The owners of our main papers all live abroad, are very rich and pay no tax here.
It’s balmy.

This guy is consistently wrong so no worries here, Keir.

Police and crime commissioners to be abolished, government to announce.
At last Labour have announced a sensible policy which many of us have been calling for.
Brexit, 2 child cap, BBC governors, nationalise utilities etc etc.

Why hasn’t the government replaced the BBC Board and DG?
Why have they not done something about undoing the biggest mistake in my lifetime - Brexit.

Johnson appoints a right wing bunch of cronies to the BBC Board which appoints a right wing DG. They decide he is not right wing enough so they get rid of him.
Incredible.
But will Starmer and Nandy now bite the bullet and appoint a more balanced left wing Board which will appoint a left wing DG?

The surest proof that Johnson’s grubby fingers are all over the latest BBC scandal is simply that he has said β€œit’s bollocks”.

Alright apologise if you must but don’t forget Trump did encourage the rioters to riot.

Never mind hearing a cuckoo, I have just seen a Christmas advert on TV!

Doesn’t he know you can’t take it with you?
It really is absurd to want such ultra daft and excessive remuneration.

Surely they can’t have deserved any bonus with their appalling record so it’s no big news Ofwat?

Absolutely. Even the right wing London Stock Exchange has finally gone out to declare how costly Brexit has been.

It’s way over time that the government took the threat of the right wing mainly foreign owners of our media.

It’s quite clear that Brexit was a disaster both economically and socially and the same group who promoted it are now calling for our removal from the ECHR.
Not a difficult decision is it?

I’m not sure you are right here as since the election there has been a steady stream of examples of Tory incompetence from the justice system and prisons to the asylum seeker hotels and Uk finances.
Did they do anything properly?
As a building UK needs knocking down & starting again!

Prince Andrew gives up all his titles is the headline. Who cares? I don’t believe in titles or Monarchy anyway.
They could all give them up for me.
We really should move on from these outdated historical titles.

The media refer to the Israeli β€œhostages” but the Palestinian β€œprisoners”.
The numbers are interesting too - 20 hostages returned to Israel while almost 2000 returned to Gaza. Even the body count is telling with 10 back to Israel and 90 to Gaza, many showing evidence of torture.

It’s interesting that they are called β€œhostages” from Israel but β€œprisoners” from Palestine.
7 verses 1,966!

Thatcher turning in her grave because her flagship policy of privatisation has turned out to be a disaster for most of us in this country.

I agree. It’s time to start Levison 2 which would look into the criminality of hacking and the police involvement.

I know you are all interested in other things but Patrick Cantlay for the USA team in the Ryder Cup is boring slow especially on the greens.

Farage lied about Brexit so it’s no surprise that he makes stuff up to further his cause.
It’s time Labour called him out and the biggest nail would be The non-benefits of Brexit.

More people returning to prison is a cast iron certainty after these measures.
Where is Labour going?

It’s also mad to think that you might occupy No 10.

A must watch is β€œThe Donald Trump Show” on C4.
It is frighteningly like watching fiction but unfortunately it’s true.
This is what we have to look forward to if Reform get into power.

More nails in Thatcher’s coffin as long term study into her privatisation policy has cost every house Β£250 a year!
Being proved right doesn’t feel quite so good anymore.

Can’t believe it but Robert Redford has passed away at 89. I’m getting on and he has always been around with some truly great films both as an actor and director.

The only information we haven’t been given so far is his inside leg measurement!
