BBC News fails to understand the word kidnap (again).

My brother and I met our new grand niece Evelyn for the first time yesterday. It took both of us to feed her (supervised by Mum and Granny).

Winter hits Hornsea with the first snow of the season. Exactly the same date as last year.

Thatโ€™s it. The big 70. A few days in Cape Verde with the family to celebrate the occasion.

Every time the BBC reported on something that I had knowledge about and experience of they failed spectacularly. I have extrapolated this and now switch off all โ€œnewsโ€ programmes.

Tesco ran a programme in their distribution centres 20 years ago. Everyone agreed that it was a total success except for very senior managers in HQ.

If you place a Black woman, an Irish woman, a Jewish woman & a Traveller woman, all in casual clothing, in a lineup, the Black woman's race would be the only one visually identifiable.
This argument that got Diane Abbott suspended from the Labour Party but it is an undeniable truth

Beverley Golf Club has an exception. They can drown their greens while charity car wash are banned.

Diane has been in the Labour Party since it was left wing. She is criticising the Starmer temporary version.

Starmtroopers donโ€™t understand nuance. Especially when it comes from a black woman.

Obviously, they donโ€™t like socialists or people that understand racism

Labour looking into Abbott's comments about racism The veteran Labour MP has told the BBC she stands by comments that led to a year-long suspension from the party.

Starmer is an absolute joke!
When ICE agents in the US are detaining folks for their skin colour, what Abbott said is factually correct
The phoney charge of antisemitism is worn out.

I wonder what political event changed things in 1979? May she continue to rot in hell.

Exactly right. Vulture capitalism used against the vultures.
