I just wish someone would give the Boris boy a bloody comb.
Why?
He wouldn't know what to do with it!

My unkempt mop led to my 'winning' a 3 foot long giant comb at the Squadron Christmas Draw. By mid-January, I had managed to lose it without even trying. I suspect Boris would do likewise.

- I rather suspect that would have been his 'image-making' team's orders - "Even if you cannot behave like a PM, at least try and look like one".

It is noticeable now that as he slouches along, his instinctive 'stick my mitts in my pockets' is being stopped jn its tracks.

I dread having him and John Barron running both countries.

BOAC, one reason why I didn't like Rory S at the 5* debate, or the Leader of the Opposition whose shirt doesn't fit and tie is not properly tied.

Just seen today's paper. yesterday, 1155, East Sheen, both hands in pockets. 2.30, jacket unbuttoned, tie tail visible. Why doesn't he tuck it in the look at the back?

1pm RHS Wisley, fascinating conversation with OAP. Both their mouths open so obviously shouting each other down.

Channel 4 TV competing with BBC for bias award?

Great glee this evening on Channel4 News over Nigel Farage alleged expenses/benefits sin against Brussels money fiddling rules.

However, nowhere can I find Channel 4 TV highlighting this scandal?

And more on this story:

https://www.thenewfederalist.eu/barroso ... ean-ethics

Apparently a clutch of EU nations got together to request H M B be stripped of his EU pension but no info as to what ensued.

Our broadcasters are turning to the old USSR ways of reporting.

Whatever the merit/morality/ethics/legality of the case, I don't see how you can remove a pension which he has contributed to, most of the co-ordinated organisations have pension schemes which staff members pay in to, with NATO it was about 9% of gross salary.

Well this lot think it's both possible and desirable.
And not a UK swivel-eyed fruitcake in sight?
But not a lot about it in the UK news meeja at the time.

Today's newspaper reports that despite the chacters in "Toy Story 4" being differently coloured and voiced by ethnic minority and/or mixed-race actors, the BBC has denounced the film as "unacceptably white" and "anti-feminist, disablist, racist and heteronormative."

Didn't know there was a Toy Story 4. So of course if the commie media clowns are against it then I'll watch it.

I can't keep up with all the latest leftist PC crap. What the hell is a disablist and a heteronormative FFS?

The fact the story is about toys seems to have escaped them.

How dare you be so unparliamentary with me sir as to accuse me of fake news fabrication. In today's "The Times" issue number 72885, page five, entitled "To inclusivity and beyond: Toy Story 4 accused of racism.'

Well IMHO Emmerdale has too many non-whites in the cast and the BBC also has too many presenters of Asian origin in relation to the UK population and not enough African ones.

The simple explanation might be that most Asians are well-educated and can read and speak coherently, most Africans are not, and their lips would get caught up in the auto-cue.

Although I notice they all speak the Queen's English except when they are acting as an afro-carib or similar.
