    Either it involves the words "coked", "tits", "off" and "her" being rearranged into a coherent sentence, or there's clearly something that's being omitted - not least the part about how she got into the apartment, as the only logical ways she could have gained entrance to somebody else's apartment is if...
    a.) The keys to her apartment worked with somebody else's, which is a lawsuit waiting to happen
    b.) The door to not-her-apartment was wide open when she got there
    c.) She kicked the door down of not-her-apartment before opening fire

    On the subject of Americans shooting black people, George Zimmerman apparently needs attention as he's been sending abusive texts to Beyonce and Jay-Z which culminate with him not only making a death threat against the pair but doing so in a manner that sounds incredibly racist, especially as it echoes the rumoured (but not proven) practice of hunters in Florida and Louisiana using slave children as bait for the alligators they were hunting.

    She was a Blair drone, and effectively got ousted in 2010
    because of the expenses scandal. Rather than accepting
    that her 13 year time as MP was up, she scuttled into some
    dark corner and awaited her renomination as Labour candidate
    for 2015.

    You could hear the collective wailing from on the street
    local Labour bods when it was official, thinking it had
    cost them any hope of retaking the seat.

    But their angst was misplaced, as one thing you can always
    rely on is the thick sheeple in a constituency with a high
    Labour 'brood-mare' demographic. They even voted her back
    in 2017 with an EVEN HIGHER majority. <rofl>

    Is there a country on this planet where the politicians are not completely insane?

    I'm going to assume her majority increased due to revelations coming out that the Tory she lost her seat to in 2010 is a Saltypool fan...

    It’s his latest blatant attempt at trying to promote himself as a future leader. Fortunately, it seems to have backfired spectacularly.

    His brazen disregard for any form of party loyalty and his disregard and contempt for anything except his own political future make him about as spectacularly unsuitable for leadership as it’s possible to be.

    There are certainly similarities. Tbh, I’m not sure what Boris actually believes, his proclaimed political views seem to vary according to what is most likely to advance his career.

    The thing with Boris' recent series of proclamations is that it appears he isn't aware that we've had a couple of years of the European Research Group led by Jacob Rees-Mogg gathering support from one bunch of the Tory faithful, and then along comes a Bannon-fuelled Boris blathering about anything other than his wife finally remembering that the main reason they got together in the first place was because he was cheating on his first wife with her that's going to gather support from another bunch of the Tory faithful, and what that's going to do is split the Hard Leave vote down the middle as one faction will throw in with Boris and the other with Rees-Mogg.

    So what needs to be asked is whether there's someone in the Tory party canny enough to see Boris and Rees-Mogg are potentially going to cancel one another out. I'd rule out Michael Gove and Chris Grayling, the former as he's part of the ERG and the latter because I'm convinced he wakes up some days and thinks he's a postman, but it wouldn't surprise me if Gavin Williamson had the levels of careerist bastardry to go for it.

    I wouldn’t rule Gove out, he’s intelligent as well as ruthless and ambitious, as we’ve already seen.

    Boris would switch sides in a moment if he saw a personal advantage in it.

    Not that intelligent, given he stabbed Boris in the back under the assumption he had the support of anyone in the party whose name didn't sound like Cycle Mauve and he would march into Downing Street a conquering hero - and then found out he had about as much support as a pub team on the Orkneys.

    Are you watching all these huricanes starting up from Africa and heading for the good old USA? You've got to feel sorry for those islands in between.Makes you wonder why the live there.But then again...record temps in Spain,Portugal and other European places,not even mentioning Asia!.....makes you wonder why the likes of Trump believes there is no such thing as global warning. So he cuts funding for same,tells Puerto Rico to go to hell (which it looks like today!)
    He couldn't care less as he fights for every dollar for his wallet. But he doesn't care.He'll be gone(!) soon.It's his and everyone else's grandchildren and great grandchildren who will cop it.
    I think Al Gore should be making a bigger stink...….and others around the world......if anyone cares!!!!?

    People care. A lot of people care. Including a LOT of people in the US.

    Alas, this "fake news"ism/bury your head in the sand"ism/ignorance is currently winning and people (such as Trump) are taking advantage of it to the detriment of all the good people.
