There's a delay to the Boris Johnson interview with Andrew Neil. Number 10 are understandably trying to exclude questions on children(his), mistresses (his), water cannon, zip wires, red wine on sofa arguments, letterboxes, water melons and piccaninnies

Looks like they've succeeded in excluding all questions, a Boris no-show? Could be his biggest own goal...

In the UK, insults about hairstyles are being recorded as "hate crimes". The left then whips up hysteria about soaring hate crime numbers to portray the country as dangerously racist and intolerant.

Deputy chief constable Rachel Swann left Twitter earlier this year after facing "hairstyle abuse" over her spiky frosted-tips hairstyle and reported the "insults" she received as a "hate crime."

From The Huffington Post, "Police Chief Says She Faced Sexist And Homophobic Abuse Over Hairstyle":
A senior police officer has spoken out about how she received "sexist and homophobic" abuse online while overseeing the evacuation of more than 1,000 people as a dam collapsed.

Rachel Swann, deputy chief constable of Derbyshire Police, said the insults she received have been recorded as a hate crime after she was told she was "letting policing down" while overseeing the Whaley Bridge crisis.

Swann told BBC Radio Derby that she decided to quit Twitter after a press agency "wanted to run a story on my hair".

Speaking about the abuse for the first time, she said: "I can take a bit of banter but it became sexist and homophobic, and really insulting.

"The bit that really hurt was people saying I had no standards and I was letting policing down."Imagine charging people with hate crimes for making fun of you.

One viral meme of Swann shared on social media put her image next to the Zoomer Wojak:

Another had her going Super Saiyan:

I guess everyone who shared these memes should be thrown in prison to protect the deputy chief constable's feelings.
 
I can state re the Big Pharma thing as spent 25 years in the industry. Ellers stated that the U.K. was now behind the U.S or words similar to... What a joke that is they pull the strings globally
Just confirmed on the BBC that the US is the biggest Pharma producer. You were saying?
 
OK , I accept there is an upper middle class stigma of rap music (which sucks big time imo:headbang:) but most talented rappers are just speaking about their life situation due to having a very underprivileged and poor upbringing.

If I was in that situation myself then I would be a hustler trying to make ends meet, I'm fact I'm white and not a rapper and have been in that situation for a few years now ( working very hard on the breadline) but slowly turning it around (without no help from the state:emoticon-0148-yes:)

Google "Rappers killed in 2019" . Most appear to have been shot. You're not suggesting there's no link between rap/ hip hop and violent drug gangs, are you?

Why don't you just search for people shot and murdered in general over the last few years and realize its not just rappers and rap music doing the killing?

I'm not making a judgement, just looking at the statistics. It seems to be a dangerous lifestyle.

Good to hear things are looking up for you anyway :emoticon-0148-yes:
