    Over the past two years, TUI’s owners Dr Angela Misra, 34, and her husband Usman Raja, 42, received more than £2.5 million from the DDP budget.

    In addition to allegations of ‘bullying and harassment’, former staff complained that their salaries were comparatively poor compared to the income enjoyed by the company’s husband and wife bosses who last year bought a five-bedroom home in Surrey for £1.2 million.

    The BBC gleefully tells me that a new law has been passed that if ‘Boris’ doesn’t do what he is told will have him put in prison.

    So I had a look at the parliamentary website and I find that no new law has been passed. There is a bill still with the House of Lords, waiting for them to do things to on Monday though.

    Then I had a look at the bill. Although it provides a form of letter it isn’t very clear about actually sending it or how it is sent and certainly doesn’t set any penalties for not sending it. Surprisingly it assumes that the EU will agree to extending Article 50 to January, how do they know that that will happen?

    Parliament in recent years has been very fond of passing ‘Canute’ legislation, i.e. ‘the air will be clean by 2019’ etc. and governments of all colours have been very good at not complying. “Sorry, I wrote the letter but my Jack Russell ate it”.

    My point though is that what the BBC told me isn’t true. What a surprise.

    ‘It’s my personal policy’ seems akin to ‘views my own’. Not in a good way.

    I wake up this morning really sad. Yet again another day when we only hear one side of the story. The pro brexit arguments are never ever ever presented. Another day goes by reported as if there is now no-one who supports what we voted for. Crashing out this cliff edge that .. When they could be reporting on everything we have to gain. Sad that all this has even worn me down so I just want to turn the news off and forget it all live in a bubble at home and in the garden and concede defeat. This of course is what they want and has no doubt already happened to many. If only we could persuade fox news or someone similar to set up in the UK to present the other point of view on mainstream tv. Sad that whenever I go abroad particularly to places like Canada, I feel more at home and amongst my own kind than I do in what used to be my country. It always seems like I am entering a foreign land when I come home from holiday let alone turn on the TV.

      Don’t be down, this just may take longer than you think! However I would say that in 2009 I moved out to Oz for 5 years to work, whilst the construction industry recovered from the GFC. Arriving back in 2014 I could see a sea change. An enormous influx of foreign nationals (mostly Eastern European) into construction, driven by the industry wanting to lower costs and EU nationals responding. I have nothing against Eastern Europeans coming here and working. Indeed the ones I dealt with on my return were polite and hard working individuals, albeit there was a bit of a language barrier!

      However this quickly demonstrated to me that the Governments policy on immigration had failed and of course being an EU member entitles the free movement of individuals.

      The impact of the Eastern Europeans (again no fault attributed to them, I would have done the same) is that it suppressed wages and also meant a lot of money going out of the UK to other Countries. It was a double, even treble whammy. Those coming here to work need support services etc, so overall become a burden, not a benefit to UK plc.

      This practice example is why I voted Brexit, not to prevent EU nationals from living and working in the UK, but the UK having some degree of control.

      However, if we don’t leave the EU, we will be back into a further cycle of the UK welfare state under significant strain due to lack of income to the UK Government.

      Unfortunately if this happens, I am off, back to Oz where there are clearer controls in place and where they are not a vassal state to a regime that has got power ( and financially) hungry.

      We will then have to go through another decade before the snowflakes of today realise the mistake they are making.

    As the voluntary moderator of this site and a devout hard core brexiteer I completely empathise with your comment . You are far from alone . So far there has only been muted responses to what the traitors are doing .

    I’ve stopped taking the BBC – which makes my position here a bit difficult . I was thinking of giving up on the site because some were objecting to my comments – which I carefully crafted not to viewed as criminal offences .

    Brexit was never going to be easy . Even the referendum campaign was just wall to wall media propaganda against leave – hard to remember now .

    Perhaps we won’t succeed in getting out on this occasion . Maybe we have to wait until the fixed term general election to really say how we feel.

    Notice I say ‘we’ – I don’t often do that because it’s presumptuous interpret how groups think . But for brexit I’m on safe ground – especially reading all the comments here every day as just a snapshot .

    The current attempt is not over –

    Rudd has finally gone ( see has a 700 majority )
    The Brexit Party is offering an election pact .
    Parliament is soon to be closed
    And Boris might have something for us after 2 days with The Queen

    Obviously none of this may come to anything and the traitors may manage to extend A50 again with a view to finally withdrawing it – their ultimate aim .

    But to repeat – it may be a longer fight – and N.Farage has been at it since 1979. We ll get out – and then move on to other monsters – such as the BBC .

    I’d appreciate a reply.

    Oh yes – I think TR might be due out soon – if the state doesn’t kill him .

      I suspect most of us here only live on scraps from the BBC now. The TV news has now been taken off our viewing schedule. Radio 4 went long ago. My main BBC contact is their tweets, as it’s short and sweet. Plus you can tell them what you think of them – it lowers the blood pressure a little.

      In some ways, though, the fight has moved on from just the BBC. It’s widely regarded as impartial in the same way as John Bercow is so regarded these days. It’s the rest of the media which is proving equally venal and that’s reflected in many of the posts.

      In respect to TR…unless he “has taken his own life” first! (Note: I certainly would not wish this on anyone, just in case I get done for something that is not PC!).

      I am waiting with baited breathe for Plan B. As stated on a previous post, what happened last week would not have been wholly unexpected, it was what the traitors were indeed lining up! The fact the Bill subsequently went through the Lords unopposed would suggest there is another story…

      I am not sure on the protocol and closing of Parliament as part of the proroguing process, but it would be great if Boris stood up and said firstly to the opposition, this is your last chance to have a democratic election. This will no doubt be voted down. He can then go on and say thank you very much, meet you back here later in October and you have now had TWO chances to go to the Country.

      Finally, he could sign off by saying something like “Oh in passing, we have examined the Benn anti No Brexit Deal Act and have noted the following fatal flaws, which make it unenforceable…”, and then rattle off some key elements of the legislation that will not work.

      Then just close his book, say goodbye and walk out.

      That would be pretty impressive and it would send all the remain biased MPs, media and establishment into another foaming frenzy.

      Of course, with Parliament prorogued, it does give him a clear run at the EU, with No Deal Brexit back on the table.

      Here’s hoping!

    Hi fed. I have been following your posts for a long time and you always have wise words to say. I agree re Rudd etc but of course her departure is presented as a ‘collapse’ of the conservatives and another example as to how “no-one now wants to leave”. I can see them all out on the streets cheering if Boris gets arrested. The forces against the 17.4 million are just too well set into the establishment. I hope I am wrong and you are right . Surely there would be a market for a less biased news channel .. Lots of viewers who would bring advertising revenue to such a channel. A missed money making opportunity for someone .. Or is the establishmant stopping them from trying. Well done and thank you for the hard work you put in to this website.

      Thanks for your reply -notice – for what it’s worth – that you have 8 ‘likes ‘ by 0825 London time so people are noticing what you say .

      Sometimes people turn up here – dump their view – and clear off without engaging in exchange of views . I guess that’s ok . It’s not trolling but a degree of ‘discussion ‘ for those with time -is useful .

      I wrote a long piece here last night about BoJo being locked up as PM – together with the AG. I took it down as some people claim my views are extreme particularly as a voluntary moderator. So I am censoring myself on this site because of it . Ive been accused of being drunk , ill and extreme . It reminded me of inferior internet sites like twitter – which I only monitor .

        There’s something about the internet that makes people talk to each other in a way they wouldn’t face to face. Probably because it’s impersonal. We don’t know who we’re speaking to, even those we agree with. Recognising that, it’s best not to take snipes personally.

        I try my best not to be rude, but by God it hasn’t been easy this week and I’m sure I’ve snapped on occasion when I shouldn’t. I prefer to mildly take the piss. Viciously if I think they deserve it and I can think of a good one. I’ve veered from optimism to despondency time and again. I suspect this week, when Parliament is prorogued, may give a clearer indication if Boris has an ace up his sleeve once MPs are too late to do anything about it.

      Yes the liberal Globalist establishment is well entrenched and holds most of the levers of power and fighting hard and dirty to maintain their position. History tells us that to remove an establishment elite a revolution is often required. We are experiencing the first tentative steps down that road to a very British revolution. The big question is does Boris and his key cabinet colleagues have the guts to see it through? I think there is no doubt that if Boris can force a GE and he can convince Nigel that he is worthy of support, then a pro Brexit Parliament will be voted in by the people. The establishment know this and will do anything and everything to prevent it. But each Westminster game they play, each dirty trick they pull, each time they manipulate the law or parliamentary procedure , more and more people will vote for a Tory/ TBP alliance, if and its a big if, they are given the chance. Remoaners are playing with fire and will hopefully get burnt to a cinder.

          If there is no Tory/Brexit alliance, there will be a Labour dominated Labour/Lib Dem/SNP/Green soppy lefty alliance.

          Half listening to Radio 4, as I often do because him indoors can’t cope with silence in the background, over the last few days I have heard several instances of Corbyn being pushed as the leader of an interim emergency government.

          Is it possible for the slumbering electorate to be roused into taking on board how disastrous for the Country would be either scenario?

          Is it not possible to introduce a law banning people from any kind of public office if they have shown themselves to have treacherous tendencies, if they would not pass a test to work for M15 or M16? Maybe i’m super naive and the Secret Services are already full of traitors.

          I’m tending to avoid the news altogether and take refuge in drink.
          But this is the opposite of what is required. Why is it mostly the supporters of soppy liberalism: the anti brexit, no borders, immigrants welcome, heavy state, that are willing to take to the streets?

            Take heart. Eventually , and probably within the next year, there will be a GE . I think that sufficient people will have been roused to ensure that a Brexit Government is elected. Both the Tories and Labour MPs have shown themselves to be mainly made up of Globalist liberal lefties and anti Brexiteers. If Nigel can rouse the labour voters and Boris can secure the traditional Tory voter, then a new political alignment will take over from the old left v right. It will be national v global and national will win. Of course Boris will have to be very clear that he is unambiguously a nationalist , that he really does believe in Brexit etc. It may be too much for him but if he can do this the prize is waiting for him.
            The Globalist are slowly but surely being forced to show their true colours as anti British and anti democrats. For those who were in the Tories it is all about big banks and corporations. For those in Labour and the Lib Dem’s it’s all about transferring wealth from the British people to the third world. They care I have more about third worlders than they do about their constituents and everyone is beginning to realise this.

    I was a bit sceptical about Boris at first but he is sticking to his guns (so far)
    The best thing is that the Conservative party is on its way to becoming the Conservative Party again.
    All these wet lefties who should be in the libdems, greens or labour but joined The Tories as their only way to get into government are either getting booted out or spitting out their dummies and leaving.
    There are still some to go but the crap is being gotten rid (Rudd) of.

    The media think this is a bad thing and are overjoyed thinking the Tories are falling apart.
    That feeling will last until the next election when a proper Tory party will be elected, perhaps with some TBP partners.

    The lefty tumour is being cut out of the Tory party.
    Boris, you’re doing great.
    Don’t take any notice of the media, they are wrong.

    Strategy used by Civil Service / Remainer ministers 2016 – 2019:

    > join EU joint defence schemes
    > con MPs by saying ‘it’s for industry’
    > don’t tell them we’d be a rule-taker
    > keep command link as a surprise for later
    > make them think UK can ‘pick + choose’

    > don’t name the others, just mention wider obligations
    and maximum commitment under EU law
    > that way we’re committed to join the others anyway
    > backstop means N. Ireland is cut from the UK if we wriggle out
    > downplay defence part of deal

    > disguise EU policy under ‘UK strategy papers’
    > find excuses for why UK industry loses to EU rules
    > get industry on board, say they’re pushing for it
    > in the deal, mention just 3 EU joint defence schemes
    > just ones we said were ‘for industry’

    > tell people it’s ‘continuity’ and ‘no change’

    2019-2021:

    > If exit deal fails, just put all this in a trade deal
    > Say ‘without defence the trade deal fails’

    On R4, BH has patched together a string of anti-Boris one – liners, to show how badly he’s losing, to kick off the programme. The first guest is the oh so predictable John Pienaar, member of the small clique of beeb ‘news’ ‘commentators’, who always strikes me as never having an original or new thing to say.
    A little incestuous beeb ‘news’ group, forms again, this time around Paddy O’Connell, yet another predictable leftie, whose programme is usually sufficiently dull to allow for a little more Sunday sleep. In fact, the highlight of his programme is usually some odd sound, eg cowbells, mostly of a nature which will help you to drift off..

    The tide is about to turn?

    Johnson is starting to reveal his next steps and with parliament soon to be prorogued would they now have enough time to counter him?

    I read an interesting comment on the Express comment section yesterday:

    ‘One other thing, by the way, Cummings is a very big fan of game theory. Its a standard proposition in many formulations (also miIitary tactics) that you have to fIush out your opponents strategy. I think Benn & them planned this Bill to happen about a week/10 days before 31 October. Boris would then be absolutely cornered & have to comply. Thats why they prorogued – to force Grleve et al to show their hand. Cummings ALSO gets the remainer press very well. All of this stuff about him saying this or that is deliberate for the same reasons – remainers and their press and Iawyer proxies go cIucking around in print and social media about their next pIans and Cummings is watching it all. Note how not ONE Cabinet Minister has so much as whispered a briefing. All of this, like I say, has been perfectly sequenced.’

    It seems that the media have put their foot in it. Running around declaring Johnson the loser while bigging up the remainers has given away their game plan allowing Johnson and Cummings to plan quietly in the background. The BBC are responsible for this as well.

    The fools the lot of them!

    Now sources are coming out that Johnson will challenge any law against him. It is not over yet!

          Such prosecutions must have the consent of the AG – appointed by BoJo – which could mean the AG as a cell mate for the PM.

    Switch on the radio and…it’s ‘Get Boris’ time…yet again….this time it’s Paddy O’Connell orchestrating the hate.

    Paddy put Boris in the ‘Psychiatrist’s Chair’ in order to find out what is wrong with him…because of course something is….on comes that renowned psychiatrist Sonia Purnell to explore the dark corners of Boris’ mind…oh hang on..she’s not a renowned psychiatrist she’s one of those mad-cat-women-types who once worked with Boris many, many moons ago, and absolutely hates him and everything he stands for…not least Brexit.

    Naturally she didn’t disappoint and provided us with some entertainingly bitter denouncements of Boris and his family…all lapped up as infallible truths by our boy Paddy.

    Then on comes a friend and colleague of Boris who immediately questioned the qualifications of an embittered hack who once worked with Boris to analyse anyone’s mindset and he went on from there to put up a strong defence of Boris stating that he knew what the country wanted….ie to get Brexit done and dusted…which is pretty much true for the majority…both Leave and Remain voters…polls consistently show.

    Paddy, clearly not happy with the direction of travel here, snapped that he knew who had been PM before as the Boris friend laid out his case and named several previous PMs in what was a normal way of speaking. Paddy also wasn’t too happy with the idea Boris knew what the country wanted…Paddy himself had other ideas about what the country wanted as he immediately stated that he must ‘dispute that Boris knows what the country wants….’
    Paddy’s basis for this claim?….for some reason, guess it was a subject he had to lever in somehow, he then linked to the grandstanding Labour Party Sikh who denounced Boris as a racist on PMQs in front of everyone….is that what the country wants…Boris to apologise for being ‘racist’? Hmmmm…suggest most of the country would agree with Boris…not least other Muslims[see below]…curious this same Sikh never stood up in any other PMQs, or anywhere else, to denounce his own leader’s anti-Semitism….but then why would he? Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi is a man after Corbyn’s own heart and of course supports Palestinian causes whilst condemning Israel…he strongly supports a Palestinian charity, Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP), that backs terrorism against Israel and Jews. Odd how supportive of Muslim cuase she is but not so supportive of people of his own religion.

    Some background to MAP….

    https://www.ngo-monitor.org/reports/authors_of_anti_israel_letter_in_the_lancet_promote_antisemitic_video_by_white_supremacist_david_duke/

    http://standforpeace.org.uk/medical-aid-for-palestinans/

    So much for the moral grandstanding of Labour’s Sikh MP……Paddy might do well to remember Islam is not a race when he declares that the Sikh MP demanded Boris apologise for his ‘racist remarks’. What ‘racist remarks’?

    Curious all these people so outraged by Boris fail to say a word about Warsi’s comments on the veil….

    ‘“I have an issue with the veil because I don’t think it’s a British manifestation.

    “The veil was used in pre-Islamic days by well-to-do women who went to the market and didn’t want to hang out with the plebs. It was used in Saudi Arabia for the women who were considered to be the revered ones, and I presume if you were running through the desert it was good because you didn’t get sand in your face.

    “I just don’t know what its purpose is in terms of British Islam.”’

    So Warsi says the veil is not British…it has no purpose here…..how is that different, and indeed not much worse than what Boris said, from what he said?

    Here’s that other well known Islamophobe and racist Sadiq Khan on the veil…

    ‘ “When I was younger you didn’t see people in hijabs and niqabs, not even in Pakistan when I visited my family. In London we got on. People dressed the same. What you see now are people born and raised here who are choosing to wear the jilbab [a loose gown] or niqab.

    “There is a question to be asked about what is going on in those homes. What’s insidious is if people are starting to think it is appropriate to treat women differently or that it has been forced on them. What worries me is children being forced to adopt a lifestyle.”’

    So if he sees a woman in a veil he thinks there may be somehting ‘insidious’ going on in her household and family? Again…how is that different, if not worse, far worse, than what Boris said?

    You might expect the BBC to report what the Sikh MP said , and all the others similarly grandstanding their virtuous morality, but also to bring some perspective and not a little truth to the discussion. Instead they deliberately sensationalise and ramp up the claims of racism and continue to target and demonise Boris.

    Anyone from the old Soviet Union would recognise the tactics employed by the BBC to undermine, discredit and demonise those deemed to have unacceptable thinking, to make them non-perons, un-persons, to airbursh them from ‘decent’ society if not history, to taint them and taunt them, to make them so toxic no one wants to be associated with them or to employ them.

    Trouble is the deplorable electorate just don’t swallow the BBC’s poisonous propaganda and keep voting for Farage, Trump and Boris. Imagine how more succesful they would be if the BBC and its fellow travellers who pump out the tsunami of hate against such politicians and public figures, such as Tommy Robinson, were to tell the truth and not filll the airwaves with lies and hypocrisy?

    Anybody seen ‘The Loudest Voice’ on sky tv.
    It’s about how Fox tv came about in the USA.
    An interesting point they made at the beginning when making the pitch to start up the new Fox network was that EVERY other national tv media in the whole of the USA was left wing and half the Country had no one to speak up for them.

    It sounds very much like the position we are in here.
    All tv is wet lefty propaganda and the right has nobody.

    There’s a fantastic opportunity for somebody to start up a tv network that isn’t left wing. Even a middle of the road unbiased one would be a welcome change.

    I don’t know why Fox tv news channel stopped showing on sky but, if the left will allow it, (they control all the media), there’s at least 17.4 million just waiting for an honest, impartial tv channel to watch.

    A right of centre channel would be even better.

    Can you imagine it?

    Another recent Delingpole podcast is with Andy Ngo
    He wouldn’t talk like a rightie like Dellers wanted him to.
    Like he said victims should be believed like Owen Jones.
    – He spoke about been beaten into a brain haemorrhage by Portland Antifa
    – How there is a double standard in that the police just ignored the violence and don’t seem inclined to investigate ..like one of his attackers has been identified but not arrested or anything.
    and there is heaps of video
    – Said that Portland is not diverse , it’s almost all white, so the anger is coming from *white guilt* rather than true support for minorities.
    He described them as being clever with word games, words not meaning what you expect.
    He said that violence is part of their system as they believe that is how to cause the revolution that will overthrow the capitalist
    state cos they are anarcho-communists and although Democrats won’t call them out, Antifa are not liberal but rather want to overthrow both Democrats and Republicans
    – He then said the Proudboys were more of a working class drinking group,
    … some of whom are up for a fight, that they are not fascists.
    – However speaking on Charlottesville he said that was an extreme right rally, and that many soft right had stayed away, so it was just a few white supremacists
    (AFAIK that’s not true and it was more mainstream right, with some white supremacists tacked on
    and that you get things like agitators getting people to sing antisemitic songs)
    Ngo said it was a failure of policing that failed to keep the 2 groups apart.. And that incited the guy to drive a the antifa later.
    – On Trump he said that the “liberals” just routinely misquote him to play to their own crowd.

    On the the idea that BBCnews puts out bunk
    and then BBC More or Less corrects it, as they deal with facts.

    The point is BBC news is like a shouting choir continually putting out narrative
    .. It’s a loud propaganda operation.
    Whereas you have to seek out progs like More or Less, so it has only 1% of the impact.

    There is #1 fact, there is #2 narrative, and #3 things we don’t know.
    Narrative is a simplistic and often false maze template of the real world.
    As it tells us things like Father Christmas brings presents and storks bring babies.

    Just as a rat dreams of mazes if they are made to practice them beforehand, and afterward can deal better with real mazes.
    I believe human beings form maze templates when they are dreaming
    However if they are fed false narrative by media it’s GIGO
    and you get maze templates that say “if a person is not a wooly liberal, they must be a fascist”
    Such grand-narratives are the dogma of organised religion, Marxism, GreenDream religion etc.
    In real life you should be exploring the full maze of a topic, not just applying an old maze-template from something else.

    Talking Brexit (this post also does appear to a reply above).

    I am waiting with baited breathe for Plan B. As stated on a previous post, what happened last week with the anti No Brexit Bill would not have been wholly unexpected, it was what the traitors were indeed lining up and it was expected to pass through Parliament!

    The fact the Bill subsequently went through the Lords unopposed (after 100 amendments were withdrawn) would suggest there is another story…

    I am not sure on the protocol and closing of Parliament as part of the proroguing process, but it would be great if Boris stood up and said firstly to the opposition, this is your last chance to have a democratic election. This will no doubt be voted down. He can then go on and say thank you very much, I am now proroguing Parliament meet you back here later in October and don’t forget you have now had TWO chances to go to the Country for a democratic vote.

    Finally, he could sign off by saying something like “Oh in passing, we have examined the Benn anti No Brexit Deal Act and have noted the following fatal flaws, which make it unenforceable…”, and then rattle off some key elements of the legislation that will not work and cannot be enforced.

    Then just close his book, say goodbye and walk out.

    That would be pretty impressive and it would send all the remain biased MPs, media and establishment into another foaming frenzy.

    Of course, with Parliament prorogued, it does give him a clear run at the EU, with No Deal Brexit back on the table allowing some decent negotiating to go on!

    Here’s hoping!

    Guess some things are so much more important.

    Amber Rudd resigns in a flurry of indignant hurrumphing and the BBC fills the airwaves….John Mann resigns from Labour and becomes the Government anti-semitism tsar, ex-Labour MP Angela Smith joins the LibDems and……you have to look very, very hard to find the story…buried on the politics page….and for some reason even that headline is all about Smith…you’d think Mann, a big dog in Labour politics, would headline…

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-49623885

    ‘Angela Smith: Former Labour MP joins the Lib Dems’

    Why does Mann’s resignation merit hardly a mention…way, way down the report on Smith? Becoming anti-semitism tsar must provoke many questions about Corbyn…but…no.

    Here’s what he said…in the Mail….

    ”Every time I go into a meeting with a group of Jewish people, I wince when they raise the issue of the Labour Party and Corbyn.

    ‘It is impossible to overstate the anger that I have about that. He has not just hijacked my political party – he has hijacked its soul and its ethics. I will never forgive him for that.”

    An extraordinary accusation….however if he’d accused Boris of being a racist, ref. burka and post-boxes, he’d be headlining I’m sure.

    Instead we have the self-indulgent and treacherous Rudd being given the usual easy ride and loud platform to spout her nonsense….

    ‘Amber Rudd has quit the cabinet and surrendered the Conservative whip saying she cannot “stand by” while “moderate Conservatives are expelled”.
    Ms Rudd described the sacking of 21 Tory MPs on Tuesday as an “assault on decency and democracy”.
    Ms Rudd described the expulsions as a “short-sighted culling” of “broad-minded and dedicated Conservative MPs”.

    “I cannot support this act of political vandalism,” she added. ‘

    I mean, where to begin? She should be shredded, torn apart in any interview for such blatantly false statements…so much for the BBC and its mission to promote truth and fight disinformation….Lord Hall proclaiming…

    ‘”An assault on truth is an assault on democracy.”‘

    Lol.

    Rudd’s ‘moderate, broadminded conservatives’ are nothing of the sort…they are, in relation to Brexit, Remain ultras, they are pro-EU extremists willing to doing absolutely anything however damaging to stop Brexit. They were not ‘culled’, they deliberately and wilfully refused to back the government, to back a deal, to back the promise to respect the referendum, to back actual democracy, to back the voters, and to back the very country they shamelessly claim to be so proud of.

    These are people willing not just to act as agents for a foreign power, acting in their interests and not the British interest, but they also are prepared to unseat their own government, their Prime Minister and their Party and put in their place a man whose extremism, not mention that of his fellow travellers like Abbott and McDonnell, is extraordinarily dangerous and ruinous for this country…but they don’t care and the BBC just doesn’t hold them to account for their action…just the opposite…it holds them up as heroes fighting for justice, fairness and the country…just absolute lies.

    Here’s John Gray in the Mail spelling it out….

    ‘A dangerous delusion is taking hold in Britain. Ignoring Jeremy Corbyn’s reckless economic policies, his proven sympathy for terrorist groups and the part he has played in the rise of anti-Semitism in his party, a worrying number of influential people are prepared to believe that a Corbyn Government would be somehow less damaging than a No Deal Brexit.

    They are ready to let Corbyn, a proven extremist, into 10 Downing Street in order to derail or cancel our departure from the EU. It is a profound mistake.

    It is all the more disturbing that this credulous view has spread beyond the political class into sections of the City and industry.’

    Astounding that the BBC just looks away, prepared to have Corbyn in No10 purely because it is ‘Labour’ regardless of the reality of what Corbynism really means.

    Police said officers were called at 15:45 BST to reports of “suspicious activity” in Sydenham Road in Sydenham.

    Bloody youth club must have shut at 3.30pm !!!!! Nowt else to do. Can’t blame the gangs, blame the Tories, it’s just easier.

      Body number 101 . The average homicide number of London is around 110 for the whole years . I’m sticking to my guns and saying 130 at least this year .
      Meanwhile the Mayor is busy brexiting or insulting POTUS . Or mismanaging crossrail and closing down the roads for no sane reason .
