The Piccaninnies thing is clearly being sarcastic about people whose skin is a different colour to my white caucasian skin. The tank-topped bum boys one is clearly intended to be pejorative to the LGBTQ+ community - particularly male homosexuals. Both were used, as I am sure you are aware, by...

That's exactly my position. I would not have been sure about voting for a Corbyn led Labour, more because of the individuals involved than the policies, but I didn't have to make the decision because my vote was tactical anti-Conservative Lib-Dem. I would not dismiss all Tories out of hand...

Oh dear, How very sad, never mind. My heart bleeds........

Starmer has a record of making a good job of things he has done in the past - Director of Public Prosecautions, for example.

Totally agree…… but you’ll be dismissed as a member of the anti-growth coalition!

How about racist AND homophobic,

while on the one hand one has to be concerned about her mental health, there is always the notion that “if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen”. We are a country in crisis, internationally humiliated, because of her and her Chancellor. and all James Cleverly can say is Mistakes do...

Precisely because of her life experiences and so on, she’s worth 10 Rees-Moggs or Coffeys. She would not have been so stupid as Truss has over the last few weeks.

I think I probably realised that :thumbsup: but where did he do it. Bosham? Southampton would lay claim to it as well.

Arbeit macht frei? She reckons she is going to lead them in to the next election? Johnson was going on about being PM for 10 years about 20 days before he was ditched. At least with Mordaunt and Hunt now we’ve got a couple of people akin to grown ups in the room. I was going to say “in...

Totally agree. But I also think that Truss has brought it on herself with her unspeakable arrogance, seeming self-assurance and total dismissal of everyone who went against her, whether in the leadership campaign or since. Everything that Sunak said in the contest about caution was rubbished...

But Canute was very wise because he was doing it to show his courtiers that he couldn’t when they thought he could….. allegedly.

In a normal world, surely this would be a resigning matter. Just read about it. Stupid, irresponsible, illegal… and she’s Health Secretary! If I were Jeremy Hunt…. Sorry, Liz Truss, I’d be asking for her resignation.

Pity it’s recorded on Thursdays…..

After 10 years between 65 and 100k? Yes - if they’re any good. Plenty won’t. And as pointed out elsewhere, they are self-employed and so don’t get any of the perks, like holiday pay. And it’s bl@@dy hard work. My brother-in-law is a solicitor working for the CPS, but he has representation...

This exactly. Made my skin crawl….

K Firstly, I wasn’t getting at you!:thumbsup: And secondly, I broadly agree:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Fair enough, but from that Reuters article, it’s by no means of the same magnitude. I’ve seen figures of between £40k and £59k of how much the richest will benefit per year from Kwarteng’s tax cuts. This article quotes €790 per year - not quite the same! The combined effect of the measures was...

Do we take it from this that you would rather a neo-fascist right-wing Tory win the next election than a relatively moderate left of centre Labour Party which would be far more likely to address things like the cost of living crisis, child poverty, excessive profits of the energy companies, the...

Is Macron trying to silence the national Broadcasting set-up? Rubbish experts? Silence Critics? Crack drown in a draconian way on protests? Deliberately giving loadsamoney in tax cuts to those who need it least? Threatening to Crack down on those on benefits to make them seek to work longer...
