BBC London has now described those complaining about the ULEZ extension as being made up of right wing activists.

This is getting utterly ridiculous. As soon as you have legitimate concerns over a policy that has very little support and is being actively challenged by local authorities and County councils you get called right wing. It is completely wrong and the BBC are totally out of order for publicising it as such.

There are a lot of very angry people in areas around the fringes of London at the moment and we all know that the installation of cameras is Khan’s first move in charging any movement within the London Boroughs within the M25 by the mile.

Yes - just read this.
So the BBC - our national broadcaster reports something but makes the point of saying that many protestors were right wing and conspiracy theorists - hmm.
Piss poor reporting is that - not even reporting as such - just a biased media outlet doing what they do best - talk s*** and back a left wing Mayor who doesn't have a clue what he is doing!!

Where is that info Badger - I would be interested to read.
Thanks

I wouldn't mind trying to 'turn' her I'd have to put something in her mouth, though, to stop the flow of dropped aitches

Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

This had me in stitches. All those nasty racist Egyptians. And Jada Pinkett Smith - important for her daughter - why exactly? Not privileged enough?

Kind of. She was the daughter of Ptolemy XII who was of Greek descent, her mother was probably Egyptian.

Probably?

Based on what?

As did we.

The Ptolemy's all intermarried within their own Macedonian tribe annoyingly we know who Cleopatra's family and grandparents all except her mother, all Macedonian. It is highly unlikely her mother was black or even Egyptian but it cannot be proved either way.

The Romans hated her because it meant civil war plenty of Roman writers at the time called her a whore and the rest. They did not refer to her as black which if she was they would have.

In Roman society people who had dark skin were slaves and the lower classes because of course they worked outside. pink and white skin was the ultimate prize because it meant you had some poor sod do all the work for you.

If Cleopatra was black it is surprising that the Romans did not refer to this as it would have been a great insult in their eyes.

So whilst there is no concrete evidence to support her being entirely Greek the only evidence she was black is the absence of her mother's name and lineage.

It's a nice story for those that like to believe in black achievement.
