Have a workable proposal. The other thing is the attitude of the prime minister, so we learned in briefings at number ten today that, well, this woman called theresa may is returning to downing street on thursday, older viewers may well remember the name she used to run the government, apparently. A little bit of sarcasm, but she has been away. Holiday. Three and a half weeks. You have been counting it brexit policy behind her back, as though they locked her up in a swiss chalet, took away her passport and said, we are getting on with it in your absence, never before has a pmb so irrelevant to what is happening. Meanwhile, across the atlantic, donald trump broke off his holiday, after a lot of pressure on him, to condemn as evil racism what happened in charlottesville. Pm. First he manages to make his way to the us presidency, now, fry 5 membership of the too little too late club, international club, somebody has been slaughtered in the street by a car driven at them, he realises that nazis are evil, i am sure that we can also, great, well done, will come to the party . Enormous shame that in the 48 hours before that he has said almost nothing or has said, everyone has terrible, full seven is. 61, half a dozen of the other. terrible, full seven is. 61, half a dozen of the other. two sides to every story. He doesnt seem to realise the difference between nazis and people fighting against nazis, there was a crucial distinction during a whole world war that we have. Six of one and half a dozen of the other. He has the disposition of the other. He has the Disposition Ofa of the other. He has the disposition of a particularly obdurate toddler, so as of a particularly obdurate toddler, so as faras of a particularly obdurate toddler, so as far as anyone of a particularly obdurate toddler, so as far as anyone with that disposition can be treasured. Encouraging aspect is that it appears to be that the president can be forced to do something, almost against his will. Including maybe his own daughter . Conversations with the attorney general, the new fbi director, perhaps they have been important, the surprise is not that he has taken so long to condemn neo nazis but that he has done it at all because he is the man who displays clear fascist tendencies, openly racist. He was delighted to get the support of the ku klux klan la st get the support of the ku klux klan last year they see him as one of their own, he has an unhealthy accession with going to war, possibly nuclear war around himself with the far right, not a surprise that he failed to condemn neo nazis, the surprise is perhaps that now, there is something positive, it is that he can be talked around, and im thinking about north korea, obviously, Hopefully Saner Heads can clear him steer him away. Interesting story about this. Facing collapse, learn direct. After they got a blasting from ofsted for their training reform. Learn direct.

We can all agree, the most important evil in any Educational E5tabli5hment , a5 well as loading with £90 million of debt, and extracting £20 million of dividends. Could they have a reason for this . That would be a £500,000 they decided to spend on a racing car for formula 1. How is that going .

The project died a few months ago when the mayor of london said there would be no more funding, the reason we have a picture of the proposed bridge is because. The trust that was set up to push for the project has finally thrown in the towel. Would it not have been a beautiful addition to the capital city . No, it would have been a plaything for rich people and companies who would have paid huge money to prods about on it in the evening, when it would be close to the public, no public use whatsoever, and in the meantime, pulling the plug on these test really needed transport projects around the country, i dread to think what people in the north of england, you cannot have decent trains and electrification project.

But obviously, this is a national disgrace. They are saying that during the blitz, it was not silenced. A5 though people were not up silenced. A5 though people were not up the tower during the blitz. Health and safety has succeeded where the luftwaffe has failed. Ridiculous. Nazi bombs could not silence the famous symbol, im the worst person to talk about this, i work at westminster, i have done for many years. I thought you were going to say that you work in big ben |j never to say that you work in big ben never hear it.

Finally, good news in the daily stress, wine is the key to a longer life and yet here we are, stone cold sober, its like you secretly hate me and wish for me to die young, i dont understand it, thought we were friends. You can have a glass of wine and it will slash your risk. Not slashing your risk of early death, but it may, it may, may is the crucial word there, it may have protective health effects, and illustrated with a picture of the perpetually young len goodman.
