austerity day lunch london school
A London private school's 'Austerity Day' lunch has been met with a fierce response online, with many accusing the £24,000-a-year school of being tasteless and out of touch over the meal.

While St Paul's Girls' School in Hammersmith normally feeds its students the likes of duck leg confit and slow-baked Moroccan lamb, its idea of an austerity lunch is the same kind of food that students in non-fee paying schools across the country eat every day - baked potato, coleslaw, beans, and fruit.

The school tweeted about the lunch, served to raise money for charity, using a photograph of a white-gloved waiter serving three peas on a silver platter.

Comment: Granted it is admirable that the school at least attempts to educate the children about the issue, but it's still a tasteless stunt gone wrong and it highlights just how out of touch the few who aren't suffering crushing 'austerity' really are:

Members of the local DC Democratic Socialists of America group confronted Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen at a Mexican restaurant Tuesday evening.

"We're in downtown DC disrupting DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen's dinner at MXDC," the group wrote below the video on its Facebook page. "The irony isn't lost on us that this is a Mexican restaurant. Nielsen has led the program to tell her to put an end to separating families, to step down as head of the department, and that ICE and CBP must be abolished #abolishICE #abolishCBP"

One of the activists who chased Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen out of a Mexican restaurant Tuesday night over the Trump administration's immigration policies is an employee of the Department of Justice, The Daily Caller News Foundation has confirmed.

An employee within the Trump administration initially tipped TheDCNF off about Hrabar's presence at the protest.

The Washington Examiner spoke with Hrabar Wednesday and she defended her behavior as off government time and a use of her First Amendment rights.

Despite Hrabar's claims of keeping her personal politics outside of her time as an employee of the federal government, a look at her Twitter account, @allisongeroi, features tweets during the workday openly celebrating her behavior Tuesday night.

US libtards are clinically insane and don't care at all about average American people

Even before Donald Trump won the White House, there were strong indications that something was not quite right with the Liberal mindset. Today, all doubt on the matter has been cleared away.

The mass hysteria that swept across Liberal America, like one giant tear tsunami, following Hillary Clinton's 'surprise' loss in the 2016 presidential election has reached a new level of madness and can now be described as a deep-seated psychosis.

There are some understandable reasons for the Left's collective mental breakdown. Briefly, 'Russiagate' is disintegrating into a burlesque theater of the absurd, while Trump - from jump-starting the Heartland's industrial sector, to making peace with a nuclear-armed dictator, to 'winning' the World Cup - is on a serious roll. If the momentum continues, it may give the Republicans a crucial victory in November congressional midterms. The Democrats, acutely aware as to what is at stake yet unable to stop Trump, are showing a side of their character that can be best described as treacherous. And in order to see the symptoms of a disintegrating Democratic Party one only need look at the US entertainment industry.

French exceptionalism? Bankers, billionaires scold Macron for elitism

Perhaps only in France would a billionaire and one of the nation's most powerful bankers both publicly chastise the president for neglecting ordinary people.

But such is France's professed attachment to its egalitarian tradition that such unlikely critics took aim at Emmanuel Macron on Friday over his promotion of a more meritocratic culture.

"Macron doesn't understand the little people. I'm afraid he's leading France toward a system that leaves the least favored behind," Le Monde quoted Francois Pinault, whose business empire includes the Gucci fashion house, as saying.

Comment: An interesting development. Perhaps the billionaires have a better grip on French history than Macron. The French Revolution wasn't so long ago.

Unintended consequences: When PC comes back to bite you

The left-wing establishment's gambits are blowing up in its face.

Political correctness run amok is a popular topic on the right these days. Indeed, the conservative bookshelf is chock full of best-sellers devoted to the topic. Subject matters vary. One may focus on the hypocrisy of campus speech codes, another on the revisionist attempt to indict our founding fathers, yet another on secular progressivism's relentless campaign against religious freedom.

Still, progressive-inspired changes to our value system have made their mark - most notably during the eight-year reign of Barack Obama - and particularly among the generation popularly known as "Millennials." My response to these unwelcome changes has been two-fold: (1) I chronicle the establishment's tantrums whenever an anti-PC, Trump-inspired "disruptor" event takes place; and (2) I publicize vignettes wherein progressive overreaching boomerangs to the Left's disadvantage.

Pedophrasty

Definition: Argument involving children to prop up a rationalization and make the opponent look like an asshole, as people are defenseless and suspend all skepticism in front of suffering children: nobody has the heart to question the authenticity or source of the reporting. Often done with the aid of pictures.

Can also describe the exploitation of babies by professional beggars who rent them from their parents and use them as potent appendage in their trade(remember that children tend to grow and need to be replaced).

Cover-up? Twitter reacts to report that UK government will buy Skripal's house with taxpayers footing the bill

The house of Sergei Skripal will be purchased by UK taxpayers, according to officials cited by The Sunday Times. The move has prompted a range of responses online - from cover-up allegations to jokes about home ownership.

Taxpayers will be footing the bill for Skripal's home, which is expected to be bought by the UK government for around £350,000 (US$464,000), The Sunday Times reported, citing Whitehall officials. They will also pay for the home of Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey, who fell ill after coming into contact with the nerve agent Novichok. That house is expected to cost taxpayers around £430,000. All in all, the purchase of both homes, cars, and other possessions, will amount to a hefty £1 million.

But the government's decision to snatch up Skripal's house has raised eyebrows online, including from those who believe the UK has "something to hide," since there remains zero evidence to back claims that Russia was behind the poisoning of Skripal and his daughter Yulia.

47-year-old Kathy Yeo was sentenced in 2000 to a maximum 24 years in prison for the murder of Christopher Mark Dorrian, 31.
The family of a man who was decapitated by a former lover pleaded with his killer to reveal the location of his dismembered body amid outrage over her upcoming release.

Kathy Yeo, 47, was sentenced to a maximum 24 years in prison in Sydney, Australia, for the murder of Christopher Mark Dorrian, 31, in 2000.

Christopher was shot three times in the head and dismembered after he ended his relationship with her.

His head was found in a sports bag in Cooks River in Marrickville, Sydney, in 1997, but his body remains lost.

His mum previously told A Current Affair: "We never found my son's body.

"They won't say anything... I had to bury my son's head."
