How Cambridgeshire police told Anne Feast to remove knitted gorilla from window of Ely home - because it caused offence

“They told me that they needed to speak to me about the ‘black body’ hanging in my window.

“I said: “Pardon? Do you mean the baby gorilla?”, to which they replied “Ah that’s what it is, is it?”

Cambridgeshire Constabulary said it had no record of the officers’ visit.

Yeah, 'cos we really need more piss-taking of our young people, what with their new-fangled *air quotes* safe spaces & selfie-sticks, dagnabbit. :rolleyes:

I bloody hate how the young (and other seemingly expendable people) are considered & treated in this country - it's the shame of our nation.

We've got a glorified debating society as our Government, chief.

Or whole political system, judging by the rabble in the EU debate on ITV last night.

There is a danger of adults losing a sense of proportion. When I was five, we played a game where we girls wore our cardigans as capes and ran away squealing from the boys chasing us with frogs from the local pond. No doubt today that would be dubbed a sinister sex game, and the boys certainly wouldn’t be allowed near the pond.

Daily Mail overlooks Orlando massacre in favour of 'pearl earrings'

National newspaper fails to cover the murder of 50 people on its front page, preferring to lead with a routine anti-EU story and a readers’ offer

Finding solace through volunteer work as a gardener, he was regarded as a quiet but friendly loner by neighbours on the estate on a hill above the murder scene where he had lived since childhood.

Best-known for cutting his elderly residents’ lawns, there was shock at his arrest yesterday among relatives and neighbours of the ‘timid’ 52-year-old they called Tommy or Tom.

Mair also regularly helped his mother Mary, 69, who last night told friends she feels responsible for what he is alleged to have done. ‘She’s blaming herself,’ one said. ‘I told her she can’t blame herself, she can’t be responsible for other people’s actions, but she is. She’s devastated.’ At home last night, Mrs Mair said: ‘I don’t understand it, I just don’t understand.’

Daily Mail judging the character of Jo Cox's attacker. I'm actually speechless.
 
Bit mean of them to list my nan's house.

Prots v Catholics in religious bookshop showdown

"I have come up against discrimination before but all the time I have lived in England this is the first time anti-Catholism has reared its ugly head.

"We are Protestant – not Catholic.The bottom line is that if you want Catholic things go to a Catholic shop."

Christian bookshops sell nothing specifically for Catholics, in my experience. We buy online, on the whole, there's loads of Catholic shops selling absolutely everything to do with our faith.

I'm not sure what this woman expected - Henry VIII saw us off as far as bookshops go. :D

Why wouldn't you tell her? What if she has dementia or something she might actually need some help getting home safely or something.

Exactly. Selfish arse who's more concerned about putting this on social media and selling it to the papers so he can get his 15 minutes of fame, than making sure a potentially vulnerable person is okay.
 
We've only got his word that she was asking about bus times. Plus, the place in which she's standing is near where taxis congregate, be it outside Tesco, Asda etc etc.
 
SamCam cheers Brits up on Doomsday 2016

Her husband may be on benefits and our country flushed down the bog but stylish Samantha Cameron made us forget all our troubles by rocking a Gino Plasty designer dress outside a sunny Number Ten. the 46-year-old babe flaunted her perfect pins and enviable buttocks as her multi-coloured dress - which cost more than the deficit - lifted the gloom over her husband's resignation speech, and marked her out for a dazzling career in fashion once she dumps the stupid twat who somehow managed to reverse decades of progress. The fact that she looked like a Christmas cracker from Aldi won't hold her back - there's no stopping SamCam!

Littlejohn in the Mail:

Self-styled sophisticates may sneer at Nigel Farage, but in another lifetime he’d have been a Spitfire pilot fighting the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain. Most of his critics would have been desk-jockeys in Whitehall or conscientious objectors, if not outright collaborators.

You do have to wonder about people who'd wait for a bus at the trolley bay, really.

Except at one which I might have been to in Sussex, which has a particularly difficult & confusing layout, it has to be said, :(.
