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.

Catherine McKinnell is the fourth shadow minister to resign following Jeremy Corbyn’s reshuffle. Technically her resignation is more serious than the others because, as shadow attorney general, she was a member of the shadow cabinet.

The others who resigned last week - Jonathan Reynolds, Stephen Doughty and Kevan Jones - were all shadow junior ministers

Shame about David Bowie, one of the more talented performers.

For anyone doubting what really happened in Germany on New Year ,i think now with video footage seen on the news and all the interviews it can not be denied that it was Syrians who carried out these assaults ...

Max.

How many tory MPs will have the courage to resign from the split cabinet when Cameron wins the in or out political fiasco?

Using public money to try to keep his con party together.

Number of complaints in Cologne alone is now over 500, approx 40% of which were sexual assaults including rape. The assaults and thefts were 'almost exclusively' by recent immigrants and illegals. The Cathedral and main railway station are adjacent with much of the celebrations being on the plaza between the two. So much for the comments that women shouldn't have been there.
Fact is that the assaults were deliberately played down to avoid recriminations. The political elite are the same the world over. Brush the muck under the carpet and make soothing noises. The idiots that voted us in will soon forget. After all Christmas only comes once a year.
The police are accused of leaving the plaza on New Year's eve but of course returned with water canon to disperse their own citizens a few days later.

worth reading this morning's guardian
there's an excellent article in there on this cologne affair, and the german media do not come out of it smelling too good (i like the pun!)

=============

i can't find what i found this morning, but it seems that the german public tv or news station made no mention of this affair for 3-4 days

=============

anyway the following is also worth reading
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jan/10/ensure-germany-welcome-refugees-cologne-attacks?

I hear there were over 200 complaints from elderly and portly over 60-year-old men complaining because they weren't assaulted in the suggested manners.

No pleasing some!

Ps. Where is Manuel to-day?

go to specsavers!

Merkel is beginning to look a bit stupid now .

"worth reading this morning's guardian", the boy Garnett reading the Guardian.. what ever next.

OK my boy -):

Heard a German reporter interviewed and she said there were more attacks in other cities but they were not reported openly .

quite possibly suppressed as in cologne
