The media keep bashing France and Germany over Brexit and I don't know why we don't just go and invade them like we have done so many times in the past and give them a lesson or two in showing respect. I am sure the Mail, the Express and the Evening Standard would take up the cause. We could raise an army. I am sure there would be plenty of volunteers from those red wall constituencies.
 
I suppose it should sort of be on here -

My stepfather-in-law, Peter Taylor, has a programme on tonight on BBC2 at 9pm about the Irish Partition, and his 50 years of filmmaking on the troubles etc. It's many publications pick of the week, and well worth watching as a break from the football!


I think Peter Taylor has done more to help the English understand 'The Troubles' in Northern Ireland than anyone. He has always maintained an unbiased view and has managed to show things from both sides of the conflict. A true gentleman and one of the journalists I admire most. He also has the most captivating voice, even when describing horrific events, of which there were many. Thanks for the heads up LTL. Much appreciated.

Ah thanks Kaito. I'll send that on to him. He's a great bloke, and really knows his stuff. Kind of like the Attenborough of that situation!

I will have to read these publicaciones as I do not have access to UK TV.

Being unbiased about Northern Ireland is tricky. BBC news certainly isn't as Derry is always referred to as Londonderry in its news programmes.
 
Misleading the House is a serious offence …. The normal result would be suspension or resignation. With this bunch of crooks though …. :emoticon-0112-wonde:emoticon-0112-wonde:emoticon-0112-wonde
Johnson's history of lies, deceit and misleading stretch back to his schooldays. His sycophantic government take their lead from him. Corruption and graft throughout.

Peter is incredibly touched by your note, which I just sent to him. Thanks you very much, and hopes Saints get into the Champions League as a result!
