  1.  @ChristineRead-ck1uq  Unfair. It is generally accepted that, it you are intent upon being a hypocrite, don't be half-hearted about it.

  2. Perhaps you aren't aware of the state Haiti is in today? Or of what happened in Haiti after the French left?

  3. I doubt he will, until he gets his peerage.

  4. I wonder if, when the House of the Living Dead rejected the Rwanda proposals once again, Welby and his fellow Bishops, as one, cried 'Allahu Akbar!'

  5. Don't expect the media to mention that. The photos shown of this saintly young are highly selective, to say the least.

  6.  @joshuataylor3550  Certainly, culture changes. However, history does not.

  7. Sorry, but the Barrister is correct in his explanation of how the law works. Whether the CPS was right in concluding that there was a case to answer in the first place is not the issue. Once it had, then the trial had to proceed. It did, and the correct verdict was reached. If anything, that demonstrates that the Legal System is still fit for purpose. Consider the alternative. If the facts and the evidence had not been properly tested before a Jury, how do you think the usual subjects would have reacted? What is more dubious is the way the BBC and others portrayed Kaba as a young angel, 'unarmed. training to become an architect, and about to become a father' when those responsible within the organisation doubtless knew the facts, but chose not to report the events in an impartial manner. The BBC had, it seems, concluded, for reasons of their own, that the Firearms Officer was guilty until proven guilty, as the virtually unconcealed fury of their presenters on Monday's news made obvious. When the facts became public, the startling hand brake turn undertaken by that same BBC on Tuesday was 'mirabile visu.' Wonderful to behold.

  8. No, but they share the same brain, which is swapped between the two as required.

  9. Actually, 81% of the electorate didn't. Oh, the joys of First Past the Post!

  10.  @beatlebrian4404  'can you explain this? last April the pension went up by £442 per year so this winter they will have £442 more than last winter and the energy prices this year are cheaper than last year.' Grasping at straws, comrade? Your argument might have slight merit if inflation did not exist. It does, of course. Would you try to use the same argument to suggest than there should be no pay rises, either? The Pensions rate is calculated to ensure that pensioners do not find that their incomes have fallen in real terms. It is entirely unconnected with the Dear Leader's recent cancellation of the Winter Fuel Allowance.

  11.  @Ken-yy9us  You have posted a similar comment several times before on numerous sites. Be honest. If you are a 79 years old pensioner, then I am Holy Roman Emperor. However, to give your comment more attention than it deserves, do you suggest that, because a few wealthy pensioners are receiving something that they do not need, the many thousands who are already stuggling, but just over the benefits limit, should be punished in this manner? Seriously?

  12. Seriously? £91k p.a., unlimited expenses, and the opportunity to make lucrative 'contacts?' Five years of that will do very nicely, if the new M'P. for my area's attitude is anything to go by.

  13. If you think 'Have I Got News' is bad, I urge you to steer well clear of the radio version, 'The News Quiz.'

  14.  @BridgetHue  Firstly, there is no actual evidence that this statement was ever made. Secondly, 'concerned' or simply 'interested?' Just as there might have been interest in whether the child might have red hair.

  15.  @DeneMonkey  'Winston Churchill accepted gifts too.' Is that really the best you can do?

  16. Here is an idea. The Dear Leader is rumoured to be about to overrule Rachel from Accounts, and slightly increase Defence Spending. What an ideal opportunity for Rachel to resign 'as a matter of principle' thus getting both her and Starmer out of the hole into which they have got themselves?
    3
  17. But didn't the Dear Leader constantly tell we peasants how decent, honest, and truthful his party would be when in office? That didn't pan out, did it?

  18. Isn't it odd how the £22 billion black hole so beloved by Rachel from Accounts applies on some occasions, but not on others?

  19. I don't think that the Royal Family see themselves as some sort of circus act at the beck and call of every passing media idiot. Do you think that they should be?

  20. Put simply, what do you eat when the farming industry is crippled?

  22. I believe that Sir Keir has asked President Blair for permission to have an independent opinion, but Blair has denied it to him.

  23. Seriously, expecting Mr. Lammy to know who Archbishop Cranmer was is akin to expecting my cat to write an erudite thesis on Pope Innocent III. Thomas Cranmer, by the way, was Archbishop at the time of Henry VII, Edward VI, and (briefly) Mary. But not, oddly, of Henry VIII's successor, Henry VII, Mr, Lammy.

  24. Surely you are not suggesting that the Learn'ed Judge, Hugo Benedict Norton-Taylor, born in Bruxelles and son of Richard Norton-Taylor, a former Grauniad reporter on defence and security, is in any way anything other than totally impartial? Shame on you!

  25.  @Just..........33  Indeed it is, even if Starmer didn't quite seem to realise it.

  26. Do you know? I think that you are actually serious!

  27. No, but he is being given martial arts lessons. Funded by the taxpayer, of course.

  28. If Charles really believes that abasing himself before the left and the faithful will miraculously ensure that the monarchy might survive, he is quite remarkably deluded.

  29. More worryingly, perhaps Lammy knows exactly what he is doing, but he isn't doing it for the benefit of the UK.

  30. The BBC, unlike any other broadcaster, is publicly funded and has a Charter which requires it to be unbiased. A Charter which it ignores on a daily basis.

  31. The answer to that question is obvious, but may not be spoken.

  32. So Peter Hitchens is 'unimpressed' by Trump? I wonder if, when Trump finds out, he will immediately stand down and retire to private life, rather like Diocletian did? As to 'kindness,' Jacinda Ardern expressed a wish to be remembered as 'kind' but look what she did to New Zealand.

  33.  @robinsonfrancis1498  Perhaps you haven't heard the old joke about the Foreign Office? That it exists solely to represent the interests of foreign nations in the UK? At least no-one denies this these days.

  34. 'Britain was in the same situation (as Ukraine) in 1940-41.' Really? what parts of the United Kingdom had Germany occupied in 1940-1941? Where in Britain were the British desperately fighting against a steadily advancing foe? Of course Churchill wanted US aid against Germany. Who wouldn't seek an alliance with the strongest economy on earth? But Churchill, even though he and FDR disagreed on a number of matters, didn't indulge in a public slanging match with Roosevelt.

  35. I will always remember the two goals Sir Keir scored for Liverpool against Sunderland in the Cup Final of May, 1992. Not to mention the five set thriller in which he defeated Goran Ivanišević in the Wimbledon final in June. My favourite memory, however, was of the wonderful century he scored against Pakistan in the Old Trafford Test Match of July that year. All fully detailed in his CV, I expect.

  36. Perhaps there is more reason to be ashamed of the 'British' government, than of Britain itself?

  37. How dare anyone suggest the arrest of an individual who may well be destined to become Director General of the BBC?

  38. But surely, if you embark upon a policy of population replacement, it is vital to make the new population feel comfortable?

  39.  @Quizzes_pro  Brilliant! Congratulations on the most outstandingly irrelevant comment of the day.

  40. No. A safe Labour Parliamentary seat, a subsequent appointment as Minister for Sharia Law Imposition, and finally elevation to the House of Lords. All the time being allowed to keep her trusty old scimitar.

  41.  @jackperry2821  Oh dear. You wrote 'Right. So you don’t want him to be tough on crime? 5 years for peaceful just stop oil protests.' I simply explained how the legal system works. I regret that you don't understand. Where is there any reference to the Catholic Church, by the way.

  42.  @michaeldunham3385  Have you been down to the local Army Recruiting Office yet?

  43. Tell me, Miss Van der Bogerd, these documents show that you received many e-mails informing you that Fujitsu could access sub-postmaster's accounts, didn't you ? I don't recall seeing any of them. Not one. By the way, where am I, and who am I again?

  44. But the Dear Leader needs these people. Where else will he get his infantry soldiers from?

  45. Did this Mail on Sunday commentator actually watch the whole of the meeting, or simply the sections broadcast by the perpetually impartial BBC?

  46.  @desmondroberts6034  No. But the case, and the verdict, proved that the police did no such thing.

  47. Kosher restaurants are advertised as such. Restaurants adhering to Halal rules are, in most cases, not. The fact that you cannot accept this shows why the problem exists.

  48.  @nuabe8285  'most of France was in the resistance standing their ground during ww2' You are absolutely sure about that claim, are you?

  49. Odd that people haven't realised yet that Welby is not so much a priest as a politician exploiting clerical garb.

  50. Ironically, those who bleat about Thatcher and the miners are without doubt the sane people who, had the industry still existed, would have been in the front of the demonstrations demanding that it be closed down. Just as they are blissfully unaware of the fact that the Labour government preceding Thatcher closed down far more pits than Thatcher ever did. I am sure that significant increases in the cost of food will be a delightful surprise in store for you.
