In London, private car ownership is no longer the joy it once was.

The Guardian holds out a begging-bowl; but have you seen what its financial
structure is?

And this gammon as well - selling Dutch liquor, despite supposedly being a "prahd" Little Englander.

£40 a pop.

It’s as much Dutch as penicillin made in a foreign pharma factory is
English.

Do you have a point, or is your blind, uncritical support for the EUSSR
showing?

For the racist senile sad bastard in your life:

You can choose a package based on what you are after.

Shout-out: If you want the talent to give you or someone else a shout-out and the video is for personal use (including as a gift for someone) then you should select the ‘shout out’ package.

Performance package: If you want the talent to carry out a performance, for example, to sing a particular song, and it is still for personal use, then please select the ‘performance’ package.

Business shout-out: If you are a business and would like either of the above, for an endorsement or congratulate an employee then select either the ‘business shout out’ or ‘business performance’ package.

Thrillz live: Select this package to meet your favourite celebrity in real life or virtually via Zoom for up to 20 minutes.

If they prefer to be at the "mercy" of muggers and knife-wielding thugs
at bus-stops, Tube stations and on buses and trains, that's their own
business.

From your perspective (and certainly from Khan's), dangerous criminals
intent on stabbing their victims and relieving them of their purses and
wallets have to make a living somehow and are beyond criticism.

QUOTE: GB News’ Nigel Farage has reiterated his call for the UK to free itself of the “baneful” European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).

The Ex-Brexit Party leader spoke in the wake of a new GB News poll finding more people support the idea of leaving the ECHR than remaining in it.

Farage says the ECHR will become a “bigger issue” in British politics.

Speaking on his GB News show, he said: “We’re going to return to this ECHR debate. This is going to become a bigger issue in British politics.

“68 per cent of Conservative voters want to leave the ECHR, there are going to be voices within the Conservative Party making this argument. ENDS

Not going to happen you racist prick.

12700 knife-related incidents a year in London speaks for itself.
