    Otherwise known as the show's fifth season

    For those unaware, mainly because Channel 4 moved the show from C4 to their new More 4 channel to boost viewership, show creator Aaron Sorkin and executive producer Thomas Schlamme both left at the end of season four due to conflicts with Warner Bros, so the new showrunner took the approach that the show should reflect contemporary issues, meaning there were plotlines about Christian missionaries in Sudan, Israel/Palestine tensions, and obvious al-Queda avatars. Luckily they righted the ship for the final two seasons.

    How have we gone from "It'll be endless trade deals and rainbows of money" to "The food and medicine shortages may be temporary"?
    The whole thing's clearly an utter farce and the main leave campaign was funded by a bloke who's used chemical weapons on us since it happened.

    Maybe if Boris' bus had a more not-a-complete-lie slogan on the side, such as "As long as it's a short winter you won't resort to cannibalism"

    Boris Johnson's wife has kicked him out.

    I wonder if she'll be receiving £350m a week?

    Mrs B Mk III's a bit posh. Her friends' kids are called Saffron, Rupert, Ophelia and Genevieve. Before Mrs B objected, I tried to call mine Siouxsie and Polystyrene.

    In an interview with Nick Robinson, Tony Blair says he doesn't think that Labour can be reclaimed from the left

    ...sorry, I got that headline wrong, let me try again...

    Tony Blair freely admits that he stole the Labour party from the left, yet because he was being interviewed by Nick Robinson he was not called on it

    Hmm, I wonder why her constituents weren't rallying behind her...

    Even worse, she got the number of votes wrong as well...

    And we're also supposed to forget this was a thing...

    How about this.....a lady policeman in Dallas mistakes someone's apartment for her own,finds a man inside his own apartment and,for some reason,shoots him and he dies later in hospital. Only in America?

    I read that too. It’s pure mad isn’t it.

    She will use the usual “I feared for my safety” crap and no charges will be made.

    She's apparently facing a manslaughter charge, which means that US law enforcement frown on their officers shooting middle class black people who work for PricewaterhouseCoopers and live in a gated community

    I suppose that's progress...right?

  17. Irexit party says leaving EU will mean no hard border http://www.irishexaminer.com/breaki...app&utm_medium=share&utm_campaign=sharebutton

    IREXIT - this is the pincer movement, aiming to destabilise Ireland from within and drive them towards an EU exit. Led by.......Herman Kelly, who just happens to be a former press spokesperson for...... Nigel Farage! And someone considered too extreme, even by UKIP!! <yikes>
    https://www.hopenothate.org.uk/2017...slams-partys-european-pr-man-total-liability/

    In some ways surprised it took so long for this ‘Party’ to emerge, but maybe an indication of the increasing desperation of the far-Right. But ignore this at your peril.

    I just don’t understand how anyone let alone a cop could mistakenly enter the wrong apartment thinking it was their own.

    Surely more to this story than what we’ve been told so far.
