I am sorry to be watching this ' unravelling' news report .

I hope she will be OK. Her poor family.

It is being reported that 2 people have been shot and 2 stabbings but no police confirmation as yet. The area is on lock down at the moment and there is a Primary School in the vicinity .

I hope the gunman is caught soon.

Whitewave, the money in brown envelopes and Fayed

whitewave Sat 18-Jun-16 15:03:53

Oh yes that's it. What a sleazy pair they are. What happened to their house? It was reported that they were absolutely potless and Yonkers behind with their mortgage.

Anniebach Sat 18-Jun-16 15:08:54

They found jobs in Panto whitewave, and Christine went on IACGMOOH , ghastly pair

Somehow, I do not think you will be going to any of his meetings, Annie.

IACGMOOH
confused??
Obviously I didn't watch it

Jalima Sat 18-Jun-16 18:18:45

it's OK, I googled it

hmm if he appears with other people on a panel surely better to go and demolish his arguments than pretend he isn't there?

dramatictessa Sat 18-Jun-16 18:21:17

granjura , that's brilliant!

Elrel Sat 18-Jun-16 18:26:03

I'd forgotten that remark by Nabarro, oh dear.

Anniebach Sat 18-Jun-16 18:39:59

I went to the meeting, I asked a polite question and he didn't know the answer, I also repeated what two hecklers said ,

whitewave Sat 18-Jun-16 19:22:21

Why did HQ zapped that annie ? I saw your post and I cannot understand their reasoning.

Anniebach Sat 18-Jun-16 20:07:50

No idea whitewave, I said he didn't know the answer to my question, and what two hecklers said was not offensive in anyway, one comment has been said on tv many, many times , hey ho, it was wrong but I don't know why, perhaps someone complained it offended them , he was a Tory politician

whitewave Sat 18-Jun-16 20:11:39

Perhaps HQ would care to enlighten us. At the moment it seems a tad heavy handed. Over to you HQ.

Anniebach Sat 18-Jun-16 20:14:57

If I knew what I said that was offensive I would apologise, but I honestly don't know , something can be said on HIGNFY many times but cannot be repeated here I suppose , no matter

granjura Sat 18-Jun-16 20:39:27

Annie, this is bizarre. But the Hamiltons are such opportunists and money hungry * so no excuses needed there.

Tegan Sat 18-Jun-16 20:42:57

Maybe it was the mention of brown envelopes confused. If this is removed then I'm right...

Jalima Sat 18-Jun-16 20:46:24

perhaps it wasn't brown

whitewave Sat 18-Jun-16 20:46:51

But that isn't a secret everyone knows about the backhanders they received.

Jalima Sat 18-Jun-16 20:48:00

I know, just saying

Lazigirl Sat 18-Jun-16 20:50:51

I have just watched Jo's sister give a very brave speech in Birstall, with her parents supporting her. It made me cry. They are obviously devastated, she was just thanking everyone and basically saying that they would uphold her legacy and her positive belief in "love not hate". However much we disagree with one another it is sad that political debate has become so hateful and toxic in this country. I have been very disillusioned with the Labour Party in recent years, but I will be joining next week, a small gesture I suppose, but I applaud what she believed in and think she has been inspirational and an example of a conscientious and caring MP.

I think hanging would be the only thing to punish this person. I dont care if he is mad or not there are two kids without a mother and that is unforgivable.
