Brandon Lewis (Tory MP) and 'savaging' is something Marr is incapable of doing, Marr is no Andrew Neil.

I know

I did miss the name.

Now Gary Neville putting the boot into the racist NoSho Johnson:

Football commentator and pundit Gary Neville blamed Boris Johnson’s election rhetoric on immigrants and immigration for fuelling the number of racist incidents in British society and sport.

Neville was speaking after the Manchester derby, which saw United defeat City 2-1. The result, however, was overshadowed by an incident during the second half of the game that appeared to show a City fan making a monkey gesture towards a United player.

Speaking on television afterwards, Neville linked the incident with the political leaders debate on the BBC on Friday evening.

“You are watching the prime minister’s debate where he is talking about migration to this country and people having to have certain levels. It fuels it all the time. It has got worse over the last few years in this country and not just in football,” said Neville, a former Manchester United and England international.

Marr was savaging some Tory MP (security brief) on the release of the Russian report, says it will get published.

When I say savaging, let him off after some stern glowering and lame questions.

iPlayer 9:25 wish I would guess. On the SNP leader now.

Quite a good technical report on the origin of some of the recent Russian leaks that Corbyn has been peddling.

Operators keen to hide their identities disseminated leaked UK/US trade documents in a similar fashion to Russian operation “Secondary Infektion,” exposed in June 2019

Just listening to Pienarr's Politics on 5 Live and he gave Rebecca Long-Bailey a massive kicking over Labour anti-semitism including the Simon Wiesenthal centre.

She did her best to answer with the usual obfuscation but it was pretty terrible.

I realise that goes against the 'BBC are all lefties' brief. Perhaps someone should ring in?

Anyone with a hint of Momentum lunacy about them is all over Twitter screaming about how the BBC are a the mouthpiece of the rich right

Everyone seems to hate auntie.

Probably wants Lineker's job as virtue signaller in chief

Only in their world are immigration controls racist.

Just goes to show that they're doing a reasonable job of being impartial, despite the many frothings on here.

I was listening to that too - I really like John Pienaar and overall I think the BBC's coverage of this election has been impartial. I also thought Nick Robinson was very fair on Friday night's debate.

Rebecca Long-Bailey typifies the current crop of keen, young-ish but not very bright Labour politicians. Others include Angela Rayner, Richard Burgon, Dawn Butler and Laura Pidcock. All full of energy, but let down by their lack of intelligence.

Should Labour crash and burn on Thursday, I wonder which of them will start their leadership campaign on Friday morning? And I wonder how gushing they will be about Saint Jeremy with the bitter taste of defeat in their mouths?

Interesting read, I skimmed it and will settle down later for a proper read. Never expected this to be a recent thing and I expect there is a lot hanging around for activation and use, seems to be a theme. It will continue post exit.

Meanwhile.
Interesting if true.
NHS data (from a NHS website, don't think it is patient data directly) given to Amazon. Times put in a FOI request but paywall for me, cropped up on twitter.

Then
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/dec/07/n...

I wouldn't trust anonymised data and pretty much trust the US to after the full set of data in any deals as a requirement to get a price for the drugs.

you seem very keen on bigging up non existent political violence i have yet to see any vandalised political posters or indeed arson attacks on peoples houses.

if this is happening in your area perhaps it might be good for your blood pressure to move to somewhere more civilised.

[Tyre Smoke]

Plenty of defaced posters around here. No burning houses though.

A few round here.
Lib Dem sign torched and the replacement defacted with "Brexit Now".
Labour advert smashed up.
Tory banner in a farmer's field has "Liar" sprayed on it.

So pretty even really ..

I personally don't put one up because I feel it would invite unwanted attention. Rural Conservative voting areas are full of economically ignorant meathead thugs.

All that money can make you that way

The funny thing is, these are not wealthy people doing the meat headed thuggery. They are game shoot beaters and estate labourers who live in tied cottages, highly dependent on the crumbs their feudal masters deem to brush from the table. It's all they've ever known. Stockholm Syndrome, in action.

I'm now fully on board with the account hijack and troll thing



Please fk off

Yep. I met someone at work who claimed to be Mobile Chicane a few years ago and there is no way that this is the same person unless they have experienced a serious head injury.

Didn't we have a couple of hacked accounts during the last election?

Whatever, I also think the account has been hijacked.

Thanks for the link, I've taken their advice and changed my password to coffeetrainfish. It's so obscure no one will ever guess it.
