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.

You can't re.-shoot this one.
It is reeling and it has been taken as it is as good as in the can.
But I think some are trying to frame the directors and dim down the true picture,
The unit started to roll and lost all its support stand when it overshot its trajectory.

Amazing overlap over of vocabulary between two "occupations" or "industries" or "professions".

I guess most readers here have seen the obviously racist comments from Diane Abbot. If her comments had been made by a white person they would have had to leave their post. She has since attempted to pretend that it was taken out of context. The actual comment was “White people love playing 'divide & rule’. We should not play their game,”. She got a phone call from Ed Milliband while being interviewed on the matter by SKY News.
If you would like her sacked from her job on the This Week program at the BBC then go to the page below and send your comments.

I have seen her interviewed several times.
Although she always goes on about equality, she often gets in at least one dig against any none black persons.
So she is what I refer to as a 'One way none racist'.

Diane Abbot irritates me, and I stopped watching the TV Politics programme which she was on, as her interventions often seem to me to be crass.
But her remark “ white people love playing ‘divide and rule” seems to me B. obvious to me and common practice of some politicians, some individuals (white, black, colour, or yellow), or kids in the playground who are trying to win an argument. It is common practice in committee meetings and debates.
Pointing out what is as a possible action by what is seen a “ruling” “white body “of people will do, is not unreasonable.
It was made against the background of what was described as a case of racial murder and police incompetence, or even a case of racial disregard by the police.
Although, sometimes Abbot provokes me to thinking that she is dumb which she is obviously not, as can be seen from her academic achievements, but I think she is attempting to limelight what she addresses in her own way.
What she was addressing in her remark, was, that if one can fragment, or subdivide the “coloured” groups involved, into “variants” of colour, or ethnicity, one is complicating the “core” problem under examination and helps those who wish to provoke “racialism”.
The leaping on the band wagon by Clog and the ranting tory camp followers can be seen as attempts to deviate focus from the inept posturing of Cameron on the economic mess he is continuing to create.
(America is coming out of recession, UK going into recession.)

PS.
(The recording of nursing routine items, is a problem of how the records are being recorded. Not nursing itself, although there are problems with nursing and medical care.)
Without, good records, then if there is an incident which leads to a investigation or court case then the staff may get scalped, even if not responsible for any "crime".
Tanker,
Yes.
Discuss racialism, Black, white, or coloured, and try to understand the reasons for it.
But don’t think you are trying to do that, when the way you are discussing it, sometimes seems to show more interest in trying to provoke or incite it.
--------------------
However, some of the recent hullabaloo about supposed racial remarks seems to me to ridiculous.
(I have always thought that the round ball game was played by overgrown boys and girls.)

Ed Milliband is also suffering from foot-in-mouth disease.
He has the subject of 'black and white' on the brain at the moment. He posted thi on Twitter this morning.
"Sad to hear that Bob Holness has died. A generation will remember him fondly from Blackbusters".
