Dasaolu becomes second-fastest Brit - BBC Sport

A British athlete running 100m in 9.91! I am shocked... Maybe he could threaten the Jamaicans & Americans.

Well not with 9.91 but if he could get down into the 9.8s then maybe...

UPDATE:
Of course if the leading Americans and Jamaicans keep failing drug tests then it could be a GB gold, silver & bronze!

Another delicious piece of Leftist hypocrisy - The Commentator

A must read article..  Here's an extract:
'It doesn't matter that the multi-billion pound behemoth that is the BBC wastes our money left right and centre; it is the right kind of broadcaster. It is not Sky. Sky is evil you see. The BBC isn't.

And it is perfectly fine for the BBC to spend a fortune on presenters like Jeremy Paxman but not so good when it comes to Jeremy Clarkson because he's, well, the wrong type of presenter.

And it is perfectly fine for a footballer to be on £250,000 a week. That's good. That's working class.

Football is working class isn't it? I'm sure I read in the Guardian that it was.

In reality of course, mates of mine who grew up supporting their teams can hardly afford to attend nowadays as prices take the sport away from them.

But £250,000 a week is fine for Rooney. It's the right kind of wage unlike those evil bankers with their £1m wages and £250,000 a year bonuses. That's the wrong kind of pay.

And of course Microsoft is evil but Apple isn't. Starbucks is a tax-cheating filthy company until you need wi-fi and your double, skinny, mocha-peasant flat.

Now, hypocrisy isn't, unfortunately, the sole preserve of the left, but they just do a damn good job at it. Whether sending their kids to private school while condemning everyone else to the sink estate comp or flying to Tuscany as air-fares go up -- all to protect the planet you know -- the left see things in absolutes. '


True dat!'

Mum claims son was REFUSED water at school in heatwave as it was 'unfair' on fasting Muslim classmates - Mirror Online

'Headteacher Craig Duncan said: "We do everything that we can to ensure the welfare of all of our children and we would never prevent them from having access to water.

"In this case, water was available and pupils were just reminded to be respectful to their classmates who were unable to drink in this hot weather."'

Welcome to 21st century multi cultural Britain. Except often it's less multi cultural and more scared of offending Islam.

Missile from Gaza hits Western Negev: BBC silent | BBC Watch

Missiles fired from Gaza at Israel are apparently not newsworthy. I am sure the BBC will manage to report any Israeli response.

Television's treatments of Jesus and Mohammad

Red Dwarf X has someone portraying Jesus, obviously he's played as pretty dumb and then also determined to trash his reputation because of the wars he finds out will be started in his name.

Will there ever be an episode portraying Mohammad similarly? Somehow I doubt it.

At the end of the programme, it was shown that this was a different Jesus, so that's OK then. Then another Jesus appeared along with his twin Judas, a blasphemous explanation of this situation was presented earlier in the episode.

Would a TV programme get away with doing a similar, but it was only that Mohammad plot line?

Accentuate the Positive, Jordan is Palestine - Op-Eds - Israel National News

FIFA’s Stony Silence on Soccer Field Launchers (Video) | The Jewish Press

Fifa show the usual spinelessness of a trans national organisation when faced with evidence of Islamic terrorists.




'The international FIFA soccer association totally ignored a government presentation Tuesday of Hamas’ using soccer fields to camouflage underground missile launchers and instead delivered a threat that Israel faces expulsion from FIFA if it does not allow free travel to Palestinian Authority soccer players.

Hamas bragged last year about its missiles hidden underneath a Gaza soccer field during Israel’s Pillar of Defense offensive to stop missile attacks that  reached as far north as Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu hosted FIFA president Joseph Blatter on Tuesday after the soccer official attended the opening of the new offices of the Palestine Football Association in Ramallah.

If Netanyahu thought his visual presentation of missile launchers underneath a soccer field would convince Blatter that perhaps soccer fields are not always what they seem to be, he was sorely mistaken.

The exhibit impressed Blatter about as much as Netanyahu impressed Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with his “red line” exhibition on Iran’s nuclear program in the United Nations last year.

The Prime Minister showed Blatter aerial photographs of Fajr-5 missile launchers in the Gaza soccer stadium.

Blatter did not utter a word.

“This is a double war crime,” Netanyahu said. “You’re firing on civilians and you’re hiding behind civilians.”

Blatter did not utter a word.

“We ask FIFA to allow Israel to play fair and not to let the organization and football to be exploited to spread lies,” Netanyahu said.

Blatter did not utter a word.

Netanyahu reminded his visitor that the head of the PA soccer association is Jibril Rajoub, who said earlier this year that, “Gee, I sure wish the Palestinian Authority had a nuclear weapon, because if we did, I would have used it.”

Blatter did not utter a word..

When he did open his mouth, he had this to say: “I will go to defend not only the Palestine Football Association but I will defend the basic principles of FIFA, (which are) to connect people and not to separate people.”

Blatter praised soccer as a way to peace. FIFA’a values are “to recognize each other through football and to live not only in peace but in harmony,” he stated.'

Islamophobia – The Irrational Fear of Questioning Islam - Liberties Alliance :: Liberties Alliance

A must read article... Here's the introduction:
'This article will discuss the way the word 'Islamophobia' has been used as a political weapon rather than as an honest way of communicating an idea.  The main problem arises from the fact that by combining the words 'Islam' and 'phobia' the resulting term is itself contradictory given current usage.  It ignores rational fears that people may have and in the best Stalinist tradition labels those with such fears as being mentally ill.

We will start by showing how the term 'Islamophobia' as it is currently used is merely a political tool to shut people up.  We will then demonstrate how a word that combines 'Islam' and 'phobia' could be more appropriately defined.  The inclusion of a linguistic component used regularly by psychiatrists will of course be justified in our more logical definition.  We will then look at the case of the recent Boston bombing as an example of what happens when Islamophobia as the irrational fear of questioning Islam is not taken into consideration by policymakers who often appear to be its most acute sufferers.

This article will argue that if the world 'phobia' is to be used in combination with Islam then it is more appropriate for describing the people who currently wield the term rather than those who are victimised by such people.  Islamophobia therefore then defined as 'the irrational fear of questioning Islam'.'
And the title of the first section:
''Islamophobia' As A Tool To Shut People Up! '

The difference between Iran and Israel for women


But there'll still be lefty women who will scream their denunciation of 'Israeli crimes' whilst supporting the Iranian regime's fight against 'Zionist oppression'.

Enough, no more time will I waste on @DD1958

I have been engaged in a Twitter debate of sorts with @DD1958. When I saw the following Tweet I should have NCF'd him, instead I continued trying to prove that he was wrong about Israel and the Palestinians.

I now have concluded that it's not worth continuing to debate with someone whose mind is so closed and impervious to facts, it's like talking to a particularly thick brick wall. So I have issued my final NCF to @DD1958.

@DD1958 you'll get no more pleasure from winding up this non-bigot.



In case anybody doesn't know, NCF means 'No Comment Follows'.

Sharia Law in Uganda: Converts out of Islam Acid Attacked - Atlas Shrugs

'Senior Pastor/Bishop Umar Mulinde of Gospel Life Church International outside Kampala has begun facial reconstruction after assailants who shouted "Allahu Akbar [God is greater]" cast acid on him on Christmas Eve 2011, while Christian school founder Hassan Muwanguzi of eastern Uganda is homeless and facing death threats from Islamic extremists who burned down his house.

"Acid damaged my face beyond what we had initially thought," Mulinde recently wrote to Morning Star News from Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer (near Tel Aviv), Israel, "causing a very terrible wound, nearly cutting off my head, right eye, ear, nose and causing serious deforming scars, but praise God that He helped me to get good medication and prayers of the saints worldwide, otherwise I almost died."'
Even in Christian majority countries, large Muslim minorities are flexing their muscles and implementing sharia law.
