I honestly believe I'm the only person in the UK with a balanced and thoughtful outlook

Can't argue with this.

Oh, that made me laugh more than it should, hope you're well

For some reason, every time I've clicked on blondepoker for the last couple of years it's gone straight the post. No idea why!

:-) yes doing a lot better than I was now, thanks Nirv

Keir Starmer is the world's best after-timer. He always knows what you should have done.

Haha, very good.

Fair play, though. He took it well, and didn't have a tantrum like some probably would have.

[nirvana]

Haha, all he could do to stop himself doing a proper laugh. Its so well done, makes me laugh every time

[Marky147]

Always good seeing him mugged off, all the same

Was pondering this morning on the nature of politics today. Seems to me that all the noise and fuss that dominates political discussion is very far from the issues that really ought to be the top of the agenda. Must suit the Tories spectacularly that Labour and Lib Dems seem to focus on issues that are massively outside the direct control of the UK to solve, e.g Climate change, Covid.

And then elevate an absolute non issue affecting a very small number of people with mental health issues - ie transgender rights that most people couldn't give a toss about. Be a man, be a woman, be a cissy be whatever you want, just don't cry like a baby if a female with a child tells you, a fkn 6 footer with a beard and a swinger, to fk off out of the changing rooms.

This focus detracts from the focus on poverty, social care, waiting lists, GPs dereliction of duty, and a number of other things.

Just stop banging on about things that most reasonable minded people know is, to a very large extent, out of the hands of the Government or irrelevant to most people. They can never win with this kind of line, or not for another 20 years or so.

Pie is always good for a chuckle.

Blair and Brown 5 part series up on iplayer recently is fascinating viewing if you are remotely interested in politics, modern history.

[RED-DOG]

I'm on it.

[RED-DOG]

I'm not on the show you understand, when I say I'm on it I mean I'm on it like cool people say, you know like, "OK Chief, I'm on it".

[RED-DOG]

Glad we cleared that up.

[nirvana]

Good to know Boss

Looks like there are going to be more Tories standing for Leader than there is MPs at this rate. Rather than announcing who is putting there hat in the ring it might be easier to let us know who isn't standing.


Anywhere listing the candidates who are standing and openly called for Boris to go at last months no confidence motions loos like they were all backing Boris till last week
