    Radovan Karadzic: Ex-Bosnian Serb leader to be sent to UK prison
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57090123

    "Karadzic, 75, was also found guilty at his 2016 criminal tribunal of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

    A 40-year prison sentence was later increased to life."

    That will stop him roaming around free when he's 110!

    Since last Thursday, Dame Kelly Stormer has gone from talking to the Metropolitan Elite to being dictated to by the hard Left of the Labour Party.

    The Friday rumours that he had sacked Corbynista Angela Rayner turned out to nothing more than hot air as by Saturday evening she had picked up a whole host of titles. As Boris gleefully pointed out during the Queen’s Speech debate, she is now “Deputy Leader of the Opposition, Shadow First Secretary of State, Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, and Shadow Secretary of State for the Future of Work.”

    By Sunday night, the reshuffle of the Shadow Cabinet had become anything but with virtually no-one expunged.

    The Hartlepool 40 foot inflatable BoJo will be moving on to Batley now that the former Coronation Street actress MP of that manor has been elected West Yorkshire Mayor.

    Why did the people of Hartlepool round on the Labour leader when he was so busy on Twitter condemning their neighbours in Israel, just as the former leader Jeremy Corbyn would have done on behalf of his “friends in Hamas”? The Labour obsession with the Jewish state only ever finds fault with them, not the Palestinians firing rockets from the safety of civilian neighbourhoods. The BBC should get Stormer on as guest host of Have I Got Jews For You.

    Is calling him 'Dame Kelly Stormer' meant to be funny?

    Clearly there is no problem with electoral fraud, or the Electoral Commission would not have requested this study “Understanding electoral fraud vulnerability in Pakistani and Bangladeshi origin communities in England.” in 2015 just before the Mayor of Tower Hamlets was kicked out for vote rigging.

    One of the proposed solutions given was “Introducing some form of identification to cast a vote.” Of course that does not really help with postal vote rigging, where kinship networks exploit their subservient members; however, the report does mention “Political parties should take a greater responsibility for not accepting the bloc vote delivered or promised by community leaders.” It is notable that where allegations of vote fraud are made, it is often Muslim women’s votes that have been vote harvested.

    Between 2000 and 2015 there had been 68 convictions for electoral offences but half of them were reported in just 7 English local authorities. It did not state how many actual cases had been brought but an average of just over 4 convictions a year implies this is not a widespread issue and no particular political party dominated. There is a perception that it is always Labour because the most highly publicised cases involve them.

    Hamas makes loads of rockets but they have nowhere to store them but under children’s beds, so the quickest way to get them out of the house is fire them over to the neighbouring Jews.

    Their ploy is incredibly unsuccessful because the Israeli/US anti-rocket defence system is much better than the crude Qassam rockets home-made by Hamas.

    The rockets used by the Israeli army are more of a precision weapon, hitting their targets in a less indiscriminatory fashion. And when they are going to flatten some tower block, they give civilians notice to leave the area first.

    It's interesting that Labour, who tend to be 'more' government, are the ones objecting the most strongly to this. I know 'not that' is their default position on most issues, but it does seem to be a reaction as if they feel their vote is the one liable to be affected for some reason.

    BBC makes grovelling apology to Sir James Dyson for saying he was a 'prominent Conservative supporter' when they revealed his tax texts to Boris Johnson
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...-saying-prominent-Conservative-supporter.html

    "The BBC has today made a grovelling apology to Sir James Dyson for incorrectly labelling him a 'prominent Conservative supporter'.

    The broadcaster made the erroneous claim within its report of tax texts sent between the billionaire British investor and Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

    It attempted to support the claim that Sir James was a Tory-backer by saying the entrepreneur had made a £11,000 donation to the Conservative party.

    But it was later revealed that the donation, from the James Dyson Foundation, was actually to the Wiltshire Engineering Festival - an event for school children.

    Now the broadcaster has apologised after accepting that, while the event was organised by a Tory MP, it is not affiliated to the Conservative party.

    In an apology, posted on the BBC's website, it said: 'We accept that Sir James Dyson is not a prominent Conservative supporter as was stated in some of our coverage of his text messages with the Prime Minister."

    Part of the problem for Labour is that recent allegations of vote rigging in places like Peterborough have always seemed to feature the same couple of ethnically Asian Muslim gentlemen, who have a habit of getting photographed out ‘canvassing’ carrying Labour literature, forcing the Party to then deny that they are officially working for Labour.

    The report that I linked to details interviews with some people who claim that it was quite commonplace for women in these communities to be told which box to cross on their postal ballots. The culture these women belong to means that many of them cannot even speak English, so going to a polling booth and making their own choice is not a realistic option since they are politically ignorant.

    There is no smoke without fire...
