    Scousers are being banned from wearing hoodies, to combat anti-social behaviour. The Public Spaces Protection Order states that Heads and faces must not be covered by hoods or other face coverings (except cultural items of clothing). How long before someone claims that wearing hoodies is part of Scouse culture?

      Does a burqa count as a hoodie?

        Probably covered in the cultural weasel.

        Making it pretty much a one way free for all for some.

      Probably of safer ground with medical exemption.

      They likely would require surgical removal.

      Scousers banned from covering their faces. Ha ha. Here are Cameron’s pro muslim scousers. He needs them to combat UKIP, the EDL, and probably the Brexit ‘fascists’. Worth checking just how many of these street thugs are walking out of the courts having the charges against them dismissed. Someone is protecting the rabid left. For what?

          Looking at the image you’ve posted, GWF, it seems that a lot of these useless leftist clowns are trying to reproduce the face covering antics of their favourite religion (admittedly these fools consider it a ‘race’)

            I have been following the antics of the UAF and (rival) Antifa movements, and it is the case that the face covering is inspired by the jihadist enemies of our state who are their friends. There was a call during the Arab Spring to imitate the heroic Islamists with face covering.

    Uighur bored

    Tibet, yes I can understand that’s worth a mention – but does the BBC now see it as their prime directive to shill for every malcontented muslim under the sun?

    Don’t bother to answer that, it was a rhetorical question.

    They don’t make ’em like that anymore

    Remember the opening to that BBC comic classic Porridge? Judge: “Norman Stanley Fletcher, you have pleaded guilty to the charges brought by this court… You are an habitual criminal, who accepts arrest as an occupational hazard, and presumably accepts imprisonment in the same casual manner.”

    Read this in the same style and see if it brings that same familiar smile….

    Judge : “You are an educated Bangladeshi of previous good character and arrived here last year seeking asylum. I accept that you have struggled with the repercussions of this offence for which you have shown some remorse and I take this into account when sentencing you.”

    This is a delicious moment, very unlikely to be broadcast on BBC News:
    Home Affairs Select Committee 21.10.2015 at 16:28:06, Keith Vaz interrupts Tom Watson’s evidence to say “Order! Lord Prescott, I’m sorry, we are in the middle of a session; we do not want chatting in the gallery, thank you”.
    What an oaf Prescott is, and how disrespectful of a serious investigation of conduct in respect of the Lord Brittan scandal.

      It’s coming to something when that vile slug Vaz stands up against his pals in Labour. Probably exercising some old grudge, rather than doing something for the right reasons.

    Not sure if this has been posted yet: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-34582382

    What concerns me greatly about this story is that I suspect this is not the only child being used in some very dubious circumstances. Given the vast majority of immigrants travelling across Europe are young men, I suspect children like the one in this story are even more vulnerable to the types of man/men highlighted in this story.

    Of course, the BBC will continue to push woman and children as their “visual icons” for this invasion, but in reality, I fear those two groups are being left behind by selfish men on the march for benefits and a new white bride.

    So farewell then Michael Meacher.
    Apparently he was “weak as water”-and that coming from Neil(Lord) Kinnochio of Bedwetty.
    Meacher was Benns teabag carrier for most of his worthless, useless career…and did rather well re property deals and owning multiple houses.
    Public school educated toff and tribune of the Volk-and the cretins of Oldham voted this Labour skidmark in repeatedly since 1970.
    Therefore-cut the references to his wealth, his effete uselessness and worthless waste of a good skin-and we have a “true Parliamentarian”…greatest Minister of Spoons that we never had.
    Reckon he`ll get the full ten minutes of Last Word-the BBC like his posturing gnomic kind.
    One less Moocher to featherbed in the Commons-the BBC will be sad though…and won`t we all know it?

    We’re all doomed now ! migrants are now ‘boating’ it to Cyprus !! and our military are helping to look after them. CLEVER !! Britain and Cyprus apparently have an ‘agreement’ that Britain will take responsibility for the boat people. That makes it a doddle now to claim asylum as they will be on arguably British soil within the confines of the Base !!! Prepare for an armada heading to Cyprus !

    I remember Meacher in 70s and 80s being decidedly left wing.
    He came across as a true socialist.

    RIP MICHAEL MEACHER

    According to the Oldham Chronicle, he has passed away aged 75 “after suffering with a short illness”. He leaves behind a wife and 12 homes…

    Today is Trafalgar Day.

    I mentioned it earlier today, but there has been no BBC mention. The BBC is our country’s broadcaster paid for by the sons of those who stood firm against Napoleon’s invasion fleet.

    I don’t ask for a celebratory documentary. I just ask for recognition of an important historical event that made Britain and Europe a better place, and free of Napoleon’s tyranny.

    Is it too much to ask?

      The BBC is so anti-British these days and has a staff which does not care about British culture and history unless it is post 1950s black. How long will it be before there is a Peace and Reconciliation process and Aborigine British get our culture and heritage back?

        I rather like Cecil Rhodes comment on the British and our Empire – though I don’t expect I shall hear or see it on Al Beebus anytime never.

    In celebration of Lord Nelson’s Trafalgar Victory, I bring you a clip from the ‘ Master and Commander’ film.

    Set in the Pacific at the time of Nelson’s triumph, it gives us a taste of battle against an imposing yet morally inferior French opposition. But then again…I’m biased and proud of it.
