Comb key:   One comb : Choirboy neat Two combs : Signs of disrepair Three combs : Bedraggled Four combs : Fingers-in-the- socket job Five combs : Worzel Gummidge Good god, had he been fighting with Dilyn the dog? That was my immediate thought when Boris Johnson appeared via video message this week to pay tribute to Team GB athletes. Those blond locks were in such a bedraggled state, one would have been forgiven for thinking he'd just rolled out of bed after a night out on the razzle.  What is it about the Prime Minister and that extraordinary thatch? Almost without exception, he is incapable of appearing in public without looking as if he has just pressed his tongue against a 9V battery. There is no denying it makes him distinctive. Churchill had his cigar. Thatcher her handbag. Boris his Barnet Fair (as the Cockneys say). But could it be that there is a little more to it than that?  For, as we see below, the PM's hair also has a funny knack of reflecting the political climate

This is the moment Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was filmed putting her face mask on for a group photograph - only to whip it off a minute later during a rally on the steps of the U.S. Capitol. The video footage shows Ocasio-Cortez sitting among a group of activists fighting for an extension of the eviction moratorium without a mask on Monday. An event organizer can then be heard telling everyone to come together on the steps of the Capitol Building before Ocasio-Cortez can be seen quickly putting a light blue face mask on.  A minute later, in the footage captured by Breitbart News, the Democrat can be seen speaking to activists without her mask. Ocasio-Cortez was also joined by Democrat senator Ed Markey in putting a face mask on the group photo, despite the pair going unmasked for the rest of the rally.

Donald Trump criticized the 'Leftist Maniacs' in the U.S. women's soccer team and said they would have won gold at the Tokyo Olympics if they weren't so 'woke' in a statement on Thursday morning Donald Trump criticized the 'Leftist Maniacs' in the U.S. women's soccer team and said they would have won gold at the Tokyo Olympics if they weren't so 'woke' in a statement on Thursday morning. The former president also called team captain Megan Rapinoe the 'woman with the purple hair' and said she played 'terribly' after they finished with the bronze medal following a victory over Australia. 'If our soccer team, headed by a radical group of Leftist Maniacs, wasn’t woke, they would have won the Gold Medal instead of the Bronze,' Trump said in the statement released through his Save America 45 PAC. 'Woke means you lose, everything that is woke goes bad, and our soccer team certainly has.  'There were, however, a fe

A Chicago cop has been charged with felony battery with a firearm and official misconduct more than a year after she shot an unarmed man in the back.  Melvina Bogard, 32, turned herself in to investigators on Thursday morning to face charges over the shooting of 33-year-old Ariel Roman, whom she injured in February 2020 as he fled from arrest for walking between train cars on the CTA red line.  She was released upon an order from Cook County Judge Susana Ortiz after she made a written promise to appear in court, according to a news release from The Cook County State's Attorney Office.

An international puppy smuggling ring has been jailed for a total of 18 years for selling animals online that had been so badly treated they died before they new owners got them home.    The gang of smugglers, many of them from the Irish Cawley traveller family, made more than £300,000 in a sophisticated fraud designed to dupe innocent dog owner's out of their hard-earned cash. Sentencing the 13 defendants today, Judge Francis Sheridan said: 'You have all played your part in this disgusting trade and you preyed upon the kindness of British citizens.' The gang would smuggle several dogs into the UK from southern Ireland a day.   The gang of smugglers, many of them from the Irish Cawley traveller family, made more than £300,000 in a sophisticated fraud designed to dupe innocent dog owner's out of their hard-earned cash The gang would smuggle several dogs into the UK from southern Ireland a day Earlier, prosecutor Hazel Stevens revealed that excited new owners were horrifi

The ruling by Judge Gillian Matthews QC appears to run directly against open justice rules established eight years ago that say no adult should be handed a prison sentence in the family courts without being publicly named A father of three was sentenced to prison at a hearing described by campaigners as a return to secrecy in the family courts. The 15-month suspended sentence was delivered anonymously despite firm rules to judges they should never give prison or suspended terms without naming the individual. The ruling came after the man repeatedly defied a judge's order to stop trying to make contact with his sons. Open justice campaigners criticised the decision and yesterday senior judges launched an inquiry into the suppression of the father's name.

Allan Goodson, a Utah mechanic who converted to Islam, sued his former employer for religious discrimination A mechanic who converted to Islam is suing his former employer claiming he was relentlessly mocked by his coworkers, who referred to him and other people who practiced the religion as 'sand n*****s', and said he will 'marry a five-year-old girl' and 'start blowing up innocent people'.    Allan Goodson also claimed Bradshaw Chevrolet Company in Cedar City, Utah, denied him short prayer breaks and fired him twice within days of filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission , according to a federal lawsuit.  'When Goodson was terminated the second time, (Service Director Richard) Batt, who was in the room, mocked Goodson by waving his middle finger at him and winking at him,' the lawsuit alleges.   The legal action was filed on Monday by the Washington DC-based Council on American-Islamic Relations on behalf of Goodson.   Bradsh

Britain's climate tsar was accused of hypocrisy last night for flying to at least 30 countries – and not isolating afterwards. Alok Sharma has travelled tens of thousands of miles over the past seven months to prepare the ground for the COP26 global environment summit this autumn. But despite visiting at least six countries on the travel ‘red list’, he has been given a ministerial exemption from hotel quarantine each time. He has also been able to avoid having to isolate at home following ‘amber list’ trips. Ordinary travellers face fines of up to £10,000 for breaking travel quarantine rules. Days after returning from red-list Bangladesh, the Cabinet minister met Prince Charles indoors without a mask – then visited a primary school.
