The BBC is determined to ask every supporter of Zionism if Zionism is racism. Unfortunately it can't ask the victims of Zionism because they were all killed by Israel.

BBC re-running their headlines from 3 years ago when Sunak released 10,000 prisoners early over 6 months....oh wait, no, that went off without a media fuss. Labour are releasing up to 5,000 early over a year - due to Tory failure to build prison capacity. They only built 36 net new places a year.

“The question is not whether we can afford to remain within the Convention [ECHR]. It is whether, in an increasingly dangerous world, we can afford not to” Political liars and lightweights, like Badenoch and Farage, must never be allowed to take that risk. www.lawgazette.co.uk/commentary-a...
The Law Society
Gazette

In short, if Britain were to leave the ECHR, it would not be
'taking back control. It would be surrendering influence over the rules and institutions that help keep us safe.
The debate about the ECHR is too often conducted as though it were a choice between national sovereignty and international law. That is a false choice.
The Convention advances British interests because it reflects British values: liberty under law, democratic government and the accountability of power.
Walking away would not make Britain freer. It would make Britain weaker.

Surely it is time for the authorities to take this Fairford terrorism case out of the hands of the police & pass it over to Nigel Farage, Richard Tice & Isabel Oakeshott etc. These people have the expertise & skills to have this all solved & explained to the public by tonight.👍

The rise in small boat crossings was entirely due to Brexit, promoted by Nigel Farage, and the deal done by Boris Johnson Their attempts to shift blame to anyone else is utterly despicable hypocrisy

I must say I’m very disappointed in the police over their dealing with the RAF Fairford incident. By announcing that the suspects are British nationals, they have completely undermined the stream of made up bollocks from myself and every other right wing gobshite on Twitter.

Nigel Farage has demanded that the identities of the RAF Fairford suspects be released, saying the public "deserve to be told the truth". Yes they do Mr Farage, and that is something you and your party could take forward. As an aside, how stupid would he look if Putin is in any way implicated?

What’s your legacy Johnson? Brexit. Total collapse of trust in politics. And this. The small boats symbolise your dishonesty and your failure. You’re responsible for nothing but damage. Not one good thing. Not one proud moment. You’re forever a shameful disgrace who threw his own mandate in the bin.

It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate from the people. He has no real ideas, and no plan.

Did better than expected at the show. The quiche even got a 2nd place! I was the only entrant in the sourdough and the "any other medium" model classes, 2 of my cakes got 2nd, and another 3rd. Only one unplaced! Also got 2nd in dessert apples! Won the grand total of £17.

My daughter has ME. She copes by working from home, and fits a 2 hour nap into her working day. She goes to bed VERY early and starts work early too. If she has an event or other such thing to attend, she usually books at least the following day off to rest (which isn't usually long enough).
