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.

Freds into the little timmy farron, those whiney shrill, childish tantrum types.

Could be said of the nutter.

re - could be said

It takes a nutter to know another one

Did you notice "Freda" forgot to keep us up to date with yesterday's results

British Prime Minister Theresa May's Conservatives secured a landmark victory in a parliamentary by-election on Friday, strengthening her hand ahead of Brexit negotiations as her rivals suffered damaging setbacks.

The Conservatives captured the northwestern seat of Copeland that Labour have held since 1935, the first by-election gain for a governing party for 35 years and a result which piles pressure on the opposition's under-fire socialist leader, Jeremy Corbyn.

Sonny Jim,

Not my problem.

But many a landmark has been hit in the fog by the over-confident sailor.

The state of rabble politics.

Finally - Green - is ready to cough some cash to pay for the BHS pensions he went Plundering earlier ( not paying ).......

Philip Green agrees 363 mln stg BHS pension deal with regulator
Tue, 28th Feb 2017 14:41

LONDON, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Britain's pensions regulator has agreed a cash settlement worth up to 363 million pounds ($451 million) with Philip Green, the former owner of collapsed department store BHS, it said on Tuesday.

The regulator said the arrangement has the support of the trustees of the two BHS pension schemes.

It will see Green provide funding for a new independent pension scheme to give pensioners the option of the same starting pension as they were originally promised by BHS, and higher benefits than they would get from the Pension Protection Fund (PPF).

Billionaire Green owned BHS for 15 years before he sold the loss-making 180-store chain to Dominic Chappell, a serial bankrupt with no retail experience, for one pound in 2015.

BHS went into administration in April 2016 and the last of its stores closed in August. Some 11,000 jobs were lost.

i did not expect to come across Plaza Margaret Thatcher in the middle of Madrid!

Well....it was a lucky escape said Francois Hollande......ouf..PHEW.....it could have been the head chef and the train driver....that would HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS.....

please sign the petition to get rid of the lords

After the response after that gymnast 'Lewis' was castigated and ridiculed
by the media for mocking islam by pretending to pray, lets see what the response
is to 'Sir' rod stewart doing a mock execution in a desert somewhere, which was
put up on instagram by his wife penny Lancaster, but has since been removed..


'Sir' Rod Stewart says mock execution was Game of Thrones prank.

The rock star says he was re-enacting TV series after video appears to show him
faking jihadi john style beheading in desert.

Round 11: Haye manages to land a right hand and remind the crowd that he is still dangerous, but a moment later he throws himself through a high left jab, misses, and falls to the floor.

He gets to his feet but finally Bellew hits Haye down to the floor!

He falls out of the ring and through the ropes, and tries to pull himself to his feet as the referee counts, but can barely get there. As he finally stands, his corner throw in the towel!

Tony Bellew beats David Haye!

As expected the 'mock execution' by 'sir' rod stewart has quickly been
forgotten, unlike the Lewis debacle that was carried on by the pc media
for days.....

Ho dear..Has our attention being too focused on Sweden, when France is in
a far worse state...


"In 1984, a movement called SOS Racisme was created by Trotskyist militants,
and began to define any criticism of immigration as "racist". Major leftist parties supported SOS Racism.

They seemed to have thought that by accusing their political opponents of racism, they could attract the votes of "new citizens".

The presence of islamist agitators , alongside agitators in Arab and African
neighborhoods, plus the emergence of anti-western islamic discourse,
alarmed many observers SOS Racisme immediately designated those who
spoke of islamic danger as "Islamophobic racist."

Pakistani women in UK paid least compared to men, Irish women the most - study
Mon, 6th Mar 2017 14:47 - By Anna Pujol-Mazzini

LONDON, March 6 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Pakistani and Bangladeshi women in Britain are paid the least compared to men while white Irish women have overtaken male peers in terms of salaries, according to a study of the gender pay gap by ethnicity on Monday.

The study released by women's rights group Fawcett Society found women from almost every minority ethnic group experienced a pay gap with white British men.

Research by the University of Manchester found Pakistani and Bangladeshi women hardest hit, earning 26 percent less than white British male peers, while black African women had made little progress since the 1990s and earned 20 percent less.

Figures from the UK's Office of National Statistics show on average women earned about 18 percent less than men in Britain in 2016.

The women who had seen the most progress since the 1990s were white Irish women who are now paid 17.5 percent more than white Irish and British men.

"But this is largely due to generational factors as they are more likely to be older, working full-time or in senior or managerial roles," Sam Smethers, chief executive of the Fawcett Society, said in a statement.

Chinese women have also have managed to reverse the pay gap in the past 20 years and are now earning 5 percent more than white British men when working full-time. But they still earn less than Chinese men.

Indian women have seen the gender pay gap with white British men narrow to about 6 percent from 26 percent in the 1990s for those working full-time.

Smethers said the charity's breakdown of the gender pay gap by ethnicity - released ahead of International Women's Day on March 8 - tracked progress over a 25 year period with largely negative results but some positive.

Smethers said black African women have been largely left behind in terms of closing the pay gap and Pakistani and Bangladeshi women are today "only where white British women were in the 1990s".

"For these groups this is a story of low labour market participation and low pay when they are in work together with high levels of unpaid caring work," Smethers said.

"But it is important to consider how that gender inequality is experienced by different ethnic groups to ensure that all women in Britain see their gender pay gap closed."

"A Study by womens right group Fawcett Society found women from almost
every minority ethnic group experienced a pay gap with white British men"

Yes another bashing for the white British men, but the system is certainly
working against white British men for future generations which will reverse
that anomaly due to the fact that white boys are now being discriminated against
in further education, and also by the lack of attention in main schools because
the teachers have to give more attention to foreign born children where English
is not their first language.

As to Pakistani and Bangladeshi women being paid the least, is down to those from
them regions are generally muslim, and muslim women stay home to look after their
large families.


And all those studies point to its that time of year when these organisation
put in for grants..
