Now all she needs is another trophy boyfriend.

Yes indeed they have many supporters who are anti Israel, Anti Zionist and, in many cases, likely borderline anti-Semitic (or at least mouth lots of anti Jewish tropes).  But the way this is being reported you would think that there are pogroms being launched in the name of Labour across the UK.

Agree folks ion Finance have been given a pass at times, but this article makes it sound like Westpac (and other banks) knowingly helped child exploiters and similar.  Actually what happens is banks make millions of payment a day on behalf o millions of customers and they don't always 100% know what their customers are up to.  so more negligence or slackness or inability to put watertight controls over their business rather than deliberate law breaking.

Will be a hagiography that ignores just how deeply strange he was is my guess.  Hollywood still more focused on making money than recognizing its own deficiencies and the stresses and strains of an image driven celebrity mill.

Voting for the way in which local services are administered is a great day for democracy.

This whole thing is an utter waste of time and distraction.  DT otestifying would be worth a watch though.

No.   But they caould at least support schemes to replant trees in countries that can afford the land.

Indeed.  This type of gun related incident is indeed comparable with smoking banks and public venues' attempts to accommodate all their prospective customers.  agree with Bungle, this at least feels like it might be non-random and related to some gang issue or other beef.

Will have to remove Fukushima from any future surf trips.

suckers bet.

Breaking news.

The current (in my view slightly crazy, but anyway) structure of rail in Britain means that if a private operator thinks they can make money running a service, they should be allowed to have a go.  I guess what is being suggested here is that govt. will have some form of subsidy scheme to make it worth their while.

At least he is consistent.  ly crazy.

Delusional.  US military in SK not very popular (bit like Okinawa) so there will be no political appetite to pay more.  This is one area where I kind of agree with DT - US should just get out of all these anachronistic arrangements.

That will likely make PRC very happy.

It's not unusual.   Rich people's problems.

I would say this is clear evidence of collusion between DT and L'il Kim.  DT using his close friendship with L'il to influence the US erection.  surely some covert comms will come to light proving this. 

Or else Hunter B will land a plum role helping build DPRK's mobile phone network (or something other that he is an acknowledged expert in).

Well she would say that.  As long as she is praying for DT and for America should all work out just fine.

The hype around these award ceremonies is ridiculous.  The Office was funny but after that not much he has done makes me laugh.  and a lot of his tone is pretty patronizing and seneering and relies on pretty dodgy stereotypes (e.g./ Derek, which was pretty dire).

Not sure his point is that an artist's work should be considered separately from their morality.  Rather it is that we should maintain the principle of "innocent until proven guilty".  So many examples (e.g. Operation Yewtree) where the presumption of guilt and excess adverse publicity had a really awful impact on accused peoples' lives.

Hopefully they have the Neil Young classic playing on an endless loop.

Damp squib.

No.  Plenty of other flags are historic symbols of oppression and awful behavior and the like.  Union Jack anyone?

Schit's Creek is my best one.

All these huge blazes around the globe.  Deliberately started?

Fame is a cruel mistress - especially in the modern cyber world.

Everyone going on about paedophiles etc, but isn't 16 above the age of consent in Japan?

also anyone who picks up a magazine with classified ads for deri heru and similar will see they are riddled with schoolgirl or other "young" woman offers.

The issue here is the extortion, not the goods on "offer".

The Kurds' best chance of some degree of autonomy and protection from Turkey lies with Assad.   And he will be happy to give them a degree of autonomy in exchange for their support against his majority Arab and Sunni populace who led the rebellion.

Trump is doing what he said he would.  Likewise in Afghanistan.

Ichi man should do it.
