    From the BBC News report of the bombing in Manhattan. The scale on the top LHS looks a little suspect to me.

    Considering how Toby Young has also said that free schools should be allowed to exclude disabled pupils, I would say so.

    ...and guess what? Young just so happens to be director of the New Schools Network.

    Strange.People come from many countries for a free society(?),find work and,maybe,support a family. But you get the odd nut,like this one,who has lived in the states for 6/8 years with an apparent bee in his bonnet. So he tries carnage.Good job the bastard bombed himself and is suffering from many burns.

    Good spot. There are a surprising amount of inaccuracies in news reports if you look carefully. As well as my normal bugbear which is when the news says something like "and that is an increase of 50,000"... what? today? this week? this year? forever? It happens quite regularly that an unqualified amount is stated.

    Medicine is big money in the States.
    Some years ago my wife's friend from Kentucky married my friend and they live in Cheshunt. Well,she fell and broke her ankle. Went to hospital in Barnet I believe where they managed to screw up the operation(this was in April). Well they set it right this time and she is recuperating near Harlow. She hasn't been home since April. Free service I believe! You pay for what you get......

    I myself have had 3 heartattacks.One in 2000 and two in 2004. My firm paid the costs......and the hospitals were wonderful....obviously!

    ....and now they are trying to give me another one by fixing Spurs up with Juventus. I hate Italian football...especially the Juventus left back who takes no prisoners!!!!!

    I agree mate. My company pay for private medical insurance, it is the law in the DRC, they have to. The UK perhaps could go a little way to solving the NHS issues by bringing in a similar system. Obviously companies would need tax-breaks to be able to afford it, but it may just ease the burden on the NHS. And yes I agree, you get what you pay for.

    And don' worry your old ticker about Juve, don't they nick-name the club 'the old Lady'? I think the old lady will need a visit to the local infirmary, if not the morgue, by the time Spurs have finished with her.

    Doug Jones becoming a senator in Alabama must be a wake up call for the Republicans.
    And it wasn't fake news.
    This was the equivalent of a Labour candidate being elected as MP for Henley.

    The Dire Leader has lost the Commons vote on who will be granted powers to vote on the Britait bill 309 to 305

    Of course the real question that has to be asked is whether the Tory whips who have been accused of outright bullying MPs to try and force them to fall in line ahead of this vote. That and why Anna Soubry thought saying "We are the Conservative Party, not Momentum thugs" was necessary.

    On the subject of Trumping...

    She was fired this morning. Reports say, after thinking it was a wise idea to march into the residence to protest her firing, she was dragged off the premises by the Secret Service

    And you thought Moronho was a bad loser...


    It does say a lot what his pinned tweet is, though...
