The fact that the 47 year old white man is thick as a brick and can't tell the difference between Islamic Terrorists and Muslims doesn't detract from the fact that he killed people and attempted to create terror within the Muslim community (something which has been reported that he's achieved).
Ergo, it was a terrorist act.

Any idea where it came from? I shall look, yes, but thought you might know the origin of it. Someone (forget who) tweeted that she said it. It's then been repeated ad infinitum. She's always denied saying it.

I'll look it up when I can get on a decent computer in a library. Have made a note to do so, to remind myself. Ensure you look for a quote where she actually said it. There are plenty of quotes of people saying that she said it... just like you did.

I just hope the authorities call it what it is - a terrorist attack - and don't whitewash it with 'he was mentally disturbed'.

As Diane Abbott says, "white people are the problem". Nope, she never said that. Look it up. I can't stand the racist cow but it isn't fair to attribute words that they never said to anyone, whatever colour or political stance they may possess.

Money should play no part in justice. Agreed but my missus had to drop out of a case simply because she couldn't afford to continue.

I assume that is either a fake news or a satire webshite ? Reading it I don't think there's any doubt about that.

Some of you seem to believe May and a couple of advisors wrote the Tory manifesto... One of the TV pundits yesterday (can't recall who) said that when May handed out the manifesto to the cabinet they all looked at each other and said "Were you consulted?" So it would appear that May and a couple of advisors did indeed write the manifesto if he's right.

There was no chance of Corbyn getting in and the Forex traders knew that. They were reacting to the uncertainty of Mrs May's party. Corbyn could well be elected PM in 2017's second General Election. That's an interesting perspective. I've been pondering the issue and have so far settled on bugger all. The result could be identical or it could be a landslide in either direction. Yeah, really decisive huh? I don't think we can get an inkling of how it would play out until the manifestos and campaigning start. You'd think that the Tories couldn't possibly bungle another campaign as badly as they screwed up this one, but...

I don't like paying income tax, but when I decided to withhold my consent it didn't work out in my favour! Dear Mr Kepler, I am writing to you to express our thanks for your more-than-prompt reply to our latest communication, and also to answer some of the points you raise. I will address them, as ever, in order. Firstly, I must take issue with your description of our last as a "begging letter". It might perhaps more properly be referred to as a "tax demand". This is how we, at HMRC, have always, for reasons of accuracy, traditionally referred to such documents. Secondly, your frustration at our adding to the "endless stream of crapulent whining and panhandling vomited daily through the letterbox on to the doormat" has been noted. However, whilst I have naturally not seen the other letters to which you refer, I would cautiously suggest that their being from "pauper councils, Lombardy pirate banking houses and pissant gas-mongerers" might indicate that your decision to "file them next to the toilet in case of emergencies" is at best a little ill-advised. In common with my own organisation, it is unlikely that the senders of these letters do see you as a "lackwit bumpkin" or, come to that, a "sodding charity". More likely they see you as a citizen of Great Britain, with a responsibility to contribute to the upkeep of the nation as a whole. Which brings me to my next point. Whilst there may be some spirit of truth in your assertion that the taxes you pay "go to shore up the canker-blighted, toppling folly that is the Public Services", a moment's rudimentary calculation ought to disabuse you of the notion that the government in any way expects you to "stump up for the whole damned party" yourself. The estimates you provide for the Chancellor's disbursement of the funds levied by taxation, whilst colourful, are, in fairness, a little off the mark. Less than you seem to imagine is spent on "junkets for Bunterish lickspittles" and "dancing whores", whilst far more than you have accounted for is allocated to, for example, "that box-ticking facade of a university system". A couple of technical points arising from direct queries: 1. The reason we don't simply write "Muggins" on the envelope has to do with the vagaries of the postal system; 2. You can rest assured that "sucking the very marrows of those with nothing else to give" has never been considered as a practice because even if the Personal Allowance didn't render it irrelevant, the sheer medical logistics involved would make it financially unviable. I trust this has helped. In the meantime, whilst I would not in any way wish to influence your decision one way or the other, I ought to point out that even if you did choose to "give the whole foul jamboree up and go and live in India" you would still owe us the money. Please forward it by Friday. Yours sincerely, H J Lee, Customer Relations.

an analysis on BBC this morning showed the Tories with 44% of the vote, the best since Maggie Thatcher who had 45% when she won 397 seats, and better than the 2015 election. the spread of the vote has changed such that 44% does not now guarantee a working majority. They ended up with virtually 49% - still 8 seats short of a majority.

what was the voting like individually. Was it still 44% to 40% at the end. About that, yes. I think 43%/40%. Actually 48.9%, 40.2%.
