    Well, that will be with either the free/forced
    cooperation of Jordan, or some "pontoon" bridge.

    Here is the first line of the story anouncing Hodge's appointment. 'Margaret Hodge, a long-term campaigner against global corruption, has been appointed as the UK’s anti-corruption champion.' This is George Orwell par excellence. Doublespeak, Newspeak in one sentence. Hodge a wealthy women as far removed from left politics as it is possible to be. Her main occupation is supporting and lying on behalf of the most disgusting state in the world. Consider also that I am quoting from the Guardian, a newspaper I read and subscribed to for 50 years until I reluctantly realised how it had mastered double speak. LIke the BBC they still have decent contributors but editorial/news is with a firm political agenda that can be characterised as 'The Status Quo'

    Whatever happened to the Grauniad who ran a full-page article in something like 2006 on the BBC defaulting to the Israeli version of events due to being **** scared of a call from Israel House?

    Which featured a statement from the BBC which unwittingly confirmed what the article suggested?

    I think this is worth posting, given Nancy Mace is pretending that she was assaulted...

    Can anyone remind me which month of next year I predicted a new leadership contest?

    Reasonably sure that I said April

    A baroness who called a peer of Indian origin "Lord Poppadom" is facing a suspension from the House of Lords after an investigation found her comments amounted to harassment:
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cql569v0pq2o

    She was pissed, mistook one Asian Lord for another, racially abused both in one comment and touched a black MP's hair. <doh>
    Three week suspension is bollocks. **** her off. Stone can go, too. Pair of arseholes.

    Several sources say it was a publicity stunt

    Can't think how that could possibly backfire...

    My only gripe is that Israel were given the opportunity to make this decision. The Irish Government should have expelled them a year ago.
    Oh well, hopefully they won't slam the doors as they leave.... <laugh>

    Yes, it is terrible that two people have the same handwriting, and you definitely should not read the Community Note underneath it...
