Why do all those Beeboids and Leftie dhimmis who lick the muslim ass not convert to Islam if they really believe in it ?
That is such a good point. Seems obvious but I reckon it comes down to having your cake and eating it. They can be, Islamic, BLM and SJ Warriors all from the comfort of their keyboard. All the virtue, all the perceived power without having to get a tan or grow a beard.
For the very practical reason, Grant, that there are few Mosques in Mayfair, Hampstead, the Cotswolds, the Yorkshire Dales, the better parts of Cheshire, or the South Coast. Furthermore, not being able to drink would be a serious disadvantage at the numerous social events that their careers demand.
I’m sure they’d be happy to convert otherwise. Who wouldn’t?
Got to go. Prayer time.
They shouldn’t let lack of a mosque hamper them. They can just nip down the market and buy a mat. And then do it in their bathroom, outside loo or wherever the fancy takes them.
Radio 4 Extra is running a red glasses tinted series with the Blairite title The People’s Post Office.
Although admitting at the start that the Post Office was created to keep tabs on the King’s enemies the socialist revisionist historian Dominic Sandbrook tries to convince us that it became the people’s friend, the interface with the benificent state.
For most people who used the ‘office’ part of the service pre-1969 it was the place where they paid the tax on dogs, car radios, house radios and TV. It was also the place where ‘the poor’, (those without a bank account), got to pay a premium to hand money to the Post Office for them to hand over the sum later to someone else, always assuming that the Post Office hadn’t ‘lost’ it in transit. It was also the place where some people paid their employment tax. The only people who got money out of the Post Office were the pensioners, who were only collecting their legal entitlement.
Clearly the author thinks that if we once had an omni-present Post Office it would be a good thing if the state again moved into all services currently supplied by commercial providers. Shades of the USSR.
Then there was the GPO, those kind folks who if they were feeling generous might get round to fitting a new phone line into your house as long as you were prepared to wait 6 months (because there were no other companies around to do it).
Six months? We had to wait nearly a year. And then of course many had to share their ‘party line’ with a neighbour.
More from The Memory Hole. Not to be broadcast by the BBC…………..ever:
https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2016/09/14/massive-cover-up-exposed-285-papers-from-1960s-80s-reveal-robust-global-cooling-scientific-consensus/
It had to be done. Too many skeptics were (correctly) pointing out that the scientific “consensus” during the 1960s and 1970s was that the Earth had been cooling for decades, and that nascent theorizing regarding the potential for a CO2-induced global warming were still questionable and uncertain.
Not only did Connolley — a co-founder (along with Michael Mann and Gavin Schmidt) of the realclimate.com blog — successfully remove (or rewrite) the history of the 1970s global cooling scare from the Wikipedia record, he also erased (or rewrote) references to the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age so as to help create the impression that the paleoclimate is shaped like Mann’s hockey stick graph, with unprecedented and dangerous 20th/21st century warmth.
A 2009 investigative report from UK’s Telegraph detailed the extent of dictatorial-like powers Connolley possessed at Wikipedia, allowing him to remove inconvenient scientific information that didn’t conform to his point of view.
Poor old Orwell, spinning so fast his head’s about to pop up in Australia.

I didn’t realise they had changed the meaning of the word “bumper” to mean crap.
Misprint – should read, ‘bummer’.
‘tell it often enough’ at its desperate best.
Outside London Broadcasting
I’m listening to the discussion from Saturday midnight on R5
The Channel 4 guy argued that TV should be based in London then all the regional film-makers can come down to London to see all the different company programme commissioners.
He very proudly shouted “about 40% of our spend and 50% of prog hours is outside London”
..Yes mate but 75% of UK population is far from that M25 area
(London has 12,8% of UK population)
So you are still too London-centric
..and London is not in the centre of the country
And neither is Salford.
Sadly the BBC attempts at reaching out to the nation has stalled on Salford Quays from where it seems the majority of their content is gathered there or within a five mile radius of their studio. Five Live has become Radio Salford.
Number 88
I have long suspected that interviews with activists and aid workers in Syria actually take place in Salford with local actors.
The American MSM spend 18 months of the election campaign denigrating and sneering at Donald Trump and many of his supporters. BBC and C4 follow suit in the UK. The MSM are then surprised when Trump holds a meeting with some if it’s leading members and is less than complimentary. The BBC think this is shocking too and headline it this evening. Are they all really so stupid or are they continuing to interpret everything Trump does as negatively as possible ?
Bet the BBC won’t be reporting this little jihadi gem: https://www.rt.com/news/367803-sharia-police-german-court/
Trump by-passes the media.
I do hope he humiliates the BBC hacks
It beats me – it’s just not clicked with the hacks that, Trump is now the President of the United States of America and not the UKIP MP for Salford East.
The day seemed to start with Trump hoping that Nigel is offered the Ambassador role by May.
Cue mass weeping and wailing from the liberals and the BBC, who seem not to find this funny,
Cue “dignity of the office” Protocols breached” and “how very dare he”…and out trots Christopher Meyer to say that Farage isn`t smart enough or such…Christopher Meyer said that…er, ….
But a full day of the BBC beetling around, looking tearful and Nigel gaining the plaudits as Trump hogs the days output.
Keeps us all from Brexit and Coxy though.
Come in tonight-and the BBC say that Trump is “failing to keep his campaign promise” in letting Hillary off.
No need for any nuance or facts here…he is failing to deliver says the BBC.
Er…I`ll not bore them with the fact that they`ve got important judges and legal bits and bobs over there that decide these things.
And it was NOT a campaign promise-just the soundbite of the debates and a good chant at the rallies.
Must be SO hard to keep your marbles and perspective now at the BBC…may well get some Milo masks, and get a few pals to put the wind up their blowholes…the Daily Wind-Up…and we`ve got The Don to thank for it.
But surely Farage is a celeb – if only he would do Strictly!
What are his cake baking skills like?
So the BBC is banging on about a Tweet, unaware that Trump is just trolling them.
Yet yesterday released a video direct to Youtube with his main policies …yet the BBC don’t even mention it ?
I am sory to state this , I wish we had a Prime Minister like this chap . Someone to put our people first and someone to put the ‘Great’ back in Great Britain.
Someone to rid us of the ‘libtards’.
We in this great country have been neglected for years by the career politicians and I am afraid that May will betray us over Brexit.
A little reminder ……
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/133618
See – ‘Read the response in full’
taffman, why be sorry? A great many of us wish the same. Jealous that we don’t have a Trump just a bunch of, ‘please all the people, all the time’ MPs either too comfortable or too constrained to do much more than exist.
The BBC and the rest of the establishment continue to treat Nigel Farage
is if he is a pantomime villain. They mock him on TV and the Houses of Parliament.
I have written this before Mother Theresa probably despises him more than anybody else.
Nigel Farage is more responsible for Brexit than anyybody in this country.
And Theresa May has become Prime Minister because of this . What a poison chalice
this is for her.
Donald Trump IS going to be the next president of the USA . And nothing the BBC says
or does will change this. Nothing that the pompous twats in the House of Commons says
or does will change this. BOTH can use Farage as their whipping boy and treat him with
distain. BUT in the end it is going to cost them dear as the electorate suss out whose side
they are REALLY on. And it AINT the majority who voted for Brexit!!
It does appear that the BBC’s girl at No 10 is revealing her position regarding the suggestion Nigel might be Trump’s ambassador. Then, perhaps more revealing, is her ban on Trump’s supporter, Milo, from speaking at his former grammar school.
It is hard to see this PM as anything more than a left progressive anti conservative pro EU elitist who should be put into a dustbin like Clinton before Trump’s inauguration
Interesting piece on Milo’ ban in the Telegraph. May won’t be able to shit on Milo like she did with Tommy Robinson
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/11/21/school-cancels-talk-far-right-trump-cheerleader-milo-yiannopoulos/
If we see Nigel as the anchovy that can`t be removed from the liberal radiators then we can enjoy their tortures.
And the stink will only get worse for them.
Think you mean, herring or even mackerel.
Off subject I know, but we’ve had one day of rain resulting in some serious looking floods. Not spending on defences? Too much building on flood plains and culverting over run offs? Priorities in this country – seriously in question?
Italian Referendum – No voters to achieve majority, 2/7 SkyBet and Ladbrokes, 1/5 Paddy Power.
Austrian Presidential Vote – Hofer to win, 2/5 William Hill, 4/9 Paddy Power.
How is the propaganda going ALBeeb? Five Billion pounds PA + whatever the EU bribes them with, yet they still cannot get any results. Stalin would have given them jobs on the White Sea Canal, and I do not mean Frenkel type jobs.
Donald Trump: Nigel Farage would be great UK ambassador
“But No 10 rejected the suggestion, saying “there is no vacancy”. ”
No.10 I assume are obliged to respond. The bbc however are so anal they couldn’t even see a wind-up when it bites them on the bum. This is the price you have to pay for being a bunch of politically motivated assholes instead of the balanced corporation your charter requires.
PMSL.
Channel 4 news Trump hatefest – full 20 minutes anti trump propaganda – any impartiality has been ditched completely. Black US reporter (female) absolutely disgusted by Snow……..now going on about Trump Nazi supporters.
Will now have to break the habit of a lifetime and watch Jon Snows hectoring of a black U.S journalist (Stacey Washington?)who fails to accuse Trump of abusing her on Twitter.
Only caught the last minute, so may be wrong-doubt it, Channel 4 being what it is.Budgie cage sweepings of the BBC Parrots.
She openly refused to play his game-there was no truth in his allegations.
But Snow desperately said “But he`s been attacking the journalist profession-you are a professional journalist?”.
The poor woman now knows that liberal British press pack are like. Just phone it in, make it up.
World Shark Jumping Moment of the Week?…Jon Snow!
C4 News – it got worse tonight; “did you at any time mention your faith?” asked Assed “Uncle Tom” Baig of the lady dressed as a letterbox, who is suing a school for discrimination.
BBC board has been overrun by SJW trolls spewing personal insults, time for us to redress the balance:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38064664#comment_125814891
Yep there’s 1,400 comments mostly namecalling from SJW set
probably oneguy sitting behind multiple accounts
So for once they top the likes with about 300, whilst they unlike all our comments.
Top one supporting Farage has 200 votes
This is an interesting article by Pat Buchanan on what now confronts the incoming Trump administration:
http://www.vdare.com/articles/a-besieged-trump-presidency-ahead
Also, I don’t think many people will know this already but:
“Jo Cox was murdered a week before the referendum.” I only found that out because al beebus told me.
I just saw this on a Breitbart post and thought it was well worth sharing.
“Dear Hollywood celebrities, professional athletes and other entertainers:
You exist for my entertainment. Some of you are great eye candy. Some of you can deliver a line with such conviction that you bring tears to my eyes. Some of you can scare the crap out of me. Others make me laugh. Some of you are amazing athletes, others of you touch my soul with your musical gifts.But you all have one thing in common; you only have a place in my world to entertain me. That’s it.
You make your living pretending to be someone else. Playing dress up like a 6 year old, playing games or music. You live in a make believe world in front of a camera. And often when you are away from one too. Your entire existence depends on my patronage.
I’ll crank the organ; you dance.
I don’t really care where you stand on issues. Honestly, your stance matters far less to me than that of my neighbor. You see, you aren’t real. I turn off my TV or shut down my computer and you cease to exist in my world. Once I am done with you, I can put you back in your little box until I want you to entertain me again.
I don’t care that you think the BP executives deserve the death penalty. But I bet you looked cute saying it.
And you? Really? I’m supposed to care what the director of fluffy tripe made for gullible people thinks about global warming or gun control? Get back into your bubble. I’ll let you know when I’m in the mood for something blue and shiny.
And I’m also supposed to care that you will leave this great country if Trump becomes president? Ha. Please don’t forget to close the door behind you. We’d like to reserve your seat for someone who loves this country and really wants to be here.
Make me laugh, or cry. Scare me. But realize that the only words of yours that matter are scripted. I might agree with some of you from time to time, but it doesn’t matter. In my world, you exist solely for my entertainment.
So, shut your pie holes and dance, monkeys!!!”
Superb.
I complained to the BBC 2 weeks ago about their anti-Trump coverage during the US elections. They have denied it, as you would expect (see below), but the best bit is they have addressed me with a ‘non-binary’ title!
Dear non-binary Tabs
Thank you for contacting us about our coverage of the US presidential election. We appreciate that you feel our reporting has been biased against Donald Trump.
This was one of the most extraordinary US presidential elections in history. On the night of the election, our reporters conveyed the drama as the results were announced. We were careful to feature a balanced range of experts and commentators from across the political spectrum.
Donald Trump winning the election generated a lot of reaction, both positive and negative, in America, and across the world; this has been reflected in our coverage.
BBC News doesn’t have a view on whether or not Mr Trump will be a good president, nor do we believe there has been anything in our coverage which would suggest that we have. This is, however, obviously a huge news story, and as our audience would expect, we analysed the results and outcome of the election, presenting the facts, so that they could make up their own minds.
Thanks again for contacting us.
Kind Regards
BBC Complaints Team
I have just been watching both biased bbc and the equally biased sky news…………..Just when are the liberal news media going to relent on the constant biased drivel the they pump out? – all just anti brexit and anti trump nonsense.
I know I am posting to a similar minded audience here but goodness gracious the bias is not only unhidden it is pushed right into your face.
Is anyone out there ever going to do something about this?
For example, hands up who knew who the UK ambassador to the US was before all this Farage stuff……….. No, me neither. Hands up who knew who Nigel Farage was before this US ambassador stuff………..Yes, me too.
They are still ganging up on him to keep him out – the liberal elite club that is both may and johnson…
How much has May done since June 24th?……Answer a great big fat NOTHING.
Apologies for the rant everyone but this business can test one’s patience
The list of UK ambassadors to the US is one massive boys club for public schoolboy and Oxbridge graduates. The position is only open to those in the club and has nothing to do with what’s best for the UK or the USA hence Nigel Farage would never ever be considered for it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ambassadors_of_the_United_Kingdom_to_the_United_States
Trump should just appoint him a special advisor at the WH on matters EU & Brexit, more specifically how they will relate to the UK and US; after all, who knows that subject better than Nigel Farage? He hasn’t just read about it in a book: he lived it.
If the Appeaser won’t make use of an asset like N.F. then Trump would do well to do so, in the national interests of both our countries.
Just quickly looking at the internet, there are several sites which estimate the personal wealth of Barak Obama at around $12 million. Oddly his wife Michelle has exactly the same $12 million (they are different and separate not a joint figure), a remarkable achievement for a full time job with a taxable salary of $400 000 pa.
Rumour has it though that his daughters are extremely wealthy and that rather than the Saudi gold being given to him, which would raise suspicion, it has gone directly to the kids.
Maybe it’s a malicious rumour and maybe Obama is not as rapaciously greedy as Hilary, who is the wealthiest person in his cabinet, or maybe he’s just been better at hiding it !
Trump supporters Nazi salute is a story that the BBC and LeftMob have picked up this last 24 hours.
– I don’t suppose it checks out to be much news-worthy
(They ran similar stories in March 2016, I wonder if today they used some of the old pictures mixed in)
The planet is full of nutters so it would be similarly easier to find half a dozen Hillary supporters doing something nutty ..like pulling someone out of a car for voting Trump.
“I condemn them. I disavow, and I condemn”
Trump said in a New York Times interview in New York, according to a reporter’s Twitter post.
Donald Trump: ‘I Disavow’ Alt-Right Groups
Breitbart News – 11 hours ago
Trump disavows ‘alt-right’ supporters
BBC News – 2 hours ago
a precis of the NYT Trump Interview : Sorry it’s a bit long
Trump is pressed if he has definitively ruled out prosecuting Hillary Clinton.
“It’s just not something that I feel very strongly about.”
“I don’t want to hurt the Clintons, I really don’t,”
Mr. Trump said. “She went through a lot and suffered greatly in many different ways.”
He also said that it could be argued that the Clinton Foundation had done “good work.”
(His reversal has already provoked a backlash among some of his supporters, something he said Tuesday he did not expect to happen.)
Trump says he is “seriously considering” Mattis for DoD, says he asked Mattis about waterboarding, was surprised he didn’t favor it.
DoD Department of Defense.
(General Mattis “oversaw military operations in the Middle East and Southwest Asia from 2010 to 2013,” Obama believed he was too hawkish on Iran.”)
Will the President-elect condemn Richard Spencer’s alt-right gathering?
“I condemn them. I disavow, and I condemn,” says Trump.
“It’s not a group I want to energize, and if they are energized, I want to look into it and find out why,” Mr. Trump said in the interview on Tuesday.
Trump is asked about concerns from minority groups about Breitbart News’s coverage under Steve Bannon. His reply:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cx4yaVrXEAAAiwY.jpg
Tom Friedman asks if Trump will withdraw from climate change accords. Trump: “I’m looking at it very closely. I have an open mind to it.”
Asked whether he thought human activity was linked to climate change, Mr. Trump said: “I think there is some connectivity. Some, something. It depends on how much.”
But while acknowledging the connection, he said in response to questions about the warming climate that he was thinking about “how much it will cost our companies.”
(a turn away from assertions that human-caused climate change was a “hoax,” something that he later claimed never to have said)
“I might have brought it up,” Trump says of Farage meeting and wind farms (near Trump’s golf courses)
Trump savages Rs who didn’t back him, said he told Ayotte “no thank u” on a Cabinet post, Heck fell “like a lead balloon” & he wasn’t sorry
(Senator Kelly Ayotte, a Republican who was unseated by New Hampshire’s governor, Maggie Hassan, a Democrat. Ms. Ayotte had turned against Mr. Trump late in the campaign, saying that she misspoke when she called him a role model.
– The “Heck” he’s referring to is Representative Joe Heck, a Republican who was defeated in Nevada by Catherine Cortez Masto, his Democratic challenger.)
Trump says “in theory” he could continue signing checks at his company, but he is “phasing that out now” and giving to his kids.
Pressed about his business interests, Mr. Trump also said, “In theory I could run my business perfectly and then run the country perfectly.”
“The law’s totally on my side,” Mr. Trump said. “The president can’t have a conflict of interest.”
– what role he sees Kushner playing. Indicates formal role unlikely but he could be a player on Mideast peace.
(Jared Kushner, Mr. Trump’s Jewish son-in-law)
Mr. Kushner has arranged important meetings for Mr. Trump, including one with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, and has sought out the advice of foreign policy experts including Henry Kissinger. “I would love to be the one who made peace with Israel and the Palestinians, that would be such a great achievement,” Mr. Trump said.
Open up the libel laws? Trump says someone told him, “You know, YOU might be sued a lot more.’ I said, You know, I hadn’t thought of that.”
Imagine how Trump feels after 18 months of campaigning?
Elated, excited, exhausted, overwhelmed, humbled, relieved and in no great mood for revenge – not just yet.
Just because Trump has said he won’t be going after Hillary doesn’t mean he’ll stop others from so doing: Congress; the FBI; the NYPD etc.
It also doesn’t mean that the (ongoing) FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation, in about four major cities, will cease.
Nicola Sturgeon confirms ‘Norway model’ option
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-37993028
Well have a butcher’s at this …..
http://www.scandinaviatimes.com/index.php/sid/249608067
Taffman, I can’t think of an occasion where I have disagreed with your comments, might here though.
Sturgeon is an insignificant racist, English hating idiot. Anything she says is irrelevant to anything that is relevant.
You’re still my troll eating hero though Taffman.
wronged
It appears the trolls are extinct ? Mores the pity really.
But what’s to disagree about this ? 😉
“NICOLA STURGEON’S hopes of blocking Brexit by securing a special deal with Brussels were dashed today as Norway said she had no power to negotiate with the European Union.”
http://www.scandinaviatimes.com/index.php/sid/249608067
PS the Norwegians don’t send us Christmas Trees for nothing…….
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trafalgar_Square_Christmas_tree
Sorry Taffman, I zapped a few who were a bit rude to myself and other posters. I’ll give you a bit more time with them next time. I know you enjoy playing with them, what is more I think you are brilliant at doing it.
I cannot imagine that so many Scots think she is someone whose comments are to be respected.
The question the SNP have to answer is would you wish to remain part of the the UK or belong to a failing EU who cannot afford to fund your ailing economy.
I don’t believe all the Scots are so stupid as to vote for their own demise.
Sturgeon makes sense to Scots when they are drunk or when England play Scotland at football or are lefty supporters of the BBC.
Any intelligent person/Scot should regard Sturgeon to be an idiot. The political commentariat never challenge her anywhere near enough.
Your second point emphasises this point very well. i think I am agreeing with you again Taffman.
Once again sorry about the zapping, I only zap them when they become repeatedly rude and offensive to someone, never when they produce an inoffensive credible point of view. Balance is good for thinking and debate.
“Any intelligent person/Scot should regard Sturgeon to be an idiot.”
There are plenty of intelligent Scots on this site – for instance Grant and RolandDeschain – and yes, they do regard her for what she is. However, she is a dangerous idiot and may destroy Scotland by destroying the UK. The BBC support her in her evil endeavour.
Demon,
‘There are plenty of intelligent Scots on this site – for instance Grant and Roland Deschain’
Agreed, they are excellent contributors.
I have belief in the good sense of the Scottish people. The BBC are indeed ‘the fly in the ointment’, to what I consider to be the politically naive in Britain.
wronged
Sturgeon and her SNP wants ‘independence’ from Great Britain. A Great Britain where we have the best democracy in the world and where they have many Scottish MPs in Parliament to represent them. She wants to ‘jump into bed’ with an EU that is run by unelected Commissioners and lose its sovereignty forever.
I cant believe that the brave nation and part of this island that helped form Great Britain wants to leave its cousins and allies and join a continent that’s ‘not going anywhere’
I am of the opinion that one or two ‘trolls’ were ‘Al Beeboids’ and ‘haemorrhoids’ deliberately winding up posters and using bad and offensive language to discredit this site .
If we refrain from offensive language we will have many more readers concurring with our objective, women in particular.
Lets hear it form the Scottish posters…….
🙂
taffy,
It is a complete mystery to me. I can only assume that the SNP racist hatred of the english is so great that it overrides any consideration of being ruled by a totalitarian elite in the EU. And being dragged down with it.
Robert the Bruce must be turning in his grave !
Grant
Its not all Scots – Don’t forget the referendum – they wanted to remain part of GB!
Now the ‘losers’ want the ‘best of three’ eh? ……
https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/politics/holyrood/1092538/economist-claims-mays-zero-plans-for-brexit-will-push-scotland-towards-a-second-independence-referendum/
I am surprised that Al Beeb has not yet picked up on it ?
Perhaps their researchers will when they visit this site?
“A Great Britain where we have the best democracy in the world and where the Scots have many Scottish MPs in Parliament to represent them.”
I’d say one of the best democracies. Not because I’m a relativist, I’m not, but because we don’t seem to know what to do about the Upper House. The argument that it preserves experience and wisdom no longer seems to apply and the number of peers is ridiculous. There are people who have no business being there. We know who they are.
So far as Scottish MPs are concerned, I don’t have any figures but for as long as I can remember, Scots have always been prominent in Parliament. Part of the furniture, almost, and I don’t recall any English people I know expressing serious concern at this until the likes of Salmond and Sturgeon came along and started mouthing off. The dedication to socialism and Mel Gibson are a concern but I’m sure that commonsense will prevail, eventually.
(Not Scottish, btw)
One awaits the BBC coverage with eager anticipation.
Nobels for all!
It would appear that the liberals and the luvies still look after their own. What are the bank balances of these elites? Champagne socialists doesn’t even come close. Do they really concern themselves with ordinary folk? I suspect not (virtue signalling to a twitter audience at arms length while you sup your champagne in the comfort of your home doesn’t qualify as genuine concern I’m afraid). But they lay a pretty good smokescreen to deflect public interest away from basics like can you afford your mortgage or rent?, do you want to eat or heat your home? and on to more important matters like whether your toilet rights have been violated or are we being unfair to an alien religion that we didn’t want in the first place.
If I was a black person in the USA I would ask Obama, as the first black POTUS, what exactly have you done for me in the past 8 years?
The answer of course is that he has done the square root of fuck all for blacks and, as such, has fanned the flames of perceived racism.
That old Jedi mind trick is alive and well.
these aren’t the liberals you’re looking for.
I watched the old Culloden documentary when a child and just can’t watch Braveheart.
I’d love to live in Scotland with it’s low population density, free prescriptions and hospital parking. My Great Grandad, a Scotch Draper walked to the Black Country and settled here.
But destroying the United Kingdom in order to create President Sturgeon – I don’t think so.
