    Dominique Day was part of a UN team that said the UK is such a racist place
    and that stop & search needs to be banned.
    The government called the report superficial.

    His new response “Ah using the word ‘superficial’ is a racist trope used to mean lazy.

    The government replied a report that tries to group people using the term “people of African descent” is itself using a racial trope
    that denies the diversity within non-white or black people.

    Well the “Starmer ” club who’s sole member does not know what a woman is, has now been joined by an unlikely 2nd member…N. Sturgeon (aka wee Krankie,Das Boot etc)
    who has now tied herself in knots in amongst the very “bill” she passed with haste ( against a multitude of advice),

    A delightful couple .

    9pm BBC2 actress Emily Atack presents a documentary about how “men” send some women dick pictures.

    #1 Isn’t ot a repeat, a similar prog was on before
    #2 It’s the internet, you can’t just assume the real person is the person in the profile
    A man’s account might well turn out to be an account a 13 year old girl uses for trolling.

    Or more often 20 male accounts turn out to be the same man

    Has the media ever mentioned …. Guy Verhofstadt’s book ….. For Europe …..

    Europe is in crisis. How did we get here? What didn’t work? Faced with such an emergency, are the euro zone states not creating an undemocratic monster? Is euroscepticism not reactionary? Could a federation of 27 actually work? This book is a call. A wake up call directed to every citizen. It is an exercise in lucidity that encourages reflection. And it is also an alarm bell. The tone is frank, passionate. The arguments hard hitting: “Europe must once and for all get rid of the navel gazing of its nation-states. A radical revolution is needed. A large European revolution. And a European federal Union must emerge. A Union that enables Europe to participate in the postnational world of tomorrow. By laziness, cowardice and lack of vision, too many of our Heads of State and Government prefer not to see what is at stake. Let’s wake them up. Let’s confront them with their impotence. And give them no respite until they have taken the European way, the way to a Europe of the future, towards a Europe for Europeans. The era of empty summits and statements is over. Now is the time for action.”

    Christine Lagarde: IMF chief convicted over payout
    Published
    20 December 2016

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-38369822

    As French finance minister in 2008, she approved an award of €404m ($429m; £340m) to businessman Bernard Tapie for the disputed sale of a firm.

    Ms Lagarde, who always denied wrongdoing, was not present in court, having left Paris for Washington DC.

    The IMF board said it retained “full confidence” in her leadership.

    Days after a new road sign was defaced in north London, a huge sign featuring its original name was screwed to the wall behind.

    Black Boy Lane in Tottenham was renamed La Rose Lane by Haringey Council last week, citing concerns about its racial connotations.

      I don’t go along with removing statues as a rule, but if there’s one that should be destroyed, then that’s it.

      The sculptor, Eric Gill, was so sick he gave other paedo’s a bad name.

      Not content with merely raping his two daughters, he also raped the family dog…I mean, just how sick can a man be?

      Actually, thinking about it, keep the statue where it is.

      It says, far more than mere words, just what the BBC stand for…

    Just imagine if this was a Trump…….or how it may have affected the election if it was not suppressed..

    “‘Set phone up so I can spy on you showering.’ Hunter Biden threatened to withhold cash-strapped assistant’s pay if she didn’t FaceTime him naked, texts show – as it’s revealed she’s the FOURTH employee with whom he had a sexual relationship

    Texts obtained by DailyMail.com show First Son asked assistant for video sex.
    ‘The rule has to be no talk of anything but sex and we must be naked,’ he wrote. Biden filmed their sex sessions and saved the images on his laptop hard drive.”

    Pug – no sniggering – it’s a fact . Russia fears the might of the British military – and even if it had stayed with Within the peace loving socialist democracy of EuroReich …. Of course the ex kgb colonel now in charge of the USSR would have held back from his onslaught on Ukraine – and crimea of course …lol

    Someone should tell Verhoftwat that if the EU had not been so busy trying to get Ukraine to join, there would have been no Russian invasion in 2014. He can’t handle the truth.

    Matt Hancock’s car crash interview admitting to breaking the guidelines but not the law. Many knew at the time that the regulations had no legal basis, but the government relied on fear of a health crisis and fear of police action to subjugate the country.

    Just as informed consent is required when offering a medical treatments… generate enough anxiety and dread so people won’t notice they weren’t informed about risks and benefits but were forced into consenting.

        It’s quite amazing what Brexit is reponsible for.

        It’s even crashed all the economies across the world and caused a war in Ukraine.

        Sorry, the last bit was a mistake. That was Biden demonstrating that Afghanistan was not a fluke.

      The article mentions:

      ‘The BBC’s Trusted News Initiative is a powerful partnership that includes organizations such as AP, AFP, First Draft, Google/YouTube, Twitter, Reuters, Financial Times, Meta (Facebook) European Broadcasting Union, CBC/Radio-Canada, The Hindu, Microsoft, and The Washington Post.’

      … which absolutely explains my earlier observations about how certain agenda-based stories seem to appear simultaneously across many different sites and swamp the news-feeds.

      ‘Ministry of Truth’ indeed.

      I always get Emily Atack mixed up with Emily Head. Both blonde, both known mainly for The Inbetweeners, both from showbiz families.
      Atack is the daughter of Kate Robbins, niece of Ted and a relative of Paul McCartney.
      (Head is the daughter of the bloke from the old Gold Blend adverts.)

    Look North Tuesday 6.30 and an item about the teachers’ strikes tomorrow. At the end of the item Peter Levy read out an email from a schoolchild saying how they fully supported the teachers, not just in support of their pay but also as it supports the children’s future. I just wonder how the BBC staff knew it was actually from a pupil and not their parent, or even a union rep purporting to be a child. Maybe they have Unit 77 (or whatever they call them). But of course if it fits the Left and the BBC’s agenda.

    Hey boys and girls, I just wonder, will anyone be watching a revolutionary Storyville later tonight at 22.00, about “Casa Susanna”?

    Maybe I’ve been living under a rock the last few years, but it’s about a group of cross-dressers, living in a house together in 50s / 60s America. God, I simply haven’t heard about this topic before!
