    Stew: They’re SO clever, aren’t they? Imagine all the high fives…
    But criticize it and you’ll hear all about Enoch’s speech, Stephen Lawrence and Windrush (however irrelevant to the message in the picture).
    Yes, I do believe they’re on a roll…

    “Tonight will be making the positive case why our great Country UK is stronger, safer and better off by being in the European Union” – Amber Rudd @3:27 {youtube}

    Stronger .. because it gives us influence (unless it is tampon vat tax).

    Safer … because strength in numbers, like 1 million people from Africa coming to help Europe out who are living in Germany who are trying to pay them to go back home.

    Better off .. because it gives us access to the Worlds largest market, except Africa on our doorstep but let’s keep feeding China.

    Glorious weather here.
    But, being the BBC their radio weather forecast focused on poor West Wales , only having a temp of 7 degrees.
    Imagine the BBC are off down there to Pembroke as I write, blaming climate freezing and Brexit.
    Anyway-I`m NOT enjoying this weather, hope you`ll all show solidarity with the coastal Taffs.
    Ice cream vans run on diesel-are you HAPPY about that you Gaia gang bangers?

    But I digress-having just heard “You and Yours” for all of ten minutes, am seeking out a recyclable and ethically-sourced piece of rope to hang myself.
    Oh-and if Mike Reid even knew that his “Runaround” would become an audio game, where blind lesbians and miserabilists bump into each other wailing around endless recycled first world non-issues, he`d be spinning in his Nick (Nick Cave=grave!..vital to make up our own Cockney Rhyming slang, or else the Waynes will take over the asylum!…)
    Leave it aht, you mappets!!! Ter…riff …ick!

    There will always be a welcome berth at the BBC surely? Unless the sulks and rants and demands to be invited on or be accused of bias have worn thin even there?

    Did I hear rightly? TWatO: Another mosque somewhere needs extending due to expansion. Do the English really want to know this? I didn’t hear but I have to assume that’s Londonistan or Bradford or some other blossoming UK islamic caliphate. What was touching though is the BBC needing to report that the iman or someone took time out to approach the local “white” (I’m sure I heard the expression used) people to discuss the implications. Apparently no ‘whitey’ in dissent. Yet more one-sided accommodation. Lovely. When critical mass is reached will they bother to approach the local ‘whiteys’ to ascertain their positiion on having their heads hacked off or their wives stoned or they homosexual sons or lesbian daughters being thrown off a high building in accordance with their cult handbook? If building work is required, I do hope they build the minaret high enough to deal with the latter.

    The year is 2018 … Will Sadiq Khan (believes Islam is great) or Jeremy Corbyn (protests for Al Quds) comment?

    “Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humour in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.”
    —Ayatollah Khomeini, jan1980 (80 million Muslim people follow this man’s beliefs and ideas in 2017).

    Iranian government beat the people up but say they don’t want to beat up the people whilst they beat then up … Jeremy? Sadiq? Tulip? Warsi?

    . . . . as the UK Foreign Office hand out Hijabs ….

    “Disturbing video morality police beating a woman for “inadequate” hijab. Govt ministers say they will investigate but WE want compulsory hijab to be gone”
