A French policeman was stabbed while trying to stop illegal immigrants trying to cross the English Channel on Saturday morning. The gendarme had an artery severed in his hand & required surgery after being stabbed when he was attempting to prevent a dinghy carrying...

peace and quiet in the countryside is racist now
This is confusing “racism” for disliking antisocial behaviour. Whatever your ethnicity, blasting loud music in the countryside is selfish, obnoxious and ruins the experience for others. Whenever I’ve visited, it has been welcoming. Partly because I own a pair of ear buds.

A sad, sad reflection on Johnson’s tenure. He had absolute contempt for everyone and everything and is still lauded as some sort of hero by many. It’s a good read whatever your political persuasion or level of devotion to the holy Brexit.

He is an amazing campaigner, as Remainers found to their cost, a decent front man with good staff behind him as Mayor of London, but was never cut out for the day to day responsibilities of PM. His time is over.
He’s also a horrible Tory ****, who plays of his bumbling cuddly persona
A racist toff who has been sacked for lying numerous and very openly had no intention to do anything for anyone but himself.
But Corbyn was a Czech spy or something so the plebs voted for him in their droves.
Didn't he also shag another woman while his Mrs was ill with cancer ? Johnson I mean, not Corbyn
Corbyn's an irrelevance.
Boris (possibly) lied about cake. Blair lied about WMD and killed hundreds of thousands.
I've never been a Boris fan, but thank him for Brexit.
The **** has Blair got to do with anything apart from you being an apologist for this ****show the Tories have inflicted upon us?
Given he can’t confirm how many children he has I think it’s a fair bet he’s done worse.
Because, since you've conveniently forgotten, he was prime minister for your lot, and majored in murdering people for afar.
Did an awful lot for people here though and was cheered on by the Tories over Iraq. Living standards improved massively here under Labour. In 13 years your bunch of self-serving crooks have taken living standards backwards, seen real incomes fall and we’re dying younger. Thanks for that.
Let me think now, who was it that left a note saying they'd frittered the money and there was none left? Ah, yes. Labour. No wonder they've been out of office for 12 years. Starmer has no character or principles. He'll make a terrible pm
A joke which the Tories have milked ever since while debt under them has rocketed and public services have declined hugely. Where has the money gone? Chalk up another win for the Tories’ sparkling management of the economy.
Not the first time a funny note was left for the new government.
“The letter recalls a similar note left by Tory Reginald Maudling to his Labour successor James Callaghan in 1964: "Good luck, old cock ... Sorry to leave it in such a mess."
