Making the news today....

McDonnel’s mentalist Marxism, Momentum in full control, Corbyn blissfully bumbling towards a Venezuelan economy, all topped off with idealist ‘students’ that are so thick as to not realise they’ll be the ones paying for all the empty promises and an XL side order of racist anti-semetism. 

 

Its beyond comedy! 

 

“Planning for the economy to crash” What a billboard campaign add that’ll make....

 

with a big gooning, baboon like “Abbot’s head” for visual overload 

OK, I’ll admit it, no shame in recognising when you’re wrong!

 

Listening to the Comrade Leader’s closing speech, I now recognise that I too have something to gain (so long as I’m willing to join the massed ranks of those that demand something “out” regardless that they put little or nothing “in.”)

 

Since there’ll be (free) life-long education and vocational training for all, I’d just as well go blow the training budget on yoghurt and hemp weaved flip-flops!  

 

Bonus!

UKIP's new leader looks like a good pick. Good experience and politically even-handed by the looks of it. Could be worth a punt in the future

1.7k UK road fatalities as at 2013

 

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/359012/indicator-table.xls

 

54 people died on Devon and Cornwall's roads in the 12 months up to June 2017. The figure was 44 the year before.

 

(BBC Radio Cornwall)

 

Excess winter mortality in England and Wales was back in line with average trends in 2015/16. There were an estimated 24,300 excess winter deaths where 15% more deaths occurred in winter months than non-winter months.

It’s not “making the news today” but I have to wonder why.....

 

60 odd die in dreadful circumstances (is there a “good” way to die?) (on a side note, what’s the opposite of a rhetorical question?) in a tower block....

 

A slack handful (of ex-pats) get their yachts wrecked in their tax haven (and some locals die.....)

 

That makes the news....  What’s that all about??

I've been deleting my "mainstream" news apps one by one and looking more at "off the beaten track" ones for the real news.
Here's a couple.

Maybe not everyone's cup of tea but the narratives served up by the BBC, The Mail and CNN were beginning to grate a bit...

You're just getting the news/interpretation you want.

What I don't want is slanted news, like on these sites you linked to.. better to sub to a few news commentators on Utube, some from the left some from the right..

 

For instance, I'm as happy to watch secular talk as I am Ben Shapiro..  

 

Question, why the interest in Israeli politics?....

That’s right. I get to choose. Thankfully I’m not subjected to what the kardashians are doing either.

I’m Jewush and take an interest in what is happening in the Middle East.
