    Not quite sure why she would be using her phone while scanning her shopping. And they don’t look like any scanning machines I’ve ever seen. Obviously yet another fake picture from Getty willingly used by another BBC idiot just because it has a black woman in it.

    I was in the local Asda last week and I counted one black person in there. How come every BBC story about anything has about 75% black people.

    Are they racists ?.

    The German stabbing suspect has been identified and named.
    But not by the BBC, of course.
    His name? Issa Al H, an “asylum seeker” from Syria.

    It’s funny isn’t it how ISIS always seem to take a few years off, and then they are back with a bang? Almost as if they were all sick with the Covaids and in self-isolation for a few years. All the world’s a stage, and nothing is what it seems.

    SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT…..

    I was delighted to hear Alan Johnson, you must remember him, New Labour…held numerous posts in the Cabinet under Blair and Brown, including S of S for Work and pensions, Health, Trade and Industry and more. This is a chap who knows his stuff, bags of experience ,etc,etc.

    Anyway, he was asked by the BBC what he thought about the “new” means assessment for winter fuel allowance…..well, quick as a flash Alan said ” I’m glad to put the record straight” he was very clear ( and of course, not interupted) that he didn’t need such an allowance and he was sure that neither did his friends, who he had served in various administrations with, need theirs .
    He quite rightly added that he didn’t think the King needed his..
    l for one, have found his clarity extremely helpful and will sleep easier because of it ….
    So thanks Alan for clearing that up…he always was such a man of the people..

      Friend – it’s sad that the ‘system ‘ isn’t able to target such help better . Mr Johnson deserves his place in hell for such a reply – but that’s the swamp talking .

      Somewhere along the line – as these characters get a sniff of power and money -they lose the concept of living on the edge .

      I don’t live on the edge – I learnt along time ago to set targets to achieve financial independence – but I know there are plenty unable to do this – the breeders breed without regard for the provision for their families – it’s always there…

      … but those making do are going to be hammered by the shortfall – the welfare they have got used to .

      But it shows the world we live – blue labour threw £900 last year at anyone on benefits – plus the winter fuel – ok borrowed money – acting like reds . Now reds act like blue – announcing something with 4 months notice.

      Is it a ploy ? Does Rachel cancel the change in October and steal the money from somewhere else to pay for it ? Number 10 is so mad it might think it’s a good idea – but the reality will be ‘strong chancellor goes weak ‘.

      Can we get to 2029 please ?

    Muslim slams plate in womans face, nothing done by police

    “Nando’s waitress hit with a plate in ‘unprovoked’ attack in London restaurant breaks her silence and claims she was ‘grossly let down’ by police. As the Nando’s server places a plate of food on his table, CCTV captures the moment the male thug lashes out and slaps her across the face with a dinner plate.

    The force of the brutal blow sends the stunned waitress flying backwards, leaving her holding her face, as horrified diners nearby turn around to watch the drama. ”

    ” The police were present at the time, I reported it to them and they let him go without taking his details or checking the CCTV. I filed a complaint against the officers and their supervisor got back to me and essentially said “they’re humans and made a mistake”.’

    A spokesman told MailOnline: ‘A report of assault was made to police at the time of the incident, however, it appears this was not progressed promptly by officers. We are working to establish why this happened and accept this is not the level of service Londoners should rightfully expect from the Met.

      From 2011:

      Egypt Destroying Churches, One at a Time
      Muslim Brotherhood: “No More Churches”

      “What clearer sign that Egypt is turning rabidly Islamist than the fact that hardly a week goes by without a church being destroyed, or without protesting Christians being attacked and slaughtered by the military?

      The latest chaos in Egypt—where the military opened fire on unarmed protesters, and ran armored vehicles over them— killing 35 and injuring over 300, with the count still rising –originated in Edfu, a onetime tourist destination renowned for its pharaonic antiquities, but now known as the latest region to see a church destroyed by a Muslim mob.

      This destruction, which spurred the unrest in Egypt, is itself eye-opening as to the situation in Egypt. To sum it up, St. George Coptic church, built nearly a century ago, was so dilapidated that the local council and governor of Aswan approved renovating it, and signed off on the design.

      It was not long before local Muslims began complaining and making various demands, including that the church be devoid of crosses and bells—even though the permit had approved them—citing that “the Cross irritates Muslims and their children.”

      Coptic leaders had no choice but to acquiesce, “pointing to the fact that the church was rebuilt legally, and any concessions on the part of the church was done for the love for the country, which is passing through a difficult phase.”

      Acquiescence breeds more demands: Muslim leaders next insisted that the very dome of the church be removed—so that the building might not even resemble a church—and that it be referred to as a “hospitality home.” Stating that removing the dome would. Most likely collapse the church, the bishop refused.

      The cries of “Allahu Akbar!” began: Muslims threatened to raze the church and build a mosque in its place; Copts were “forbidden to leave their homes or buy food until they remove the dome of St. George’s Church;” many starved for weeks.

      Then, after Friday prayers on Sept. 30, some three thousand Muslims rampaged through the church, torched it, and demolished the dome; flames from the wreckage burned nearby Coptic homes, which were further ransacked by rioting Muslims.

      This account of anti-church sentiment in Egypt leads to several sad conclusions:

      Animosity toward churches; demands that they be left to crumble; demands to remove crosses and stifle bells; are an integral part of Islamic history and dogma. The fact that church attacks in Egypt always occur on a Friday, Islam’s “holy day,” and are always accompanied by religious cries of “Allahu Akbar!” should be evidence enough of the Islamist context of these attacks.

      Because there was a lull in this animosity from the colonial era to just a few decades ago, most Westerners incorrectly assume that in Islamic history church toleration is the rule, not the exception. Unfortunately Islamic tolerance toward churches has more frequently been draconian, and is back: “The Muslim Brotherhood announced immediately after the revolution that it is impossible to build any new church in Egypt, and churches which are demolished should never be rebuilt, as well as no crosses over churches or bells to be rung.”

      This is also why Muslim authorities are complacent, and even complicit. According to witnesses, security forces, which were present during the Edfu attack, “stood there watching.” Worse, Edfu’s Intelligence Unit chief was seen directing the mob destroying the church.

      As for the governor of Aswan, he appeared on State TV and “denied any church being torched,” calling it, instead, a “guest home” — a common tactic to excuse the destruction of churches. He even justified the incident: Arguing that the church contractor made the building three meters higher than he permitted, he declared that “Copts made a mistake and had to be punished, and Muslims did nothing but set things right, end of story.”

      Equally telling is the fact that perpetrators of church attacks are seldom if ever punished. Even if sometimes the most rabid church-destroying Muslims get “detained,” it is usually for show: they are released in days, and hailed back home as heroes — a practise that also goes back to Muslim dogma, which sides with Muslims over infidels.

      This year alone has seen the New Year church attack, which left 23 dead; the destruction of the ancient church of Sool, when Muslims “played soccer” with its relics; the Imbaba attacks, where several churches were set aflame; and now Edfu, wherein, as usual “none of the attackers were arrested.”

      Indeed, three days after Edfu, Muslims attacked yet another church.

      Aware that they are untouchable, at least when it comes to making infidel Christians miserable, anti-Christian Muslims have a simple strategy: destroy churches, even if one at a time, safe in the knowledge that not only will they never be prosecuted, but also that Egypt’s military and security apparatus will punish the infidel victims should they dare to protest.

      What the far-left idiot faield to understand is that the murder and rape rates of our imported enrichment are vastly greater in proportion to their actual numbers.

      Actually I’m not quite correct there. People like maxi DO realise, but they are such liars and/or hypocrites they pretend otherwise.

      And I despise liars without conscience.

      How will the Germans react to this? Do they get collective memory loss and add it to the list of other Islamic attacks ?

      Do they get the media propaganda lies ‘mental issues ‘?

      Or – when the victims are identified and the Christian burials take place – do the ordinary people protest?

      Will they get the starmer new model army treatment as well ?

      Obama is the perfect Leftie. He is truly ruthless when you scrape off his standard left-wing veneer of hypocrisy. I was not surprised one bit that they tried to assasinate Trump after all other avenues of removing him had failed. It was just too much of a coincidence to be anything else. The timing, the mistakes by the Secret Service and their leader who was clearly appointed for other reasons than ability.
