    Did Adele's 'diva' requests lead to the collapse of Las Vegas shows? Rumours that her team were 'a total nightmare' abound over the singer's postponed Caesars Palace gigs, writes ALISON BOSHOFF
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowb...ns-cancelled-Las-Vegas-shows-say-sources.html

    I remember going to see Led Zeppelin at Newcastle City Hall on a stage bare except for instruments and amplifiers
    Jimmy Page walked onto the stage already playing the riff of Immigrant Song

    the next year I was watching them at the same place having a sound check and Peter Grant came up to me and said if we went to the stage door before the gig we'd get let in and we watched the show sat on the steps behind the stage - there was just the two of us sat there!

    Because they feel inadequate and feel better hiding behind the lies
    None of us are everything we would like to be but Sensible people get pleasure from having fun rather than lying

    And they're too far up their own virtuous arse to realise why they keep revealing themselves to be racist bigots that judge on skin colour.

    EDIT, and also racistly assume all muslims are of the same race.

    The latest in the #FollowTheMoney series has found that the Cabinet Office ignored a request by a member of the House of Lords to investigate a minister, a civil servant, and the chair of HS2 LTD over allegations they misled parliament and broke codes of civil service.

    The Cabinet Office has told The Canary it isn’t investigating allegations that ministers broke the ministerial code through misleading parliament over the budget of HS2, which could cost as much a £142.02bn.

    The document states there are concerns that ministers broke the ministerial code under paragraph 1.3 by:

    • failing to ‘give accurate and truthful information to Parliament’,
    • ‘knowingly misleading Parliament’, and
    • failing to be ‘as open as possible with Parliament and the Public, refusing to provide information only when disclosure would not be in the public interest’
    The allegations
    Documents seen by The Canary state that Nusrat Ghani, a junior minister employed by Department for Transport (DfT) ‘misled’ parliament on five occasions:
    Ms Ghani has broken the Ministerial Code regarding openness, honesty & leadership.

    Ms Ghani mislead select committees & parliament 5 times for the sole reason that MP’s would not become aware of the £20bn cost increase & the 5 year delay before & during the HS2 phase 2a debate.

    Crazed leftie: "A muslim cant be sacked for lying. It must be because they are a muslim"
    Sensible person: "Were they appointed because they were muslim?"
    Crazed leftie: "She was appointed because she doesnt lie!"
    Sensible person: "Who did? The one who lied?"
    Crazed leftie: "Yes, that one. But she'll be telling the truth about being sacked for being a muslim."
    Sensible person: "Why is that?"
    Crazed leftie: "I dont answer questions that are designed to show how I am talking nonsense"

    "Germany has been hit in recent years by a spate of attacks, mostly perpetrated by jihadists or far-right militants."

    Hanau shootings



    The gunman was identified as 43-year-old Tobias Rathjen, a far-right extremist.[21][22] On his personal website, he published a racist manifesto and posted videos showing his political and misogynist beliefs, accused US President Donald Trump of stealing his slogans,[23] promoted extreme eugenics and expressed frustration that due to his psychological issues he could never experience an intimate relationship with a woman.[24] Rathjen stated he had been guided by voices inside his head since birth and he was being followed by secret agents.[25] Rathjen expressed a hatred for migrants, especially for people from the Middle East, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and North Africa.[26][27] He also expressed a hatred for German citizens who allowed immigrants into their country, and considered them as "impure".[28]

    According to Germany's general prosecutor Peter Frank, Rathjen had contacted German authorities with his conspiracy theories three months before the attack: on 6 November 2019, Rathjen had written a letter to the Public Prosecutor General urging action against a "secret service" organisation, which he claimed was tapping into people's brains to control world events. He called on authorities to "approach me and communicate with me". No action was taken in response. Parts of this 19-page letter were virtually identical to his 24-page manifesto published on his website in February 2020, but it was unclear whether it included any threats against ethnic minorities.[25][29][30]
