    In my opinion @Watameire is being hostile.

    "Oh I cannot comment because it comes from a paticular newspaper".

    Irrespective that London has gone to ****, do me a favour.

    We can be adversarial, and disagree strongly, without becoming too hostile I hope.
    These are highly emotive subjects.

    The hour is also very late (over here anyway). Perhaps time to bid goodnight and sweet dreams. Tomorrow is a new day :emoticon-0157-sun:

    Newspapers are not objective in their reporting, particularly of politically charged matters. All have agendas, be they left or right leaning.

    London has serious problems.
    It also generates about half of the income of the entire UK.
    That's why I think it should have a senior Cabinet department and a top Minister looking after it.
    Not a tin pot Mayor and a cliquey council.

    Most other Not606 Charlton members are probably asleep by now. And good luck to them.

    Sounds like the argumentative little one was busy last night whilst I went to bed happy after watching a really good performance and a celebratory drink. Thought others would also. Perhaps shandy’s are strong down there?

    For the record, bizarre it even needs to be written, I am as appalled as everyone about the grooming gang story and doubtful of the conduct and impartiality of the review. The government needs to get hold of this situ and quick.

    That said, I despise the political bias of papers such as the Express and Daily Mail.
    Both bring back echoes from my childhood and little England mentalities and both along with the Sun have zero credibility.

    Elfling you’ll have more credibility with me if you go back to forwarding your links from Kenya and Egypt. As you were…

    Best wishes

    I'll not reply to your opening paragraph as you'll think I'm being argumentative.

    Perhaps if you put the second paragraph down in the first place we'd not have had this exchange.

    In this instance with the country and London totally shot to ****, it does not matter what bloody journal is being posted. You'll not be surprised to know I have a news alert from GB News on my mobile.

    Watamare, just be content that Sir @Ponders Revisited has not put his tuppence worth in<laugh>

    Whilst I'm on roll, @Smudger603 :emoticon-0172-mooni

    You know how I feel about what’s going on - stopped buying newspapers years ago as , like politicians, they all lie and have their own agenda :emoticon-0172-mooni:emoticon-0172-mooni

    @The Penguin is getting the first round in next March, you can buy the next one and I'll forgive you for the upset you have caused me.
