Re: BBC official PR for stop diesel project

I'm disgusted. This action is blatant Political Campaigning with zero attempt to be impartial.

BBC needs to be scaled back to news only with no opinion.

Question Time audience member on EU nationals: ‘Who would be serving our coffee in Pret?’

Oh dear. After the Lords rebellion this week on the status of EU nationals in the UK post Brexit, the issue looks set to continue to be a thorn in the government’s side. As Theresa May attempts to hold firm that it is a matter for the negotiations, one Question Time audience member from Bedford attempted to express her concerns over a Britain without EU nationals.

Alas, her comments soon hit a bum note when she appeared to imply that the reason EU nationals should be allowed to work in the UK is so that British people get their coffee on time:

Remoaner woman: ‘For anyone who works in London: who would be serving our coffee in Pret? Who would be selling our sandwiches in Pret? You’re not going to get English people to take those jobs!’

Hmm, EU immigrants/foreigners are in UK to serve coffee & sandwiches to UK citizens. Mind boggling insight of Remoaners thinking.

How should this "speech" be classified? Condescending, racist, demeaning...?

Pcar hopes the matter is resolved for the concerned lady…

Campaign in Copeland? I get car sick, says Labour MP

So far, Labour’s by-election defeat in Copeland has been blamed on everything from Tony Blair to climate change, rain & a lack of Labour voters owning cars. However, on last night’s Question Time, Dawn Butler came up with an excuse not heard before.

Discussing the by-election which saw Labour lose the one-time safe seat to the Tories, the MP for Brent Central explained to David Dimbleby that she hadn’t actually been able to go up to campaign as she… gets car sick:

DB: I didn’t go to Copeland as I suffer from car sickness and I heard the roads are really bad. But I did a lot of phone…

DD: That doesn’t sound like a warrior…

DB: I didn’t think I’d be much good to them getting there all green and sick.

DD: Don’t you ever go by car any distance?

Happily, Liz Truss was also on the panel. The Justice Secretary chipped in that when she had gone up to campaign in Copeland she had travelled by train:

LT: Or train?

DB: Well, you need to fix the train system in Copeland, that’s another thing…

LT: I got the train to Copeland

Although Dimbleby described Butler’s excuse as the ‘most ingenuous explanation’, it’s further evidence that Corbyn’s Labour has become a London-centric party — isolated from its one-time heartlands.

Rather brutal, but:

Those who die from NOx etc are the old, weak-health and poor genes that cannot adapt to environment they live in.

It's Darwinian evolution which our H&S obsessed Gov'ts have all but eliminated by allowing the "stupid" and weak-health to survive and breed.

Seems like a good move
