Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Pretty shocking news of Shinzo Abe (sp?) former Japan premier being assassinated.

Nicholas Winterton was the previous Macc MP so I guess that tells a tale. Next to Tatton too, of infamy in the Martin Bellera etc. (Now the despicable Esther McVey, previously Osborne, previously the Hamiltons). Deepest darkest (i.e. whitest) Cheshire of course, so blue instincts run deep there.

This doesn't look too good for international relations:

"Moments ago we reported that Chinese government officials expressed shock at Abe's shooting and have said they hope he recovers soon.

But on social media Chinese nationalists have been expressing joy at the shooting.

BBC analysis showed many of the top liked comments on Weibo, one of China's biggest social media platforms, gloated at the former PM's shooting, while the state-backed broadcaster CCTV's TikTok account videos also posted mocking videos."

They've missed the words 'A second time' from that headline.

They need to do everything they can now to force a snap election. They are polling at 40 with tories at 29.

Another reason why all the talk of Bunter calling a snap election was nonsense.

I know someone who went to Eton who is really nice #anecdata. He was on a scholarship, though :)
