Roy Larner and London Bridge

Well, I think that he deserves something for apparently standing his ground and having a go, despite his views and previous misdeeds. He was injured and is obviously in need of some help with his life. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7248059/Lion-London-Bridge-denied-compensation-injuries-criminal-record.htmlAs he said in an interview “For once in my life I did the right thing”.

Upper Richmond Road crossing

Reading the news story on the front page just now I was surprised to learn that another gym is being proposed for the old Carpetright store.There are already plenty of gyms in Putney - a few yards away alone is the Daley Thomson one  and there is Virgin on the other side of the High Street.As for this crossing being a  danger - living close to it I've noticed it is always busy at the end of the school day but otherwise the only problem occurs when cars queue to park in Sainsbury's and hold traffic up.

Trump tweets racism, but he has learnt a new word

"Of the four congresswomen, three - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley - were born and raised in the US, while the fourth, Ilhan Omar, moved to the US as a child."In a three-tweet thread, Mr Trump accused the congresswomen of "viciously" criticising him and the US.He wrote: "So interesting to see 'progressive' Democrat congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful nation on earth, how our government is to be run."Why don't they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done."These places need your help badly, you can't leave fast enough. I'm sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!""https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-48982172But he has started to use the word "inept". So he can learn.

EU spending on Trade Unions

I have been wracking my brain wondering why some of the trade unions are supporting the EU and the Remain vote in recent years.It's certainly causing conflict between the workers and the Trade Unions.Really strange as even Jeremy Corbyn has said on the record many times that freedom of movement supresses working class wages, and you would have thought the trade unions would naturally be against the lower wages.Low and behold some financial figures were released recently showing where some of the EU money goes as below:From Claire Fox's twitter page.WWF (€45,762,505)OECD (€30,523,562)RSPB (€19,630,265)LSE (€18,333,273)Friends of the Earth (€17,112,870)PwC (€16,304,778) Institute for Fiscal Studies (€7,400,974)CBI (€1,350,737)NUS (€767,196)TUC (€763,473)Standard & Poor's (€745,189)GMB (€372,945)UNITE the union (€283,788)Unison (€188,893)International Monetary Fund (€168,138)NFU (€133,842)Communication Workers Union (€25,097)Total (€159,878,761)Whilst some of the above are good causes, I'm absolutely furious that they fund our biggest trade unions in this country, and in return they get the union vote.#draintheswamp

Labour not for the Manny or the Jews

Well the cats right out the bag now. Gagging orders,  attacks on whistleblowers where are the Corbyn groupies that normally populate this site.? Surely if it was Borus or the Tories we'd have cut and pastes from all kind of publications.

Liberal sympathy for paedophiles in the modern world

After the many years of the BBC turning a blind eye to their own paedophilia within, and the MSM covering up for many years the child grooming gang culture in the UK, this recent Ted talk video is worth a watch as it sums up the modern Europe.I'd imaging a few of the Liberals on this site agree with this girls speech, typical of the Liberal view these days.https://twitter.com/Doranimated/status/1150230972761350144

Gina Miller

Why Gina Miller would think that a letter from her to Boris would make him concede to her demand that he informs her before he puts into action any plans he has for No Deal, I fail to see.  She isn't even a politician.  All in the name of democracy, of course.

Monetization of this site

I happened to wander over to www.chiswickw4.com this morning and noticed that their news articles all have a begging note at the bottom asking for people to donate to help fund the site.You can see an example here: http://www.chiswickw4.com/default.asp?section=info&page=concrime1047.htmI wonder how long before we'll start getting these too?

Champagne socialists

Yet more hypocrisy from the Champagne socialists.Corbynite councillor Nick Childs who speaks on twitter of his 'socialist vision' sends his daughter to a £40,000 a year private girls school.He had previously said 'the privatisation fetish won't provide good education for our children'This is after Diane Abbott was challenged a few years ago for sending her son to a fee paying school, even though she speaks out about private schools.The hypocrisy from the left. You couldn't make this s**t up!I can't believe I was a member of this party for the first 4 years under Bliar in 97. What the hell was I thinking!This backward thinking regressive party now wracked with hypocrisy and antisemitism.After Bliar took us into an illegal war the Labour party have been on a downward spiral ever since. With the mess in the Tory party, the Labour party should be steaming ahead in the polls but instead latest polls suggest Labour are only on 20%. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7231707/EXCL-Corbynite-councillor-charge-schools-sends-daughter-40-000-year-Roedean-School.htmlPS....It's a shame the Liberal elitist Bliar doesn't come out in public anymore, as I am still hopeful a member of the public again tries to do a citizens arrest on him for war crimes.Bliar is yet another one of these elitists that preaches open borders to the rest of us, but hides away from the public behind the security of his Fort Knox compound.

Whistle-blowing?

"Security forces have reportedly identified a suspect behind the leaking of confidential memos from Britain's ambassador to the US." (ES)Remind, leaks, gagging and whistle-blowing - good or bad?Is this person going to be adulated as a public-spirited hero or attacked as a biased political? Spin the wheel!!

Clever campaign from the mayor’s office. https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/about-tfl/air-qualityWould love to see Wandsworth pick up the pace on healthy streets and improve air quality, but won’t hold my breath (though maybe I should).

Spited to death?

Will Trump's hatred be worth thousands of dead?"Donald Trump abandoned the Iran nuclear deal as an act of ‘diplomatic vandalism’ to spite his predecessor Barack Obama, Britain’s Ambassador to Washington wrote in a bombshell memo to Downing Street.Sir Kim Darroch’s claim – made after Boris Johnson made a doomed trip to the White House to change the President’s mind – is revealed in leaked cables and briefing notes which led to Sir Kim’s resignation last week."https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7244539/Trump-axed-Iran-deal-spite-Obama-British-ambassador-says-Trumps-actions-diplomatic-vandalism.html
