Bottomless pit

Can the Labour party sink lower than claiming that Nigel Farage is Jimmy Savile’s best mate? Sure, it can! So much for the promise from Beer Smarmer, who didn’t prosecute Savile when DPP, to restore dignity to politics and clean it up.
    Just another Beer lie.

Time’s up

A phrase which is long overdue for replacement is “our thoughts are with”. It may be delivered sincerely but it is a tired old cliche which invites an automatic “Yeah, right.”

Has to be an aberration

Gulp! The Work & Pensions Sec. has appointed a Sicknote Tsar to tell skivers that not appreciating being told what to do by their boss is not a mental ’elf ishue and an entitlement to benefits.

Worth a try

The obvious solution to the problem of a Palestinian homeland is to make the west bank of the River Jordan the state and leave Gaza as just one of Israel’s occupied enclaves for the moment.
    That’s pragmatism in action.
    As pointed out by the experts like Mark Almond, a divided Pakistan didn’t work and we now have Pakistan and Bangladesh. Why apply the same failed ‘solution’ to Gaza and the West Bank? Like Serbia Smarmer is currently advocating. All he’s really concerned about is keeping the Moslem vote in 100 constituencies here and their MPs on-side.

One permitted tier?

The protest at the migrant hotel at Epping in Essex is turning into a prime example of Labour’s Two Tier justice.
    The locals who feel at risk from the hotel’s undocumented residents are being labelled far-Right. The far-Left agitators who turn up for three-quarters of an hour or so get a police escort.
    And the Home Office has an army of coppers monitoring the internet for comments which fail to meet far-Left requirements so that those who made them can be persecuted.
    A government mouthpiece should have said: “Free speech is fundamental to our democracy but we’ve taken robust action to abolish it, including through the Online Safety Act.”

People Trap

It’s not just their trains that have earned the company the tag Notwork Rail. Their lifts at stations are trapping record numbers of passengers – usually elderly people with bulky luggage and the disabled who use a wheelchair.
    Rescues were up 24% in the 12 months up to March of this year.
