    Mary Poppins, the classic film starring Julie Andrews, has had its age rating raised by British film censors because it features "discriminatory language". The 1964 film has been reclassified from a U, which stands for universal, to a PG, for parental guidance. In it, a derogatory term originally used by white Europeans about nomadic peoples in southern Africa is used to refer to soot-faced chimney-sweeps. That now "exceeds our guidelines" for U films, the BBFC said. The film is set in London in 1910 and follows a magical nanny, played by Dame Julie, who looks after a family's children with...

    (Allegedly)Written by an NYPD Officer on the front lines tonight. The world needs to know. Almost 32 years with NYPD, I have never felt such disgust, hopelessness, and anger. Manhattan was occupied territory tonight, we were totally outnumbered by miscreants. They were brazen, laughing and rampant. It was so prevalent there was nothing a police officer could do according to the rules and expectations of the Democrat Party.
