Good Lord, those Sandwell Councillors with distinctly Muslim sounding names, make our lot, of either creed, sound positively honest!
Which is quite the damming statment.

Me and the Mrs have had ‘dealings’ with Sandwell a few years ago.

We enrolled on the adoption process.

We thought that my past drug addiction issues and previous spells in prison may disqualify us from being accepted but they didn’t bat an eyelid.
The problem came when we ‘confessed’ to being Christian. They told us that this was concerning to them and may prevent us getting accepted into the process.

Welcome to Sandwell.

Don't forget the TB and the Leprosy. Fox had to backtrack on this narrative pretty quickly. Why? Because it was a lie.

Much like the man they work for (Trump),  Fox News has a very hard time with the truth.

According to the news there are going to be hundreds more Police on the streets of London to try and deal with the ever increasing knife crime. Now, "we've" been cutting the number of police officers by the thousands, so where are all these extra coppers coming from, are they being drafted in from others forces, or will it be London coppers being paid overtime to work when they should be off duty, or have "we" just magicked hundreds of coppers from fresh air?
