His thoughts are with the victims, their friends and families. As should yours be, Baldrick.

Yep

Another div quoting News-Watch -well its Trident what do you expect. If the emotive, breathless tone wasn't a dead giveaway of the organistion's prejudices, its unsubstantiated claims are. Where, for example, is evidence that the spike in hate crimes had "nothing at all" to do with Brexit but was the result of better self-reporting procedures? Let's see: who to believe -a two man, right-wing media advocacy group or the National Police Chiefs’ lead on hate crime who, speaking in front of the Select Committee, attributed the post-referendum spike to a combination of factors: ""One, increased awareness, two, people reporting stuff that pre-referendum they wouldn't have reported because they weren't aware to do it, or just hadn't got the courage, and thirdly then, the prevalence of increased actual offending". Of course nobody is saying Brexit is singularly responsible –in part because anti-immigrant feeling pre-existed the referendum. Regarding the incident in question, the BBC didn't say the death was racially motivated as a consequence of Brexit. In full, “the fear is that this was a frenzied racist attack triggered by the Brexit referendum. But while detectives aren’t ruling that out, it may be that Akadiusz Jozwik wasn’t targeted because of his race, but simply because he was there when a group of youths was looking for trouble. People in the Stow shopping precinct said that teenagers had been causing havoc here all summer, and not just harassing Polish people. But worrying it could be a hate crime, the local MP made this appeal”. Much ado about nothing, then. Well certainly not in proportion to News-Watch's sweeping allegations. Of course, as the right-wing media at the time also reported the same as the BBC -often in much less qualified, tentative terms, I guess on Trident's addled logic, they’re helmets too. Takes one to know one, I guess

"A desire to spread her assets across a wider portfolio" Some might say she's lost interest and/or has other priorities.

News-watch Les, that veritable, truth-seeking organisation that almost exclusively does consultancy for overtly political, right-wing thinktanks? Really can't you do any better than this? Not chastened by yesterday's car crash on here? On second thoughts, those are silly questions

Is that behind a paywall as well? I thought it was from a blog piece, so publicly accessible? You'll see Ive been cutting and pasting entire FT articles above -probably in violation of copyright, just for you;)

What's this to do with Brexit? By the way you couldn't have picked a worse study to make your irrelevant point, Les. Everyone I know who work in a thinktank has dismissed this analysis, other than using the arbitary right-left labels to take the p i$$ out of each other. Data mining -or cherrypicking Les that falls at the first hurdle of replication- is not good empirical research. Being statistically illterate not to mention clueless how the media works, you're of course none the wiser. https://www.ft.com/content/d3ac9ce7-2339-34a6-83b4-42904287d797 http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/mediapolicyproject/2013/09/02/bias-at-the-bbc-really-replicating-the-cps-analysis-of-bbc-onlines-coverage-of-think-tanks/ecome

Good article by Janan Ganesh in the FT. I bet Les laughs when a bird lands on centre court at Wimbledon. https://www.ft.com/content/35dc3b9a-0d4f-11e7-b030-768954394623

I'll raise him 1000 Tola Rothschilds.

Many on both sides living in lalaland it seems. An overwhelming consensus around what Brexit means? Yet more #pony spouted by the kippers on this thread. https://www.ft.com/content/3086af7e-0e42-11e7-b030-768954394623

What on earth are you talking about, Les? You're all over the place.

Les -more spectacular non-sequiturs. The BBC believes its role is to challenge and hold government to account, as epitomised by the Paxmans of this world and the notion of the Fourth Estate. Now that Brexit is the policy of the day, its being duly scrutinised. The more far-reaching the policy action, the more intense the scrutinty. Haranguing the 'media' for not being 'optimistic' enough is straight out of the authoritarian playbook (of course, we have a docile, privately-owned print press that's all too happy to do the government's bidding). If you think the BBC should keep schtum, I'd suggest democratic accontability is not your cup of tea, little kipper.

Gabbi's chance which led to his injury? Tadic's shot over the bar (ball was clearly in play)?

Depends on what role we envisage for Caceres. If he's only an emergency solution who we intend to move on from during the summer, Stephens should play as many games as possible. The learning benefits outweigh any impact on current results. If we think Caceres can do a job next season, he should get an extended audition.

Graficly - what's that in english pal?

Look at it again.

Wrong. He was definitely onside for the last chance.

Agree with most of this Les.

No free kick for climbing over Long?

Sloppy Davis.

Long onside ffs.

The difference in quality between Long and Manolo is night and day.

Stephens poor there.
