@SkyNews ..
A complaint !
@adamboultonTABB ‘s report on the death of Ann Widdicombe today ..
has to be one of the most crass, disrespectful reports I’ve heard on anyone in politics ..
The fact this is also a Police investigation makes it even worse.
To repeat personal stories about her; and using phraseology such as an ‘ old maid’
and more ..
She was a very clever, intellectual, conviction politician who had more decency in her than most people I’ve ever met.
She was kind and thoughtful and would never hold a grudge with anyone when differing views were held ..
This is an outrageous slur on her character and reputation..
and I hope you’re damn well sacked !!
Every time I watch @BBCNews when they cover an envying the US they have a different US correspondent fronting their news item.
Just how many US correspondent’s are licence fee payers funding?
North Sea locked.
Energy bills soaring.
Imports rising.
This isn’t strategy — it’s self-sabotage.
Labour need to sack that Lunatic Ed Miliband before it's too late.
Keir needs to put Ed Miliband back in his box.
We should back British industry over dirtier imports.
Use the North Sea rather than higher emission foreign gas.
And make electricity cheap.
Common sense over ideology.
Ed is doing the opposite.
Now chancellor @RachelReevesMP agrees drilling in North Sea would generate tax revenue. So sack @Ed_Miliband the Cabinet eco fanatic & get on with it
Week after week the @10DowningStreet PM deflects questions, does not answer a single question, instead he refers to his pre-prepared crib sheet. Mr @CommonsSpeaker when are you actually going to demand that he answers the questions posed at PMQ’s.
It’s a total farce !
@sharrond62@BradyTony@CommonsSpeaker Care to provide a response?
PMQ’s have become an absolute farce with our so called PM ducking, diving and swerving every week. Parliament has slipped to an all time low and YOU should be holding him to account otherwise, what are folk to think?
@goodfoodgal@TYYhacha I guess he skipped the Ted Talk on optics and public perception.
I flatly refuse to swear on this platform but he and his cronies are a national disgrace.
"It's not the police who need to be retrained, it's the public. We have grown into a mouthy, mobile phone wielding, vulgar, uncivil society with no personal responsibility and the attitude of 'it's the other person's fault, you owe me'. A society where children grow up with no boundaries or knowledge or concern for civil society and personal responsibility.
When an officer says "Put your hands up," then put your hands up! Don't reach for something in your pocket, your lap, your seat. There's plenty of reason for a police officer to feel threatened, there have been multiple assaults and ambushes on police officers lately. Comply with requests from the officer, have your day in court. Don't mouth off, or fight, or refuse to comply... that escalates the situation.
Police officers are our sons and daughters, fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters. They're black, white, brown, all colors, all ethnicities, all faiths, male and female, they are us. They see the worst side of humanity... the raped children, the bloody mangled bodies of traffic victims, the bruised and battered victims of domestic violence, homicide victims, body parts... day after day.
They work holidays while we have festive meals with our families. They miss school events with their kids, birthdays, anniversaries, all those special occasions that we take for granted. They work in all types of weather, under dangerous conditions, for relatively low pay.
They have extensive training, but they are human. When there are numerous attacks on them, they become hyper vigilant for a reason, they have become targets. When a police officer encounters any person... any person, whether at a traffic stop, a street confrontation, an arrest, whatever... that situation has the potential to become life threatening. You, Mr & Mrs/Miss Civilian, also have the responsibility of keeping the situation from getting out of control.
Many law enforcement officers are Veterans. They've been in service to this nation most of their lives, whether on the battlefield or protecting us here at home. They are the only thing that stands between us and anarchy in the streets.
If you want to protect your child, teach them respect."

I marvel at the bravery of the half pipe skiers but I haven’t got a clue what the 2 commentators are screaming about. They sound like a Bill & Ted’s excellent adventure soundtrack.
Could you, in 4 years time do a ski half pipe for dummies
