She's a Labour front bencher who is famous for not being able to count.

Plus she likes to cry "wacist" any time she gets criticised justifiably.

Guys do you want to hear the joke, You know that Smollet guy who staged the hate crime?

Turns out he did it because he was unhappy with his salary, what is his salary you might ask?

Only $1.8 million per year...he makes 100k for every episode of Empire.

He is truly despicable, tries to manipulate the world and wring sympathy from everyone all because he can't manage on $2 million a year.

No doubt he would have written a book and all sorts had he not been caught out.

He embodies everything wrong with people in the social media age.

His story gets even better.

Apparently in 2007, he was arrested for DUI and gave police the name of his brother.

What a piece of shit. I don't normally care about celebrities' lives, but I'm glad his career is hopefully over. I've never watched Empire, but from what people who do watch the show have said, it shouldn't be hard to write his character out.

Incredible story.....and the people he arranged to carry out this racist attack were both black! I don’t think he’s the sharpest tool in the box!

Hats off to Dan Walker who met a Chap called Tony who has spent the last 75 years looking after a memorial to ten American airmen who were killed trying to land their plane whilst avoiding children. A fantastic BBC breakfast from the park this morning with a big fly past and party to mark the anniversary. Brought a few tears to my eyes.

Saw that. Real hero that pilot was.

The old fella met relatives of the air crew for the first time today as well.

What a peice of work that evil bastard from Bute is

I've rarely in my life heard of such a horrific crime. I've had the privilege of travelling all over Scotland including many of the Islands, and the communities there are peaceful and trusting. This will hurt them badly.

Peace to the family of the little girl of course and also to the innocent woman he tried to pin it on.

I'm generally against the death penalty, but when I see cases like this I can make an exception.

In fact, I'd pull the lever myself.

Anything on children should be death penalty

I don't support the death penalty in any case. It's a difficult position to defend at times but I don't support it ever.

Wouldn't have an issue if it's 100%, issue is you can never no, haven't really followed the case but apparently there is Syrian migrants in this place and sexual crime rate went up there when they moved, not say it's a conspiracy but nothing would surprise me tbh.

That was indeed a terrible, terrible crime....one I didn't really read much about as it just upsets me and makes me angry.

So back to one of the 'good news' stories that is rare to find.....I just saw this:
