Just remembering all those piles of shoes, gold fillings and jewellery
The Sun has been told Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will on Monday propose confiscating jewellery, watches, necklaces from asylum seekers to meet asylum costs
This reflects the most controversial aspect of the Danish scheme - the Jewellery Law. The toughest Labour MPs thought this was OTT

Morning,
A request for help:
I recently moved up north (near Bolton) and I’ve been on supply ever since.
I need a permanent job. Science teacher. 20yrs exp.
Schools don’t always advertise on the TES so if anyone knows anyone, please pass this on?
I’d really appreciate it!

BBC has a case against Trump. WhiteHouse Chief Press Officer called the BBC ‘100% fake news.’ Which is defamatory and untrue.
Trump says he will sue BBC for between $1 billion and $5 billion despite apology www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Trump says he will sue BBC for at least $1bn over Panorama edit
The US president told reporters on Air Force One that he will take legal action against the broadcaster and will call Sir Keir Starmer over the weekend.

Megyn Kelly said she thinks “there’s a difference between a 5 year old and a 15 year old” when it comes to sexual abuse. Megyn Kelly has a 14 year old daughter. Megyn Kelly is going to Hell.

Remember the Gisele Pelicot trial? There was one man who wouldn’t accept being found guilty of rape.
He insisted the label was too much of a burden to bear. He raped an unconscious woman, multiple times, on video.
He appealed, and the court extended his sentence.
Trump reminds me of that guy.

Almost 20% of French men of military age died in WW 1.

President Trump criticises France and others for celebrating remembrance day, saying, "We're the one that won the wars"
Surreal, and so very disrespectful to every person who fought in the wars for the freedoms we all enjoy today

Incredible that Trump instigated an attempted coup and, not only escapes punishment, but becomes president again (and pardons ppl convicted and merely accused) and yet people lose their jobs for reporting the facts slightly out of order.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

We need, do we not, to make a clear distinction between (a) BBC News and Current Affairs; and (b) other BBC output? And not damage the latter because of the former?
I agree with the author, the BBC is not perfect but it’s far better than having no broad based public service broadcaster. To educate & entertain and give a general view of the world. The recent Right Wing bias is no reason to destroy the whole incredible organisation. Cherish it & criticise it.
