I am not a sheep, I have my own mind
I have had enough of being told what and how to think
Whilst we are still allowed the remnants of free speech,
I will speak out.
I also reserve the right to discuss less controversial matters should I feel the urge.
The Pound closed against the dollar on the 28th February this year at 1.3863.I don't remember the BBC calling this a disaster in February, why now?
It now stands at 1.3792
That's a fall of just over half of one percent - 0.512% in fact.
'... but what about the feelings of the three million Muslims who live in America? How is it going to feel to have a serious political figure, someone who aspires to lead this nation, essentially saying being Muslim is un-American?These people who day in, day out serve their communities, support their families, enrich the lives of fellow citizens and make America the successful melting pot that it is. Kids who recite the pledge of allegiance in the morning at their schools and go to their mosque or church or synagogue in the evening at the weekend?'
'How does it work? If no candidate gets 50% of all votes cast, the candidate in fourth place is eliminated. Their second preference votes are then redistributed among the remaining three. If no-one has still not got 50% of votes the third place candidate is eliminated with their second preferences (or third in the case of votes transferred from the fourth place candidates) redistributed. It is then a straight head-to-head between the last two candidates with the one having the most votes winning.'
'British number one Heather Watson gave top seed Serena Williams a huge scare before losing a thrilling third-round match at Wimbledon.The 23-year-old battled back from a set down, winning six straight games from 3-3 in the second set.Watson served for the match at 5-4 in the decider but five-time Wimbledon champion Williams recovered to win 6-2 4-6 7-5 in two hours and 15 minutes.'
Odd how many Muslim countries share this 'fundamentalist interpretation of Islamic law', isn't it?'The UK has urged Saudi Arabia not to carry out a reported sentencing of paralysis for a Saudi man as punishment for paralysing another man.
A Foreign Office spokesperson said London was "deeply concerned" by the sentence, describing it as "grotesque".
Such punishment was "prohibited under international law", the official added.
Saudi media reports earlier said the 24-year-old man could be paralysed from the waist down if he could not pay his victim £250,000 in compensation.
Ali al-Khawahir was 14 when he stabbed a friend in the back in the Eastern Province town of al-Ahsa. He has been in prison for 10 years.
The judge in the case has reportedly interpreted the Islamic law of qisas, or retribution, that Saudi Arabia follows as meaning that he in turn could face being paralysed.
Amnesty International has described this as tantamount to torture.
The sentencing is the latest example of Saudi Arabia's fundamentalist interpretation of Islamic law attracting international criticism.'
'The BBC blurb for the Danny Baker Radio London afternoon show runs 'The radio genius with great guests, calls and music.' They're quite correct but then why have they cancelled his show?'Menawhile the pinheads at the BBC still have this on the Radio London schedules for today
'Radio and TV presenter, Danny Baker, has lashed out at the BBC for making radical cuts in jobs and funding.
Baker, who presents a BBC London 94.9FM show, as well as one on Radio 5Live, used Twitter to criticise the corporation.
He tweeted, “So the BBC London afternoon show – current Sony Gold Holder – is to be part of the Delivering Quality First cuts. The logic of Genius.
“Nothing like having your show axed under an initiative called Delivering Quality First to let you know how valued you are. #CrapOutFirst
“Just off up the end of the garden with 3 Sony Gold awards (one current, one not even mine) and a stick of dynamite. #DeliveringDynamiteFirst…
Several of his followers responded, and one even began a hashtag campaign, #savethecandyman hashtag campaign.
Twitter user John Bradley wrote, “#prodnose Cutting the wonderful award winning Danny Baker Show while claiming to #deliverqualityfirst is ridiculous #bbc #savethecandyman.”
And another, Amanda Hodgson, tweeted, “Anyone who listened to Danny Baker @prodnose on Desert Island Discs knows what a valuable asset he is to the #BBC big mistake there guys.”'
'Next weekAs Rob Brydon has tweeted:@prodnose is inducted into Radio Academy Hall of fame. Not surprising, he's the best. Today the BBC are axing his show. Dickwits.'
As Danny tweeted:'Glad that BBC are axing@prodnose Danny Baker's daily radio show. I've had it up to here with his wit, warmth and originality.'
'Deep thanks to everyone who has responded about the radio. We dwell amid pinheaded weasels who know only timid, the generic and the abacus.'As Danny says 'I hope they choke on their abacuses'
