BritVic's JournalRousing versions of IRA rebel songs on primetime BBC TV !
From the latest cringe-inducing episode of 'This Time' featuring Steve Coogan as hapless TV presenter Alan Partridge last night. A lookalike Alan from Sligo, in the Republic of Ireland (great splitscreen work with Coogan in a double role) hijacks the show and belts out some highly inappropriate pro-IRA songs (Come Out Ye Black And Tans and The Men Behind The Wire) while seated next to a Daniel Craig lookalike.
"Oh my God, that was like an advert for the IRA" remarks Partridge to his co-host.
The Irish lookalike turns to 'Daniel Craig' "Double-O feckin' bollocks"
Jawdropping stuff on a mainstream TV channel.

Nigel Farage's Brexit 'March to Leave' - not a great turnout
Former UKIP leader and pro-Brexiter Nigel Farage's 'March To Leave' began from Sunderland, in the North-East of England with the end destination being London. Sunderland was one of the first cities to declare in favour of Brexit on the night of the vote. Formerly an city of heavy industry, it has gone into decline since the 80's. Nissan opened a car plant in 1984 and the plant now employs 7,000. On 12th March, the company announced a scaling back of production on two of its models.
It wasn't the most auspicious start for the march today. Farage (who charged everyone £50 to take part !) declared he wouldn't be participating in the whole march. (Too fond of his home comforts and the booze and Havana cigars at his gentlemen's club) also, as can be seen here, the weather was absolutely atrocious. I live about 6 miles from the city and would have gone to take a look. but gale force winds and lashing rain put me off - I like to put my feet up on a Saturday morning !
The marchers are being tailed by a Remain protest, organised by the 'Led By Donkeys' group.
I think we can safely say that if Brexit does not take place, given the scale of protest here, there will not be civil war on the streets of England.

UPDATE : Farage marched for an hour - then got on the a bus - and left !

How long before Trump tweets "No collusion !"
Totally misconstruing the comments by the Judge that this case in particular wasn't about collusion. I give it a couple of hours.
UK ambassador to UK says chlorine-washed chicken and hormone-fed beef is fine
I think Trump sees our forthcoming Brexit as some sort of fire sale where not only can he inflict this cheap food on the British public but force us to accept much lower food regulatory standards. Looking at Woody Johnson's Twitter feed (he had an article on this subject in the Daily Telegraph today), people aren't too keen on the idea.
