I know we have had a few problems from a technical point of view on the threads. These have been worked on behind the scenes and so here is a new open thread that I hope runs smoothly.

Bill suddenly decides things might be an issue whilst talking to Cameron suddenly it’s an issue about ISIS leaflets being handed out in “Oxford Street” The no go areas obviously / are were not. With the emphasis firmly on “the unarmed black teenager” this story rumbles on although not exactly the story running on some American sites. Migrants in a container, should that not be Illegal immigrants. BBc SNAFU.
Anybody heard of 2 people getting 50 years between them for rape in the Uk, Very Harsh sentence but for some reason the bBC hasn’t heard of the story. I wonder why they haven’t picked the story up seeing the length of the sentence is so unusually long. Brothers jailed for 50 years after gun-point rape and robbery of prostitutes
Two brothers who raped and robbed two prostitutes at gun-point in Lewisham have been jailed for a total of 50 years at the Old Bailey today.The pair subjected their victims to a horrifying ordeal, ransacking their home before one declared himself as their ‘pimp’ and threatened to kill them if they failed to comply.But within days Ali and Basiru Deen were caught by police, and following a trial were sentenced to 20 and 30 years in prison respectively.
