Occasional freelance journalist, editor, stringer, author of Get Going In Freelance Journalism' (2003). Now tethered to Polska. Originally from another green and pleasant land. (In colour, Dullby astound sound in semi-RP native English.)
Surprisingly enough, can't find this one on Sky News's pages. Poor Kamali who had to fill with "Er yeah, so apologies if you heard any bad language we'll, er, check that out."
Chuck that out might've been better if only they'd bought a dump button.

Disappointingly, I had to switch channels (or flip as Americans say) last night after it got just too irritating to watch such smug claptrap. Yes, *that* UK channel with otherwise very good, clear newsreaders but some separate Nightbus-like hosts began to roast JK and/or C4 before I'd hit 'mute'.

As a Brit who lived in a Catholic country for many years, the thought crossed my mind. In Poland, the shops will be closed for the first time ever on Christmas Eve right through to reopening on the 27th.

"...A very important aspect of properly observing the Sabbath concerns shopping on Sunday..."

That's an old 'Two Ronnies' sketch reference if anyone's wondering. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CmaLgxLDE0

My love and condolences goes out to all. I know some in that community are Holocaust descendants. I have no way to express things in mere words.
