"I thought I briefly saw a ghost" said the investigator "but it turned out just to be a white fiver that had fallen from a local's wallet. It didn't have time to touch the ground..." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate there probably is a difference, in that the Israelis probably have better rockets that allow them to target children lore accurately. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dara O'Briain offered his services in this regard years ago - just have him sitting in the corner reading the paper during the horoscopes, after which he gets to say, "everything he just said was a load of shite". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leith Green Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Andrew Kerr on R4 just now, it was basically a unionist rant about how shockingly bad the SNP were and that everything to do with the impending cuts was entirely their fault. The BBC is just a tool of the Westminster govt, whichever colour they may be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Rubble Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 (edited) Andrew Kerr singing the same old song (his words) on the Nine right now. Unlikely he cleared the abuse of that reference with Howie Casey of KC and the Sunshine Band though.

Freedom Farter Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 (edited) BBC published a couple of articles today marking the death of Alberto Fujimori, former president of Peru. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy0r0rgrewlo and https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0jjn77z2xyo They tell us Fujimori's supporters credit him with ending an insurgency movement. Well Donald Trump's supporters credit him with rescuing cats and dogs from immigrants. What matters is what actually happened not what Fujimori's supporters claim happened. The insurgency movement was thwarted by the Peruvian police when their own independent efforts (which began prior to Fujimori taking office) saw them capture the movement's leader. The stuff Fujimori directed his personal death squad to do was unrelated and was aimed at the civilian population and his political opponents. Neither of those articles even mention that Fujimori forcibly sterilised over 300 000 indigenous Peruvian women due to simple eugenicist racism. I find it hard to believe that whoever BBC commissioned to write those articles was not aware of this. So why leave it out? Because USA supported and funded the forced sterilisation? I don't know. The operation Fujimori headed can be read about here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_Verde The forced sterilisation specifically: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_sterilization_in_Peru Edited September 12 by Freedom Farter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
