Discrepancy in reporting Youth Offending Team inspection Results

It seems a pity that, when the Council reported on the results of HM Probation Service inspection of Wandsworth YOT (on front page) the one area in which the Team was found to have room for improvement was not mentioned (see latest front page report). Otherwise the Team were judged to be "Good" in most areas of their work and "Outstanding" in three areas - in other words a very good over all result.It seems dishonest to omit the one area in which the YOT needed to improve, especially as knife crime is so horrifying just now.

No new vote on May's deal without DUP support

This is now beyond a joke.  By law, we are supposed to leave the EU on 29 March 2019 and there is no deal supported by Parliament on the table. I know politics many times is a catch-and-seek game, but this is beyond the pale!!https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-47602746

35mm cafe? Is it still happening?

It looks like things have ground to a halt on that site (was the betting shop next to Dyas I think). Just wondered if anyone knew anything ? Nick Gulliford perhaps? Thanks

Begum Baby

Now that it's been confirmed Begum's baby is dead I am shocked that there isn't a long weeping and wailing thread about it. Where are all the Guardian reading, angst-ridden hand wringers this morning?🤔In particular, Bunny, Lucille and Caroline who all castigated me for referring to ISIS-lover Begum as "it" in a previous thread? Bunny apparently reported my post and the moderator removed it.  Lucille and Caroline also joined in, as shown below. Macbeth anyone?🙄Bunny 20.2.19 13.47"Sue, your use of "it" and "it's" in the context of describing a human being is so incredibly offensive I am seriously thinking of reporting you."Lucille 20.2.19 13.57"Same here Bunny. Sue shows her true light."Caroline 20.2.19 15.44"By dehumanising Shamima Begum Sue is behaving in very much the same way as ISIS does towards those it dislikes."So, Caroline compared me to ISIS but that was apparently okay? Unfortunately I didn't see it at the time otherwise I would have reported her. Anyway, back on topic. Where are all the Begum sympathisers this morning?

tariff

With the suggested tariffs on meat and dairy produce apparently going to rocket sky high if there is no deal,at least vegans will be happy.To people with a relatively high income, no problem.  To the rest of us we will become vegan by default!

Amazon Spoof Emails?

Yesterday I received two emails in very quick succession from Amazon which look dodgy to me so I have c&p'd them below:AMAZON 22.41     "Password assistanceTo verify your identity, please use the following code:883830Amazon takes your account security very seriously. Amazon will never email you and ask you to disclose or verify your Amazon password, credit card, or banking account number. If you receive a suspicious email with a link to update your account information, do not click on the link—instead, report the email to Amazon for investigation.We hope to see you again soon." AMAZON 22.41"Thanks for visiting Amazon.com! Per your request, we have successfully changed your password.Visit Your Account at Amazon.com to view your orders, make changes to any order that hasn't yet entered the shipping process, update your subscriptions, and much more.Should you need to contact us for any reason, please know that we can give out order information only to the name and e-mail address associated with your account. Thanks again for shopping with us."I did not ask Amazon at any time for assistance with my password (or anything else) and forwarded both of these emails to stop-spoofing@amazon.com to ask if they are genuine or not, but I just received generic replies basically advising me to be careful! I am now reluctant to use Amazon, or even change my password in case that triggers something horrible.🙀Has anybody else received these emails and what did you do? Mtia.

Our Lady of Victories School

It seems that the school has been found cheating over its Sats. Really quite shocking. Rather tarnishes their reputation as their Sats have now been annulled .http://www.putneysw15.com/default.asp?section=info&page=conolv001.htm

Happy Happy Friday

This is a Brexit free zone. All positive vibes here.I've found out that my grandchild to be is a boy. I almost feel sorry for the little fella, he will be so spoilt LOL. Off car shopping this weekend as of course the baby will need one. We may also have to sort the spare room so baby can stay over....or maybe I buy a new house....too much? ;-)Have a fabulous weekend one and all.

Receiving £120 grant to support Social or Educative project

Dear All,I have been going round different platform to promote an incentive we put in place at the beginning of the year. We wanted to grant £120 every month to support any projects with a social or educational purpose.Basically for a couple of years we were supporting only PAC-UK https://www.pac-uk.org/inoculand-forms-first-charitable-relationship-pac-uk/But we want to reach a wider range of community. We already found our first recipient Oasis Children's Venture https://oasisplay.org.uk/ who will receive the Grant for April 2019 https://www.inoculandpestcontrol.co.uk/diversity-and-community/Now what we need is other projects to support. We do not have the means to do the vetting of the projects. So it will have to go through an organisation that will receive the money. The gift will then need to be acknowledge on their website in a post linking to our Diversity and Community page.The money could help towards helping a football team getting some new gear, funding a charity, help a family in need. And the organisation could be a church, a school, a charity or any kind of association.So I hope this will reach far and wide and that you will contact us soon.Regards,Daniel

2nd Referendum

The vote sank like a stone in Parliament today. Emphatically crushed 334 to 85. Oh dear ...

Roxie's

Has anyone eaten at Roxie's in the URR? Looks like a good old meat feast (a treat after all the recent salad, yum) any comments?

Theresa May, Double Standards

Mrs May won’t countenance a second referendum on the basis that she intends to deliver the Brexit that was ‘democratically’ voted for.However, having lost two ‘democratic’ votes on her shambolic exit agreement it is intended that May will have a third, and possibly fourth vote etc🤔

Tonight's vote - where do we go from here?

I know many people expected the Government would lose the vote - where to now?Another vote tomorrow and another the following day.The question is, how did we get into this mess and, more importantly, how can the UK recover from it?
