It is happening again.....

Hopefully this time we can keep this space what it should be.

Fully retired but avoiding turning into Gammon, politically aware, socially variable and personally suspect. Riding the wave with Forest for another season :)
Nor me. Lovely writeup by the way - I remain certain that Bowie knew what was coming up and got out just in time....

God, I read that as rest easy Starmer....and my mind temporarily exploded....

After what Trump has just done in Venezuela, can somebody make sure Sadiq Khan is safe.....

Think so - small world, eh?

That would be the one - 78 to 81 :)

I was at University with him....to be fair, he was probably burning books then too....

Maybe she means the Presidents hands are constantly shaking...?

From now on, this will be my mantra to life....

"Dogs!

Put down the Queen’s tail!

Antique, real jump,

Ridiculous.

Join their laughter.

The brothers are legal now. "

Why is it that when you get new food shopping in, you want to eat everything there and then - and in 2 days time, you are looking and thinking WTF did I get THAT for....?

Well he was right in a way...if the East Wing isn't there anymore it will indeed be "near but not touching"....

Endlessly envious of you (and Mrs Turtle) and your travels. A true epic - and a fantastic description of the journey. Well done, and I hope there will be more trips to come

Can somebody please invent a Farage Filter that applies to all radio, TV, and social media? Anything so I dont have to see or hear that racist twat ever again.

Hes right on one thing - I do feel like a stranger in my own country....but only for as long as he is still breathing.....

Still think they should do as Sultana says and have a name that "does what it says on the tin" My preferences "EattheRich" or "FucktheBillionaires".....

The shift from nationalisation to privatisation would be the key shift for me, but I take your point. Thatcher didn't appear without context, but in her case the cure was certainly worse than the disease
July 31, 2025 at 8:51 AM
Suggestions for the new Corbyn/Sultana left party - "FucktheBillionaires" or ""EattheRich".....

Interesting question. If the causal route is "right" -> A -> B -> C -> "wrong" then Thatcherism effectively upended the post-War consensus, which was generally more effective in reducing poverty, building infrastructure and improving health/welfare than any time since, so wins my vote as the start

So this woman who came into the UK on a PLANE....should she have been challenged for speaking English when she was in whatever country she travelled from??
