Was it a hostile government attack? (The Chinese, Russians or ours)
On X there’s a new group started called biased bbc. I thought it might be something to do with us.
Maybe it could be used as an information place in case of other blackouts (or is that ‘outs of colour)
As a geek I work in the whole sphere of webservers etc etc I thought I would provide my impression of what might have happened.
A quick primer….
Websites are hosted on any one of numerous servers spread around the globe, these website respond to incoming requests to their particular what are called IP addresses. IP’s are composed of four sets of numbers from 0 to 255 so for instance something like 27.233.167.100 might be one.
You can think of these as the telephone number of the server and the websites as people who live on that server as it were.
However when you enter a website URL such as https://www.biased.bbc.tv in your browser it has no idea where this might go to so it passes the domain name to what are called Global name servers. You can think of these as telephone directories that pair the website domain name eg. biasedbbc.tv with its registered web server IP address and subsequently forward the request on to the correct web server to be resolved to a particular website.
I found that during the outage Tuesday of this site my browser was reporting that no record could be found for the domain on any global name server as if it never existed so it would be unable to route the request to the correct server. A very, very unusual event!
To me this suggests that there was probably nothing wrong at all with the site or its web server or database server but rather a very, very unusual circumstance at global nameserver level.
Without accessing the nameserver log files it’s impossible to say why they lost or dropped the domain records.
My guess would be that once alerted to the problem, the web hosting company would make some sort of enquiry and the name servers would have then restored the DNS records thus restoring the route from browser to website.
It did cross my kind that we had been hacked or Starmer had took umbridge at us taking pot shots and their generous benefactor the BBC. Apparently the envy of the world, like the Post Office and NHS.
Yes at 1pm UK time I started to get an error message that said the domain was no longer registered
I see that didn’t happen to all providers at the same time , So some people were still able to post 2 hours later.

If you like to read about a bunch of people of a certain dark skinned racial characteristic have a massive bleat about the difficulties of living in a predominately white country and going to an elite school then this is for you….
No attempt to balance this with any comments from the “white folk” which is so unsurprising as to be normal.
This totally manufactured TV crap has been made solely to try to drive the colour wedge by the BBC and is despicable.
How I hate this divisive manufactured lying crap from our national broadcaster.
Of course it’s all fiction but the desire to make it all about whitey doing down blackie has to be the central tenet even though it largely exists only in the minds of the supposedly oppressed people of colour.
If you like to watch a show about a bunch of people of a certain dark skinned racial characteristic having a massive bleat about the difficulties of living in a predominately white country and going to an elite school then this is for you….

Beeboid stuff all over it like leprosy, so one to ignore, but presumably, the ‘chuff chuff’ between Oxford and Cambridge will get built – or will it? It seems that the rail companies have ideas about that too, as the ‘link’ will not be finished until 2030, (therefore several years later)! Labour will be long gone by then…
Reeves will be back in the stationary cupboard long before then, trying to understand who was actually going to pay for all this new stuff!

A very prescient comment by Carl Sagan regarding the new World of science being run by people who are ignorant of science. Especially relevant in the era of supposed man made global warming.
Server issue, a second one in short order. Are we sure there are no malign agencies at work? I say that because all me recent postings vanished without trace last week.
What may have prompted it was an attack on the promotion of the ‘metereologist’ Jim Dale by the BBC. I questioned JD’s qualifications. So there we are. The fact that my posts completely disappeared must mean a very high leevel of access to biased BBC data.
Flotsam – may well be right . As I wrote to you – i could find no sign of the lost postings / deletions .
As for technical trouble – who knows – my access to the deeper bit of the thing that builds this site is limited – and I don’t know anyone who does ….but as they say – it is what it is …..
I think it is inevitable that this site will be closed down by the Marxist state sooner rather than later ….
What none of us should forget is the intensity of the belief that some people have in the ‘climate catastrophe’. It’s become the new cult religion, people who question it are treated as emissaries of Satan. I contribute to an outdoor pursuit forum, I posted something questioning the BBC/Climate Catastrophe agenda. I was taken aback by the ferocity and numbers that attacked me, should I have been surprised? What was clear is that many of the contributors were younger people, poor grammar and spelling, probably University educated. They are well and truly hooked into the cult.
Brissles – an interesting idea – maybe a ‘general declaration ‘ that shouid this site disappear those ‘engaged ‘ on the subject meet up on – say the next Saturday at a central British location … but all must wear the same piece of clothing …..
Meanwhile … yesterday sky news announced it is pulling out TV and going onto the internet … would be something if it would start behaving like sky Australia – or even Fox – which have both been hugely entertaining for the last 10 days – hannity and Jesse watters – who turn up every day on YouTube for their monologues are also far more entertaining than anything on UK TV …- discounting GBnews which I gave up on …
“He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past”. My criticism of Orwell was that he used too many words. It would have been briefer and more prescient to write “he who controls language controls the future”. (Shortly the fact that I have not defined “he” will be an arrestable offence)
Control the language – control the thinking.
……………………..
Orwell believed that totalitarian systems control language in order to prevent their citizens from expressing or thinking rebellious thoughts, writing ‘If thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought’.
Yesterday there were predicted population numbers published saying that in coming years the population of the UK will go up because of the arrival of criminals . The British – white -population – breeding – will continue falling .

A DWP spokesman said: ‘There are fewer than 1,000 polygamous marriages in the UK and only a small percentage of these are claiming social security benefit.
The woke Royal Navy is changing the name of the new
submarine from HMS Agincourt to HMS Achilles apparently
to placate the French. I wouldn’t be surprised if our Emir
in London took note and changed the name of Waterloo
train station to Austerlitz . And further to placate others
from our “diverse” city. rename the rail link between
Thamesmead to Battersea and Chelsea. From the ” River
the the sea line” I am sure the BBC would approve.
An Achilles’ heel is a weakness or fault in a person or system that can lead to failure. The term comes from Greek mythology, where Achilles had a weak spot in his heel.

The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance, thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance.
The new girl – unusually – rips apart some Marxist treasury MP over the ‘plan for growth ‘…. He was hopeless – bigger airports – an Oxford -Cambridge – nonsense taking decades when there needs to be growth now – by cutting taxes and the costs of employees . The Marxist was the hopeless business Secretary – Jonathan Reynolds MP
He hasn’t even got the brains to be a Marxist. He’s just a dunce who toes the party line. It’s worked out quite well for him, as he’d be nothing outside the Labour Party, the party for people who have never done a day’s labour in their lives.
That genius – idris – has recommended that in order to reduce coloured boys killing people – kitchen knifes shouid have the point filed off …. I’d go further – make kitchen knifes from cardboard ….
Apparently the BBC has commissioned a documentary with idris on knife crime …can’t imagine too many coloured folk watching it …
I wonder how idris would deal with the welch choir boy who – sadly – is still alive …

The Foreign Secretary congratulated Secretary Rubio on his appointment as Secretary of State and the pair discussed their shared links to the Caribbean, with the Foreign Secretary’s family ties to Guyana and Secretary Rubio’s family links to Cuba.
They both welcomed the opportunity for the UK and the US to work together in alignment to address shared challenges including the situation in the Middle East, Russia’s illegal war in Ukraine, the challenges posed by China and the need for Indo-Pacific security.
The pair said they looked forward to working together and to meeting in person soon.

Our BBC goes big on Rachel from accounts big idea that she will reinvent the new super duper computer – and that will somehow create millions of jobs here in Blighty and make us all rich.
Reeves will set out several projects aimed at boosting growth and will also focus on development between Oxford and Cambridge to create a “Silicon Valley of Europe” (BBC)
At first glance all she’s promising are a few tax payer subsidised electric car recharging points and expansion of Heathrow airport.
Mind you, more capacity in the arrivals terminal might be handy: 10 million immigrants in a decade… UK population forecast… (i news); Migration puts UK population over France… projected to hit 72.5 million by 2032, entirely fuelled by a 4.9 million increase in net migration (Telegraph); Population to grow 5 million in a decade thanks to migration (Times); 10 million move here in 10 years (The Sun) – the tabloid red top helpfully explains the anomaly between five and ten: Ten million immigrants will enter the UK within a decade… After departures are factored in, the population will rise by about five million (The Sun)
Go figure
Now here’s a conundrum… apparently, millions (5 in fact) of, let’s say, “UK residents” will consider this country is becoming rather a poor prospect and swan off to pastures new to seek their fortunes. Whereas, apparently, twice as many folks (10 million they reckon) – from who knows where – are planning to up sticks and try their luck in Britain.
Sounds to me like a Two-Tier future prospectus for Britain.
I’m reminded of the words of Donald Trump on the subject of recent immigrants to the US: “And Some, I Assume, Are Good People:”
Absolutely, positively, 100% definitely nothing at all to worry about here folks! What could possibly go wrong? – the jokey blokey Daily Star is of course fretting about: Now psycho scumbag chatbots learn to CLONE themselves… amid fears they will go rogue
Set in Chicago in 2035, highly intelligent robots fill public service positions throughout the world, operating under three laws to keep humans safe… “I, Robot” was a 2004 American science fiction action film directed by Alex Proyas. The screenplay is based on Isaac Asimov’s 1950 short-story collection. The film stars Will Smith (Thank you Wiki)

The chancellor is also expected to make other infrastructure announcements, including boosting the area between Oxford and Cambridge, and London.

When clever British people invent something either the yanks or Chinese take it and make the money – and Britain has a great tradition of undermining the clever – refer to them as ‘boffins’ or anoraks or geeks – enough to put plenty of clever kids off and want to become useless lawyers or journos instead …

AISI, I reckon the UK has a population more like 79 million – now in 2025. I reckon those ONS figures are false, just like a pair of boobs on a drag queen.
It’s clear that Labour see the BBC as it’s weapon of choice. It’s a ludicrous idea that we should all pay Gary Lineker’s et all ridiculous wages with Council Tax precepts or paying to use subscription services like Netflix. We’re being softened up for something, perhaps an internet data Tax, we’re already paying VAT for the privilege.
The fact is that the Tories did nothing about the BBC , the reasons might have been the Pension deficit or perhaps they were worried about a Civil Service pushback and a BBC propaganda campaign.
Legal powers used under the royal prerogative are those which do not require parliamentary authority. Historically, these executive, legislative and judicial powers would have been exercised by a monarch directly but, over time, the majority have been abolished, delegated to ministers or replaced by statute. Some, however, remain, for example the dissolution of Parliament or the prerogative of mercy. Most are guided by constitutional conventions and what is known as ministerial advice.
…. THE KING CAN FREE THOSE WHO TWEETED AND GOT 2 YEARTS JAIL ….
In the English and British tradition, the royal prerogative of mercy is one of the historic royal prerogatives of the British monarch, by which they can grant pardons (informally known as a royal pardon) to convicted persons.
You know – rather than having idris do a ‘documentary’ on knife crime – they’d do better using that AI thing to digest all those knife crime details and ‘profile ‘ the criminals … but it would turn out ‘racist ‘,and ‘labelling ‘ – same with rape gangs
Btw – the Muslim ‘association ‘ within the home office and across the civil service hadn’t got much – any – mention in the MSM ….. passively watching the UK slide towards a Muslim nuclear state ….why not call the submarine HMS Mohammed ? Bet Charles Windsor would like that …

I am learning to like the BBC in a small way. So hilarious at times least expected. The comedy is overwhelming, I find myself regularly chuckling often.
When R4 interviews a guest, a guest that has already been vetted before the interview for their Marxist / Leftist views in accordance with the BBC’s position, they often allow that guest to ramble on uncontested/unchallenged. Today (no pun intended) was no exception for todays gem. They interviewed some clown who proffered the intellectual suggestion authoritatively, that knives should be sold with no tips………………… Yes, (chuckle, chuckle). The interviewer, during this interviewee rambling period, did not dive in/interrupt to suggest that not all knife wielding people use a knife for solely thrusting into other human beings. No, they randomly slash using the cutting edge as well. Interviewer should have intervened to continue the interviewee’s line of ‘reasoning’ by suggesting that for fullness, knives should be sold lacking tips and sharp blades as well………………..
Where is the Home Office legislators when you need them?
– Held my breath this morning whilst I clicked on the site …..what a relief !
I’ve listened and read some of the nonsensical suggestions that we might remove the point from knives to make them safer.
Idris says “Not all kitchen knives need to have a point on them, that sounds like a crazy thing to say,” – but you can still cut your food without the point on your knife, which is an innovative way to look at it.”
FORKS – Meta Mandate : Parts of a Fork:
The points of a fork are the ends of its tines. In most cases, fork points aren’t sharp at all. This is to make sure THERE ARE NO ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES AT DINNER
Maybe Idris has a ‘point’ ….. So that’s why they use knives and not forks
NO Idris, These morons will get a knife from any source they can . You simply can not remove the sharp edges and points on all knives just in case some idiot decides to plunge it into someone’s body to harm or kill them – (that once over would be a totally absurd and needless comment to make) There are military knives, surgical knives, all craftmen’s knives, numerous chefs knives, fishing /filleting knives, butchers knives, hunting knives, gardening knives etc. etc. etc.
G
It’s funny because every so often a loon comes up with a knife idea . I recall a liberal MP suggesting every knife shouid be ‘chipped ‘ – I mean – really ? Now idris wants knives licences and de pointed … – I mean – really ?
Our fiscal rules are non-negotiable and will apply to every decision taken by a Labour government. This means that the current budget must move into balance, so that day-to-day costs are met by revenues and debt must be falling as a share of the economy by the fifth year of the forecast.

MarkyMark. I can tell you that Windmills have brakes that kick in on any Gusts over 55mph. So we have no power during Storms or strong Gusts over 55mph. In addition the Windmills do not operate unless the wind is over 8mph. If that is not bad enough, the Windmill owners get paid if the wind does not blow and also if the brakes are applied and no power generated. Life of a Windmill is just 25 years on Land and lot less at sea. None of them are net zero to make and most are Chinese made.

Government admits: ‘We’ve lost track of 40,000 illegal immigrants’

An official report revealed that 10,000 cases have dropped off the Home Office radar or gone on the run and their whereabouts are currently unknown.
And caseworkers told official inspectors that 30,000 asylum seekers had also stayed here long after their last avenue for appeal was exhausted.

“Police have received hundreds of reports of child sexual abuse in high street hotel chains, data shared exclusively with BBC News shows.”
BBC now interested in child rape but only a certain kind: “Under the name Operation Makesafe, hotel staff have been trained to identify signs of sexual exploitation and told how to report issues to the police.” Well yes, except they leave out the bit about Operation Makesafe’s remit covering “the business community, such as hotels, licensed premises, taxi companies, shops, and care homes.”
BBC not keen to look at what goes on in taxis or above kebab shops, so let’s all focus on hotels. Ban Travelodges?

Idris Elba: ‘It sounds crazy, but not all kitchen knives need a point on them’ – you guessed it, he’s black – which would seem to be the basic qualification required for talking about knife crime on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.

Here’s slippery Mandy doing a bit of grovelling towards Trump. What he wouldn’t do for a cushy ambassadorship, eh?
It’s a start but not nearly enough. We want full length prostrations on a filthy floor, or at the every least some knee-taking.
Note that you can’t see his hands, so presumably his fingers are crossed.
Note too that, although he starts with a sort-of apology, he quickly qualifies it with the statement that “times and attitudes towards the President have changed since then”.
So he’s sort of saying that he wasn’t really wrong then, or now, but ‘times have changed’.
Oleaginous doesn’t begin to describe the slimy reptile.

Islam will soon collapse under the weight of its own lies… at about the same time it takes over the UK.

Surely one way of approaching the speeder issue is via the vehicles themselves. There is no valid reason why any motor vehicle should be capable of more than 70mph for a start so loading tax on new vehicles so that the purchase price tax rose by say 500 quid for every mph over 70 would be a start.
Then raising the speeding fines to say 500 quid for every 5mph over the limit with automatic bans for over 80mph for say 5 years and life bans for over 90mph would sort it out in no time, I can guarantee that this would work 100% .

As a geek I work in the whole sphere of webservers etc etc I thought I would provide my impression of what might have happened.
A quick primer….
Websites are hosted on any one of numerous servers spread around the globe, these website respond to incoming requests to their particular what are called IP addresses. IP’s are composed of four sets of numbers from 0 to 255 so for instance something like 27.233.167.100 might be one.
You can think of these as the telephone number of the server and the websites as people who live on that server as it were.
However when you enter a website URL such as https://www.biased.bbc.tv in your browser it has no idea where this might go to so it passes the domain name to what are called Global name servers. You can think of these as telephone directories that pair the website domain name eg. biasedbbc.tv with its registered web server IP address and subsequently forward the request on to the correct web server to be resolved to a particular website.
I found that during the outage Tuesday of this site my browser was reporting that no record could be found for the domain on any global name server as if it never existed so it would be unable to route the request to the correct server. A very, very unusual event!
To me this suggests that there was probably nothing wrong at all with the site or its web server or database server but rather a very, very unusual circumstance at global nameserver level.
Without accessing the nameserver log files it’s impossible to say why they lost or dropped the domain records.
My guess would be that once alerted to the problem, the web hosting company would make some sort of enquiry and the name servers would have then restored the DNS records thus restoring the route from browser to website.
That’s my tenpennorth!

This totally manufactured TV crap has been made solely to try to drive the colour wedge by the BBC and is despicable.
How I hate this divisive manufactured lying crap from our national broadcaster.
Of course it’s all fiction but the desire to make it all about whitey doing down blackie has to be the central tenet even though it largely exists only in the minds of the supposedly oppressed people of colour.

Our BBC goes big on Rachel from accounts big idea that she will reinvent the new super duper computer – and that will somehow create millions of jobs here in Blighty and make us all rich.
Reeves will set out several projects aimed at boosting growth and will also focus on development between Oxford and Cambridge to create a “Silicon Valley of Europe” (BBC)
At first glance all she’s promising are a few tax payer subsidised electric car recharging points and expansion of Heathrow airport.
Mind you, more capacity in the arrivals terminal might be handy: 10 million immigrants in a decade… UK population forecast… (i news); Migration puts UK population over France… projected to hit 72.5 million by 2032, entirely fuelled by a 4.9 million increase in net migration (Telegraph); Population to grow 5 million in a decade thanks to migration (Times); 10 million move here in 10 years (The Sun) – the tabloid red top helpfully explains the anomaly between five and ten: Ten million immigrants will enter the UK within a decade… After departures are factored in, the population will rise by about five million (The Sun)
Go figure
Now here’s a conundrum… apparently, millions (5 in fact) of, let’s say, “UK residents” will consider this country is becoming rather a poor prospect and swan off to pastures new to seek their fortunes. Whereas, apparently, twice as many folks (10 million they reckon) – from who knows where – are planning to up sticks and try their luck in Britain.
Sounds to me like a Two-Tier future prospectus for Britain.
I’m reminded of the words of Donald Trump on the subject of recent immigrants to the US: “And Some, I Assume, Are Good People:”
Absolutely, positively, 100% definitely nothing at all to worry about here folks! What could possibly go wrong? – the jokey blokey Daily Star is of course fretting about: Now psycho scumbag chatbots learn to CLONE themselves… amid fears they will go rogue
Set in Chicago in 2035, highly intelligent robots fill public service positions throughout the world, operating under three laws to keep humans safe… “I, Robot” was a 2004 American science fiction action film directed by Alex Proyas. The screenplay is based on Isaac Asimov’s 1950 short-story collection. The film stars Will Smith (Thank you Wiki)
Sometimes these segueways write themselves…
The chancellor is also expected to make other infrastructure announcements, including boosting the area between Oxford and Cambridge, and London. The government wants to make this area England’s answer to Silicon Valley, the part of California that is home to tech giants including Apple, Amazon, Google and Facebook. (BBC) – presumably Apple, Amazon, Google and Facebook are now our friends – just so long as they keep us safe, eh?
I see Charles is holding his manhood cheap: King said ‘non’ to Agincourt… vetoed a new Navy submarine being called HMS Agincourt to avoid upsetting the French (Express)
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day. (Henry V, Act IV, Scene III)

It’s clear that Labour see the BBC as it’s weapon of choice. It’s a ludicrous idea that we should all pay Gary Lineker’s et all ridiculous wages with Council Tax precepts or paying to use subscription services like Netflix. We’re being softened up for something, perhaps an internet data Tax, we’re already paying VAT for the privilege.
The fact is that the Tories did nothing about the BBC , the reasons might have been the Pension deficit or perhaps they were worried about a Civil Service pushback and a BBC propaganda campaign.

Legal powers used under the royal prerogative are those which do not require parliamentary authority. Historically, these executive, legislative and judicial powers would have been exercised by a monarch directly but, over time, the majority have been abolished, delegated to ministers or replaced by statute. Some, however, remain, for example the dissolution of Parliament or the prerogative of mercy. Most are guided by constitutional conventions and what is known as ministerial advice.

I am learning to like the BBC in a small way. So hilarious at times least expected. The comedy is overwhelming, I find myself regularly chuckling often.
When R4 interviews a guest, a guest that has already been vetted before the interview for their Marxist / Leftist views in accordance with the BBC’s position, they often allow that guest to ramble on uncontested/unchallenged. Today (no pun intended) was no exception for todays gem. They interviewed some clown who proffered the intellectual suggestion authoritatively, that knives should be sold with no tips………………… Yes, (chuckle, chuckle). The interviewer, during this interviewee rambling period, did not dive in/interrupt to suggest that not all knife wielding people use a knife for solely thrusting into other human beings. No, they randomly slash using the cutting edge as well. Interviewer should have intervened to continue the interviewee’s line of ‘reasoning’ by suggesting that for fullness, knives should be sold lacking tips and sharp blades as well………………..

Idris says “Not all kitchen knives need to have a point on them, that sounds like a crazy thing to say,” – but you can still cut your food without the point on your knife, which is an innovative way to look at it.”
FORKS – Meta Mandate : Parts of a Fork:
The points of a fork are the ends of its tines. In most cases, fork points aren’t sharp at all. This is to make sure THERE ARE NO ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES AT DINNER
Maybe Idris has a ‘point’ ….. So that’s why they use knives and not forks
NO Idris, These morons will get a knife from any source they can . You simply can not remove the sharp edges and points on all knives just in case some idiot decides to plunge it into someone’s body to harm or kill them – (that once over would be a totally absurd and needless comment to make) There are military knives, surgical knives, all craftmen’s knives, numerous chefs knives, fishing /filleting knives, butchers knives, hunting knives, gardening knives etc. etc. etc.

MarkyMark. I can tell you that Windmills have brakes that kick in on any Gusts over 55mph. So we have no power during Storms or strong Gusts over 55mph. In addition the Windmills do not operate unless the wind is over 8mph. If that is not bad enough, the Windmill owners get paid if the wind does not blow and also if the brakes are applied and no power generated. Life of a Windmill is just 25 years on Land and lot less at sea. None of them are net zero to make and most are Chinese made.

Government admits: ‘We’ve lost track of 40,000 illegal immigrants’
BRITAIN’S chaotic asylum system was exposed by a Government admission yesterday that it has lost track of tens of thousands of migrants.
By Alison Little Deputy Political
An official report revealed that 10,000 cases have dropped off the Home Office radar or gone on the run and their whereabouts are currently unknown.
And caseworkers told official inspectors that 30,000 asylum seekers had also stayed here long after their last avenue for appeal was exhausted.

“Police have received hundreds of reports of child sexual abuse in high street hotel chains, data shared exclusively with BBC News shows.”
BBC now interested in child rape but only a certain kind: “Under the name Operation Makesafe, hotel staff have been trained to identify signs of sexual exploitation and told how to report issues to the police.” Well yes, except they leave out the bit about Operation Makesafe’s remit covering “the business community, such as hotels, licensed premises, taxi companies, shops, and care homes.”
BBC not keen to look at what goes on in taxis or above kebab shops, so let’s all focus on hotels. Ban Travelodges?

Last night there was no snow, heavy rain or strong wind (or any wind at all for that matter). Suddenly the electricity went off, no warning, none of the usual little flicker before all went black. It just went black.
After we had got out the candles and the gas camping light and had got comfortable, the lights came on again. Then Mr D announced we had no mains water.
Is this preparation for what is to come, or is it already here?

Here’s slippery Mandy doing a bit of grovelling towards Trump. What he wouldn’t do for a cushy ambassadorship, eh?
It’s a start but not nearly enough. We want full length prostrations on a filthy floor, or at the every least some knee-taking.
Note that you can’t see his hands, so presumably his fingers are crossed.
Note too that, although he starts with a sort-of apology, he quickly qualifies it with the statement that “times and attitudes towards the President have changed since then”.
So he’s sort of saying that he wasn’t really wrong then, or now, but ‘times have changed’.
Oleaginous doesn’t begin to describe the slimy reptile.
What a crying shame it’s not Farage.

Police to kneel and wear high heels to end the speeding on roads – plus monitor twitter more …
“Drivers have been recorded travelling at 164mph (264km/h) on Britain’s roads, prompting a warning from police for people to stop being so selfish and to realise speed kills.”

Surely one way of approaching the speeder issue is via the vehicles themselves. There is no valid reason why any motor vehicle should be capable of more than 70mph for a start so loading tax on new vehicles so that the purchase price tax rose by say 500 quid for every mph over 70 would be a start.
Then raising the speeding fines to say 500 quid for every 5mph over the limit with automatic bans for over 80mph for say 5 years and life bans for over 90mph would sort it out in no time, I can guarantee that this would work 100% .
