Not BBC – David Davies MP has asked why an article in The New Yorker magazine has been banned in the UK. It is on the trial of Lucy Letby who was convicted of killing babies last year whilst a nurse on a maternity ward . Her case is heading to the Court of Appeal .
I’m outside the UK so looked up the article – it is very very long and detailed – and covers the entire trial . I worry when reporting is banned . David Davies was right to raise the issue …

MORE BABY REINDEER: What did @piersmorgan consider before speaking to alleged ‘real Martha’ & does he regret the interview some have called exploitative? On the Media Show he explains his decision & his media strategy – more from @BBCRosAtkins & me @BBCSounds @BBCRadio4
“Piers Morgan was tonight sacked as editor of the Daily Mirror after a crunch meeting with chief executive Sly Bailey over the Iraq ‘torture’ photographs, ending his eight and a half year reign at the paper.”
….
“He got called down to Sly’s office this afternoon and wasn’t even allowed back up to the 22nd floor to say goodbye to his staff,” said one insider. “He was escorted out of the building by security.
I thought I’d post this because it’s not being reported on the news as far as I can see. It’s a series of videos of Hezbollah attacks on Israeli settlements inside Lebanon not Israel itself.
It’s quite shocking the guy appears reasonably neutral but then I’m only a few minutes in, although he does appear biased to Hamas / Hezbollah.
The thing which bothers me is where they get the more sophisticated weapons such as stinger, and there has to be a suspicion they are from Afghanistan, (thanks Biden).
So at the end he makes his position crystal clear that he is opposed to the existance of Israel, but I thought it still worth posting aside from the awful music.
Israel is of course backed to the hilt by the US and has access to any weaponry is wants, however the worst point about all of this is, despite the war in Ukraine showing the effectiveness of drone warfare, the West appears to have done absolutely nothing to counter it.
There are reports the newest tank designed to replace the aged outclassed Abrams has no design features to protect against drones, and is therefore obsolete before they even designed it!
Modern warfare is changing and despite the crazy money America spends on defence they are failing to keep pace. The problem is too many old men in charge resistant to change and wanting to fight yesterdays battles.
Stingers are an excellent example of short-sighted American interference.
They gave them out like confetti for the Afghans to fight Russia. When the war ended, they realised what they had done so the CIA launched a program to buy them back at prices so high, people would not refuse. The end result was to make a few super-rich, super-powerful warlords who then went about their business fighting everybody else. No doubt they kept a few stingers for insurance.
Unless they are new ones of course – then they will be from the massive corruption in Ukraine.
I went to a talk today. The lady two seats away from me said she has a terrible cold but wore a fabric mask to prevent spreading it. As I understand the Cochrane Institute’s review of face masks concluded they were of little value. As a senior bod I know recently retired from a senior position in the NHS, “Cochrane is the gold standard for review of medical papers”, so I believe their conclusions. I couldn’t think of the right etiquette to suggest the lady moved to a seat at the far end of the room.
Deborah – I think the mask thing was just a sort of psychological ploy to make people think they were protected – maybe it’s hard to imagine how small viruses are – and how big the holes in masks are in comparison .
Washing hands properly is probably better prevention than masks – we may find out when a ‘serious ‘ bug turns up …
Just reading this article to find out why he might have been shot. And sure enough, the BBC are not telling me much about him at all. It’s the old ‘basic facts after the event only’ routine.
Which always makes me smell a big, fat rat at the BBC. So I checked and here are a few quotes from Fico in the past:
‘Fico said that selling or sending Ukraine weapons and military equipment to defend itself has only encouraged more violence.’
‘He also expressed disagreements with the European Commission in questions of immigration.’
“When I say something now, maybe it will seem strange, but I’m sorry, Islam has no place in Slovakia. I think it is the duty of politicians to talk about these things very clearly and openly. I do not wish there were tens of thousands of Muslims.”
It seems he had to resign from the position earlier in 2018 when he said:
‘Fico had earlier in March accused President Kiska of plotting with George Soros to topple his government..’
All of which might explain why the BBC (and MSM in general) are being so economical with the facts. If indeed it were an EU ‘deep state’ assasination, that’s exactly what they would do because we are effectively living under the beginnings of the new Nazis.
I will watch this story with interest. If it goes quickly under the carpet, we will know why.
The BBC do offer ONE possible reason why he got shot:
‘President-elect Peter Pellegrini, who is a political ally of Mr Fico’s, said he was horrified to hear of the attack and also blamed the shooting on recent political divisions.’
No doubt they will use the same line for Trump if they get that desperate. Inferring that HE caused the divisions of course. Maybe this is even a warning to Trump.
I am 100% certain that the BBC commissars actually think ‘It’s sad he had to be shot, but it’s for the greater good’.
‘I agree assassination is not good, certainly not in an ideal world, but it will not harm us if he goes, unless it encourages a lurch to the Right/Russia.’
So according to the Left, Russia is now far-Right. When did that happen ?. When they started doing things the Left didn’t like ?.
Such shameless hypocrites. They cannot be trusted at all.
They are all staying well away from calling it the Left-wing assasination attempt of a populist leader that it is – who started on the Left but has swung to the Right after seeing what their ideology actually leads to in the real world.
This BBC headline is a good example of exactly how the Left work against people they don’t like.
They work to build up a negative image of someone then they use that persons name as a label against whatever it is they want to pull down. Thanks to mass MSM co-ordinated overage, Putin is now only second up from the devil. So when they call it ‘Putins war’, it personalises it as ‘the work of evil’.
This is not Putins war by any means. It’s Russia’s war. He does it with the full consent of his government and of the Russian people. Despite what the BBC try to tell us. Putin has an 80% approval rating in Russia. Compare that to <40% for Biden and 20% for Sunak. Even Zelensky – with as much positive PR as the Western MSM can give him – I never read a single criticism of him on the BBC – is down to 63% in Ukraine now, with a third of the country not trusting him at all.
They do the same with all their other labels. They work to make a word mean very bad things, then they throw it at everybody who they want to discredit. 'Islamophobia' is an excellent example. And these days 'racist' covers absolutely everything negative directed at BAME – even when it is 100% true.
It's a particularly nasty way to 'debate' because they deliberately make it personal. They go for the man, not the ball. Maxi does exactly the same thing.
Most people only read the title – look at the image and move on.

The government has revealed how much companies will have to pay to import foods from the EU due to Brexit.
Small imports of products such as fish, salami, sausage, cheese and yoghurt will be subject to fees of up to £145 from 30 April, according to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).
The Cold Chain Federation said the new charges would hit food prices.
That is true Marky – and is why the BBC have their ‘incredible morphing headlines’.
They something outrageous on the front page then change to be more balanced in the article. That way they get the agenda fed into the ‘headline scanners’ and also avoid their pseudo-lies being archived with the article when the fact-checkers take a look.
Just reading how the unfortunate Indian was killed by an Israeli tank whilst driving through an active combat area.
‘On Wednesday, UN Deputy Spokesperson Farhan Haq said the organisation had “no doubt” that shots from an Israeli tank hit the back of the car, which was clearly marked as a UN vehicle.’
Haq (a Muslim name) doesn’t mention if it had UN on the back and despite having seen pictures of the car on social media (‘verified by the BBC’ they tell us – but omit what they have in fact verified), the BBC choose to show us a stock picture from Getty instead – which just happens to have ‘UN’ written clearly on the nearest side.
And I have to say that if I saw any car with ‘UN’ on it, I would not be sure it didn’t have Hamas inside. The two are intertwined. I would use it’s behaviour to decide what to do. For example, if turned and started driving away as fast as it could, it would be a legitimate target in a war zone.
But once again we are getting demands to know why it happened. Why is nobody demanding enquiries why Hamas are using so many UN bases for their command posts ?. The UN seem to be simply ignoring the topic – and the BBC/MSM are not even asking them.
JohnC
Let’s face it – Islamic Hamas is a very very good terrorist group . What it did on 7 October – and the identification of Israeli weakness – was a masterful piece of terrorism – together with slaughter – rape – abduction – torture – all filmed – was top terrorism .
Using civilians as human shields – infiltrating / running ‘charities ‘ – setting up bases in hospitals schools mosques – perfect cover . And the UN must have been easy – same with tame journalists like the BBC – feeding them propaganda .
How can that be beaten ? Force .
Keep going IDF – forget the woke west … I wondered how the US would have reacted if it happened to them – answer – carpet bombing cities ….
Andy – looks like the Obama gang has found some meds which hold off the Biden dementia . I can’t see the ‘debate’ going ahead – unless CNN / ABC do it in such a way as to shield Biden from full on Trump …
They’ll manufacture a way to make sure even the dumbest American ( so many ) don’t realise how mentally empty Biden is …
I’m going full on paranoia, following the assassination attempt yesterday it’s given them ideas . Trump won’t be able to resist the idea of a debate with dementia Joe, I think they’ll put a hitman in the audience.
Did you see Biden pulled out from the organised debates and wants them hosted by CNN and ABC now. Both heavily Left leaning.
They have clearly come up with some sort of plan which they knew they would never get away with if they used the supposedly ‘non-partisan’ official venues.
In 2016 we called CNN and ABC the Clinton News Network and Anyone But Conservative, if anything they’re even worse now with their credibility in the basement along with Joe.
“A retired 74-year-old Ghanaian man who has lived in the UK for nearly 50 years”

1) Ghanaian
2) The headline – 42 years in the UK – but the “story” he has lived in the UK for nearly 50 years ??
3) Assumed he was officially seen as British? what an idiot. What is seen as mean?
This is complete BS. He came as a student and just stayed. He knew full well he was not British. He’s just another chancer. We are meant to be impressed that he ran a corner shop and paid taxes. Good for him. But he should not have been here and was never a British citizen.
Today watch
I couldn’t help myself – I had to listen in case the lovely Emma was on … she was …. Bliss … but the 0810 was Amol and Patrick McFadden – Starmers ‘enforcer ‘…
.. I was surprised he was on because a piece in the Telegraph today describes how he used the ‘rules ‘ on MP expenses to claim for mortgage interest on a property in his constituency he bought which was next to his own property . Some wouid see this as corrupt – in the same way the Deputy PM fiddled the rules to get taxpayers money for his own benefit ….
There can be no surprise here – blue and red have the same values – or absence of them … I saw that the repulsive blue nadawi – ‘stepping down ‘ is now on the board of a multi national ….. same old same old …
The amol – Patrick ‘pat’ McFadden interview went on for over 10 minutes – ‘pat’ sounded like he didn’t want to be there – he knew the question about his apparent corruption with property deals wouid turn up – But it didn’t come at all ….
But should we be surprised ?
Actually – I am – breathtaking pro red bias
IF EVER THERE WAS A CASE OF THE BBC FAVOURING LABOUR – THIS WAS IT
Here is the piece about Patrick Mc Fadden MP -enjoy –
STARTS Sir Keir Starmer’s election chief claimed more than £40,000 on expenses for rent on a constituency home despite owning the house next door.
Pat McFadden, who as national campaign co-ordinator is one of Labour’s most powerful figures, used the unusual living arrangement for five years.
He moved out of his own property in July 2012, a month before expenses rules were changed to bar MPs from claiming for mortgage interest.
The revelations sparked accusations he had abused the “spirit of the rules” and prompted calls for change to stop taxpayers subsidising MPs’ property portfolios.
A spokesman for Mr McFadden said he had “complied with the IPSA rules at all times” and pointed out that he eventually sold his house for a loss.
The New Labour veteran, who was first elected in 2005, bought a newbuild home in his Wolverhampton constituency for £159,950 in 2006.
He lived there for six years, claiming expenses for mortgage interest of £547 a month, until he moved out in July 2012 because of the rule change.
That month he let out his house and moved next door, where he started claiming the £625 a month rent on expenses as his constituency home.
His own property was advertised for £700 a month by a letting agent in August 2015.
The living arrangement was first reported by The Sunday Times in September 2015, by which point Mr McFadden had claimed £21,000 in rent.
At the time he said he was forced into the move by the change to expenses rules and that he could not sell the house he owned because it was in negative equity.
‘Not making any profit’
He told the newspaper that his living situation was “a direct result of the change in rules for MPs’ accommodation costs” introduced in 2012.
“I did not want to move out of my constituency home and did not want to rent it out. I have not sought at any stage to get round the IPSA rules but instead to comply with them,” he said.
Mr McFadden also insisted he was not making any profit from the situation.
It can now be revealed that despite the criticism, he kept the arrangement for a further two years, almost doubling the total amount he claimed in rent to £40,250.
He eventually sold the house he owned in November 2017, with title deeds showing that he made a £12,950 loss on the original price he had paid.
The Labour veteran separately owns a house in north London, which he bought in 2009 for £799,950, and which is now valued at an estimated £1.74 million.
‘Against spirit of expenses rule’
Sir Alistair Graham, a former chairman of the committee on standards in public life, said Mr McFadden’s living arrangements went against the spirit of expenses rules.
“All MPs have a strong personal responsibility to ensure that they keep to the minimum the amount that they need to claim from public funds,” he said.
He added that IPSA should review the rules around constituency home allowances to “see what was in the best public interest”.
Parliament’s spending watchdog said that it does not take into account MPs’ personal wealth or property ownership when setting the rules.
“The IPSA Accommodation budget is there to ensure that MPs are not out of pocket from having to work in two locations,” it said.
Meanwhile, the Tories accused Mr McFadden of “rank hypocrisy” given that Labour has repeatedly accused them of wasting public money.
‘Hypocrisy from Labour’
The party launched a campaign last February attacking the Conservatives over “lavish spending” on hotels and restaurants using Government credit cards.
Gary Sambrook, the Tory MP for Birmingham Northfield, said: “Labour’s election campaign is being run by a man who used taxpayers’ money to subsidise a tidy property portfolio, owning two houses whilst living in a third – in total contravention of the spirit of the rules.
“Once again it’s more rank hypocrisy from the Labour Party who are all too happy to point the finger at everyone and anyone, without a shred of integrity of their own.”
Mr McFadden and his wife Marianna are two of the most influential figures in Sir Keir’s top team and would play a crucial role in a future Labour government.
He is responsible for planning the party’s election strategy and is regularly sent out on the airwaves to sell its policies.
He was brought back into the fold having served as a minister under Sir Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, and as a shadow minister under Jeremy Corbyn.
Mrs McFadden, meanwhile, is the deputy to Morgan McSweeney, who is considered to be Sir Keir’s most senior and powerful adviser.
A Labour spokesman said: “Mr McFadden has complied with the IPSA rules at all times. In 2017 he sold his property in Wolverhampton at a loss, which he paid for personally.”ENDS
Marky – having read the DT piece – and then hearing that paddy McFadden was on the 0810 – these were the questions inexpectec
‘There are questions over your property dealings exploiting the rules for personal gain – what do you say ?”
You are the second senior labour MP to have serious questions over personal gain using property deals – can labour be trusted ?
And those are just for starters . I don’t raise this for partisan reasons – just the duty the BBC has to hold all politicians to account – a major – serious failure …
Maybe all MPs could step forward (including Barry Gardiner £500K from china) and show their property setup!

As we all know, it’s what the BBC DON’T ask and what they DON’T report which is the biggest way they lie to us. And how they get around the fact-checkers.
I can hear them responding to my accusation as I type:
‘It’s impossible to cover every detail of every story but the BBC makes every effort to include any which are relevant to give a balanced view.’
Another day, another way the taxpayers’ dime is wasted. According to the Taxpayers’ Alliance, the Covid Inquiry is costing £300,000 a day – £94 million so far in the last two years that it has been going on. The costs of Covid continue…

The FT catches the mood of our blue/red mushed to sickly elite regime purple political interchangeability: The Labour party has formed an unlikely link-up with Jeremy Hunt, the chancellor, in pressing the City watchdog to stop holding back the country’s financial services industry with allegedly excessive regulation – the FT there acts the blushing virgin wallflower pretending reluctance whilst surely fancying the pants off some renewed Gordon Brownesque light touch City financial sector bonanza?
Smear party
The globalist FT tackles the big news about the assassination attempt on the “populist” Slovak premier – with just a modest smear for his Smer party: The shooting comes at a time of deep polarisation in Slovakia. Fico, 59, founder of the populist Smer party… Eurosceptic coalition… called on the EU to lift sanctions imposed on Russia… It also wants the bloc to take tough measures against migration – can we get a “far-right” with that? Perhaps this isn’t quite the time or the place: Fico’s office said he was in a “life-threatening condition”
It’s been a while since Mr AsI, in response to some toe-curlingly bourgeoise elite view virtue-signalling Guardian headline, exclaimed: “Pass the frittata!”

Mr AsI is quick to respond with a calm down dear when and where it is warrented. So it’s only fair that he gives some judicious kudos where applicable
The largely left-leaning ‘i’ in fairness does deliver the occasional mildly conservative commentary column: Society – it’s now taboo to admit loving motherhood
This comes as though in response to the miserabilist moaning in the Times: Childbirth? I am still recovering Theo Clarke – yes, that is a woman – and she’s a Tory MP – to boot (out at the next election)
But from your frontpage press reviewer and frankly conservative commentator hereabouts – who considers public services would work an awful lot better if – for example, our police and nurses wore proper uniforms once more – this is surely the best line of news he’s read for quite some time – and the best antidote to the usual prevailing rampent performative press feminism: Easy & breezy… The return of the summer dress (Telegraph)

More than 2.5million new listeners have joined Ken Bruce on Greatest Hits Radio
BBC Radio 2 has lost more than a million listeners as fans of its stalwart former host Ken Bruce appear to be following him to Greatest Hits Radio.
Weekly audience figures for the BBC’s most popular radio service between January and March were down by 1.23 million from 14.46 million to 13.23 million – nearly 9 per cent – on the same period last year.
Meanwhile, Greatest Hits Radio, which Bruce joined in April last year after 31 years at the BBC, has recorded a 50 per cent increase, with more than 2.5 million new listeners taking its total to 7.69 million.
The Rajar listening figures show that Greatest Hits Radio, which also counts Simon Mayo as a host, now has a larger audience than BBC Radio 1, which recorded a 266,000 drop in its audience to 7.31million.
The Radio 2 downturn comes amid claims that it has been abandoning its core older listeners in a bid for a younger audience – and continued speculation that Greatest Hits Radio is being boosted by disaffected former fans of the BBC station.
But BBC bosses could take some comfort that Radio 2 was down only slightly on the previous quarter, dropping by 53,000, according to the new figures.
Bruce’s own figures at Greatest Hits Radio give him 3.8 million listeners – a 73 per cent increase on the same period last year.
It is understood that his replacement on Radio 2, Vernon Kay, has continued to lose listeners and is now getting about 1.5 million fewer than the 8.2 million Bruce got at the BBC station.

Watch live: Sir Keir Starmer unveils Labour’s plans to ‘change Britain’
Started streaming 50 minutes ago #Labour #KeirStarmer #Starmer
Sir Keir Starmer will outline his “first steps” for government at a launch event to kickstart the next phase of Labour’s campaign for the general election.
The party leader will host the event in the potential battleground of Essex, where he will pledge to build on the five “missions” he set out last year.
Among the first steps “to change Britain” will be Labour’s pledge to deliver economic stability, cut NHS waiting times, launch a new border security command, set up publicly-owned energy firm Great British Energy, crack down on antisocial behaviour and recruit 6,500 new teachers
I don’t know why, but I’m getting a strong feeling, it’s one of those days that a giant picture of a pink boat protected by several rings of police officers, is going to appear on the thread…😊
“Nobody came close to Meg in that respect. She was followed by millions in this country and also around the world.
“She even became part of the English language – if a politician, somebody from showbiz or ordinary people in the street are asked a tricky question they will say ‘Who do you think I am, Mystic Meg?’
“It shows what an impact she made.”
Israeli-British TV personality Uri Geller led the tributes, external to Mystic Meg on social media, noting that she was “so identifiable by name and image”.
Just reading the update for the Slovak PM and it struck me it is quite similar to the murder of Jo Cox but in this case it is a Leftie trying to assasinate someone for their right-wing views.
The BBC said this about Jo Cox’s killer:
‘Batley and Spen MP Ms Cox was killed by far-right terrorist Mair in June 2016.’
No mention of his mental problems this time and so much for the BBC lie of not calling people terrorists. The usual gross BBC double standards.
Apparently he said ‘calling for “650 Thomas Mairs” and hailing the killer as a “hero”.’.
He got 2 years, 8 months in jail for being a terrorist himself !!!. Contrast that with what is totally ignored from these racist Palestinian supporters calling for Jews to be wiped out.
So lets all wait for the BBC to call this man a ‘far-Left terrorist’ to show we are all wrong and they don’t have disgusting, biased, far-Left double standards.
And for some reason the mysandrist MSM can never seem to mention the MAN* who was assistant to Jo Cox who was also stabbed in the process of trying to defend Jo Cox. He died a year or so later.
* MAN – someone with a cock. bBC Verify to confirm

It’s now, after a 10yr career, that “he felt his home country of Iran was unsafe” and wants to be in the UK. Luckily he’s in touch with the BBC, The Guardian and Care4Calais who will push for better bike storage facilities for migrants because we’re all racist and can pay more tax.

“Over the past few years Oxfam’s reputation in both the UK and abroad has suffered from a series of allegations of sexual harassment and abuse committed by Oxfam’s employees and agents in overseas emergency and long-term aid operations.
Haiti
After the Haiti earthquake in 2010, Oxfam investigated, a year later, reports that Oxfam-employed workers in Haiti were sexually abusing local women and girls.
Seven members of the Oxfam team in Haiti, including the head of the operation, Roland van Hauwermeiren, resigned or were sacked for sexual conduct in 2011. Prostitutes, some possibly underage, had been entertained at Oxfam properties in Haiti. ”
“Let us hail the dawn they won for us, and remember their living comrades,” she said. “Give them the opportunity and liberty they helped win,” she added — although, it was not what was heard. The censor removed the words “opportunity and”.
The censor probably should have known better. “Recorded by Lady MacRobert, as altered, at Aberdeen,” she wrote in red on the transcript. “Broadcast as mutilated by the BBC,” she then noted, “without permission.”

“Teenagers will be able to qualify to drive trains on Britain’s railways under new proposals.
The government is asking for views on reducing the minimum age from 20 to 18, in a consultation running until 13 June.
The number of train drivers due to retire in the next five years has prompted concerns of a shortage. Their average age at the moment is 48.”
BBC love publishing bullshit stories without question.
Like there’s going to be a shortage, for a relatively unskilled job; drivers having just turned down a 65 k pay offer.
Guess the bbc like the idea of youth inclusiveness, and that pips bashing the government for wasting our money on consultations.

‘Boxing great Lennox Lewis is tipping “bigger guy” Tyson Fury to become undisputed world heavyweight champion by beating Oleksandr Usyk.’
After watching this scene – 20 seconds in, the bald headed guy, John Fury – Tyson’s pikey dad, decides to place a nut on the smallest member of the Usyk team…
Maybe I’ll have a bet on Oleksandr Usyk win inside the distance, 4.5 to 1.

The only way that the BBC and the Labour party can
be defeated . And my hard working constituency MP
Theresa Villiers can retain her seat . Is to take a book out
of what happened at the Eurovision Song Contest.
The BBC backed Jury gave Israel NUL points but the
“silent” majority gave Israel 12 points.
Sunak can get from NUL to 12. By stopping the pro Hamas
marches. Which the great majority of the public are sick off.
And more important STOPPING the boats crossing the channel. We stopped
Hitler crossing the channel. Even with our under strength
navy, Surely they could stop this curse.
Denmark and now Holland are basically telling the EU
to F**K off with their woke humane rights policy.
If Sunak showed the same courage as them. The silent
majority in the UK could still give him 12 points !!
Rishi says when he goes to the USA with his Green Card he will tell them how he saved the UK from being racist and drink with Harry and Meghan at an awards ceremony celebrating Nigerian space technologies.
I not sure Sunak care about points or anything similar.
He was given the opportunity to marry a rich bride by the globalists, with the understanding he’d be in their debt.
The payback was he’d become their puppet prime minister for a while.

Tomo – being a weird teenagers ( never changed ) I hoovered up all of the Watergate Stuff .. I still think Nixon was a good president but the election he lost against the preppy Jack Kennedy had a big impact …

The video was too long for me even at x2 speed – but it was weird going to DC for the first time and visiting the Watergate building …….
You might want to rethink that as Nixon took the US off the Gold Standard which has led to all kinds of catastrophic debt issues.
Without this catastrophic decision Socialist governments would not have been able to squander ridiculous amounts of money, and it is the reason why we are all headed into an economic abyss.
Nixon also visited China, and opened it up to external trade, this led to globalisation and the deindustrialisation of the West.
With regards to Nixon, he would never have been caught though if he hadn’t recorded everything on tape.
Ok not bbc – but it’s bugging me – The Duchess of Sussex is saying she is 46% Nigerian … how did she work that out ? And what is the other 54% ? And will she be visiting the countries of her 54% ancestors ?
It reminded me of the loon democrat who claimed to be a red indian – but turned out to have .5% Cherokee in her ( oo matron ) …
Does it make Meghan just 46% fraudster stock ? …
Harry – I still don’t get the 46% thing – did she have a DNA test showing 46% African genes ? Does that make the offspring 23% Nigerian .
It strikes as a sort of worst case racism .. she is a yank – a mongrel – yet trades on colour … as some sort of marketing label .. she was good in ‘suits ‘ though – currently being repeated on the BBC . I saw it first time round buried on C5 – the first 2 series were very good – but she made the tea ..
With you on that, just going on her parents her father is 100% white he gives her 50% now her mother has white ancestry as she’s no where near full on black more coffee colour to me just looking there’s at least 10- 15% Caucasian there. Where that figure of 43% comes from I’ve no idea. It makes me think of those 7th generation Irish Americans, no you’re not Irish you’re American.
Years ago Dame Edna was doing a Q&A with some celebrities and a rather charming young Polish lady asked a question. Dame Edna shot back immediately with:

I thought I’d post this because it’s not being reported on the news as far as I can see. It’s a series of videos of Hezbollah attacks on Israeli settlements inside Lebanon not Israel itself.
It’s quite shocking the guy appears reasonably neutral but then I’m only a few minutes in, although he does appear biased to Hamas / Hezbollah.
The thing which bothers me is where they get the more sophisticated weapons such as stinger, and there has to be a suspicion they are from Afghanistan, (thanks Biden).
So at the end he makes his position crystal clear that he is opposed to the existance of Israel, but I thought it still worth posting aside from the awful music.
Israel is of course backed to the hilt by the US and has access to any weaponry is wants, however the worst point about all of this is, despite the war in Ukraine showing the effectiveness of drone warfare, the West appears to have done absolutely nothing to counter it.
There are reports the newest tank designed to replace the aged outclassed Abrams has no design features to protect against drones, and is therefore obsolete before they even designed it!
Modern warfare is changing and despite the crazy money America spends on defence they are failing to keep pace. The problem is too many old men in charge resistant to change and wanting to fight yesterdays battles.
Here’s the video FWIW.
Stingers are an excellent example of short-sighted American interference.
They gave them out like confetti for the Afghans to fight Russia. When the war ended, they realised what they had done so the CIA launched a program to buy them back at prices so high, people would not refuse. The end result was to make a few super-rich, super-powerful warlords who then went about their business fighting everybody else. No doubt they kept a few stingers for insurance.
Unless they are new ones of course – then they will be from the massive corruption in Ukraine.
I went to a talk today. The lady two seats away from me said she has a terrible cold but wore a fabric mask to prevent spreading it. As I understand the Cochrane Institute’s review of face masks concluded they were of little value. As a senior bod I know recently retired from a senior position in the NHS, “Cochrane is the gold standard for review of medical papers”, so I believe their conclusions. I couldn’t think of the right etiquette to suggest the lady moved to a seat at the far end of the room.
Deborah – I think the mask thing was just a sort of psychological ploy to make people think they were protected – maybe it’s hard to imagine how small viruses are – and how big the holes in masks are in comparison .
Washing hands properly is probably better prevention than masks – we may find out when a ‘serious ‘ bug turns up …
Slovak PM Robert Fico fights for life after assassination attempt
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cg6761ggxz1o
Just reading this article to find out why he might have been shot. And sure enough, the BBC are not telling me much about him at all. It’s the old ‘basic facts after the event only’ routine.
Which always makes me smell a big, fat rat at the BBC. So I checked and here are a few quotes from Fico in the past:
‘Fico said that selling or sending Ukraine weapons and military equipment to defend itself has only encouraged more violence.’
‘He also expressed disagreements with the European Commission in questions of immigration.’
“When I say something now, maybe it will seem strange, but I’m sorry, Islam has no place in Slovakia. I think it is the duty of politicians to talk about these things very clearly and openly. I do not wish there were tens of thousands of Muslims.”
It seems he had to resign from the position earlier in 2018 when he said:
‘Fico had earlier in March accused President Kiska of plotting with George Soros to topple his government..’
All of which might explain why the BBC (and MSM in general) are being so economical with the facts. If indeed it were an EU ‘deep state’ assasination, that’s exactly what they would do because we are effectively living under the beginnings of the new Nazis.
I will watch this story with interest. If it goes quickly under the carpet, we will know why.
The BBC do offer ONE possible reason why he got shot:
‘President-elect Peter Pellegrini, who is a political ally of Mr Fico’s, said he was horrified to hear of the attack and also blamed the shooting on recent political divisions.’
No doubt they will use the same line for Trump if they get that desperate. Inferring that HE caused the divisions of course. Maybe this is even a warning to Trump.
I am 100% certain that the BBC commissars actually think ‘It’s sad he had to be shot, but it’s for the greater good’.
I will watch this story with interest …
Comment from the far-left ‘Independent’ article:
‘I agree assassination is not good, certainly not in an ideal world, but it will not harm us if he goes, unless it encourages a lurch to the Right/Russia.’
So according to the Left, Russia is now far-Right. When did that happen ?. When they started doing things the Left didn’t like ?.
Such shameless hypocrites. They cannot be trusted at all.
They are all staying well away from calling it the Left-wing assasination attempt of a populist leader that it is – who started on the Left but has swung to the Right after seeing what their ideology actually leads to in the real world.
China-Russia relations: What is Xi Jinping prepared to pay for Putin’s war?
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-69013520
This BBC headline is a good example of exactly how the Left work against people they don’t like.
They work to build up a negative image of someone then they use that persons name as a label against whatever it is they want to pull down. Thanks to mass MSM co-ordinated overage, Putin is now only second up from the devil. So when they call it ‘Putins war’, it personalises it as ‘the work of evil’.
This is not Putins war by any means. It’s Russia’s war. He does it with the full consent of his government and of the Russian people. Despite what the BBC try to tell us. Putin has an 80% approval rating in Russia. Compare that to <40% for Biden and 20% for Sunak. Even Zelensky – with as much positive PR as the Western MSM can give him – I never read a single criticism of him on the BBC – is down to 63% in Ukraine now, with a third of the country not trusting him at all.
They do the same with all their other labels. They work to make a word mean very bad things, then they throw it at everybody who they want to discredit. 'Islamophobia' is an excellent example. And these days 'racist' covers absolutely everything negative directed at BAME – even when it is 100% true.
It's a particularly nasty way to 'debate' because they deliberately make it personal. They go for the man, not the ball. Maxi does exactly the same thing.
Most people only read the title – look at the image and move on.

The government (Rishi CANNOT STOP ONE BOAT) said the fees would pay for “world-class border facilities”.

Waibhav Kale: UN says Israeli tank attack killed staff member in Gaza
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-69013439
Just reading how the unfortunate Indian was killed by an Israeli tank whilst driving through an active combat area.
‘On Wednesday, UN Deputy Spokesperson Farhan Haq said the organisation had “no doubt” that shots from an Israeli tank hit the back of the car, which was clearly marked as a UN vehicle.’
Haq (a Muslim name) doesn’t mention if it had UN on the back and despite having seen pictures of the car on social media (‘verified by the BBC’ they tell us – but omit what they have in fact verified), the BBC choose to show us a stock picture from Getty instead – which just happens to have ‘UN’ written clearly on the nearest side.
And I have to say that if I saw any car with ‘UN’ on it, I would not be sure it didn’t have Hamas inside. The two are intertwined. I would use it’s behaviour to decide what to do. For example, if turned and started driving away as fast as it could, it would be a legitimate target in a war zone.
But once again we are getting demands to know why it happened. Why is nobody demanding enquiries why Hamas are using so many UN bases for their command posts ?. The UN seem to be simply ignoring the topic – and the BBC/MSM are not even asking them.
JohnC
Let’s face it – Islamic Hamas is a very very good terrorist group . What it did on 7 October – and the identification of Israeli weakness – was a masterful piece of terrorism – together with slaughter – rape – abduction – torture – all filmed – was top terrorism .
Using civilians as human shields – infiltrating / running ‘charities ‘ – setting up bases in hospitals schools mosques – perfect cover . And the UN must have been easy – same with tame journalists like the BBC – feeding them propaganda .
How can that be beaten ? Force .
Keep going IDF – forget the woke west … I wondered how the US would have reacted if it happened to them – answer – carpet bombing cities ….
Not force Fed, extermination. Like vermin.
They cannot be reasoned with. They cannot be trusted. They commit violent murder without conscience. Any other animal would be immediately put down.
JC – I have to be ‘moderate ‘… but dealing with such a gang – I know what I’d have done – and I see the IDF being quite restrained …

I’m going full on paranoia, following the assassination attempt yesterday it’s given them ideas . Trump won’t be able to resist the idea of a debate with dementia Joe, I think they’ll put a hitman in the audience.
Did you see Biden pulled out from the organised debates and wants them hosted by CNN and ABC now. Both heavily Left leaning.
They have clearly come up with some sort of plan which they knew they would never get away with if they used the supposedly ‘non-partisan’ official venues.

There can be no surprise here – blue and red have the same values – or absence of them … I saw that the repulsive blue nadawi – ‘stepping down ‘ is now on the board of a multi national ….. same old same old …

But should we be surprised ?
Actually – I am – breathtaking pro red bias
IF EVER THERE WAS A CASE OF THE BBC FAVOURING LABOUR – THIS WAS IT
Here is the piece about Patrick Mc Fadden MP -enjoy –
STARTS Sir Keir Starmer’s election chief claimed more than £40,000 on expenses for rent on a constituency home despite owning the house next door.
Pat McFadden, who as national campaign co-ordinator is one of Labour’s most powerful figures, used the unusual living arrangement for five years.
He moved out of his own property in July 2012, a month before expenses rules were changed to bar MPs from claiming for mortgage interest.
The revelations sparked accusations he had abused the “spirit of the rules” and prompted calls for change to stop taxpayers subsidising MPs’ property portfolios.
A spokesman for Mr McFadden said he had “complied with the IPSA rules at all times” and pointed out that he eventually sold his house for a loss.
The New Labour veteran, who was first elected in 2005, bought a newbuild home in his Wolverhampton constituency for £159,950 in 2006.
He lived there for six years, claiming expenses for mortgage interest of £547 a month, until he moved out in July 2012 because of the rule change.
That month he let out his house and moved next door, where he started claiming the £625 a month rent on expenses as his constituency home.
His own property was advertised for £700 a month by a letting agent in August 2015.
The living arrangement was first reported by The Sunday Times in September 2015, by which point Mr McFadden had claimed £21,000 in rent.
At the time he said he was forced into the move by the change to expenses rules and that he could not sell the house he owned because it was in negative equity.
‘Not making any profit’
He told the newspaper that his living situation was “a direct result of the change in rules for MPs’ accommodation costs” introduced in 2012.
“I did not want to move out of my constituency home and did not want to rent it out. I have not sought at any stage to get round the IPSA rules but instead to comply with them,” he said.
Mr McFadden also insisted he was not making any profit from the situation.
It can now be revealed that despite the criticism, he kept the arrangement for a further two years, almost doubling the total amount he claimed in rent to £40,250.
He eventually sold the house he owned in November 2017, with title deeds showing that he made a £12,950 loss on the original price he had paid.
The Labour veteran separately owns a house in north London, which he bought in 2009 for £799,950, and which is now valued at an estimated £1.74 million.
‘Against spirit of expenses rule’
Sir Alistair Graham, a former chairman of the committee on standards in public life, said Mr McFadden’s living arrangements went against the spirit of expenses rules.
“All MPs have a strong personal responsibility to ensure that they keep to the minimum the amount that they need to claim from public funds,” he said.
He added that IPSA should review the rules around constituency home allowances to “see what was in the best public interest”.
Parliament’s spending watchdog said that it does not take into account MPs’ personal wealth or property ownership when setting the rules.
“The IPSA Accommodation budget is there to ensure that MPs are not out of pocket from having to work in two locations,” it said.
Meanwhile, the Tories accused Mr McFadden of “rank hypocrisy” given that Labour has repeatedly accused them of wasting public money.
‘Hypocrisy from Labour’
The party launched a campaign last February attacking the Conservatives over “lavish spending” on hotels and restaurants using Government credit cards.
Gary Sambrook, the Tory MP for Birmingham Northfield, said: “Labour’s election campaign is being run by a man who used taxpayers’ money to subsidise a tidy property portfolio, owning two houses whilst living in a third – in total contravention of the spirit of the rules.
“Once again it’s more rank hypocrisy from the Labour Party who are all too happy to point the finger at everyone and anyone, without a shred of integrity of their own.”
Mr McFadden and his wife Marianna are two of the most influential figures in Sir Keir’s top team and would play a crucial role in a future Labour government.
He is responsible for planning the party’s election strategy and is regularly sent out on the airwaves to sell its policies.
He was brought back into the fold having served as a minister under Sir Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, and as a shadow minister under Jeremy Corbyn.
Mrs McFadden, meanwhile, is the deputy to Morgan McSweeney, who is considered to be Sir Keir’s most senior and powerful adviser.
A Labour spokesman said: “Mr McFadden has complied with the IPSA rules at all times. In 2017 he sold his property in Wolverhampton at a loss, which he paid for personally.”ENDS
AND AMOL DIDNT ASK THE RED MP ABOUT THIS
“unusual living arrangement for five years.” – unusual! Scamming! Cheating! Lying!
Marky – having read the DT piece – and then hearing that paddy McFadden was on the 0810 – these were the questions inexpectec
‘There are questions over your property dealings exploiting the rules for personal gain – what do you say ?”
You are the second senior labour MP to have serious questions over personal gain using property deals – can labour be trusted ?
And those are just for starters . I don’t raise this for partisan reasons – just the duty the BBC has to hold all politicians to account – a major – serious failure …
Maybe all MPs could step forward (including Barry Gardiner £500K from china) and show their property setup!

As we all know, it’s what the BBC DON’T ask and what they DON’T report which is the biggest way they lie to us. And how they get around the fact-checkers.
I can hear them responding to my accusation as I type:
‘It’s impossible to cover every detail of every story but the BBC makes every effort to include any which are relevant to give a balanced view.’
Pat McFadden has never had a real job. He’s actually Irish.
Did I hear that he went to parliament in 1987 ? Or was that coloured abbot … ?

It doesn’t stop there, as just last year, a group of 265 civil servants dedicated their full-time efforts to furnishing the inquiry – costing a whopping £100,000 a day and totalling £44 million when combined with legal advice.

Shutter island, smear party, bromance, expletive-laden press conference and at long last a summer dress edition

The world has spoken, the queers are coming, non-binaries for the f**king win, and I am so proud.” (The Irish Times) – the irony of supposed incitement to violence complaining non-binary pop concert performing Palestinian Hamas support getting lost somewhere thereabouts.
The FT catches the mood of our blue/red mushed to sickly elite regime purple political interchangeability: The Labour party has formed an unlikely link-up with Jeremy Hunt, the chancellor, in pressing the City watchdog to stop holding back the country’s financial services industry with allegedly excessive regulation – the FT there acts the blushing virgin wallflower pretending reluctance whilst surely fancying the pants off some renewed Gordon Brownesque light touch City financial sector bonanza?
Smear party
The globalist FT tackles the big news about the assassination attempt on the “populist” Slovak premier – with just a modest smear for his Smer party: The shooting comes at a time of deep polarisation in Slovakia. Fico, 59, founder of the populist Smer party… Eurosceptic coalition… called on the EU to lift sanctions imposed on Russia… It also wants the bloc to take tough measures against migration – can we get a “far-right” with that? Perhaps this isn’t quite the time or the place: Fico’s office said he was in a “life-threatening condition”
It’s been a while since Mr AsI, in response to some toe-curlingly bourgeoise elite view virtue-signalling Guardian headline, exclaimed: “Pass the frittata!”

(The Sun)
Credit where credit is due interlude
Mr AsI is quick to respond with a calm down dear when and where it is warrented. So it’s only fair that he gives some judicious kudos where applicable
The largely left-leaning ‘i’ in fairness does deliver the occasional mildly conservative commentary column: Society – it’s now taboo to admit loving motherhood
This comes as though in response to the miserabilist moaning in the Times: Childbirth? I am still recovering Theo Clarke – yes, that is a woman – and she’s a Tory MP – to boot (out at the next election)
But from your frontpage press reviewer and frankly conservative commentator hereabouts – who considers public services would work an awful lot better if – for example, our police and nurses wore proper uniforms once more – this is surely the best line of news he’s read for quite some time – and the best antidote to the usual prevailing rampent performative press feminism: Easy & breezy… The return of the summer dress (Telegraph)
At least all those blue labour parent MPs will have more time with their offspring / company directors / benefits claimants in a few months …

BBC Radio 2 loses more than a million listeners
More than 2.5million new listeners have joined Ken Bruce on Greatest Hits Radio
BBC Radio 2 has lost more than a million listeners as fans of its stalwart former host Ken Bruce appear to be following him to Greatest Hits Radio.
Weekly audience figures for the BBC’s most popular radio service between January and March were down by 1.23 million from 14.46 million to 13.23 million – nearly 9 per cent – on the same period last year.
Meanwhile, Greatest Hits Radio, which Bruce joined in April last year after 31 years at the BBC, has recorded a 50 per cent increase, with more than 2.5 million new listeners taking its total to 7.69 million.
The Rajar listening figures show that Greatest Hits Radio, which also counts Simon Mayo as a host, now has a larger audience than BBC Radio 1, which recorded a 266,000 drop in its audience to 7.31million.
The Radio 2 downturn comes amid claims that it has been abandoning its core older listeners in a bid for a younger audience – and continued speculation that Greatest Hits Radio is being boosted by disaffected former fans of the BBC station.
But BBC bosses could take some comfort that Radio 2 was down only slightly on the previous quarter, dropping by 53,000, according to the new figures.
Bruce’s own figures at Greatest Hits Radio give him 3.8 million listeners – a 73 per cent increase on the same period last year.
It is understood that his replacement on Radio 2, Vernon Kay, has continued to lose listeners and is now getting about 1.5 million fewer than the 8.2 million Bruce got at the BBC station.

Watch live: Sir Keir Starmer unveils Labour’s plans to ‘change Britain’
Started streaming 50 minutes ago #Labour #KeirStarmer #Starmer
Sir Keir Starmer will outline his “first steps” for government at a launch event to kickstart the next phase of Labour’s campaign for the general election.
The party leader will host the event in the potential battleground of Essex, where he will pledge to build on the five “missions” he set out last year.
Among the first steps “to change Britain” will be Labour’s pledge to deliver economic stability, cut NHS waiting times, launch a new border security command, set up publicly-owned energy firm Great British Energy, crack down on antisocial behaviour and recruit 6,500 new teachers

Just reading the update for the Slovak PM and it struck me it is quite similar to the murder of Jo Cox but in this case it is a Leftie trying to assasinate someone for their right-wing views.
The BBC said this about Jo Cox’s killer:
‘Batley and Spen MP Ms Cox was killed by far-right terrorist Mair in June 2016.’
No mention of his mental problems this time and so much for the BBC lie of not calling people terrorists. The usual gross BBC double standards.
But the interesting thing is where I found that. It was here:
Lancashire army veteran jailed for glorifying Jo Cox killer
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-manchester-68244908
Apparently he said ‘calling for “650 Thomas Mairs” and hailing the killer as a “hero”.’.
He got 2 years, 8 months in jail for being a terrorist himself !!!. Contrast that with what is totally ignored from these racist Palestinian supporters calling for Jews to be wiped out.
So lets all wait for the BBC to call this man a ‘far-Left terrorist’ to show we are all wrong and they don’t have disgusting, biased, far-Left double standards.
I wonder how long we will be waiting.
And for some reason the mysandrist MSM can never seem to mention the MAN* who was assistant to Jo Cox who was also stabbed in the process of trying to defend Jo Cox. He died a year or so later.
* MAN – someone with a cock. bBC Verify to confirm
BBC and Guardian both going with the same story: “Bibby Stockholm ‘like a prison’ for Iranian pro cyclist”
Mohammad Ganjkhanlou is claiming asylum and unhappy about being moved from his Reading hotel, because there’s nowhere to store his bike on the boat. The Home Office said he’ll be able to store it in a lock-up at the port and can still ride it. The bastards.
Well looking at his palmares which the BBC aren’t interested in… Mohammad has been riding internationally as a pro already in Japan, Thailand, Qatar, Bahrain, China and Indonesia. It’s now, after a 10yr career, that “he felt his home country of Iran was unsafe” and wants to be in the UK. Luckily he’s in touch with the BBC, The Guardian and Care4Calais who will push for better bike storage facilities for migrants because we’re all racist and can pay more tax.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz747krrw9lo
“Teenagers will be able to qualify to drive trains on Britain’s railways under new proposals.
The government is asking for views on reducing the minimum age from 20 to 18, in a consultation running until 13 June.
The number of train drivers due to retire in the next five years has prompted concerns of a shortage. Their average age at the moment is 48.”
BBC love publishing bullshit stories without question.
Like there’s going to be a shortage, for a relatively unskilled job; drivers having just turned down a 65 k pay offer.
Guess the bbc like the idea of youth inclusiveness, and that pips bashing the government for wasting our money on consultations.
Give the young kids weed for driving?
Being mindful of the teenage body clock – does that mean there’d be no trains before midday – ?

‘Boxing great Lennox Lewis is tipping “bigger guy” Tyson Fury to become undisputed world heavyweight champion by beating Oleksandr Usyk.’
After watching this scene – 20 seconds in, the bald headed guy, John Fury – Tyson’s pikey dad, decides to place a nut on the smallest member of the Usyk team…
Maybe I’ll have a bet on Oleksandr Usyk win inside the distance, 4.5 to 1.
Based on the family are clearly bleeders, could be a doctor’s stoppage or just Tyson’s crazy lifestyle in the past finally catching up with him and him gassing.
I don’t think so, Tyson looks like he’s really trained for this fight. He can’t take Usyk lightly. If he has he’ll be in big trouble…
However, his dad is a national embarrassment. A complete pillock.
Anyway, despite his uncouth and volatile entourage, I rather like Tyson…and we’ve not had a decent heavyweight since…um…
So…I take Tyson on a points win.
Mind you, I backed Fulham to win the Premiership…
The only way that the BBC and the Labour party can
be defeated . And my hard working constituency MP
Theresa Villiers can retain her seat . Is to take a book out
of what happened at the Eurovision Song Contest.
The BBC backed Jury gave Israel NUL points but the
“silent” majority gave Israel 12 points.
Sunak can get from NUL to 12. By stopping the pro Hamas
marches. Which the great majority of the public are sick off.
And more important STOPPING the boats crossing the channel. We stopped
Hitler crossing the channel. Even with our under strength
navy, Surely they could stop this curse.
Denmark and now Holland are basically telling the EU
to F**K off with their woke humane rights policy.
If Sunak showed the same courage as them. The silent
majority in the UK could still give him 12 points !!
Rishi says when he goes to the USA with his Green Card he will tell them how he saved the UK from being racist and drink with Harry and Meghan at an awards ceremony celebrating Nigerian space technologies.
I not sure Sunak care about points or anything similar.
He was given the opportunity to marry a rich bride by the globalists, with the understanding he’d be in their debt.
The payback was he’d become their puppet prime minister for a while.

Tomo – being a weird teenagers ( never changed ) I hoovered up all of the Watergate Stuff .. I still think Nixon was a good president but the election he lost against the preppy Jack Kennedy had a big impact …
Politics is dirty and the way watergate rolled out is sort of being replicated in the persecution of Trump … as well as the fraudulent election of dementia man
The video was too long for me even at x2 speed – but it was weird going to DC for the first time and visiting the Watergate building …….
You might want to rethink that as Nixon took the US off the Gold Standard which has led to all kinds of catastrophic debt issues.
Without this catastrophic decision Socialist governments would not have been able to squander ridiculous amounts of money, and it is the reason why we are all headed into an economic abyss.
Nixon also visited China, and opened it up to external trade, this led to globalisation and the deindustrialisation of the West.
With regards to Nixon, he would never have been caught though if he hadn’t recorded everything on tape.
Yes those are fair points . I still think he got the do do end of the stick over the corrupt Kennedy Clan …

It reminded me of the loon democrat who claimed to be a red indian – but turned out to have .5% Cherokee in her ( oo matron ) …
Does it make Meghan just 46% fraudster stock ? …
46% accounts for the dishonesty, race baiting, delusionary and scamming that is the hallmark of Nigeria.
Harry – I still don’t get the 46% thing – did she have a DNA test showing 46% African genes ? Does that make the offspring 23% Nigerian .
It strikes as a sort of worst case racism .. she is a yank – a mongrel – yet trades on colour … as some sort of marketing label .. she was good in ‘suits ‘ though – currently being repeated on the BBC . I saw it first time round buried on C5 – the first 2 series were very good – but she made the tea ..
With you on that, just going on her parents her father is 100% white he gives her 50% now her mother has white ancestry as she’s no where near full on black more coffee colour to me just looking there’s at least 10- 15% Caucasian there. Where that figure of 43% comes from I’ve no idea. It makes me think of those 7th generation Irish Americans, no you’re not Irish you’re American.
