She is another Parliamentary diabetic (like the PM) and I think has migraine & other issues. During the 2017GE Campaign there were some pictures of Diane looking a horrible grey colour. Suspect heart and circulation may not be 100% and be the ‘other issues’. She really needs to retire and concentrate on looking after herself.
The taxpayer subsidised bars in the House and the other place can be a problem for MPs & Peers spending lots of time there with not a lot to do.
Still nothing but smiley faces on show when the subject of those who “died” in Manchester is brought up.
If that had happened to my child I’d be a ball of rage for the rest of my life. I’m sure many people are incredibly angered and still upset by what happened. And yet none of these views are every seen or heard.
Genuine question, how many of the parents and close relatives of those who were killed have ever been asked how they REALLY feel in a tv interview. In fact how many have been interviewed on tv at all? Or had those interviews broadcast if you catch my drift.
I’ve often thought that about all the abused and raped girls in our Northern towns.
My experience of Northerners as been that they are feisty and ‘spade is spade’ type of people, and yet they all seem to have taken the MSM view that we should all shut up for the sake of diversity.
Similar to you Woolwich, that wouldn’t have happened to me or mine without some response.
It is either is being contained by the state forces, or we generally don’t care anymore.
Maybe I’ll regret pointing this out, but the victims of the Manchester bomber were mainly children and young people and, I believe and am happy to be corrected, all white.
The young people part is represented in Diane Abbot’s photo ops but the white part isn’t. I’m not even sure it should matter but surely a representative group of people should have been chosen to represent the occasion being marked. Plus they should’ve been told not to smile.
How about a German in a NAZI uniform smiling at a Holocaust memorial?
That about parallels the Muslim woman in Islamic uniform pictured smiling IMO.
A pretty strong message about who is in charge.
But slower cars create more emissions for longer? Won’t this increase the number of dead by pollution?
London Mayor Sadiq Khan also wants to introduce the 20mph limit on high-risk roads in London’s suburbs, but these plans are subject to discussions with borough councils.
He said the “bold and far-reaching plans” will help to reduce the more than 2,000 people who are killed or seriously injured on London’s roads each year.
“No death or serious injury on London’s roads should be treated as acceptable or inevitable,” Mr Khan added.
Should that be “No death or serious injury on London’s roads should be treated as acceptable or inevitable or part and parcel of living in a big city”?
Just means they have to hit their targets 5 times instead of once.
To reduce road accidents in London: Get people to obey traffic rules.
Minor details like stopping when the lights are red. Applies to all vehicles including bicycles. How about driving on the correct side of the road?
For pedestrians: Put your phones out of your mushes when crossing or walking on the side of the road. Avoid chit chats in the middle of the road. Take care when using your intercontinental ballistic baby carts as well.
Dyst interesting that the average number of pedestriabs and cyclist s killed in londonistan for the year is about the same as the number of killings by stabbings thus far.
Campaigners for zero mph limit in London are doing pretty well
The Bonny Badge Company has about 41 BBC badges listed
but their own photos have a large white border.
(Some of the badges accuse the BBC of being pro Tory or anti Scotland Independence )
Someone once tweeted this smaller one
.. but .. they clean so many cars, what would we do without them? Those hand-wash queues can get annoyingly long so we clearly need more free movement not less, and if that means more acid flinging drunk driving reprobates then that’s just the price society has to pay if it wants clean cars
What about the one-man-and-a-supermarket-trolley* scrap metal businesses? Or the Romanian Big Issue sellers, (because our own homeless are too idle to get of their backsides?)?
* Is there any legitimate reason why a supermarket trolley should be ‘out and about’ beyond the supermarket’s site? Shouldn’t ‘being in possession’ result in collars being felt? A self-advertising crime surely?
\\ A mother whose three-year-old son was the victim of an acid attack had been hidden in a safe house after a messy break-up before the ‘evil’ and targeted hit, it emerged today.
“The new Director of Public Prosecutions is Max Hill QC – and his appointment is already proving controversial. He is previously on the record saying that returning ISIS fighters should not be arrested and should instead be given “space” to get back to a normal life as they are just “naive” teenagers. He said that returning jihadis “do not justify prosecution and really we should be looking towards reintegration”. He also said the term “Islamist terrorism” should be banned and tried to set up a meeting with Cage, the group that called Jihadi John “a beautiful young man”. After the shambolic tenures of Alison Saunders and Keir Starmer, hardly an appointment to inspire the confidence of the public. Another proud day in the history of the Crown Prosecution Service…”
On TWatO, time was ticking on and the Montacutie was out to spend some of it at her favourite Motorway Service Station with a Doctor. (There was a wasted degree or three, if ever there was such a thing.)
But no! There was still time to squeeze in a Bashing Sajid session.
Dominic Grieve, no less, taking time off from thwarting Brexit, gave us his learned opinion. That the new Home Secretary was just wrong, wrong, wrong, while the QC continued overlooking the facts of the case. Aren’t these Lawyers wonderful? Fortunately, a down to earth MP, from the same Party, who had been in the Army fighting ISIS talked some sense for the Montacutie but not directly to the QC.
Why cannot the BBC show such dedication and determination in going after Vince Cable, say, or their own Fran Unsworth?
A raid on Cliff Richard’s property, ahead of arrest and/or charge given maximum BBC disclosure. In this case still no names after arrest. Wonder why? Five people arrested after a woman was attacked in a hotel in Manchester have been released under investigation.
A 20-year-old woman was treated for lacerations to her neck after the attack at the Hilton in the Beetham Tower on Deansgate.
Three men, a woman and a 17-year-old girl arrested on Monday on suspicion of attempted murder have been released under investigation.
I made a similar observation to a mate the other day.
The way I put it was that in any of those crimes we can be relieved and confident that the perpetrator is NOT Sir Cliff Richard. Because if it was they’d be naming him immediately. That and hovering over the crime site in an expensively hired helicopter
“That sound you just heard was gunfire on the street…”
Was that the sound of the BBC looking in detail at gang crime in London communities? No, of course not. BBC London tv news decide to investigate our capital’s gang crime by…. sending reporters to New York.
Well, why wouldn’t you, if you have the BBC budget?
Our friendly NYPD Blues explain how they have set up sound monitors in gang areas that will respond to the echo of gunfire and send the alarm direct to officers’ phones – so they get the tip off faster than waiting for the 911 calls to come into Fort Apache, the Bronx. What if they use knives?
Don’t think that idea will translate to this side of the pond. I seem to recall ‘the community’ in Birmingham getting up in arms about CCTV in ‘certain areas’ and forcing the police to backdown and to remove those racialist cameras. Gunfire detectors on lamp posts? Don’t think so.
Ah, this next idea is far more likely to catch our Little-Man-Khan’s attention – extra funding for…. well, almost anything, but let’s go with community police officers.
Our intrepid BBC reporter tells us there are differences between The Big Apple and the Great Wen. Although she doesn’t go into too much detail about exactly how Gotham differs from Londonistan. Except to say New York is getting safer and London is getting more dangerous. In a way this is a positive story – for New York. So the travel expenses were not all wasted. Perhaps she should come home and do a piece on London?
BBC : “Hello BBC the free advertising platform for Snowflakes”
caller “Yes can we get a free advert for Universal Basic Income ?”
BBC : “Sure, we’ll use the Jeremy Vine trick
..where your mate appears as the chosen expert and Jeremy acts like he knows nothing ..and will go hey wow
..and there won’t be any of those nasty challenging voices from the other side ”
So at 1:15pm that’s how it was
Jeremy brought the expert on ..who declared the Finland experiment a success”
The main fallacy is the “all other things being equal” fallacy
Cos if you give people £15,000 that means all other things DON’T STAY equal.
… put more money into a market and the prices will get pushed up.
BBC “sir would you like a special newsveert in our print arm ..to push your dogma ?”
Giving other people’s money away is a socialist speciality. Plus, you can virtue signal at the same time. And if you can think of ever new ways to do it, why that’s virtue signalling on a grand scale!
Small problem: since it doesn’t grow on trees, someone has to work for it first…
Money for nothing: we already have a similar scheme here in Blighty, where obscene amounts of public money are paid to employees at the beeb for producing nothing at all of any worth.
The likes of the mail enjoys putting phone footage of coppers in uniform doing some kind of community dancing . The high point will be the vibrant Notting hill carnival .
Once upon a time people would have been amused at such antics but as the police break the bond with the public in order to be in touch with the ‘ community’ and demonstrate that they have been politicised to the left this kind of nonsense just looks like embarrassing self indulgence when the thing they should be doing .is.. police work… if they still know what that is.
3pm BBC Making History, who feel so guilty about British history being so white, they try to stuff in a BME angle at every chance
..ah lets shove in something about the Southall the Southeasts main ethnic Indian area.
\\ In Britain’s recent past, a long hot summer has often coincided with racial unrest on our streets – 1981 is perhaps the most notable example.
But while we remember events in Brixton, Toxteth and Tottenham, have we forgotten the tensions in Southall during the 1960s and 70s which, some argue, paved the way for better race relations in the UK? Lovejit Dhaliwal visits a Heritge Lottery project in Southall re-examining the importance of the town’s Youth Movement //

They remembered when the National Front had a meeting at Southall Townhall
where antifascists protested outside, thus Blair Peach died after being hit by police baton.
earlier in 1976 Asian had been arrested after protesting the death of Gurdip Singh Chaggar who died in the street , said to be a racist attack, but no one was prosecuted AFAIK.
Woman guest says she felt sad tat the London riots had no purpose, just looting.
…. No, the UK has rules of law, it is never OK to riot.
Always interesting to compare beeb’s priorities with other msm:
The embarrassingly muslim Toronto attack has all but disappeared from the beeb webshite, while it’s still high on my microsoft news feed, as is the Wolverhampton acid attack, also embarrassing to the beeb.
So today’s Guardian has the story that I mentioned : yesterday’s BBC Woman’s Hour guests talking about their all female Climate podcast.
It’s as if there was a connection between the BBC and the Guardian.
“Say University of York how can we get some free publicity ?
.. Well since media luvvies love talking about themselves , lets award 13 degress to media luvvies
(..even though they already have honary degrees already)
We’ll start with Gavin Estler and Bridget Kendall.”
How’s this for a delightful little insight into quaint middle-eastern muslim values. Some rich bitch blogger in Kuwait complains about new laws giving their Filipina slaves a tiny bit more freedom, justice and security: “How can you have a servant at home who keeps their own passport with them? And what’s worse is they have one day off every week. I don’t want a Filipina maid anymore.”
Aw, diddums.
Btw those slaves are treated appallingly throughout the muslim middle east, where they are abused, beaten, raped and occasionally murdered. After all, they’re infidels, kaffirs, second class sub-humans at best.
“The Philippines had earlier this year temporarily banned its citizens from travelling to work in Kuwait, following an incident in which a domestic worker was killed and her body found in a freezer.”
And if you think Kuwait introduced the new laws for humanitarian reasons, think again, they were obliged to: “The ban was lifted in May after Kuwait and the Philippines signed an agreement on workers’ rights.”
Why is everything about that death cult rotten to the core?
The thing I don’t twig is that Muslim women cover their hair to help male Muslims contain their arousal? Yet every Muslim woman I see is made up to the enth degree in cosmetic application! Even the burka women have half a dozen false eyelashes on the eyes. Does this not strike you as somewhat feigned? Is this the “spirituality ” their religion is so ingrained with ?
I remember that video that did the rounds, not sure where to find it now. In one of the Gulf states or Saudi itself, a low-paid foreigner is cleaning the windows on the 7th floor of a tower black whilst the home owner watches and films. The cleaner slips and grabs on desperately to prevent the fall. The wealthy Muslim woman watching and filming does nothing to help, just carries on filming. The low paid worker falls. Luckily, an awning lower down the building breaks the worker’s fall. But the incident shows what heartless, evil people they are out there. Then of course there was the fire in the girls school in Saudi, several girls died because no one would rescue them when they were not wearing hijabs. Apparently this tragedy led to protests in Saudi, a rare thing. Cruel, heartless people…and they haven’t taken in any refugees from Syria or Iraq.

The foul sweary email that was sent to pro-Brexit MP , Andrea Jenkyns
Met Police contacted her to investigate
I don’t see why , cos the writer is clearly a nutter.
Though, I guess the name at the top isn’t necessarily the actual person who sent it.
I bet Dominic Raab feels great knowing that he is second fiddle to the Remainer PM now taking over brexit discussions . Should have got rid of her when the opportunity was there .
Occasionally on here I do a Londonistan crime update . Well I’m not doing it any more as breitbart is now doing it . I only did it because al beeb often didn’t because they don’t want to make the current emir look any worse .
Three serious stabbings in londonistan in the last 24 hours . I didn’t bother with the stabbing of a 21 year old in boro at 9 30 in the morning last Friday or the shooting in hackney on Saturday night .
No more crime reports until londonistan hits 130 bodies come the end of the year . It’s on about 85?now .
BBC breaking : Ian Paisely MP suspended for not declaring Sri Lankan holiday
.. So ? I thought he’d already been suspended last week.
Today MPs just rubber stamped the committees recomendation from last week
Tweet dated July 18th
DUP MP Ian Paisley set to be suspended for 30 sitting days for breaching Parliamentary Standards over family holidays paid for by the Sri Lankan Government (?!). This means he will miss crucial #Brexit votes in September!https://t.co/U3fNsYqO9E
Biographical note.
Bidisha Gimmick, is an Asian bint who has only one name and no talent. She is a fourth rate hack in the Guardian, who is offered an opinion article when the higher ranking hacks are too hungover to meet the deadline.
At least she knew enough to get a racist remark in early.
Yes, I saw this and thought that the Beeb has started doing trailers for horror movies. Its to advertise Balls travelling in Trump territory in the U.S. He is doing his dad dancing, unveiling his fat hairy chest, and other unspeakable Acts to put you off your dinner. If ex politicians agree to this junk to boost their bank balance, what sort of mind set are they in to rule the bloody country ?
How can he hope to get loads of migrants to share his house if he`s going to walk around looking like that?
Hope Yvette and her migrants will look away until he`s found his marrow.
The Last Daily Politics – and sadly Andrew Neill for a while – he is predicting President Trump getting a second Term . Well unless there is one of those huge 9/11 type world changers I reckoned so too .
He then made the point that there little sign of either Blighty or the ReichEU planning for that- which – plot course – would be great news.
Imagine how hard al beeb CNN the NY times will work to stop that second term in 2 years ?
Not al beeb but .. Ian Paisley junior suspended for not declaring free luxury holidays in Shri Lanka … if I were him I’d spend the 30 days he’s been suspended for – going on a luxury holiday to..sh..
Reminds me of Obama hounding Tea Party voters over their IRS statements.
Like the witch-hunts over Tommy Robinson and Vote Leave types, the weaponised judiciary have been mobilised to serve the Lefts creepy agenda.
They use the courts because they can`t get any voters to democratically agree to what they want to do.
Paisley is hardly Jacqui Smith, Gerry Adams, Martin McGuinness or Keith Vaz is he?…so fair game to the Ulster hating, Christian baiting left.
People like Maria Miller got away with far worse, that Pritti Patel gets to lose her job, when Vaz and Bercow keep theirs?…well, you can see there`s no justice.
And we`ve noticed. A long hot summer is coming.
But Eddie Mair thinks that Helen Willetts from the Met is correct to warn us to stay out of the sun if we`re going to get heatstroke. And some Brighton waffler says we shouldn`t drink before swimming in the sea.
Do we pay them enough I wonder?
Such LAWfare is common ruse by eco-activists
Seems to me much of UK enviro-policy is decided by the American funded ClientEarth who keep putting in court cases.
Al Beeb is reporting that May is taking over Brexit talks!
Its like the Captain taking over the helm of the Titanic. Meanwhile, Raab is in charge of the deckchairs .
HYS comments running.
‘May taking over….’ means Oliver Robbins, a man with all the charm of Jimmy Saville, the charisma of Ribbentrop and the moral fibre of Pol Pot, the man on whom we now depend for the success of Brexit. Lucky us.
And, strange though it might seem, May in effect abrogating all responsibility to Robbins is not news, or not at 6 o’clock anyway.
On the other hand a bit of obscure shit stirring involving Aaron Banks gets major coverage.
IMHO
Here is the ‘rub’ ………….
Parliament will be offered to vote on final ‘May deal’ or cancel Brexit and remain in the EU .
“No second referendum” !
The Tory Party has put the fox incharge of the chicken coop .
It’s relentless.
Day after day we get more remainer victories over the democratic leave vote.
Chequers, should have finished her.
The resignations of leavers should have damaged her.
Raab saying we stay under eu law longer.
May and Robbins taking over the ‘brexit’ talks.
A remainer pm with remainers in the top jobs in a remain big majority cabinet supposed to be doing the leaving.
Just how much can they keep on dismissing the leave referendum.
I hear almost nothing from the leave MPs.
JRM, sounds good but a paper tiger.
All of them still supporting May and her treachery to the democratic vote.
Are we going to go quietly and meekly let soubry, May, grieve, Robbins and the other anti democratic lot have it all their own way?
I voted UKIP.
No apologies for reading the D/Mail, but even I choked when I saw a 2 page article today written by Guardian regular Alibaba Brown !! A very serious article about wanting young girls to cover up and stop showing so much ‘flesh’ ! here’s the rub……. she practically suggests we all start wearing the burka.
In her own words……….
“Suddenly, now, these over-exposed female bodies in public spaces, the absence of any feminine propriety, is making me want to take shelter in an opaque, black shroud. I want to secrete myself in a safe place, to own an d protect my precious feminine self” ………. (er, no worries on that score Yasmin, you are well past the age of being ogled with lust, if you ever were).
And then, on the subject of Love Island – and we all have views on that, but this is a beaut …………….
“Programmes such as Love Island subvert us from that journey. Teen girls now think that to get the chance to be a Barbie in a tiny bikini on that damned island, weeping for a muscular man, before jumping into bed with him (all filmed) is the best thing ever. You can see why a burka could be seen as a solution to this degradation. ……………..” ……… Um , did she never watch any of the Tarzan films, and who didn’t want to be Jane ?????
She couldn’t wait to leave Uganda in the 70’s to be ‘free’ in Great Britain, and yes she has her views, but I object to having to read them.
BRISSLES
I went to see quite a few Tarzan films in my boyhood but I have to confess I never wanted to be Jane, although I certainly had other thoughts.
She`s turned turtle, pretty sure our Yashmak was AGAINST burkas for Mislimahs only a few years ago. She even got criticised by her mates. So, mad and truly nasty though she is-I had some respect for her stance of old.
And now this?
So irredeemably nasty then, as I thought.
A hateful bitter and privileged weirdo who hates us far more than she likes anything.
Hence the love-in with the Posh papers and the BBC.
You CAN catch more flies with vinegar after all.
But like the Afua Hirsch/June Sarpong people on Sky News The Pledge .. Alibaba is one of these professional anti British activists who make their loads of dosh money by screaming anti white rhetoric on media platforms who, like the BBC, agree with them. It all comes down to money. They prostitute themselves on the altar of anti white bile for nothing **but** money.
Just been visiting friends up North in a town where the Nazgul regularly float along the streets. I almost felt sorry for them in this heat. Why must disapproval of showing a bit too much flesh in the wrong circumstances have as it’s solution the truly insane opposite? I’m sure Yasmin knows that the arabic female cover up shroud is not about protecting one’s femininity but about saving it for the old man, so what is she up to?
Sorry not about BBC bias directly but I have turned YAB off often enough.

Strewth !
They never did degrees like that when I was in yoony.
“known for her naked protest against the exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union,”
So much for liberty and independence . What would Pankhurst think ?
That`s £70 that no bursar will want to be taking off this oddball.
Do wonder how and when we started making `em like this.
She(It) is nothing like any “doctor” that I`d want.
Just exhibitionists who`d never cut in in the Amsterdam red light windows, unless little boys were your thing.
Local al beeb news for Londonistan did one of those weary New York London crime comparisons al beeb like so much – they sent a reporter there.
Then they interviewed Sophie Lindon – the deputy mayor for crime . She obviously blamed the Conservative Government . No opposition view there . Ms lindon worked as a spad to Blunkey for about 20 years then a Hackney councillor for 10 years then in charge of crime in londonistan ! Excellent choice and no practical experience at all .,
Is it to get the UK ready for the European Defence Force?
Ending The Royal Navy , The Army Regiments, and The Royal Air Force ?
All elite forces in comparison with what the EU has to offer .
It does make you wonder whats going on Taffman
Since the brexit vote we have a “Tory” Government that appears to have doubled down on “hate” crime (but only if it is committed by non Ropers).
We have a remainer in charge of brexit who has done her level best to destroy our relationship with the POTUS and more importantly turn our “negotiations” with the EU into exercise of craven supplication rather than a demonstration of taking back control and at the same time squandered the time she had to get us fit for leaving the EU
We have a couple of heads if DPP more interested in furthering a political agenda rather than justice.
We have a police force which apparently finds demonstrating solidarity with the gay community and “hate” crime more important than catching violent criminals.
And of course we have our armed services run down and with the heads of it more concerned with an equality agenda than an effective fighting force.
I think the globalist elite saw the brexit vote as “the Gypsies warning” that we have had enough of them and want change and therefore to protect their whole corrupt agenda they are throwing in everything they have in order to destroy the country, culture and freedoms that we hold dear.
No words can describe how I feel about these Quisling bastards.
Could not agree more. And foolish Raab has been cut off at the knees today, just in case he was under the illusion that he had had a say in anything. Obviously the Brussels mafia will now ignore anything he has said or will say in future, including of course his fantasy with regard to the 39,000 million quid (somehow ‘billion’ doesn’t quite capture the full extent of the betrayal).
Gunner – I hope Raab has plenty of reserves of self respect because he wont be getting any from us. He has basically been promoted to nothing more than Theresas metaphorical “bum wiper” whilst our faceless friend “Oily” Robbins and his soulmate Theresa get busy doing what this pair of ghastly, fork tongued traitors seem to do best – undermining a democracy.
BBC headline: ‘Brexit donor paid money to Lesotho government minister’. I wonder why? Oh. maybe ‘cos he’s a ‘Brexit donor’. No idea if he has done something underhand or not, but why ‘Brexit donor’? Typical use, as always, of ‘selective english wordspeak’ to propagate their bias and pepper their ‘article’: ‘ Brexit donor’ (has to be bad surely), ‘light of evidence gathered by the BBC’ (They have nothing better to do I suppose), ‘tycoon’ (must be bad, more money than sense). ‘The twice married father-of-five’ (Why is that even mentioned?). ‘Email excerpts seen by the BBC’ (Who are they, MI5?). Never met the man, don’t care about him to be honest, but why suddenly have they decided to post a pointless ‘article’ on their revolving BIG story page? Hmmm, let me see….another attempt to seed propaganda on their ‘news’ site. I’m sure If he was anti Brexit and a liberal/labour supporter it wouldn’t even be seen as newsworthy. Surprised they haven’t been able include the phrases ‘Russian election interference’ or ‘Donald Trump’?
Chalky
Good post. That’s the way it is I’m afraid. We can only hope that a lot more people begin to see the truth. It happened in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union so it could happen here.
Essentially ‘Shock horror, African politician takes bung from unprincipled anti-EU Brexiteer’, feigning outrage at the normal, expected and fully established system which applies worldwide. Worse still – even deeper shock-horror – over the whole of the EU, which is just one reason why their accounts have not been legally audited for the past decade.
But hey, we’d be mad to leave. You know it makes sense.
Nobody mentions Blair and his habit of taking money off corrupt/suspect regimes..headline never to be seen on BBC
” EU Remainer Blair takes money from corrupt regime (EU)”
SORRY! A couple of hours ago I let you know I had been interviewed for BBC World at One where I gave a robust defense of "No Deal" from a business perspective, but the BBC decided not to play my interview and only broadcast the views of a Remain businessman.
Al beeb news desperate to link hot summer and cold winter to climate change . If it was a lousy summer with a lot of rain they’d be saying that is global warming too – and what is the consequence ? Increased taxes affecting those who can least afford it most .
Just like deja vu all over again, two clowns – one looking unfortunately like a dosser with no teeth – pontificating on Newsnight about irrevocable temperature increases. Go back to 1976 and their fathers might have been parroting the same rubbish, about permanent change in northern European agriculture and similar knowledgeable conclusions. And when the following year 1977 was one of the coldest and wettest on record with crops rotting in the fields, the ‘experts’ were unavailable for comment. Or perhaps the BBC didn’t want to ask.
Fedup, it is a lousy summer. I’m hating it and praying for the rain to come back. It’s been 3 months since I’ve seen rain. Even the trees are looking stressed. It’s been almost unbearable in work and on public transport. The forecast is for even hotter weather over the next two days. I’m ready to surrender and run to The West Highlands but must wait until the brats return to school. Had enough.
Typical for us, in Central France, and a comparative rarity for the Brits. Never mind, Lucy – it’ll soon be over, then everyone will be whingeing about the chill and the wet. Bear in mind that many long, hot summers are often followed by particularly vicious winters…
…keep your woollies handy.
Corrosive substance thrown at woman in Birmingham https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-44939574
”A woman suffered serious facial injuries when a corrosive substance was thrown at her, police said.
The 47-year-old was attacked by someone on a passing moped or pushbike in the area of Northbrook Street, Ladywood, Birmingham at about 10:00 BST. ” http://guardianmeme.win/
Unusually for the BBC criticism on the BBC1 news for the NHS re the 1980s contaminated blood products scandal, as it was described by Clive Myrie. The lady who had lost her husband 2004 I think they said, explained that her husband had been fit and healthy. I am sorry, he wasn’t, he was a haemaphilliac, that was why he had treatment. To be fair there may have been alternative treatments that were as good without the risk but then they could have told us that (perhaps someone here could advise) but presumably without treatment he was at risk of causing a bleed and dying. If I have been unfair, I am sorry. But I presume that the BBC are campaigning for large payments to the families from the magic money tree that is the NHS which means us taxpayers.
Easy, tax the homosexuals community who donated the HIV positive blood.
Government should have imposed a ban on them donating earlier than 1985.
First homo in UK died of AIDS in 1982.
It took some time for hepatitis C and HIV diagnosis to confirmed. It was apparent that there was a problem, but it was not known exactly what and no tests were available.
At this stage it was a deliberate decision to give the scarce and expensive recombinant factor VII (with no risk of infection) to newly diagnosed children. Those who had already been given (high risk, pooled from American paid donors) transfusions continued to be given these and some were infected at this time, when it was known there was a problem. There is a current enquiry into who knew what when.
They cannot resist can they? I was watching Greg Wallace inside the coffee factory. It was quite interesting until about 10 minutes before the end. We had to go to Kew Gardens to see a scientist considering the problems for coffee growing due to climate change. He suggested that coffee would have to be grown further up the mountains but there would be problems when they cannot go higher still. My suggestion is, if climate change be true, it could be grown in more northerly regions. Home grown coffee could be quite exciting. However I wondered if it is the same scientist who was working on new black currant varieties for Ribena. I remember reading some years ago that new varieties were being developed that didn’t need a frost to trigger flowering the following summer. Huge problems were predicted due to climate change. All that science and effort wasted.
In all the interglacials, and the glacials, too, the climate changed – sometimes bigly. Both our Anthropocene and the Eemian – the previous interglacial (which was warmer than the current one) experienced climate change, throughout. Are we really worried about coffee being grown, temporarily, at higher altitudes?
In the UK we seem to have a far more effective punishment for these people – Its called asylum, social housing and housing benefit.
It must be effective because we seem to use it so much.
Lucy,
I do not think this claim is accurate and displays the common confusion that somehow the EU is the same as the European Court of Human Rights. The latter, as a distinctly separate outfit of which the UK was a founding member, has its own Convention which bans the death penalty. That’s nothing to do with the EU.
If the names were not released this must mean that Cliff Richard was not directly, involved this time. However they should certainly search the cd collection of the charged men in case there is a Cliff cd there which may well have influenced them!
Maybe in the next charter review the BBC could also replace the DPP. However even if they did, we would probably scarcely notice any difference in the level of “justice”
I know that many – if not all the people charges were arrested in my idyllic and vibrant part of EAst Londonistan . I feel “ reporting restrictions “ coming on because of the kid or some twisted snowflake thinkIng .
Apparently they are Eastern Europeans peasants who may be Romany types – these are tragically underrepresented in Al beeb but over represented in Prison and benefits claims
FE2 – In the last few decades, under the complacent liberal governance both main parties seem to have signed up to – I see it as nothing more than slow motion suicide of our culture.
The frog boiling expression sums it up perfectly the majority of the population seem to be permanently glued to their sofas watching the footy and Love Island whilst the pillars freedoms that they all take for so much granted are slowly being pulled away – one by one.
Oak ,
How true . I’m glad people have got a really good state education so that they can think for themselves – or perhaps they can’t
Educating people above their social station was always mistake but at least it has been remedied by a dusfunctional education system where every one gets grade A ..
If you read my conment literally you might not notice the dryness…
Oak
said the same to my wife yesterday – the ones who should be bothered are too self absorbed to notice how the country is being devalued.
My prediction if things continue is we will be the India of the past(full of history no body cares about except tourists, poor, low tech, impoverished, lowly educated,owned by others, with impotent masters who are slaves to the East ) and India and the others will be the Great Britain of the past. Trump will be right and we will be a shit hole..
I am almost surprised that Al beeb has bothered to mention it at all. Certainly no need to rent a helicopter at our expense.
On another matter, I had been been wrestling with the question of whether our current Prime Minister is simply terminally incompetent- at a depth which has never previously been plumbed, even by Lord North. Or alternatively, is she blessed with that type sly political cunning which Machiavelli would have applauded ?
The answer has been provided by the picture of a smirking Oliver Robbins sitting next to poor young Raab during his humiliation yesterday in front of that parliamentary committee. In one swift broadside she has destroyed young Raab’s credibility as a negotiator and dealt with his feeble threat of no-deal, “no cash”.
Of course Robbins is smirking because his infamous White Paper has already put flesh on the bones of the abject surrender treaty which will be agreed in the near future.
Gunner
Please refer to mr Robbins by his new title baron Robins of Brussels – it is unbelievable that a strong and stable outgoing conservative PM would be in such a mess with 3 months of negotiation to go – unless it’s a never ending extension of a50
Andy Adonis got 9 votes for his attempt to get peers to sit for longer to prevent Brexit . Bet they get their £305 a day even when not sitting asleep
I think he may prefer Baron “Olly ” of Brussels, as per his name plate yesterday. Much more ‘man of the people” is our Olly, and not a hint of Oliver Cromwell.
I suspect that with some patience on our part together with the usual obdurance from Brussels and Strasbourg and parts of the community of Twenty-eight minus One, we might actually get out and clear away at the end of next March.
Remainers in Parliament don’t like the Chequers Proposal. Firm Brexiteers in Parliament, fearing a BRINO or strong residuary powers residing with the EU, don’t like the Chequers Proposal. The EU’s negotiator doesn’t like the Chequers Proposal.
Many of the 17.4m Leave voters don’t like the Chequers Proposal.
Many of the lesser number who voted Remain don’t like the Chequers Proposal. Some of those may now be more on the side of democracy and/or Leave voters.
It could be an interesting end to the summer and start to autumn. Theresa May will no doubt be ‘getting it in the neck’ from various directions, in her own Party (no change there), from Labour & the LimpDims (no change there) and on Brexit from parts of the media and their superannuated political has-beens that they disinter from time to time. No change there, either.
All the PM has to do is put up the cowl of her habit and wave her light sabre until well into the New Year. She then switches off the light sabre, bows her head and lets the Darth Vader of the EUevil Empire cut her down.
The Brexiteers, who are rebels to a man and woman (other genders are available) will then rally to the Millennium Falcon and head off for a bright future away from the EUevil Empire. A new leader for the Conservative Party is chosen and some people fight for the Death Star of another General Election. If they get it, the rebel force around the Millennium Falcon may well come out and win the day for the Conservatives or a Coalition. But the Death Star GE will be fought between a Party (or more) that offers democracy and freedom from the EU and others that do not. The People will Decide or not.
Either way it will be too late. The UK will have left ‘without a deal’, they will have escaped the clutches of the Four Freedoms and the EUevil Empire and it will be a brave Party that takes the risk of offering ‘A return to Slavery in the EUevil Empire’ to voters in their Manifesto at that Death Star GE.
Credits roll.
Should the EUevil Empire ever try to expand and take over the UK again, there will hopefully be rebels and their heirs and successors to carry on the fight.
is it Oily Robbins because it should be – who was the other pair May surrounded herself with who cocked up the election? She is a Master (Mistress?) of knob selection.. I had high hopes for Raab
Dover,
Another example of the now widespread policy of reporting only what the elite who run the MSM want the plebs to hear and know about. I noted yesterday that the Times had stopped taking comments on any story even tangentially associated with Islam or migrants. That policy has continued this morning. There has been no explanation as to why this policy has suddenly been adopted by the Times.
In the US the situation is just as bad. Only FOX has been reporting the scandal of the FBI, CIA, DoJ conspiring to stop Trump being elected and then to get him impeached. The rest of the MSM are doing their best to keep Americans in the dark about what is certainly the greatest political scandal ever to engulf America.
The internet is being cleared of anti Globalist and right wing sites. Soon we will have a monoculture of news and current affairs right across the West which is run by the Global elite to keep the rest of us in ignorance about the demise of our countries, culture and civilisation.
Only a Trump second term which allows him to thoroughly drain the swamp has any chance of even halting, let alone reversing ,the Globalist elite.
But it has been the case for many years that the mention of trigger words such as Islam or Muslim will block the comment whilst the sensitive souls at The Times check it.
Scribble,
Yesthe Times has been tightly moderated as they put it but most correspondents soon learnt how to get their point across without using the sensitive words. I found that the majority, in many cases the vast majority, of those who commented were firmly opposed to migration and to Islam and that despite the moderators best efforts. So now it seems that the Times has decided that it does nt want any comments at all on these issues. Just another example of liberals realising that the people are not with them so they shut the people down, or at leadt try to.
“Protesting is one of the great traditions of the Tour de France”
So says our Sally Nugent, BBC sports presenter and, apparently, exponent of a surprising degree vague complacency.
French farmers pulled hay bails onto the road in an attempt to disrupt the race, the gensdarmes douced the area with tear gas and unfortunately the wind changed…. and you can guess the rest of the story….
So why does a BBC journo forget rule number one of journalism here… who what why etc?
Let’s not single out our Sally, BBC on line also seems oddly cagey as to the reason for this outbreak of Gallic agricultural aggro.
“As the racers were riding from Carcassonne to Bagneres-de-Luchon, protesters upset over reduced EU funding threw bales of hay into the road”
Was that line of news simply judged by the BBC to be irrelevant to the cycling story or was it dropped because it shines a light on where our Brexit ‘EU divorce’ cash might be headed?
Glad to see The Times highlighting the abuse scandal with the Rowntree organisation complicit in sponsoring organisations that threaten Sara Champion for speaking up about the fact that there is a racial problem. As expected, none of it on BBC, even in the paper review, despite it being on the front page.
Another MSM conspiracy to censure news.
Of course had it been Jewish men doing the raping, Corbyn et al would be calling for the death sentence for them no doubt:
Well done to The Times:
“There has been no greater exponent of corporate responsibility than Joseph Rowntree. The son of a Quaker family from York, he brought the strict values of religion to the conduct of his business as a manufacturer of confectionary. It was part of the Rowntree ethos that a company should be part of the community and should serve the greater good.
That ethos has carried over into the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, which, in social policy and housing, has done good work. That makes it all the more disappointing that it should be implicated in the saga in which the Labour MP for Rotherham, Sarah Champion, has received death threats for condemning the sexual abuse of girls by Pakistani men. JUST Yorkshire, which is largely funded by the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust, focuses on racial justice in Rotherham. Nadeem Murtuja, its leader, has accused Ms Champion of “inciting and inviting hatred against minorities” for highlighting the ethnic heritage of the men involved in the 2014 Rotherham sex-grooming scandal. As a result Ms Champion’s police protection has had to be increased.
With the murder of the MP Jo Cox still fresh in the memory, it is appalling that a local representative should need police protection. There are suggestions that at least some of the motive for discrediting Ms Champion is the desire to deselect her as the town’s MP.
Over a period of 16 years at least 1,400 girls, most of them white, were targeted for sexual exploitation in Rotherham by organised groups of men, almost all of them of Pakistani origin. When Ms Champion told The Sun that Britain “has a problem with British Pakistani men raping and exploiting white girls” she was doing no more than stating a truth. And unless the truth is confronted, the danger is that abuse will be repeated. She is, as her name suggests, a champion of her constituents.”
St Justin of Webb interviewing Maria Miller this morning about her new plan to combat workplace harassment – just for the record I detest both.
At one point he said words to the effect that the plans might upset many Tory company owners who would be made responsible for harassment in their companies. WTF has it got to do with only Tory company owners, or does St Justin think only Tories are capable of sexual harassment?
Peter does that mean you hate both st Justin and the lovely Maria but like workplace harassment or is it a combination ( no need to reply – the summer tv coverage is getting to me)

To reduce road accidents in London: Get people to obey traffic rules.

For pedestrians: Put your phones out of your mushes when crossing or walking on the side of the road. Avoid chit chats in the middle of the road. Take care when using your intercontinental ballistic baby carts as well.

“That sound you just heard was gunfire on the street…”
Was that the sound of the BBC looking in detail at gang crime in London communities? No, of course not. BBC London tv news decide to investigate our capital’s gang crime by…. sending reporters to New York.
Well, why wouldn’t you, if you have the BBC budget?
Our friendly NYPD Blues explain how they have set up sound monitors in gang areas that will respond to the echo of gunfire and send the alarm direct to officers’ phones – so they get the tip off faster than waiting for the 911 calls to come into Fort Apache, the Bronx. What if they use knives?
Don’t think that idea will translate to this side of the pond. I seem to recall ‘the community’ in Birmingham getting up in arms about CCTV in ‘certain areas’ and forcing the police to backdown and to remove those racialist cameras. Gunfire detectors on lamp posts? Don’t think so.
Ah, this next idea is far more likely to catch our Little-Man-Khan’s attention – extra funding for…. well, almost anything, but let’s go with community police officers.
Our intrepid BBC reporter tells us there are differences between The Big Apple and the Great Wen. Although she doesn’t go into too much detail about exactly how Gotham differs from Londonistan. Except to say New York is getting safer and London is getting more dangerous. In a way this is a positive story – for New York. So the travel expenses were not all wasted. Perhaps she should come home and do a piece on London?

Btw those slaves are treated appallingly throughout the muslim middle east, where they are abused, beaten, raped and occasionally murdered. After all, they’re infidels, kaffirs, second class sub-humans at best.
“The Philippines had earlier this year temporarily banned its citizens from travelling to work in Kuwait, following an incident in which a domestic worker was killed and her body found in a freezer.”
And if you think Kuwait introduced the new laws for humanitarian reasons, think again, they were obliged to: “The ban was lifted in May after Kuwait and the Philippines signed an agreement on workers’ rights.”
Why is everything about that death cult rotten to the core?

The thing I don’t twig is that Muslim women cover their hair to help male Muslims contain their arousal? Yet every Muslim woman I see is made up to the enth degree in cosmetic application! Even the burka women have half a dozen false eyelashes on the eyes. Does this not strike you as somewhat feigned? Is this the “spirituality ” their religion is so ingrained with ?

I remember that video that did the rounds, not sure where to find it now. In one of the Gulf states or Saudi itself, a low-paid foreigner is cleaning the windows on the 7th floor of a tower black whilst the home owner watches and films. The cleaner slips and grabs on desperately to prevent the fall. The wealthy Muslim woman watching and filming does nothing to help, just carries on filming. The low paid worker falls. Luckily, an awning lower down the building breaks the worker’s fall. But the incident shows what heartless, evil people they are out there. Then of course there was the fire in the girls school in Saudi, several girls died because no one would rescue them when they were not wearing hijabs. Apparently this tragedy led to protests in Saudi, a rare thing. Cruel, heartless people…and they haven’t taken in any refugees from Syria or Iraq.

Reminds me of Obama hounding Tea Party voters over their IRS statements.
Like the witch-hunts over Tommy Robinson and Vote Leave types, the weaponised judiciary have been mobilised to serve the Lefts creepy agenda.
They use the courts because they can`t get any voters to democratically agree to what they want to do.
Paisley is hardly Jacqui Smith, Gerry Adams, Martin McGuinness or Keith Vaz is he?…so fair game to the Ulster hating, Christian baiting left.
People like Maria Miller got away with far worse, that Pritti Patel gets to lose her job, when Vaz and Bercow keep theirs?…well, you can see there`s no justice.

A very serious article about wanting young girls to cover up and stop showing so much ‘flesh’ ! here’s the rub……. she practically suggests we all start wearing the burka.
In her own words……….
“Suddenly, now, these over-exposed female bodies in public spaces, the absence of any feminine propriety, is making me want to take shelter in an opaque, black shroud. I want to secrete myself in a safe place, to own an d protect my precious feminine self” ………. (er, no worries on that score Yasmin, you are well past the age of being ogled with lust, if you ever were).
And then, on the subject of Love Island – and we all have views on that, but this is a beaut …………….
“Programmes such as Love Island subvert us from that journey. Teen girls now think that to get the chance to be a Barbie in a tiny bikini on that damned island, weeping for a muscular man, before jumping into bed with him (all filmed) is the best thing ever. You can see why a burka could be seen as a solution to this degradation. ……………..” ……… Um , did she never watch any of the Tarzan films, and who didn’t want to be Jane ?????
She couldn’t wait to leave Uganda in the 70’s to be ‘free’ in Great Britain, and yes she has her views, but I object to having to read them.

Since the brexit vote we have a “Tory” Government that appears to have doubled down on “hate” crime (but only if it is committed by non Ropers).
We have a remainer in charge of brexit who has done her level best to destroy our relationship with the POTUS and more importantly turn our “negotiations” with the EU into exercise of craven supplication rather than a demonstration of taking back control and at the same time squandered the time she had to get us fit for leaving the EU
We have a couple of heads if DPP more interested in furthering a political agenda rather than justice.
We have a police force which apparently finds demonstrating solidarity with the gay community and “hate” crime more important than catching violent criminals.
And of course we have our armed services run down and with the heads of it more concerned with an equality agenda than an effective fighting force.
I think the globalist elite saw the brexit vote as “the Gypsies warning” that we have had enough of them and want change and therefore to protect their whole corrupt agenda they are throwing in everything they have in order to destroy the country, culture and freedoms that we hold dear.
No words can describe how I feel about these Quisling bastards.

Never met the man, don’t care about him to be honest, but why suddenly have they decided to post a pointless ‘article’ on their revolving BIG story page?

Unusually for the BBC criticism on the BBC1 news for the NHS re the 1980s contaminated blood products scandal, as it was described by Clive Myrie. The lady who had lost her husband 2004 I think they said, explained that her husband had been fit and healthy. I am sorry, he wasn’t, he was a haemaphilliac, that was why he had treatment. To be fair there may have been alternative treatments that were as good without the risk but then they could have told us that (perhaps someone here could advise) but presumably without treatment he was at risk of causing a bleed and dying. If I have been unfair, I am sorry. But I presume that the BBC are campaigning for large payments to the families from the magic money tree that is the NHS which means us taxpayers.

It took some time for hepatitis C and HIV diagnosis to confirmed. It was apparent that there was a problem, but it was not known exactly what and no tests were available.
At this stage it was a deliberate decision to give the scarce and expensive recombinant factor VII (with no risk of infection) to newly diagnosed children. Those who had already been given (high risk, pooled from American paid donors) transfusions continued to be given these and some were infected at this time, when it was known there was a problem. There is a current enquiry into who knew what when.

They cannot resist can they? I was watching Greg Wallace inside the coffee factory. It was quite interesting until about 10 minutes before the end. We had to go to Kew Gardens to see a scientist considering the problems for coffee growing due to climate change. He suggested that coffee would have to be grown further up the mountains but there would be problems when they cannot go higher still. My suggestion is, if climate change be true, it could be grown in more northerly regions. Home grown coffee could be quite exciting. However I wondered if it is the same scientist who was working on new black currant varieties for Ribena. I remember reading some years ago that new varieties were being developed that didn’t need a frost to trigger flowering the following summer. Huge problems were predicted due to climate change. All that science and effort wasted.

In all the interglacials, and the glacials, too, the climate changed – sometimes bigly. Both our Anthropocene and the Eemian – the previous interglacial (which was warmer than the current one) experienced climate change, throughout.

I do not think this claim is accurate and displays the common confusion that somehow the EU is the same as the European Court of Human Rights.

I am almost surprised that Al beeb has bothered to mention it at all. Certainly no need to rent a helicopter at our expense.
On another matter, I had been been wrestling with the question of whether our current Prime Minister is simply terminally incompetent- at a depth which has never previously been plumbed, even by Lord North. Or alternatively, is she blessed with that type sly political cunning which Machiavelli would have applauded ?
The answer has been provided by the picture of a smirking Oliver Robbins sitting next to poor young Raab during his humiliation yesterday in front of that parliamentary committee. In one swift broadside she has destroyed young Raab’s credibility as a negotiator and dealt with his feeble threat of no-deal, “no cash”.
Of course Robbins is smirking because his infamous White Paper has already put flesh on the bones of the abject surrender treaty which will be agreed in the near future.

Where are we on Brexit?
I suspect that with some patience on our part together with the usual obdurance from Brussels and Strasbourg and parts of the community of Twenty-eight minus One, we might actually get out and clear away at the end of next March.
Remainers in Parliament don’t like the Chequers Proposal. Firm Brexiteers in Parliament, fearing a BRINO or strong residuary powers residing with the EU, don’t like the Chequers Proposal. The EU’s negotiator doesn’t like the Chequers Proposal.
Many of the 17.4m Leave voters don’t like the Chequers Proposal.
Many of the lesser number who voted Remain don’t like the Chequers Proposal. Some of those may now be more on the side of democracy and/or Leave voters.
It could be an interesting end to the summer and start to autumn. Theresa May will no doubt be ‘getting it in the neck’ from various directions, in her own Party (no change there), from Labour & the LimpDims (no change there) and on Brexit from parts of the media and their superannuated political has-beens that they disinter from time to time. No change there, either.
All the PM has to do is put up the cowl of her habit and wave her light sabre until well into the New Year. She then switches off the light sabre, bows her head and lets the Darth Vader of the EUevil Empire cut her down.
The Brexiteers, who are rebels to a man and woman (other genders are available) will then rally to the Millennium Falcon and head off for a bright future away from the EUevil Empire. A new leader for the Conservative Party is chosen and some people fight for the Death Star of another General Election. If they get it, the rebel force around the Millennium Falcon may well come out and win the day for the Conservatives or a Coalition. But the Death Star GE will be fought between a Party (or more) that offers democracy and freedom from the EU and others that do not. The People will Decide or not.
Either way it will be too late. The UK will have left ‘without a deal’, they will have escaped the clutches of the Four Freedoms and the EUevil Empire and it will be a brave Party that takes the risk of offering ‘A return to Slavery in the EUevil Empire’ to voters in their Manifesto at that Death Star GE.
Credits roll.
Should the EUevil Empire ever try to expand and take over the UK again, there will hopefully be rebels and their heirs and successors to carry on the fight.
Life imitates art. 😉

Dover,
Another example of the now widespread policy of reporting only what the elite who run the MSM want the plebs to hear and know about. I noted yesterday that the Times had stopped taking comments on any story even tangentially associated with Islam or migrants. That policy has continued this morning. There has been no explanation as to why this policy has suddenly been adopted by the Times.
In the US the situation is just as bad. Only FOX has been reporting the scandal of the FBI, CIA, DoJ conspiring to stop Trump being elected and then to get him impeached. The rest of the MSM are doing their best to keep Americans in the dark about what is certainly the greatest political scandal ever to engulf America.
The internet is being cleared of anti Globalist and right wing sites. Soon we will have a monoculture of news and current affairs right across the West which is run by the Global elite to keep the rest of us in ignorance about the demise of our countries, culture and civilisation.
Only a Trump second term which allows him to thoroughly drain the swamp has any chance of even halting, let alone reversing ,the Globalist elite.

yes it has stopped allowing comments.
But it has been the case for many years that the mention of trigger words such as Islam or Muslim will block the comment whilst the sensitive souls at The Times check it.

Scribble,
Yesthe Times has been tightly moderated as they put it but most correspondents soon learnt how to get their point across without using the sensitive words. I found that the majority, in many cases the vast majority, of those who commented were firmly opposed to migration and to Islam and that despite the moderators best efforts. So now it seems that the Times has decided that it does nt want any comments at all on these issues. Just another example of liberals realising that the people are not with them so they shut the people down, or at leadt try to.

In essence, the truth is being censored.
Perhaps at court today, their names will be released? This always happens in terrorism hearings.

“Protesting is one of the great traditions of the Tour de France”
So says our Sally Nugent, BBC sports presenter and, apparently, exponent of a surprising degree vague complacency.
French farmers pulled hay bails onto the road in an attempt to disrupt the race, the gensdarmes douced the area with tear gas and unfortunately the wind changed…. and you can guess the rest of the story….
So why does a BBC journo forget rule number one of journalism here… who what why etc?
Let’s not single out our Sally, BBC on line also seems oddly cagey as to the reason for this outbreak of Gallic agricultural aggro.

Non-BBC sources supply the information… and it’s exactly what we might have guessed.

“As the racers were riding from Carcassonne to Bagneres-de-Luchon, protesters upset over reduced EU funding threw bales of hay into the road”
Was that line of news simply judged by the BBC to be irrelevant to the cycling story or was it dropped because it shines a light on where our Brexit ‘EU divorce’ cash might be headed?

Glad to see The Times highlighting the abuse scandal with the Rowntree organisation complicit in sponsoring organisations that threaten Sara Champion for speaking up about the fact that there is a racial problem. As expected, none of it on BBC, even in the paper review, despite it being on the front page.
Another MSM conspiracy to censure news.
Of course had it been Jewish men doing the raping, Corbyn et al would be calling for the death sentence for them no doubt:
Well done to The Times:
“There has been no greater exponent of corporate responsibility than Joseph Rowntree. The son of a Quaker family from York, he brought the strict values of religion to the conduct of his business as a manufacturer of confectionary. It was part of the Rowntree ethos that a company should be part of the community and should serve the greater good.
That ethos has carried over into the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, which, in social policy and housing, has done good work. That makes it all the more disappointing that it should be implicated in the saga in which the Labour MP for Rotherham, Sarah Champion, has received death threats for condemning the sexual abuse of girls by Pakistani men. JUST Yorkshire, which is largely funded by the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust, focuses on racial justice in Rotherham. Nadeem Murtuja, its leader, has accused Ms Champion of “inciting and inviting hatred against minorities” for highlighting the ethnic heritage of the men involved in the 2014 Rotherham sex-grooming scandal. As a result Ms Champion’s police protection has had to be increased.
With the murder of the MP Jo Cox still fresh in the memory, it is appalling that a local representative should need police protection. There are suggestions that at least some of the motive for discrediting Ms Champion is the desire to deselect her as the town’s MP.
Over a period of 16 years at least 1,400 girls, most of them white, were targeted for sexual exploitation in Rotherham by organised groups of men, almost all of them of Pakistani origin. When Ms Champion told The Sun that Britain “has a problem with British Pakistani men raping and exploiting white girls” she was doing no more than stating a truth. And unless the truth is confronted, the danger is that abuse will be repeated. She is, as her name suggests, a champion of her constituents.”

St Justin of Webb interviewing Maria Miller this morning about her new plan to combat workplace harassment – just for the record I detest both.
At one point he said words to the effect that the plans might upset many Tory company owners who would be made responsible for harassment in their companies. WTF has it got to do with only Tory company owners, or does St Justin think only Tories are capable of sexual harassment?

Peter does that mean you hate both st Justin and the lovely Maria but like workplace harassment or is it a combination ( no need to reply – the summer tv coverage is getting to me)

No, just that if you are a business owner, you would have to be certifiable to vote Labour or Limp Dem.

Is Maria going to take her clothes off to help combat workplace harrasment ?
