📰 The latest news!

The whole furore about Oxfam is just another diversion by the Government to avert eyes away from their disastrous policies which are dragging this country into the mire. Ooh look over there - a squirrel! They are just responding to the dog whistling from the Mail and Express in their campaigns to stop overseas aid. The idea that Priti Patel, the honourable member for Tel Aviv, Penny Mordaunt, the member for Jerusalem, indeed any of the right wing rabble currently in Government care two hoots about exploited women in the third world is risible.

While in no way defending the behaviour of the few rogue Oxfam workers, if the Government are threatening to withold funding from Oxfam because a few aid workers used prostitutes, can we assume that this principle will be applied consistently across the board to all recipients of public money? There will be some huge savings to be made in the MOD budget if we hold the army and navy to the same standards. Of course the Government’s "moral concern"is politically selective in it’s targets. I am willing to bet that more MPs use prostitutes than do aid workers. Do we withold public funding for them? And listening to Ministers criticising Oxfam while at the same time supporting wholesale slaughter in Yemen, for example, makes me want to puke.

Us oldies have been saying this for years. We are a generation whose only medication growing up was Detol on a pad of cotton wool when you fell over and grazed your knee and Vic ointment on your chest for a cold. Didn’t know a single kid with an allegy when I was at school.

I’m sure my mum used detol because she knew it would cause us to scream in agony and she could say “it will do you good” :lou_lol:

Post it in all 3 and start a new thread, it applies to all.

The visit heralds an interesting change in power politics - arguably it heralds the era where post Brexit we will now have to assume the position and take it up the arse compared to when we had any influence in the world and made Johnny Foreigner do the same. I sense the wheel turning.

Pep Guardiola gets a ÂŁ20,000 fine after admitting the charge of wearing a yellow ribbon, ostensibly in support of the incarcerated Catalonian politicians and their human rights.

I might have more sympathy for him if he wasn’t being a tad hypocritical. Remind me who owns Man City? Oh yes, an autocratic Middle Eastern regime who locks people up without trial.

Katy Perry kills nun!

:astonished:

Sister Catherine Rose spoke to Fox11 LA hours before her collapse in what may have been her final interview.

She issued a direct plea to the singer, saying: “To Katy Perry, please stop. It’s not doing anyone any good except hurting a lot of people.”

Meanwhile in Greece. they take pitch invasions one step further than the Hammers fans

Chairman of PAOK walks onto pitch and confronts ref about a disallowed goal CARRYING A GUN.

Despite the invasion beginning before 90 minutes had been completed, the match did not restart. There were claims that the goal may have been awarded after all, leaving fans to wait for the referee’s report to discover the confirmed result.

AEK’s Spanish coach Manolo Jimenez saw the firearm and claims to have heard Savvidis threatening the referee verbally.

‘We didn’t know if he had a gun, then we saw it,’ Jimenez told Cadena SER. ‘It could be seen that he was moving his hand towards his waist because he had a gun.’

Jimenez added: 'He threatened the referee right in front of me. According to my interpreter, he told him: ‘You’re finished as a referee’.
