Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

Jeremy Corbyn criticised by judge for making violent criminals sound like 'peace campaigners'
Labour leader has given character references several times in support of violent criminals
Jeremy Corbyn was accused by a judge of trying to make a violent criminal “sound like a peace campaigner” in one of a series of court interventions.
The Labour leader went to court to give a character reference for a gang member with a lengthy criminal record as he was jailed for a brutal attack that left a student brain damaged.
Yahya Salah, who went to school with Mr Corbyn’s son Ben, was praised by the MP for doing community work and showing “contrition” but the judge in the case appeared to have little time for his comments as he jailed Salah for three years and four months after he admitted violent disorder.

Hays.
What is the cost of the Gutless one's policies?
Mind he certainly shows his ability of economic planning for the future of his mates.
What is the cost of delaying Heathrow expansions?

Mind while the Gutless one is snuggling up to Xi Jinping.
How many did he butcher in the last 10years.
Makes Cameron look like a blood brother.

Pity about Heathrow, perhaps it is his "Poll Tax" bid!

Turns out Diane Abbott thought Mao was a good role model too
John McDonnell not the only Labour frontbencher to refer to the Little Red Book
John McDonnell caused uproar in the House of Commons when he produced Mao’s little Red Book but it turns out he’s not the first Labour frontbencher to refer back to the Chinese dictator.
Diane Abbott attempted to extol the positives of the brutal communist leader from the comfort of the This Week sofa.
The Shadow Secretary of State for International Development left Michael Portillo and Andrew Neil dumbstruck after saying “on balance Mao did more good than wrong”.
Neil asked, quite understandably: “Remind me what the good was…”
After attempting to reply an astonished Portillo interrupted her, adding: “Just tell me what was the good thing that he did that made up for the 60 million people he murdered?
Abbott, undeterred, said: “He led his country from feudalism, he helped to defeat the Japanese, and he left his country on the verge of the great economic success they are having now.”
No wonder Diane has picked up the nickname Madame Mao from her Labour colleague.

Daesh might have its own passport printing machine and ‘boxes of blank passports’, according to a new US intelligence report.
In the 17-page Homeland Security Investigations Intelligence Report, which was obtained by abc News, the terror group is said to have likely been able to print realistic-looking Syrian passports ever since it took over Deir ez-Zour last summer.
Deir ez-Zour is home to a passport office with ‘boxes of blank passports’, the report said, and a passport printing machine. Another passport office was also found in Raqqa, the proclaimed capital of the so-called Islamic State.
‘Since more than 17 months [have] passed since Raqqa and Deir ez-Zour fell to ISIS, it is possible that individuals from Syria with passports “issued” in these Isis-controlled cities or who had passport blanks, may have traveled to the U.S.,’ the report reads.

Notice Osborne kept the Little Red Book.
I can see where he gets his economic ideas from.
Also, seems to had learnt how to hold onto the property of others.
Good old fascist principles.

Ken Livingstone could be awarded a peerage in a reported attempt by Jeremy Corbyn to get his ally into the shadow cabinet.
The Labour leader is said to be "desperate" to get the former London mayor into his cabinet to help him deal with a mounting rebellion from moderates on the front benches.
But MPs have told the Sun on Sunday that such a move would be considered a "declaration of war" on the parliamentary party.
They have called for Mr Livingstone to be sacked as co-chairman of Labour's defence policy review after he told shadow minister Kevan Jones - who has had a well-documented battle with depression - to seek "psychiatric help".
One senior party figure told the newspaper: "This will simply pour petrol on the flames of rage consuming the Parliamentary Labour Party."
