So some sort of hat might be in order?

I am surprised the FT has any journalists left, thought Blair sent them all to the house of Lords!

You may need to read the definition of what weather is and what is a climate trend first. The planet is warming from all evidence collected by thousands of reputable scientists.

About this woman winning £400M on the lottery in the USA surely it is time to cap winnings ?I find the notion someone can win such sums disconcerting. I find it akin to the way individuals earn inherited wealth, create a company and sell their shareholdings for enormous sums in speculative purchases by even bigger companies raising the stock price further and further when the actual genuine value of the company is far smaller.

Looks like South Africa could be on the precipice of doing what Zimbabwe did under the odious Mugabe. The new PM Ramaphosa agrees with mad Julius Malema who seems to have an ingrained hatred of white people. Namely land expropriation from white farmers. We saw what happened in Zimbabwe with agricultural production.

The ANC like political parties in trouble seem to be scapegoating this group considering that they have run South Africa into the ground, failed to provide for the masses especially their own electorate that got them into power with jobs and decent housing and have systematically robbed South Africa dry of resources with some notable business associates.

It's something that never gets reported on the BBC but every week at least one white farmer is murdered or a family member is attacked or raped with some particularly horrific cases in recent months. It is no wonder many have decided to leave but this 'ethnic' cleansing in the so called rainbow nation seems to be going on undeterred. Despite the fact that these people can in many cases trace back over three hundred years of settlement.

Yet another child abuse scandal in the UK. I do not think unfortunately it will be the last. Once again the victims are by and large vulnerable white schoolgirls from a working class background. And the perpetrators Pakistani men although this can land you into hot water despite the facts supporting your utterance as Sarah Champion found out when lambasted by Corbyn.

There does seem to be an issue with these men (I use the term loosely) as such cases have popped up in Rochdale, Oxford, Newcastle, Sheffield, Nottingham, Chelthenham and other areas and I have seen suspicious activity myself in Watford which I did report (nothing happened) and their view of these girls as infidel trash. They also target Hindu and Sikh girls where they can. It seems the police, politicians and social services in these cases seem almost frightened to take action for being labelled racist. If a crime if committed the racial origin of the perpetrator should make no difference as to their arrest and prosecution. It seems the system certainly over the last four decades has failed time and time again.

And coming on to a fairer society. Karen Millen is bankrupt. Unable to pay her tax bill of six million despite selling her business for thirty five million. The poor thing is having to sell her mansion to raise some of the money.

I have precious little sympathy for tax dodgers and I am amazed people in the UK look up to these so called leaders in society like Millen or sports heroes like Hamilton and other footballers who squirrel away millions in tax havens. Not to mention those poor BBC newsreaders now caught apparently having been forced by the Beeb to set up personal service companies.

And ironically that attitude also harms the overwhelming majority of Muslims, or people of Pakistani origin, who also totally abhor such crimes.

They get tarred with the same brush all too easily - whereas, if the perpetrators were all in jail, no finger could be wrongly pointed at them for any complicity or complacency. Those qualities are to be found only in the minds of some of our politicians and police.

BBC...only hot air from there, although it does have a nasty smell about it.

The Streisand Effect.

Last week the British authorities, the same British authorities that allowed several hundred jihadists who fought for isis to come to this country, banned two journalists and a right wing activist from entering the country. Two of them they detained for three days. One they detained under a spurious anti-terrorist excuse. Martin Kellner wanted to make a speech at Speakers Corner. Tommy Robinson went to make the speech for him and the police banned him. Robinson called on anyone who believed in free speech to go to Speakers Corner on sunday at 3pm where he'd attempt to make Kellner's speech for him. Some 3,000 turned up along with muslim and antifa protesters. Apparently, when he has 3,000 people with him it's not illegal for Robinson to make a speech about free speech.
If Lauren Southern had not been disgracefully banned from entering Britain, I may not have looked more into Tommy Robinson. 3,000 people would not have heard a speech about freedom of speech. Thousands more from around the world may not have been watching live streams. It's actually the first live stream I have ever watched of this nature. Look out for the reports on mainstream media. Or maybe don't waste your time. You won't see it.

I'm actually a big fan of the BBC - but they do have times where they go on too much about one story.
