Just had an interesting email regarding the term Global Majoritythat they adopted last year. It is to replace ethnicity terms .Quote
"We use global majority in place of other terms you may have heard of, are currently using, or have previously used. This includes terms such as BAME (Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic), BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour), and ethnic minorities".
Looking online, I see lots of places taking it up , with one replacing BAME with GEM for Global Ethnic Majority.
I honestly cannot keep up with correct terminology

Instead of being welcomed or congratulated their was a torrent of vile, nasty and homophobic abuse

What is wrong with people!

Sadiq Khan wasted £6m asking a PR firm to come up with new names for different parts of the Overground. They are
Windrush line
Suffragette line
Mildmay line
Weaver line.
Liberty line
Lioness line

I think Windrush is quite good, Suffragette would be better as Pankhurst line, the next two I don't get. What is their relevance to London? Last two are relevant.
When will we see leaves on the Windrush line?
Who will be the first woman dumped on the Suffragette line?

Some topical alternative names on social media are.
County line
Gender Affirming Care line
Free Palestine line
Shamima line.

Very sad, a 30 year old lady we know has died. She has covid in 2020, was on a ventilator, came off it but had bleeding on the brain and 2 heart attacks and was on the transplant list for a kidney as covid messed hers up. Can't stop thinking about her little boy. Life is sad sometimes

If you haven't caught any of it, she is the district attorney taking on Donald Trumps election rigging case.
Ms Willis is being questioned about her relationship with a special prosecutor whom she hired for the case, amongst accusations that she overpaid him and proffited from his salary because he took her on holidays and cruises.
She stated she paid her half, but in cash so no record. No record of her withdrawing cash to pay him as it was " from cash lying around her house". Very entertaining.
On a serious note though, if kicked off the Trump case it will be hugely delayed ,probably until after the election, or dropped altogether

Back in 2017-2019 there was a campaign trying to stop sheep racing that has gone on at countryside fairs for years. The campaign failed .

This year it’s started up again with those that were going to arrange the racing being bullied, harassed and threatened.

I have seen these and pig, geese and duck racing several times, the animals are not beaten or forced, and I’ve never seen any terrified. Has any other member seen these races. What do you think - realistically

Personally I am against animal cruelty but think we have more important things to worry about .

“Even after every single INDICTMENT, ARREST, and WITCH HUNT, you never left my side,” gushes the GOP presidential front-runner. “I wouldn’t be the man I am today without your guidance, kindness, and warmth,” Trump continues, with sudden emphasis, “You will always mean the world to me, Melania!”

He signs his love note, “From your husband with love, Donald J. Trump.”

Love is in the air.

If this Valentine’s Day letter inspired you to want to “SEND YOUR LOVE” to Melania, the email gives you the option of doing so by clicking on those words, which take you to a page asking for money for Trump’s presidential campaign.

The last thing you want when going out for an evening at the theatre is to hear an antisemitic rant and the so called comedian shouting at a member of the audience.

I hope other theatres will ban him.

I was watching Laura Kuenssberg programme this morning and this woman on the panel gave this reason why King Charles or Buckingham Palace are not revealing what type of cancer he has. She said,
"it's because the King wants to be inclusive. He wants people with all cancers to be thought of as equals. If it's revealed which cancer he has, people with the same cancer may feel superior to those with other cancers as they have the Royal cancer. And those with all other cancers may feel forgotten"
I thought what a load of tosh.

There seems to be a lot of hatred for the Mayor of London or should I say the leader of the assembly. Much of this seems politically or even racially motivated and very biased because he is only the mouthpiece or employee of those that meet to discuss, put forward and plan for the future. Everyone on here focuses on ulez but doesn’t mention or even appreciate he is nearer to achieving net zero than anywhere else in the country. Similar with youth. He is attacked for not bringing crime down but not appreciated for giving all children free lunches. Now he is launching a charter to keep children that may go on to commit crimes in their schools, instead of excluding them. As there is evidence to say that those involved in crimes, particularly violent crime are almost always those that were excluded or did not attend school regularly. He is realistic and appreciates that some children will still be excluded especially in regard to the safety of others but it is hoped that increasing inclusivity and involvement may finally start the change that needs to be made to encourage young people’s futures to be positive instead of negative.

Have just been reading about people whose number plates have been cloned receiving fines etc. they haven't incurred.
What I don't understand is how criminals manage to clone number plates when the DVLA has records - which shouldn't allow this to happen, surely. Is it too difficult to put a block on people duplicating number plates?
