I have just read that Rother Council, when talking about the drownings at Camber Sands in the summer, cites ânon-swimming persons of a certain cultureâ as the reason the men drowned.
I wonder, does Barry work for Rother Council?

latest news! The UN Security Council is going to kick the shit out of Israel after America gave it the go ahead (I may have misunderstood the story)
I am sure the Israelis will see it as a final âfuck youâ from Obama. They were already fucked off about his plan to bring Iran in from the cold, which must have put the kibosh on a lot of long term plans.
Donât think Trump can trump this either. The resolution wonât be heard again.
the Nigerians reckon theyâve ousted Boko Haram from their forest hideout. I wonder if theyâve managed to save any of those schoolgirls that went missing about 3 years ago.
This seems bloody appalling. The person in this article was a child at the time.

They are still missing, the headline is a little misleading.
Itâs kind of uncomfortable but Boko Haram doesnât make the news as itâs in Africa, so less newsworthy. Last 5 years 1000âs of people have disappeared.
this is an interesting one⌠Woman released and pardoned after president intervenes and magistrates refuse to. For me, the woman has been through enough and itâs right that she is free. But is it right that one mans intervention should go against the law of the land?
Yipe. Fair to say Bibi doesnât take international criticism well.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told New Zealandâs foreign minister that his countryâs sponsoring of the UN anti-settlement resolution was a âdeclaration of warâ.
Mr Netanyahu has also lashed out at President Barack Obama after Fridayâs Security Council vote, on which the United Statesâ abstention marked a break with tradition, and called the action a âshameful ambushâ.

Worse than that, in many respects, is Israelâs threat to withdraw aid from Senegal, who also voted in favour of the resolution. No less than one would expect from Netanyahu of course - all the more so given that his government is dependent on the support of some seriously unpleasant, hardline parties.
Israel uses the party list system in their elections. On paper, itâs one of the most proportional systems in the world. Each party picks a list that could theoretically fill the whole house. If a party attains forty percent of the vote, the first forty percent of its list goes into Parliament. Lovely in theory. No-one is disenfranchised proportionally.
Critics would say that thereâs no local link, and that parties can stack their lists so that favoured candidates would always be near the top of the list and there would be absolutely fuck all local culpability or accountability save for the more regional authorities. National political dynasties could continue unabated.
Defenders would say it makes it much easier to wholesale unseat a political establishment if people donât like what they see. Morrissey might quickly get his wish of an England without Labour or Tory under the party list system. Anyone rolling up with enough votes, or as Fowylld points out, enough votes and the support of some fringe folk with (ahem) more specific needs (with concessions, of course).
Iâm honestly not sure whether party list is a bad system per se. Israel ainât the best place to judge it.
Working overnight and the latest Twitter rumours are one of the royals has pegged it but thereâs a media blackout . My moneyâs on Phil the Greek.
It could be Ricky Tomlinson - heâs getting on a bit and heâs no stranger to a fry-up.
Not the first time Iâve heard this. Juvenile Unit #1 was going on about it when I got in last night.
Perhaps more concrete is the fact that the US has expelled 35 Russian diplomats, citing involvement in Russian election hacks. Does make me wonder whether Trump will take office. The Obama administration is going all out to discredit him.
