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.

Spot the various "mistakes" , but beware, you are entering snowflake territory where the real culprits must not be upset and the english language is flexible. After all the shadow education secretary never completed comp school so what the heck.

An extract from Trevor Phillips' article in the DM. He makes many points about the hypocrisy of the left including that made by labour MP Jess Phillips, no relation, that Left-wing men are 'the worst, the actual worst' when it comes to sexism.
He also comments that "the Socialist Workers Party — the most influential surviving Trotskyite group — remains close to the hard Left activists who so influence Labour today.
Yet the SWP barely survived the departure of hundreds of members after its Central Committee refused in 2010 to refer an allegation of rape against a leading member, 'Comrade Delta', to the police.
Instead, the 17-year-old complainant was compelled to appear before a secret party hearing; she left the room in tears, saying they had questioned her about her drinking habits and thought she was 'a slut who asked for it'.
'Comrade Delta', naturally, was cleared of any wrongdoing by the kangaroo court"

Ah the central committees and secret courts, reminiscent of the good old days of Gulags and forced labour. How I miss them.

And Comrade Delta; I can imagine the scene.

What is your name then comrade?
Derek.
Derek? We've got lots of those. We'll call you Comrade Delta!
Cool. Do I get a spandex suit as well?
Don't push your luck. You can have your choice of the totty but don't touch the fat bird, Comrade Deltress, she is reserved for the Supreme Leader.
Never entered my head.

What would you expect... just the opossite of US as usual .......

Russia Opposes Further Economic Sanctions Against North Korea
Wed, 16th Aug 2017 14:44

MOSCOW (Alliance News) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov expressed opposition on Wednesday to imposing further economic sanctions on North Korea, saying the "opportunities for economic pressure have practically been exhausted."

"We cannot support the ideas that some of our partners continue to put forward and that literally aim to economically strangle North Korea," Lavrov said in comments carried by state news agency TASS.

Lavrov met with South Korea's ambassador to Russia, Park Ro Byug, during the day to exchange opinions about issues concerning bilateral relations, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a terse statement.

Lavrov noted a slight easing in tensions over the Korean Peninsula in recent days, according to TASS. Last week Lavrov said "the risks are very high" that the US and North Korea could go to war.

Russia and China, permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, have the closest diplomatic relations with the isolated state of North Korea.

Earlier this month the UN Security Council voted unanimously to impose new economic sanctions on North Korea in an effort to curb the state's nuclear weapons programme.

I do not see how a factual comment can be considered as being 'rascist'.

IMHO, Sarah Champion is correct when she says that there is a problem in that British Pakistani men are raping and exploiting white girls and that there is a cultural link.

Is ISIS Behind the Car Ramming Today in Las Ramblas, Barcelona?

Possible truck ramming attack has taken place in Barcelona, Spain when a driver ran into a crowd. Gun shots have also been reported. La Vanguardia has confirmed an attack and says that “dozens” are injured.

According to Spanish journalist Marta Pastor, the attacker is believed to be from the Maghreb, a region in Northwest Africa. The countries within the region usually include Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya. TV3 of Spain reports that there are two armed people in a Turkish restaurant with hostages.

El Pais writes, “[Las Ramblas] is now cordoned off and the downtown settlements have been evacuated… Police sources have explained that it is a white van that ran down several people, and after the driver fled on foot.” They add that the driver ran over people while they were attempting to cross the street during a traffic light.

In a white van eh...probably another Tory/Ukip muppet gone more bonkers then they already are -):

Here's what Arnold Schwarzenegger has to say to President Trump and others who are giving support to Neo-Nazis and other ultra right wing supporters over in the USA:

https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/arnold-schwarzenegger-schools-trump-nazis-withering-video-message-082541113.html?src=rss

IS VIEWS ARE WORTHLESS read about is past into is actions .

even is films were crap like him

Arnold Schwarzenegge is correct in making those statements in the above Video but Trump has condemned all the fractions of the right but is also correct about history being history and learning from it, rather than destroying statues in the same manner that the one of Sadam was pulled down in Iraq.

Look closer to home, look at the only part of the UK that was occupied by the German forces in the 1940/1945 war. The Channel Islands, take a look at the many gun emplacements and German Underground Hospital that are used as tourist attractions to attract and draw crowds of visitors for profit to those businesses that own these attractions. The Hotels, Guest Houses, that all use and promote and use the Nazi flag, in the same manner as the Islands Government backed visitor publications and centers has and may still well do.

A British Island that is a right wing as you can imagine, and one of the most corrupt places in the world, whose population would not accept any Syrian refugees, that is the UK`s Tax Haven and money laundry, dealing with Far Eastern countries that support human rights abuses, all in the name of money and power and is run "The Jersey Way"

Just take a look a the Jersey Child Abuse cover ups along with other cases that the Royal Courts and Civil Servants along with Politicians. Do the UK papers and Government act against these right wing royalists that retain these Nazi symbols to stand so others may learn from the past, do you advocate they destroy their history because it happened? Would Arnold destroy these symbols?

What did the UK Gov do after the War - they changed all the ill got gains (The German Deutsche Mark ) to GBP without checking if it was black-market money or ill gotten in any form or manner.

Trump wants to use these monuments to educate as does Jersey with it`s history, or is it just because Trump is saying these things?
