    “It is with extreme heartache, that I have to announce the passing of an original industry pioneer, legend and icon: Miss Carol Channing,

    “I admired her before I met her, and have loved her since the day she stepped … or fell rather … into my life. It is so very hard to see the final curtain lower on a woman who has been a daily part of my life for more than a third of it. We supported each other, cried with each other, argued with each other, but always ended up laughing with each other.”

    Boll added, “Saying good-bye is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, but I know that when I feel those uncontrollable urges to laugh at everything and/or nothing at all, it will be because she is with me, tickling my funny bone.”

    Unsurprisingly bad smells and poor personal hygiene were big factors, with one user saying “Smell. A man has to smell clean. If he smells bad, he’s out. That might be smokers breath, or cheesy foreskin, or body odour, or whatever. If I smell him before we hook up and he stinks, he’s not even getting into the bedroom”

    Another added, “Stinky foreskin is the absolute worst thing in the world.”

    However not everybody has an issue with smell, one user said, “I’m the opposite: he has to smell. I don’t like perfumed soaped clean freaks.”

    Milo Yiannopoulos is seeking refuge in the USA, calling the UK “Islamized Britain”, despite less than 6 percent of the UK’s population actually being Muslim. He also referred to European Islamification a “cancer” that has “metastasized”.

    He also wrote that despite being eligible for a green card, because he married a US citizen, he is seeking asylum – so that he never has to return to a country where there are “so many citizens eager to see me imprisoned or dead.”

    Becoming a target

    He says that he fears that he could become a target as “surely no one is at greater risk of random attacks in the street than a famous gay conservative writer known for his uncompromising defenses of Western civilization and his critiques of oppressive, sexist religious customs like the burka”.

    He pointed out that a poll for Channel 4 found that half of all British Muslims think homosexuality should be illegal, and a quarter of them want sharia law instituted in the UK and a poll of 500 Muslims found that there was zero tolerance for homosexuality in a poll conducted a decade ago.

    Milo Yiannopoulos who controversially said that he chose to be gay confirmed to THEGAYUK.com in 2018 when it comes to the nature vs. nurture debate surrounding homosexuality, said, “I thought the only people who believe in 100% nurture are the poor fools who think a man can suddenly decide he is a woman”.

    Milo says he’s consulted an immigration lawyer, who thinks that his plight is “worth a try”.

    Two men sought after the sexual assault of a man in central London

    Detectives looking to identify two people in connection to an investigation into a sexual assault on a man in his 20s in Central London.

    The Met police have released images of two men they wish to speak to and identify in connection with an investigation of a sexual assault on a man in central London.

    The incident happened at around 2.45am on Wednesday, 24 October 2018 in Flitcroft Street, Camden, just a block away from G-A-Y Late and the famous gay centre of Old Compton Street.

    Police say, the victim, a man in his 20s, was sexually assaulted by two men who then left the location on foot.

    The victim’s friend, who did not witness the assault but who had been with him shortly before, came to his aid and police were called.

    Detective Constable Robin East said, “This was a sexual assault on a man in a public street and we appeal for anyone who thinks they can help us with the investigation to come forward.

    “Although this happened in the early hours, there would still have been a number of people around the area who may have seen the victim or suspects before or after the assault.

    “We are interested in speaking to the two men in these images, so if you recognise them, please don’t delay in calling police.

    “The victim in this case continues to receive support from specially trained officers.

    “We have not had any further reports of similar assaults and this is being treated as an isolated incident.”

    Both suspects were described by the victim as white, and of Eastern European origin. One man was thought to be between 35 to 40 years old, short (around 5ft5ins tall) and of stocky build. He was wearing a dark puffer jacket and had big ears.

    The other man was believed to be slightly younger, between 30 and 35 years of age, of skinny build, clean shaven and had light brown hair. He was wearing a blue Superdry jacket and thought to be around 5ft8ins tall.

    Anyone with information about this assault or who recognises the men in the CCTV images is asked to contact CN Safeguarding on 101 quoting 2330062/18, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Viewers have been threatening to switch off after the “Mr Nasty” of ice skating could only raise criticism of the show’s newly trained hopefuls, which this year includes Saara Aalto and Brian McFadden.

    Fans of the show noticed that while Torvill and Dean could score the celebs quite highly, it was rare for Jason to go above a 4.5 out of ten, despite him not being a professional ice skater.

    On tonight’s show, viewers and fans ranted how “slimy” and “bitchy” Jason was coming off.

    Many viewers also spoke about their dislike of the Aussie-born choreographer, singer and theatre producer.

    Some even called on the producers of the show to take action against him. With one calling his interactions with the cast as “obnoxious rudeness” and finished by saying that it was not acceptable ”
