Why Carbis Bay? More on the G7 meeting in Carbis Bay. It just gets stranger by the day. It transpires that Carbis Bay is where Boris Johnson’s grandmother went into labour before being rushed to Penzance where she gave birth to Stanley, his father. The next issue is the
“De-radicalisation” seems to be about as effective as taking homeopathic medicine to mend a severed limb. The list of supposedly “de-radicalised” swivel-eyed Islamic fanatics who went on to get all jihad-y is longer than an arm and a leg piled up in the rubble of a suicide bombing. Parsons Green

You’ve got to feel for Britain’s Sikhs. In almost every way, they’re the success story of British immigration. A strong work and family ethic has seen Britain’s Sikh community notch up notable success in everything from education to employment, affluence and home ownership. Britain’s Sikhs
