Are they going to carry out an investigation though. That would cause some turmoil to said person.
I see the Electoral Commission has found "troubling evidence" that people had voted twice in the election, saying they had received 1000 complaints. Last time I looked, the petition calling for them to act was in 6 figures.

Lets hope the police jump on this and use a similar amount of resource to the one they used in investigating the Conservative electoral expenses claims . I wonder if John Snow and his fellow Marxist " journalists " on Channel 4 News will cover it with the same passion

Newness being the key Pink. I doubt there's any need for viagra when one is in bed with a 25 year old look alike with no pre programmed inhibitions. ;)

The population explosion that we are all ignoring.
“Ladies, have you heard the news?” croons the singer to the women sitting beneath the tree in an isolated village in Benin. “You can take a pill every day.” The singer and his drummers have just disembarked from “the contraception boat”, said Geoffrey York in The Globe and Mail (Toronto). It is part of a nationwide contraception campaign to check Benin’s soaring population growth. Outside of Southern Africa and Kenya, less than 30% of women in Sub-saharan Africa use modern contraception. Many haven’t even heard of it. And now the entire programme is being put at risk, thanks to President Trump.
The US used to be the biggest donor to global family-planning schemes, said allafrica.com (Cape Town). But days after taking office, Trump ordered a halt to the $600m spend on familyplanning services overseas, saying any programme advocating abortion should have its funding removed. In April, he went a step further by withdrawing US support for the UN Population Fund. It’s a devastating blow to a continent that has to find a way to rein in runaway population growth, said Africa Times. com. The latest UN projection shows Africa’s population will at least double by 2050, and rise fourfold (to 4.4 billion) by the century’s end. By then, 40% of the world’s population will be African, said York, and the effects will be grave: “an escalating crisis in hunger, overcrowding, ecological damage, and rising migration pressures in Europe and North America”. Far from addressing the problem, Trump’s policy will aggravate it: analysts say it could lead to 6.5 million unintended pregnancies over the next four years alone.

For Nigeria, the coming baby boom is a disaster waiting to happen, said This Day (Lagos). Its population is expected to nearly double in just over 30 years and surpass that of the US. Nigeria will become the third-largest country in the world, after India and China. How can we feed and educate so many people, or guarantee access to sufficient clean water to prevent massive outbreaks of disease? Boko Haram and other extremist groups already press children into militias. Even more idle and illiterate children will mean bigger, nastier armed factions and a greater likelihood of conflict. It does not have to be this way, said Africatimes.com. If African girls got access to contraceptives and family-planning advice, it would create a virtuous circle. Africa could reap a “demographic dividend” – delayed pregnancy leading to better education and health for women, which would in turn fuel economic growth for everyone.

The EU is letting Italy shoulder a moral burden we should all share, says Le Monde, and that won’t end well, either for Italy or for Europe. By the end of this year alone, some 200,000 people will have sailed in teeming, unseaworthy boats from Libya to the shores of Italy; tens of thousands have already arrived. In desperation, Italy begged its partners at a recent EU meeting on the migrant crisis to at least host some of the humanitarian ships that rescue drowning migrants. Yet all Rome received were “some fine words” and a little money. France and Spain refuse to open their ports; Austria has “threatened to send tanks to the Italian border” to stop migrants crossing. No wonder Italians are bitter. They feel Europe has abandoned them, a belief that may push them into the arms of anti-eu parties in the elections likely to be held this autumn: “anti-immigrant and Eurosceptic” parties already attract nearly a third of Italy’s voters. France’s President Macron “claims to want to give shape to a new European impetus”, but is this really the way to begin? Working together for European unity must include sharing responsibility for the human lives at risk in the Mediterranean. Le Monde

What nonsense. Short term thinking nearly always leads to long term problems. Every day this nation's decision to Brexit makes more and more sense. Might sound harsh but migrants with nothing to offer Europe but outstretched hands and a copy of the Q'uran should have been returned to the Libyan coast from Day 1. Word would immediately have got back to their kinfolk that selling their wordly goods to pay people smugglers was a none starter and persuaded thousands not to set off. Bringing them back to Italy has just persuaded more and more to follow.

What a fine cause for London's Mayor to be busying himself with.

https://uk.reuters.com/article/britain-lgbt-entertainment-idUKL8N1JY2C3

Sign of the times mate with more than a nod toward the age old principles of supply and demand. However could this be a sexist issue? No mention of the straight pubs and clubs that have closed their doors across the nation is there? Blackburn for example is a ghost town at nights compared to 20 years and more ago. Reason for that of course is far too many Sadiqs knocking around. I wonder if he might care to take up his cudgel on that particular cause and effect?

How true.

That population explosion will have to be checked. On the news tonight that Africa's population will double by 2050! European women are producing 1.3 children on average whilst in Africa the average is approaching 5! Unreal figures! Enough to see the end of white caucasians. Bob bloody Geldof can't help that lot whatever he does! I guess every time they have a famine in the future and a following wind that the stench of decaying bodies will reach here! Medical science has much to answer for. It's got us into this situation and it's up to them to get us out of it.

I believe we have all noticed this from our politicians for far too many years.
From The Times.
"Don’t let the religious tide engulf Britain
Across the world, from India and Turkey, to Hungary and the US, a tide of religious zealotry is on the rise, says Janice Turner. Britain – ignoring the hardline anti-abortion views of Jacob Rees-mogg – seems one of the few places to have escaped the trend: the British Social Attitudes survey shows that for the first time non-believers are in a majority (53%). But don’t let’s be complacent about the encroachment of religion into the public sphere. It’s occurring here too, and our leaders are doing nothing to resist it. The Left has “abandoned Enlightenment principles for the fractured discourse of identity politics”, and indulges “those who cry racism at every challenge to religious rule”. It stays silent about Sharia courts that discriminate against women. Its leaders “sit in gender-segregated meetings with male elders that can deliver a block Muslim vote”. The Tories are no better: they have let faith schools proliferate to please their Catholic and Anglican base. Theresa May wants to overturn even the modest requirement that selection by religion be capped at 50%. We must stand up for our secular values. “That we will hold together can never be taken for granted.”"
