Brexit
Breitbart
The British people defied the forcefully expressed wishes of the political establishment and confounded the expectations of pollsters on this day four years ago when they voted by a margin of 52 to 48 to leave the European Union, but the country still faces the possibility of getting nothing more than a “Brexit in name only” stitch-up. Voting took place on June 23rd 2016 and the results came in through the early hours of the 24th. While even on-the-day exit polls predicted a remain victory, when the actual results started rolling in, it became clear this was not the case, with bellwethers like Sunderland and Nuneaton voting to leave. Having conceded defeat after seeing polling at 10pm of polling day, Brexit leader Nigel Farage was cautiously declaring victory by four am the following morning in his now-famous “dare to dream” speech. The surprise result — with polling in the runup to the vote overwhelmingly suggesting the government-supported position of remaining in the European Union would prevail in the vote — was followed by a four-year rearguard action by pro-Europe politicians from all parties in the UK Parliament.
Lockdown lift
Sun
BORIS Johnson announced a raft of lockdown changes as Brits can rejoice in seeing many businesses and services reopen. But the Prime Minister has warned that he will not hesitate to ‘reverse’ lockdown should there be a second wave, although admits there is currently no risk of it. Mr Johnson revealed the two-metre social distancing restriction will be reduced to ‘one metre plus’ from July 4 in England.
Mail
Boris Johnson tonight dramatically unwound the coronavirus lockdown to bring the country out of ‘hibernation’ – with a return for pubs, haircuts and weddings and family and friends getting the green light to meet up indoors for the first time in months. The PM said he wanted to ‘make life easier’ after an ‘incredibly tough time’ with bars, restaurants, cinemas and hairdressers in England able to get back up and running from July 4 – dubbed ‘Super Saturday’. Taking the Downing Street briefing this evening, he announced that the social distancing rule is being halved to ‘one metre plus’ to free up thousands of business, with precautions such as face masks deployed to make sure the risks of transmission stay ‘broadly’ the same.
Times
Boris Johnson yesterday began the process of freeing England from lockdown, declaring “our great national hibernation is coming to an end”. The bulk of the country’s hospitality, leisure and tourism industries will be able to restart from July 4 as the coronavirus infection rate continues to fall. Pubs, restaurants, hairdressers and cinemas can open if they are deemed to be safe. To allow them to operate, Mr Johnson announced that the two-metre social distancing rule will be replaced by a new “one-metre plus” regime, insisting that mitigations such as face coverings gave a “broadly equivalent” protection at the shorter distance.
Second wave
Telegraph
As the Prime Minister announced the beginning of the end of the nation’s hibernation on Tuesday, health leaders urged caution amid concerns of a second wave of coronavirus. As part of the biggest return of freedom since lockdown was enforced, families and friends will be able to mingle indoors and even go on holiday together from July 4. Pubs and restaurants will reopen and the two metre rule will be reduced to one metre. But health leaders have called for an urgent review to ensure Britain is properly prepared for the “real risk” of a renewed outbreak over winter.
Mail
Boris Johnson’s medical and science chiefs have both warned that Britain will continue to be plagued by coronavirus until next spring. Chief medical officer Chris Whitty and Chief Scientific Adviser Sir Patrick Vallance appeared alongside the Prime Minister at today’s Downing Street briefing as Mr Johnson unveiled a relaxation of lockdown rules. The PM said he wanted to ‘make life easier’ after an ‘incredibly tough time’ with bars, restaurants, cinemas and hairdressers in England able to get back up and running from July 4 – dubbed ‘Super Saturday’.
BBC News
Health leaders are calling for an urgent review to determine whether the UK is properly prepared for the “real risk” of a second wave of coronavirus. In an open letter published in the British Medical Journal, ministers were warned that urgent action would be needed to prevent further loss of life. The presidents of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons, Nursing, Physicians, and GPs all signed the letter. It comes after Boris Johnson announced sweeping changes to England’s lockdown. On Tuesday, the prime minister said pubs, restaurants, cinemas and hairdressers will be able to reopen from 4 July.

Health leaders are calling for an urgent review to ensure Britain is properly prepared for the “real risk” of a second wave of coronavirus. Ministers have been warned that urgent action is needed to prevent further loss of life and to protect the economy amid growing fears of a renewed outbreak in the winter. The appeal is backed by the presidents of the Royal Colleges of Physicians, Surgeons, GPs and Nursing – as well as the chairman of the British Medical Association.
Education
Telegraph
All children returning to school in September is “pure fantasy”, headteachers have said, warning that there will not be enough space in classrooms even with the new “one metre plus” rule. Unions told ministers that reducing social distancing from two metres to “one-metre plus” is not a “magic bullet”, urging them to come up with a strategy to reopen schools that is “based in reality”. Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister, on Tuesday announced that the public will be expected to observe “one-metre plus” from July 4. Mr Johnson told the Commons that formal childcare will restart over the summer, and that primary and secondary schools will reopen in September with “full attendance”.
Sun
UNIONS are STILL refusing to support pupils going back to school – and say a new ‘one-metre plus’ social distancing rule isn’t a ‘magic bullet’. Boris Johnson today revealed the strict two-metre rule will be relaxed on July 4 in a bid to kick-start the economy. It’ll be replaced with a ‘one-metre plus’ distance, which allows Brits to get closer to one another – but only with ‘mitigations’ like masks in place. And the Prime Minister said education will begin in September with “full attendance” across both primary and secondary schools. But the chief of a school leaders’ union has hit out at the plans – and says it’s “pure fantasy” for the PM to say all children will be accommodated in the autumn.
Sunlight
Mail
Sunlight can kill the coronavirus in just 30 minutes, according to a study that comes as the UK gears up for its hottest week of the year. Virologists found powerful ultraviolet (UV) light could destroy 90 per cent of Covid-19 that had been coughed or sneezed onto a surface in just half an hour. Separate studies have claimed the sun can also almost completely wipe out parts of the virus lingering in the air in just six minutes. The coronavirus that causes Covid-19 – called SARS-CoV-2 – is covered in a protective casing that degrades under the warmth of the body when it infects someone.
Haircuts
Mail
A shaggy-haired Boris Johnson has revealed hairdressers will be allowed to reopen from July 4. The Prime Minister told the House of Commons stylists can take customers providing they use appropriate precautions such as wearing visors. But clients could face a three-month waiting list for a trim and some businesses said they will reopen at midnight to help clear the huge backlog. Appointments are already full for the first two weeks of July, with one London hairdresser preparing to work through a 2,000-strong queue. Mr Johnson said: ‘Almost as eagerly awaited as a pint will be a haircut, particularly by me, Mr Speaker.
Sun
SHAGGY-haired Brits will be able to get a professional haircut from July 4 after weeks of DIY disasters, Boris Johnson announced today. The Prime Minister said that hairdressers and barber shops can reopen with appropriate measures in place to keep staff and clients safe. The PM said today: “We will reopen hairdressers with appropriate precautions including the use of visors “We also intend to allow some other close contact services such as nail bars to reopen as soon as we are confident they can open in a Covid secure way.”
Facemasks
Times
The chief medical officer for England has told people not to get closer than two metres without being “incredibly serious” about precautions and doctors said that masks should be worn outside. Chris Whitty said people should stay two metres apart whenever they could and make sure they used mitigations such as masks, screens and facing away from each other if forced to be closer. Professor Whitty rowed back from suggestions that the two-metre rule would have to stay in place for the length of the pandemic, but said it should still be adhered to if possible.
Inquiry
Independent
Boris Johnson has rejected demands for an urgent independent inquiry into his government’s handling of the coronavirus crisis. The prime minister was challenged to call an inquiry by Liberal Democrat acting leader Ed Davey, but insisted it would not currently be “a good use of official time”. The clash came as MPs debated the prime minister’s dramatic relaxation of lockdown measures in England from 4 July. The changes, which allow pubs, restaurants and cafes to reopen and cut the two-metre social distancing rule to “one-metre plus”, were given a rapturous reception in the House of Commons by Tory MPs who queued up to invite the PM to visit venues in their constituencies.
Testing
Mail
Testing everyone for coronavirus every week could drive out the coronavirus without a second wave or another lockdown, according to scientists. Researchers led by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine said routine testing, contact tracing and household isolation could stop Covid-19 ‘quite quickly’. They said Britain should do a single-city trial of the system to see whether it could bring down new infections and deaths faster than the current situation. Applied nationwide, the policy would require 10million tests to be done every day – there are currently an average of 166,000 – and it could cost £1billion per month.
Sun
THERE are now so few Brits with Covid-19 it is impossible to test a vaccine here, an expert says. Prof Sarah Gilbert, of the University of Oxford, is trialling her potential jab abroad where infection rates are higher. A sufficient number of vaccinated volunteers have to be exposed to the virus to see if the injection protects them. But they are unlikely to encounter the bug in the UK because fewer than one in 1,700 have it. Prof Gilbert told a House of Lords committee: “We had the lockdown, which fortunately reduced transmission — not so fortunate for those of us trying to develop vaccines in the UK.”
White Lives Matter
Mail
Police investigating a Burnley football fan who chartered a plane and flew a ‘White Lives Matter’ banner above the Etihad stadium say no crime was committed. Jake Hepple, from Colne, near Burnley, claimed responsibility for last night’s pre-match stunt and wrote on Facebook: ‘I’d like to take this time to apologise… to absolutely f***ing nobody!’ The Suicide Squad, a group of far-right Burnley fans, are believed to have crowdfunded the flight and its message ‘White Lives Matter Burnley’, which flew over the stadium just after Manchester City and Burnley FC players had taken the knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Breitbart
Lancashire police have said their investigation into the flying of a “White Lives Matter” banner over a football match on Monday has found “no criminal offences”, despite the act causing outrage among top sporting celebrities. The force released a statement Tuesday afternoon, which followed them announcing an investigation into a single-engine aircraft dragging a message banner over a football match between Burnley and Manchester which read “White Lives Matter Burnley!”. Noting they had discovered no criminal offences to pursue, Lancashire police Chief Superintendent Russ Procter was quoted as saying in the statement: “Today Lancashire Constabulary has been in liaison with Greater Manchester Police, the Aviation Authority and the Crown Prosecution Service regards the ‘White Lives Matter’ banner that was flown over the Etihad Stadium last night.
Mail
Burnley have insisted they will give out lifetime bans to any supporters found to be involved with the flying of a ‘white lives matter’ banner before their game at Manchester City on Monday night. After Burnley and City players took a knee prior to kick off in support of the Black Lives Matter movement sweeping the world and sport, the banner in question was spotted above the Etihad, reading: ‘White Lives Matter Burnley’. It has caused outraged among the football community with many players and pundits slamming the stunt, and now Burnley have released a statement promising to come down hard on any fans found to be responsible.
Trade deal
Guardian
British and EU negotiators have hit a new obstacle to securing a trade and security deal after clashing over €70bn of subsidies handed to European farmers by Brussels, the Guardian can reveal. The EU’s negotiating team led by Michel Barnier was accused in the latest round of talks of seeking to block the government from defending British farmers from cut-price European imports. The row centres on the EU’s demand for what it is claimed would be an unprecedented commitment not to retaliate through tariffs on European goods even where it could be potentially shown that British farmers are being unfairly undercut.
Independent
Japan has given Britain just six weeks to sign up to a post-Brexit trade deal or face disruption to its imports and exports. In the latest sign that the “swashbuckling” drive to sign deals with countries around the world is proving less than straightforward, the UK could lose favourable access to Japanese markets it enjoyed as part of EU membership if no agreement is signed. UK negotiators also face the prospect of being bounced into a deal on unfavourable terms, as countries like Japan seek to use the reopening of talks to gain further concessions against the UK.
Breitbart
The United Kingdom and Japan are seeking to forge a free trade agreement in six weeks in order to get it passed during the current parliament in Japan. Set to be one of the fastest-signed deals in trading history, the two parties are aiming for a conclusion by the end of July, two weeks after talks were launched. This would also be the first bilateral trade deal the UK has signed for some 40 years, since becoming a member of the European Union. “To avoid a gap in January, we must pass this in the autumn session of the Diet [the Japanese parliament],” Tokyo’s chief trade negotiator Hiroshi Matsuura told the Financial Times. “That means we must complete negotiations by the end of July.”
WTO
Express
LORD PETER MANDELSON has been criticised for his bid to become the next leader of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), with some saying the former Labour Cabinet minister “will do anything for power”. The peer today revealed his ambitious plans as Britain gears up for the end of the Brexit transition period on December 31. As trade talks with the European Union drag on with no breakthrough in sight, an exit on WTO terms is looking more likely. Lord Mandelson, who served as Tony Blair’s political fixer said the trade body was “broken” and he laid out his plan to bring about change.
Cancer
Sun
PATIENTS with advanced cancer saw tumours vanish during trials of an “exciting” new drug. The cancer stopped growing in over half of those given the experimental treatment. Some even had their tumour shrink or disappear completely, the Institute of Cancer Research in London found. The study was designed to test the safety of berzosertib when taken for cancers including breast and bowel. It is unusual to see a clinical response to drugs at this stage. Nineteen volunteers with very advanced disease were given the pill alone and 21 with platinum chemotherapy. Doctors measured a response in 38 patients and found tumours stopped growing in 20 — 53 per cent. Among those who also had chemo, 71 per cent stabilised.
War memorials
Mirror
People who vandalise war memorials would face ten years in prison and an unlimited fine, under a new law being debated by MPs. The War Memorials Bill, introduced by Tory MP Jonathan Gullis today, would scrap the limit on fines and allow crown courts to hear cases on any desecration of monuments to war dead. Other crimes which command 10-year maximum sentences include the possession and sale of offensive weapons, cruelty to children and sexual assault. Mr Gullis told MPs: “The passage of time always presents the danger of dimmed collective recollections. Let us not forget the sacrifice and bravery of those who paid the ultimate price.
Parliament
Independent
Bullying and harassment complaints against MPs will not be debated in the House of Commons after a controversial proposal was amended. MPs voted by 243 votes to 238, majority five, in favour of Labour former minister Chris Bryant’s amendment, which ruled out debating complaints against them in the chamber. Commons Leader Jacob Rees-Mogg had tabled a motion to establish an independent expert panel to determine complaints of bullying or harassment under the Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS). Part of the motion would have enabled a constrained debate to take place, but it raised fears that complainants could be “re-victimised” if MPs were given the chance to speak about the case in public and stop victims coming forward.
Guardian
MPs have voted down controversial proposals introduced by the leader of the House of Commons, Jacob Rees-Mogg, that would have allowed them to debate complaints about serious bullying and harassment. In an open letter seen by the Guardian, past and present parliamentary staff, union leaders, MPs and women’s groups had accused Rees-Mogg of undermining a new independent system designed to prevent bullying and sexual harassment in parliament, by allowing MPs to debate serious sanctions made by a new independent expert panel (IEP). But on Tuesday evening, an amendment tabled by Labour MP Chris Bryant, which ruled out debating complaints against MPs in the chamber, passed by five votes – to the delight of parliamentary staffers and campaigners.
Breitbart says that 4 years after the Leave victory in the Referendum on the EU “the country still faces the possibility of getting nothing more than a Brexit In Name Only stitch-up.”
Only a possibility Breitbart? Given the contents of the misleadingly named Withdrawal Treaty, eagerly voted through in Westminster, “Brexit in Name Only” is not just a possibility, nor even a probability, but is an absolute certainty.
Only by nullifying the Withdrawal Treaty in some way ( Repeal? An Enabling Act?) can a genuine Brexit be made possible.
Ralph I`ve seen you post this or similar umpteen times.
This time as usual you seem to have had no response.
Is it because you are publishing an unsubstantiated personal opinion?
If so I think you will have to let us know who else supports your view authoritively
I understand and partly agree with Ralph and Roger. – Although the Conservatives have a large number of Tory voters who never think before voting, like other Parties have, the willful action against the people’s democratic wish will make them just another group like the Lib/Dems, and of no account ! – It’s no good looking to Labour, as they don’t even know if their holes are bored or punched on this item ! – The door is wide open for a new Party, which could have gone to UKIP, until their internal lack of democracy made them unfit for the job ! – The people will ultimately win, because they have to win ! – Take heart friends. – Johnson is the man of the moment, but the moment will inevitably pass, and Johnson and the Tories will be seen as either Government or toast !
JUST A FOUR YEAR WAIT FOR BREXIT ! – I don’t remember this being mentioned in the run-up to our 2016 Referendum !
The EU really is a Tory thing. – A craven liar of a Tory PM took us into the EEC, dressed up as a Common Market ! – Nothing then for years, except many of our industries being closed ! – Then a drip of a Tory PM who was spooked by the rise of UKIP, arranged for a vote ! – He had no idea what the people thought, and spent our money to tell us that the EU was lovely, but the people went off his script and voted to leave ! – Being an utter drip, he didn’t have the balls to see through what he had started, and he resigned !
Then we gave the world a laugh, with another Tory PM ! – She wanted to part leave, while part staying, which was only possible if you had two faces and she knew it ! – Now we have yet another Tory PM, and he called a General Election to end the foolishness that the Commons had become, and made clear that a vote for him would bring in Brexit. – He was so surprised at ages old Labour seats voting for his Brexit, and he gained a handsome majority ! – So what will this Tory PM do ? – Brexit is now inevitable, thankfully !
He has set his face against a delay, due to the pandemic ! – If he changed his mind, or if any vestige of the EU remains into 2021, he will be seen as anti-democratic, as the people have given him clear instruction in this matter; – in the 2016 referendum, and again in the 2019 General Election, the majority voted to leave the EU ! – By the time we leave, as required by the voters, almost 54 months will have passed in futile drivel in Brussels ! – Time enough for nobody to ever say that the UK of GB were guilty of rushing ahead, and not giving full thought to the future !
Now, repeat after me Mike, “You can never, ever trust the Tory Party on Europe”!
No Jake I refuse.
Jake…..OK…..Here goes…..” you can never trust the Tory Party………..! Period!
That’s right Mike Maunder. No vestige of the EU to remain in the UK of GB after this year or he is toast. Oh we have made indecent haste haven’t we. Bit like certain wars we rushed into!
MM – don’t you know it’s a two year transition process? ooh, errr, . . . you might be right(!).
Thanks Debbie and Breitbart for that timely reminder. Also thanks Nigel Farage who continues to fight for Britain.
🙂
Why the shock and horror?
Who among us can deny that white lives matter, that statement has AS MUCH VALIDITY as the other…….all lives matter……and if I had known beforehand about the action these people took.
? Yes, I would have stuck in a few quid myself.
Well done those of you who told the world, just in case any of them wanted to know……that white lives do matter.
It is positively INFANTILE to say anything different.
Question…….do blacks think that white lives matter………….?
Oh, and by the way AMAZING as it may seem, EVEN our cowardly Police Hierachy have DECIDED, in their infinite wisdom…….
That NO crime has been committed.
How then can the cowards at the Burnley Football Club BAN those who arranged the event?
What would happen if those who organised the flight SUED Burnley?
It would be wonderful if all of those who decried these people, the managers/owners – whoever, were prosecuted.
THAT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE.
I daresay, no mention in the newspapers that the new leader of UKIP is Freddy Vaccha……………..
In my opinion Freddy Vachha has been plotting and scheming to get the leadership FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
But he has now ‘bought’ himself a ‘poisoned chalice’.
Members may well not leave in droves……..for the simple reason? The Membership is no longer calculated in droves.
But leave they will.
Of course very leader must have CONFIDENCE………..Vachha has instead a massive surplus of ARROGANCE.
Oh my! Little wonder that there was no mention by the Press……………had the Membership been enthusiastic about his appointment(?) they would have made sure the world knew about it.
It is so sad that a Party which accumulated around FOUR MILLION votes in its earlier life (without winning a seat!) ………..may well wither and die.
Amen.
On the other hand Misterpaul5a the fortunes of UKIP cannot get any worse so Freddy has everything to go for. He has a clean slate from which to start. Hopefully the regretable infighting has exhausted itself now and we can turn a new leaf thus it may turn out to be very propitious time for Freddy to take the helm.
Lets get behind him and get UKIP back in business.
Not quite clean yet, Freddy was tasked with the urgent duty of examining the cases of all those that were blacklisted via “not in good standing” etc. Such is the poor flow of information from UKIP I don’t know if he did so and came to any conclusion ( I left UKIP shortly after) but until that disgraceful episode is properly dealt with UKIP do not deserve to be called a libertarian party.. I personally don’t have any faith in them and there will need to be much done before that changes.
Jim As a long time member I don’t underestimate the mountain the party has to climb. The handover from Nigel was always going to be a trauma for the Party but I shall give them my full support as there is no other party I am prepared to join.
Jake Bennett – I do so admire your stoicism – and I hope you are correct and that a resurrection is possible – I am afraid it is absolutely essential that any leader of any Party must have shutzpa, must exude honesty and if all of that is missing sometimes charisma wil see them through………………….but Freddy? realistically?
Mrpaula. Last para. Even if ukip didnt win any seats it hopefully might have catalysed the smashing-up of LibLabCon, starting possibly with the Tories (the most do-able). Only when this has happened can new parties really get off the ground?
Mary – with respect………the smashing up of LibLabCon can and will only come about when the VOTERS choose for it to happen. No amount of wishful thinking will break the stranglehold of that triumvirate- in the event that their stranglehold could be broken they will join together, as a totally committed, vicious task force, to prevent any credible opposition.
Nigel found that out to his dismay……..and he is not one for dismay…….but the facts are what he invariably works with. He is a realist.
As a Nation we are totally lost……..a mish-mash of mongrels who live for the moment…..look at what is happening in Brixton, and many other places…..self gratification is the order of the day……..self-respect, self-control, the family unit……….all are fast disappearing in the ‘multicultural quagmire and detritus which coagulates in our major towns and cities’ which has been visited upon us by successive professional, elite, self- grandiosing, two-bit, self seeking curds……..of ALL political persuasions.
Then we get someone who recognises the filthy state of our politica, Farage, and he is vilified for wanting change, for wanting freedom for our inhabitants……and what did he get? Frustration and then rejection………four million votes, and not one seat.
We are reaping the sowing of alien seeding which began in earnest in the late forties.
NOW? We are reaping the wild-wind…………..
Our Laws and social security were installed for a very different age, for a very different breed of people.
Now they are being used and abused at every turn.
Farage recognised that and was courageous enough to fight, tooth and nail, to do something about it.
Sorry if this appears to be a lecture…………but without men of the vision and stature of Farage, Batten, Iaian Duncan Smith, David Davis, John Redwood and a handful,of other TRUE BRITS – we will flounder because we are a weakened oak……..due to the disease of rampant and virtually uncontrolled immigration and a Social Security bill which we simply cannot afford.
“Cap’n can thou hear me down below……….?”
Ahh …. Colin. I wondered what had happened to him. Isn’t he very strong on the network of local branches that was after all one of the strengths of Ukip in it’s best days.
Second Wave: One might think that “health leaders ” in their overpaid, work or play positions would consider the well-being of those not so fortunate and the future of our country.
Clearly they inhabit a different world; a root to branch reform is warranted once the “crisis” is over.
They don’t give up do they Jack. Presumably they WANT our economy to crumble and our liberties to be lost for ever. Yashmacks for all and track and trace. Whose paying them? Muslim fundamentalists or the CCP?
Tories War Memorial Bill. Laws are already in place to deal with criminal damage if they had the guts to use them. Just another populist initiative to keep the useful idiot Tory supporters/ members on side.
True Jake but a timely reminder is needed by certain powers that be like police commissioners and mayors.
Yes, Pauline it would help. But they have lost their cojonnes too I am afraid. They are all peeing in the same pot.
‘I’d like to take this time to apologise… to absolutely f***ing nobody!’
And absolutely right too. Well said, Jake Hepple.
Jake Hepple and his partner have apparently both been sacked from their jobs despite the Police stating that no offence has been committed.
Contrast this with the lenient way BLM rioters have been treated. Maybe any of these identified should also be sacked (unlikely they’ll have job though).
When double standards and hypocrisy like this prevail there’s no hope for this country,
That really is bad news, another indicator of how low this country has sunk into totalitarianism and the suppression of free speech. However the stalwarts of Hearts of Oak and others will no doubt take keen interest in this affair. I look forward to the name of their
recent employer being made readily available so that we can bombard them/him with complaints and see in what way we can boycott whatever they do. A few quid to Jake and partner from me if it comes to an unfair dismissal action. If Burnley fans keep trotting to watch then to hell with them and their club.We have to fight back.
Ken, should we not think that an unfair dismissal tribunal should be pursued and then, anmoney awarded could be used to sue Burnley FC and their directors?
Poetic justice, don’t you think?
Sorry, I meant ‘any money’.
Bill and Jim. Totally agree. If they get away with this, free speech is dead and anyone’s job can be forfeit to the MSM
witch hunt and mob hysteria. Campaign needed to push this forward.
Spot on mike. Its a power struggle.

Nice 🙂
I’m looking forward to seeing just how much of this stuff rubs off on Christopher Steel and British intelligence, MI6.

Crooked Hilary or Black Lives Obarmessiah – your choice President Trump,
Blow one away and all the others will bottle it. But, there must be one.

The banner stunt controversy brilliantly exposes just what a sham ‘anti-racism’ is. It’s to advantage some people versus others not equality. In
effect a campaign for supremacy.
Wish I could fly with a White Lives Matter banner.
Presumably the football clubs are just jumping the way they think makes money.
Pauline You are correct – always follow the money trail. Corporate TV and sponsorship is what keeps the football clubs going. Clubs are petrified of corporations pulling the plug on them if they don’t toe the politically correct line.
