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.

The real culprits are the zoo for having a hole in the fence for a child to get through. The parents should sue the zoo, which must have been in the minds of the staff when they shot the gorilla.

Jeremy Corbyn: the BBC is 'obsessed' with damaging my leadership

Jeremy Corbyn has argued that the BBC is obsessed with trying to damage his leadership and accused some within Labour of playing into its hands.

The party leader made the claim in an interview with Vice News as part of a fly-on-the-wall documentary that gives an insight into the workings of his office.

The film, published on Wednesday morning, follows Corbyn over almost two months leading up to the May polls – through the party’s response to the unravelling of the budget, the launch of its inquiry into antisemitism within the party, and the election campaign.

In a series of interviews with Ben Ferguson, a Vice journalist and Labour member who voted for him as party leader, Corbyn revealed the depth of his feelings about his portrayal in the media.

The film shows some of his staff believe his questions to the prime minister are often leaked from his office.

In a sign of tensions within his inner circle, Milne told Vice News that the questions appear to have been leaked on about one in three occasions, giving the prime minister an advantage.

The film shows Corbyn signing photographs, tiles and books for supporters, and promising to autograph apples from his allotment in the autumn.

It also allows a glimpse into his PMQs preparations, where staff take on the role of Cameron. It shows Corbyn joking “Does anyone want to be prime minister?” before Andrew Fisher, who was recently promoted to be his policy chief, steps up.

When the first reports started coming out it was stated that there was
a gap in the fence, and I thought at the time that was a stupid thing to
let happen by the Zoo, where an animal or a child could get in/out of
a 'secure' compound, but it was said later that the little lad climb over
a three foot high fence?

Which was it..A gap or the little lad climbing over the fence, and where was
the parents while the lad was climbing over?.

It was a shame because it looked like the gorilla was treating the lad as if it
was a baby gorilla, but as been stated you don't know how things could turn
out.

The zoo keepers had been able to get the femails back into their holding
cages, but the keepers couldn't get the male back inside.

Maybe they could have just let the little lad live with the gorillas ,i'm sure that's what Fred would say.

Yes the paranoia in the Labour party is palpable...And some would
say that paying the 3 quid was worth it when you can get to be a member
of the 'inner circle' learning about their strategy then relaying it back to HQ ....

As to the role playing, Jeremy Corbyn still insists on trying to play the opposition
leader but he comes across as being a bit slow on the uptake and keeps having
to ask his fellow role players what questions need to be asked, and can he phone
a friend...

to think of things that might have been....

Yes the Labour party is starting to turn into a charity(basket) case...LMAO!

He has his own problems. He was complicit in the rendition of back to Libya for torture. It has already caused him problems in his very well paid charity job in the US.

Germany trying to silence the sex attacks on their women its getting out of hand

I have seen no such thing. All I have seen is the police investigating the claims. It might tell a different story in comics like the Express, Star or Daily Mail though.

back door politics . Germany have removed hundreds of migrants to their borders and told them if they do not leave will be sent back home or imprisoned .

That also seems to be a false story. Can you provide a link to a reputable source?

read the news on eu issues on migration

Under the new plans, those whose claims are rejected will be flown out en masse in C160 military transport aircraft, according to Bild newspaper.

Notice of deportation orders will no longer be given, so migrants cannot flee to another part of the country.

An unofficial moratorium between November and March in previous years will be not be honoured this year, and deportations will continue throughout the winter.

"Obviously, the usage of the Transall is not ruled out. But only in the event that all civilian transport capacities are exhausted and if it does not affect the German army's priority missions, then could such troop carriers be (an option)," Ursula von der Leyen, Defence Minister, said Wednesday.

Steffen Seibert, government spokesman, said that it was "clear that for repatriation by air, civilian aircraft would be used as a priority".

"But in the event that civilian capacity is insufficient, then ... we will look at possibly using army aircraft," he added.

isn't Das Bild a bit like Hello?

This is a story from the German newspaper Bild. Bild is a tabloid and is the equivalent of the Sun, Mirror or Star. They publish stories that are just about on the right side of libel. Everything in the newspaper is sensationalism and usually false. The story has been picked up in some of our newspapers and credit given to Bild. It is yet another story for the gullible.

Yes its got to be false...Frau Merkel invited those immigrants, so they
definitely won't be getting sent home anytime soon...Besides, no one
knows where to send them, they got rid of their identification on the sea
journey over to europe!..

Anybody want a second-hand Campaign Bus.

Have to sell.

Need funds to pay for ongoing expense claims!

There's a new John Lewis store opening in Leeds in the Autumn,
and there's five hundred vacancies being advertised.

They've had over 3,500 applicants, so far!...

When you hear the government spouting about how many job vacancies
are going unfilled in the UK, take it with a LARGE dose of salt...

And that goes for the rest of their dodgy numbers..

Everything the gov puts out is manipulated.


The last time a big store advertised around here (new morrisons) they had a thousand applications for the 100 jobs on offer on the first day, and had to close the books.

This is down sarf, heaven knows what it's like oop north.
