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.

Great win for Mark Cavendish on Stage 1 of the Tour. He will wear the yellow jersey for the first time tomorrow.

72161 - most of the jewish community departed the east end about 30 years ago ...... the area has long seen congregations of new immigrants implanting their own culture, and it is now the turn of the banglas and others from the sub-continent

Any of you remember the 'Mrs Merton' talk shows? She is famous for:

"Ladies and Gentlemen, it's the lovely Debbie McGee."

"Debbie, now tell us, what was it that first attracted you to millionaire Paul Daniels?"

Mrs Merton was played by the comedienne, Caroline Ahern and was famous for a few roles, including one on 'The Royle Family'.

Caroline, who co-wrote, directed and starred in The Royle Family, was born with a rare form of retina cancer and later received treatment for bladder cancer. She revealed two years ago, that she had been undergoing treatment for lung cancer in her home city of Manchester. She has now lost her fight with this dreadful disease.

“Caroline Aherne has sadly passed away after a brave battle with cancer,” her publicist Neil Reading said. “The Bafta award-winning writer and comedy actor died earlier today at her home in Timperley, Greater Manchester. She was 52.

RIP.

From a bit of leakage from the Chilcot report it looks like Blair may get off lightly. It seems it is going to hang MI6 out to dry and blame it on them. Blair will get criticism for not checking enough but will shown as being misled.

oh hahaha!
so easy to blame MI6 as, by definition, the characters live in the shadows
is anyone dumb enough to believe that slimeball blair did not manipulate and spin the reports to suit his own ends?

It will all kick off Wednesday evening.

It'l be a cover up, which was to expected, and allow Blair to get off,
seeing has the Blair ideology still lingers in the smoke filled commitee
rooms of the establishment, and the 80% of serving Labour MP's, not to
mention the Tory's like outgoing PM cameron who idolised Blair along
with T. May.

Chilcot report: International Criminal Court says it will not investigate Tony Blair – but might prosecute soldiers

Court says decision to invade is outside its remit but will use report to look at evidence of soldiers' human rights abuses

ony Blair will not be put on trial for war crimes but British soldiers could be, prosecutors at the International Criminal Court have said.

Ahead of the long-awaited publication of the Chilcot report on Wednesday, lawyers at the court have ruled out prosecuting the former prime minister for war crimes because it says the decision to go to war is outside its remit.

Instead the ICC says lawyers will comb through the 2.6 million word document for evidence of war crimes committed by British troops during the war.

The decision has outraged the families of the 179 British soldiers who were killed during the eight year conflict. They blame Mr Blair for dragging the UK into the war under false pretences.

Looks like The Chilcott Report will take the heat out of the Tory and Labour leadership elections.

Or is it vice-versa? I do very much think so. How about you?

Hmmm? What will happen here? This one is going to be very interesting....

Chris Evans faces police probe over ‘sexual assault’
Beeb face dilemma over whether to take Evans off Radio 2 breakfast show with motor show future already under scrutiny
The Sun
BY PAUL REVOIR AND LAURA ARMSTRONG
2nd July 2016, 10:56 pm

TOP Gear presenter Chris Evans is to become the most high-profile BBC star to be quizzed by police over historical sex assault allegations. Met officers will speak to the multi-millionaire BBC star, 50, in the coming days after a complaint from a former work colleague, website Heat Street report.

Beeb bosses now face a dilemma over whether Evans, 50, continues on his Radio 2 breakfast show. A BBC spokeswoman declined to comment while Evans’s representatives were unavailable to comment.

The cop quiz comes after a woman who worked with Evans in the 1990s told The Sun on Sunday earlier this year how the star flashed at her almost every day for two years.

She said he exposed himself to people who did not do what he wanted. She added: “He might have thought what he was doing was amusing, but like a lot of bullies he cloaked it in a joke. Bullies make out that you’re not being fun if you’re not being part of that joke. I have no idea if he was getting some gratification out of this, but he used to get his penis out every time I saw him. He’d either just get it out, or he’d walk into a room naked."

“Sometimes it was erect, sometimes it wasn’t. I know other people experience the same thing at work but this was quite extreme because of the relentlessness of it, almost every day for two years."

Speaking in May she claimed he grabbed her breasts and bullied her after she rejected his advances. She claimed her complaints were ignored and the ordeal left her traumatised and on anti- depressants. She insisted she was speaking out to protect others at risk of being harassed by him.

Sounds like a cock and bull story to me..

It's only 20 years ago ... quite recent by todays standards.

story no doubt bought by some red top

A convicted Somalian rapist who overturned a deportation order went on to rape two more women in Birmingham, with his lawyer arguing "he had a lack of understanding of what is acceptable in the UK".
Dahir Ibrahim, 31, was sentenced to ten years in prison in 2005 after the first sex attack on a prostitute in Edgbaston.
A judge ordered his deportation after he served his sentence, but he appealed - and was given leave to remain in the UK.
Now Ibrahim, of Handsworth, has been jailed for another 10 years after raping two "vulnerable" women within six weeks of each other in 2014.
It was more opportunistic then pre-planned. No long-term physical injury was sustained by the victims. - Jabeen Akhtar, defending.

Who sits on these immigration panels and are they made accountable for their cock-ups?

"It was more opportunistic then pre-planned."

Thank frick for that, that should be comforting for the victims, and allay fear
of further mental turmoil.

But these victims have to realise that to have a successful open door
multi-cultural society these occurrences have to be tolerated and to except
that the perpetrators have rights too.
