    There's only one response to the "joyous" news of the "happy" couple announcing they will be "married" next July which has definitely not been announced to try and dodge any negative headlines

    The Tories are demanding that the BBC project British values or lose the license fee:
    https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/br...oliver-dowden-on-the-bbc-in-the-times-7995528

    What do they mean, exactly? They wouldn't like to say, as then people might disagree with it.
    What are they referring to? Martin Bashir supposedly bullshitting to Princess Diana.
    Is lying to royalty a big deal, then? I take it they'll be asking for Bodger's resignation for lying to the Queen?

    What are British values? How are they different from, say, American, French or German values?
    Does our current government reflect said values?

    British values have been clearly defined recently. They include corruption, lying, demonising foreigners, xenophobia and pride. I for one am very proud.

    British values like holding the government to account for a change?

    Also, one thing I've always noticed when people use the phrase "British values", at no point does there seem to be any mention of Scottish or Welsh values...

    You seriously believe that Israeli pilots are randomly firing on Gaza? Do you realise what the death toll would be if that was really happening? And to all people who think that Israel is trying to kill Palestinians instead of being as surgical as possible. Look at how many untrained lone gunmen kill in the States in mass shootings. How many do you think a trained army can kill with massively more effective weaponry? If the Israelis are trying to kill people they are really bad at it.

    At no point did I say they were randomly firing on Gaza

    Given the fact the Israelis bombed the Associated Press and Al Jazeera offices to rubble a week or so ago, they absolutely know what they are doing. And that's the point: they aren't doing it at random, they know exactly what they are doing which is why we're not getting stories of Israelis bombing weddings or bombing passenger trains like the US have done in the Middle East and Kosovo respectively, and the only way it is possible for them to make such specific mistakes is if they're being very specific in the "mistakes" they are making

    And if they're being specific, it's not a mistake, hence they think bombing a block of flats for ****s and giggles is normal

    Boris has had his hair cut.
    By the time Cummings has finished, he'll have had his throat cut too.

    Unfortunately in real terms this won't make a blind bit of difference to those who follow Boris and this particular Tory government motley crew blindly.

    The good news is that nobody out there is trying to make this enquiry all about themselves

    Oh wait...
