@ST 9:30am LBC Nick Ferrari
"TH council had 2 options : Do something to fix the child's situation or run to the court claiming breach of privacy, they chose the latter.. Result's in n the judge finding against then and ordering that the child be placed withe grandmother... TH still tried to exclude the Times from court and again the judge ruled against him."
The Muslim rent-a-gob that the BBC used was also on LBC and Ferrari basically called her a nutter.
Around 9:45am a Prof Groen? from ULU was in claiming Harvey was due to extra moisture
. actually he didn't seem to know what he ESS talking about.

mikeh. I heard the bear story some days ago. Then it was that during years favourable for berries, bears fish for salmon to a lesser effect. Unsure if this can be related to climate change - what influences growth of berries? [This year appears to be a bumper blackberry year in Norfolk with many of the different species producing larger than usual crops].

Channel 4 is just as bad for fact-free alarmist reporting and bias.
I happened to catch the start of their 7pm news which opened with comments linking Harvey and recent floods in Asia to climate change and then posed the question of whether Trump's withdrawal from Paris would make such things worse in future.
Someone on their editorial team must have had a lottery day, pushing climate change, taking a swipe at Trump and raising fears for the future.
I didn't watch any more, surprisingly....
According to the frontpage of today's "i", climate change is making bears vegetarian.
Clearly we have yet to reach peak stupid!

re: BBC and fostering
It's not that long ago we were regaled by the BBC about Joyce Thacker's attempts to remove children from an evil racist "UKIP foster family" in Rochdale.
S'funny .... the lady seems to be MIA.... no doubt clutching a fat payment - the relish with which the BBC pitched into that matter should inform as to their predisposition to play PC politics with anything that takes their fancy...
As for Fox TV disappearing .... we were told (3 years ago?) that the pisspoor BBC Three was being euthanised d/t lack of audience - yet the production of poisonous drivel under that banner continues apace ... with little sign of abating.

I half listened to a discussion on BBC 4 discussing merits of fostering locally or by ethnicity. Reference was made to the Tower Hamlets case to explain why topic was being discussed. Specific cases involving children and still under court jurisdiction would never be discussed. Would have paid more attention if I had known the case was to constitute further BBC bashing. I suspect that if the BBC had broken what it considered a moral or legal law and discussed the specific case, it would now be undergoing stick here for that ("shameful BBC").

Midnight news BBC said the Muslim cost case was subject to court reporting restrictions and implied the newspapers had broken them.
Thanks.
Good brave work by The Times, DM et al. Shameful BBC.
Court has decided child should now stay with relatives.
Good news, without The Times, DM et al exposure - excluding BBC - probably would not have happened.
I hope the young girl does not suffer any long term damage from the dystopian child abuse Labour's Tower Hamlets Council inflicted on her.

Fox News "controversial channel" - here we go again; Left/BBC/Green prefixes anything they dislike as "controversial" even if majority approve or have no opinion.
The bias and lack of News increases every day - C4 is equally bad. Both News are not News, they are "victim" whine documentaries.
.
I want the News, not the personal experiences - which are never about eg "CapFX insolvent - 500 FX Traders lose jobs" former Billingsgate Market fish monger Wayne tells us how his family of six will lose their home.
.
Have BBC classed Brexit as "controversial"?
Have BBC ever pushed Gov't expenditure is too high, taxes are too high. When are you, minister, going to reduce and allow all taxpayers to keep more of what they earn?

BTW we have seen time and time again
that given ample warning of heavy rain, authorities have failed to lower dam and waterway levels to prepare, and then have got caught out by water coming over the top.
