Lucky you, you woke up, you could go back to bed, this poor lad won't be waking up again, thanks to your mates, the terrorist scum. When I talk about 'these people', it's the sort of people who support murderous scum like this I'm talking about, people with no moral compass whatsoever.

"Hamas torture protester to death and leave body on family?s doorstep. Terrorist group kidnaps Oday Al Rabbay shortly after he took part in protest against the war"

"Oday Al Rabbay was kidnapped shortly after participating in the protest and returned to his family?s home dead and bloody days later.

"Mazen Shat, a senior police officer affiliated with Fatah from Ramallah and a vocal critic of Hamas, said: ?Uday was martyred by the criminals of Hamas. ?And what?s his crime? He told the truth, because he refused to be silent on injustice, because he did not kneel to Hamas,? he told The Telegraph. He said that Hamas tortured the young man for four hours straight. Images showed open wounds and bruising that left the man?s body swollen and bloody. ?Hamas is oppressing people in a brutal way,? Mr Shat said. ?Like a puppy on a rope around his neck, they dragged him to the door of his house and told his family that this is the punishment for those who complain about Hamas.?

And you support this, there is something seriously wrong with you mon ami. Incidentally, while the Telegraph reports on the scum's latest atrocity, there is no mention of it on either the BBC or Grauniad website. not surprising, doesn't fit the lefty narrative does it, so just ignore it eh.

Deflect and dismiss while the murders carry on unabated...

And on it goes?

A police raid on a Quaker meeting house to arrest six women attending a protest meeting has been criticised as "ridiculously heavy-handed".

The women were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance, according to the Metropolitan Police, after attending an introductory meeting to Youth Demand.

Youth Demand, a protest group publicly planning to "shut down London" in April with a series of protests over the government's position on climate change and Gaza, had hired a room in the Westminster Quaker meeting house. It claimed as many as 30 officers took part in the raid.

They planned to shut down London ? No wonder the police were interested, good to see them doing their job for once. I wonder who dobbed them in to the Old Bill, you can't trust the Loony Left or religious fanatics can you.

It's April Fools Day, there's always a 'joke' story in the media, I've just looked at a few outlets and there is so much lunacy being reported on I can't identify one. My favourite is the one about the BBC expanding their 'fact checker' unit, because the nation depends on them for the truth, but that could easily be true.

I'm more concerned about the news that Bertie Bee has announced his retirement at the end of the season.

Spot on mon ami, it's good to see you getting it right, too many people are saying 'repeat and rinse', but it's not, it's 'rinse and repeat' as you say. Good on yer.

Birds of a feather flock together.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu begins a four-day visit to Hungary on Thursday, defying an International Criminal Court arrest warrant over allegations of war crimes in Gaza as Israel has expanded its military operation in the enclave.

As a founding member of the ICC, Hungary is theoretically obliged to arrest and hand over anyone subject to a warrant from the court but Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban made clear when he issued the invitation that Hungary would not respect the ruling.

Netanyahu, who is battling a political storm at home over an investigation into suspected ties between Qatar and three of his aides, is due to meet Orban ahead of a press conference at around 1000 GMT.

Netanyahu has rejected the accusations regarding his aides as "fake news". A Qatari official has dismissed the accusations as part of a "smear campaign" against Qatar.

Is there any news that is not immediately denounced as "Fake News?"

I tend to read a better source of news myself...

Can't read it mon ami, it appears to be behind a paywall. From the first sentence which is visible it seems to be about Israel seizing land in Gaza, if it's just going to say Israel won't be giving that land back, then I've mentioned this already. As Bibi says, 'From the border to the sea, Gaza belongs to me".

That will be interesting mon ami, my source is not a journalist, as far as I'm aware he doesn't write anything. If he does I've not seen any of it.

Trump and tariffs, Trump and tariffs, Go together like horse**** and sheriffs. Imposing tariffs is of course not a new idea by any means even by those who supported free trade. Two hundred years ago George Canning Foreign Secretary sent the following message to the English Ambassador in The Hague. “In matters of commerce the fault of the Dutch Is offering too little and asking too much. The French are with equal advantage content, So we clap on Dutch bottoms just twenty per cent”. Canning was not hellbent on starting a global trade war. Trump is and he and his mega-rich cronies will not be the ones to suffer by it. Everyone else will. Frankly Trump needs Canning.

And forget the 2.5 million people whose ancestors lived in Palestine 2000 years ago eh mon ami? I wonder how Trump will rub the Eskimos noses in the brown stuff. For Trump and Netanyahu read Hitler & Stalin.
