- ian - is that supposition or factual since there were supposedly some non-Asians involved? Do you have a link?

Sorry, I hadn't seen that there were non-Asians involved.

The question was, ian, was your statement based on fact or supposition?

Supposition, factious supposition at that, as I had only seen mention of males of Pakistani origin.

Leyton machete attack: Van driver guilty of wounding PC https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-51205548

And this Wild-Eyed Hairy-Faced F*cker gets off an attempted murder charge?

No wonder UK Plod are demoralised and chasing easier targets during their stressful shifts on duty, instead of dealing with those who should not be permitted to consume our dwindling reserves of oxygen. [-X

Ah, come on - he'll get at least 6 months suspended sentence (and not properly 'suspended'...)

On a different tack, I am 'discovering' my new 'Shoe-horned-in' MP Andrew Griffith had previously resigned as a Cabinet minister and has now been divorced by his wife (who is now standing in his old constituency after he was de-selected) for 'sexual impropriety' as well as being Boris's sexual (sorry - that should read) business advisor. No-one can accuse this SAFE constituency of being boring, going from an 'outed' MP to a philanderer.

I do wonder how much input the local Conservative association had in the selection process, though.

Well obviously Andrew Griffith was experienced when it came to ‘input’?!

Had a talk by a vicar, ex-female PC.

At a routine stop she was attacked by a number of males, knocked to the ground and assaulted. Her arm was broken yet she managed to hang onto the one who broke her arm with that broken arm. He got 6 months suspended.

She retired and became a security officer at Heathrow.

Anyone have any updates on:

1) The 'delayed' release of the report on Russian interference; delayed before Christmas for government 'perusal' (so as not to affect the election?)

2) The promise of "40 new hospitals"?

Anyone care?

From the pictures on the BBC news, it looks like they've commandeered the world's supply of excavators to clear the site. There's too many to count.

Meanwhile back in the UK again;

Veterans' charity Combat Stress stops new referrals over funding crisis https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51243098

But the UK can afford to dig lots of holes in other people’s homes, to pour unknown thousands of millions of £s Sterling into said holes, to pause halfway through the project and to call it a major transport infrastructure improvement which might never be finished.

P N. I’m baffled by your comment as I’m old and losing it. Can you elaborate please?
