Here’s those “cat-sized” rats, getting all the publicity.
Honestly, rats do not grow to the size of cats. It’s not a bloody James Herbert novel! I love rats ( though I don’t love ‘love rats’ 
), but not the vermin kind so much;

I used to take my little corgi/sheepdog cross ratting at harvest time when the rats where full to bursting with spilled wheat, and they were all considerably smaller than him. They must have pretty scrawny cats in Birmingham if the rats were their size.
I guess all the well fed cats meet their end in the vicinity of kebab shops there.
“Miliband approves wind turbines as tall as Eiffel Tower to be built in Channel”
Doesn’t matter how tall they are, how big the blades are, how many of them there are – when the wind don’t blow, they produce the zilch, de nada, nothing directly accountable for Britain bearing the burden of the highest electricity prices in the world.
Kommissar Miliband Must Fall.
Even worse, they will use quite a bit of power to turn the shafts to keep the bearing from deforming under static load.
The treatment of Nurse Melle reveals the classic playbook. The victim of some corporate or institional misdemeanor ends up having the data protection act thrown at them as a deflection from the real issue. In effect the victim cannot reveal the information about what has happened to them .The data protection act needs to be amended to include that any person with a reasonable claim about something, someone, or some contract as affecting them adversely , also owns the right to that information. To attempt to hide this behind some other privacy law or contract is an offence against a person’s basic right to defend themselves.
Franz Kafka is alive, hiding behind the the DEI Officer’s desk and up to the usual mischief at St Helier Hospital in Carshalton, Surrey.
In the meantime the HR staff who allow this kind of angle should be named and shamed for such amoral behaviour. Utterly disgusting.
She should pull the race card on them; seems like for once it could legitimately be played. Seems like they have failed in their duty of care to support a victim of racist abuse.

“…The average cost of installing a heat pump is still ridiculously high”

“…My thermostats are set at 15C during the day and 17C at night”

“…My bath is only ever half full and tepid”
“…The hot water and heating can’t run together”

“…It still creates a whirring sound when working which can be for hours on end”
“…Another downside is that you need a PhD to work the thing”
FGS get an oil boiler – The Planet is perfectly capable of saving itself. It’s saving humanity we need to worry about.
Yeah…. no.
Presumably mis-gendering ranks higher up the hate speech scale of injustice than use of the N word.
Not that long ago a substantial number of the articles above would have been April Fools’ jokes. Seriously – “accent bias” Feel I am going quite mad. Maybe there already…….?
“BBC accused of ‘Islamist propaganda’ for calling Muslim converts ‘reverts’”
This information is vitally important, because once the world understands that Islam regards ALL OF HUMANITY as “originally Muslims” who became “Apostates” in adopting any other religion such as Christianity, and some “revert” back to their “original Muslim faith”, the world will see how Muslims justify murdering infidels as “Apostates”.
And westerners will understand why, as Fjordman once said,
“Islam Must Be Expelled From The West”.
I see that two Labour MP’s have been refused entry to Israel for some ‘see how much we care’ grandstanding. Pearls are being clutched, and brows furrowed about it all. Well, for me, I see the duty of an MP, as being primarily to their constituents, not heading off for some ill thought out international jaunt to tell another nation where they are going wrong. Gaza is outside of our range of political influence, and these two servants of our nations should be politely told to stop imagining that they are doing anything of good. No doubt they hoped to get a nice warm feeling for regurgitating their strongly held and profoundly wrong views to the gullible and the romantics..
Hear, hear!
