Why no mention of David Cameron's father and senior Tory figures named in 'Panama Papers' leak?

A network of secret offshore deals and vast loans worth $2bn has laid a trail to Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin.

Sky New, BBC news and the rest of the British media have been running this story since last night. All share the same slant in that they all repeatedly stress the connection of Vladimir Putin with Mossack Fonseca and the sleasy dealing in offshore bank accounts and money laundering What they also share, is a complete disregard of the names or suggestions of the identities of the British politicians and their connections with money laundering and other distasteful financial activities referred to in the millions of files leaked.

Former Tory MPs, donors and David Cameron's father among those named

If the media must respond to government "guidelines" to ramp up the anti Russian/anti Putin propaganda and play down any suggestion of sleaze at Westminster and to be biased and partisan in their reporting they could at least try to be a little more subtle,

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities?

Leave the clocks alone!

https://www.kentonline.co.uk/kent/news/did-you-remember-to-put-clocks-forward-224737/ Sanity returns!!! The clocks have gone forward by one hour and perhaps now I can get some proper sleep, and return to normal in numerous other areas which have been disrupted since 25th October 2020. That pesky little person who steals an hour from my sleep and disrupts my time/body clock for the next 6 months, should be confined to a secure location for ever. Never again should I and thousands like me be disrupted every year and for no apparent reason by an outdated and tenuous notion of "daylight saving". In fact we should probably put another hour at the start of the Summer and then stay on Double British Summer Time (DBST). for the duration. Message for pesky little person "LEAVE THE BLOODY CLOCKS ALONE!"
