I saw Harrabin on the other day up on Arctic sea ice talking about the amount of plastic in that ice. Curiously nobody asked what would happen to it in the next couple of years when the Arctic Ocean is ice free in summer. It was the question I wanted answering.

OXFAM
PM May/Gov't & taxpayer extorted money "donated" to Oxfam (UK Gov't provide >45% of their income) reduced/stopped demands?
Until the 0.7% GDP Law is abolished it's irrelevant as it will simply be "donated" to another corrupt self-serving SJW NGO or even less accountable International entity like EU, UN.
.
Charities often behave much worse than profit-making enterprises, because they believe that everything they do is sanctified by being in a noble cause
...the revelations about Oxfam should have come as no surprise. A brave and brilliant Dutch journalist, Linda Polman, gave chapter and verse on the scandalous behaviour in aid charities, including their use of child prostitutes, in her remarkable book, War Games: The Story Of Aid And War In Modern Times, published in 2010
.
The scandal – apart from anything else – sits uncomfortably with the steam of sanctimonious pronouncements emanating from the charity in recent times
...the scandal goes beyond Haiti. Official figures collated by charities show that Oxfam reported 87 incidents of sexual harassment last year. Of those, 53 were referred to the police or other statutory authorities. A total of 20 staff or volunteers were dismissed.
The statistics raise troubling questions about regulation in the beleaguered charity sector already tarnished by allegations of hard-sell tactics

UK's Cultural "Enrichment"
Police Hunt ‘Man of Asian Appearance Who Tried to Rape 10-Year-Old in Broad Daylight’
The suspect approached the girl on Saturday afternoon after she had become separated from her friends, and tried to rape her on “open land” in the city’s Openshaw area, according to Greater Manchester Police (GMP).
The primary school pupil managed to escape and asked a dog walker for help

Ross Lea, Pcar. I wouldn't want to overestimate May's abilities but she has to play the long game when it comes to the negotiations. While it might seem pointless to continue fruitless negotiations with the EU, the Brexit team have to have shown they were prepared to negotiate. We also need every minute of the period to make plans for after Brexit. If May had won a serious majority, or if the rest of Parliament were patriotic enough to support the country it would be different but...
That said, anyone who could come out with that dumb a manifesto, I doubt she has the brains for a long game.

Definitely one to watch, and for her opponents across the political spectrum, both inside and outside Westminster, to be wary of.According to Wikipedia, she [Penny Mordaunt] was named Penelope after the Leander Class Frigate. I believe that under Naval tradition, Penelope should be pronounced to rhyme with Antelope, and vice versa.
Penny is popular over at Arrse, she's said a few more double entendres since the "cock" speech.
