Multi-millionaire Lady Sara Bathurst, the High Sheriff of Gloucestershire, called the NHS a "disgrace" for making the charge, posting a photo of a letter received from her GP and accusing them of "blackmail".

PMQs 26TH October – “If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through”
I didn’t write my PMQs last week as I was in New York (show off) and simply had better things to do than listen to Theresa May say “Brexit means Brexit.” In fact there are few things worse, attaching a car battery to my own testicles….maybe. Also just to ensure we never enjoy a PMQs again a York University study has reported that Theresa May scores incredibly highly in dodging questions, oh joy. However, personally for the first time I...

15ft Structure Erected Outside Home Office Building as Child Refugees Arrive
A 15ft structure has been erected outside a home office building ahead of the latest arrival of child refugees from Calais to London. White sheeting was put up in front of scaffolding in order to screen any arrivals from waiting photographers after many of the first arrivals appeared to be older than they claimed. Yesterday another 14 migrants arrived in Croydon, with half demanding not to be photographed and many covering their faces with blankets. Today, around half a dozen construction workers...
Supporting EU ‘should be classed as treason’ says Tory councillor…his town voted to Remain
In a move that would see the prison population swell to an unimaginable size, a Tory councillor has taken it upon himself to start a petition calling for those who disagree with Brexit should be charged with treason. Aside from the fact that 48 per cent of the voters didn’t agree with Brexit, this hasn’t stopped Christian Holliday who was a Vote Leave co-ordinator for Guildford, Surrey in the lead up to the vote. There is a slight issue, his...

There are very few people, it seems, with much good to say about Presidential candidate Donald Trump at the moment. It appears to be getting worse by the day for the billionaire, as a number of women have come forward and accused him of being sexually inappropriate with them, however none of these claims have been substantiated yet, and he remains innocent until proven guilty. Now ex-Baywatch star and Playboy cover girl Pamela Anderson has put her hat in the...
Watch – ‘Hard Brexit’ or ‘no Brexit’ says EU president Tusk
This will be music to the ears of staunch Brexiteers, but will terrify everyone else. The EU council president, Donald Tusk, has said that there is only one type of Brexit…and it’s a Hard Brexit. Tusk rejected Boris Johnson’s claim that the UK would end up with a better deal with the EU than it has now. Donald’s remarks are the first time he has taken such a hardline against the UK. This comes as there are various reports US...
