Next time someone tells you that train drivers "just push buttons" show them this from the BBC

The driver "managed to contact the control
centre at Network Rail and get the train
diverted onto the slow line", Calder says.

"That was absolutely crucial because this
train was scheduled to be travelling through
Huntingdon station on the tracks with no
platform at 125mph."

"It didn't stop in the middle of nowhere,
which would have been very difficult."

Calder thinks this was handled in the "safest
possible way" thanks to the "incredible
professionalism from the driver and the
police". Train drivers are trained on how to
take appropriate action, he adds,

I think its now got to be the case that respectable people should just refuse to appear on panels with Goodwin, even if that means cancelling on the BBC at short notice.

We're now at "black people aren't British". Open sewer racism. Look forward to seeing him on QT again soon.

Extract from more recent Goodwin post. He really should never be allowed on the BBC - or any other reputable broadcaster - again.

He’s not really trying to hide it. It’s open, unapologetic racism; let’s be plain about it.

Matt Goodwin’s stance on migration is pretty much indistinguishable from that of the BNP in the past 1990s and not a million miles from that of the NF in the 1970s.

Matt Goodwin attributes a crime that he now knows appears to have been committed by people born in Britain in the early 1990s to "mass uncontrolled immigration"

Yes, because Badenoch’s was a criminal offence carrying a custodial sentence, whereas Reeves’ was not.

Badenoch says hacking into Harriet Harman's website 17 years ago 'not the same' as Reeves breaking law

Kemi Badenoch has said hacking into Harriet Harman's website when she was younger is "not the same" as Rachel Reeves failing to get a £900 rental licence for her home.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

I'm not convinced another four weeks of this is sustainable. The second best time for making an argument - one that resonates with people - is now.

(The best time was about two or three years ago.)
