  1. See 'Scottish' Labour unveiled a new logo the other day... ‘I want to make Scottish Labour fit for the 17th Century’, said wee Anas at the launch.
  2. John Stahl, 69, actor, most famously as Inverdarroch in Take The High Road.
  3. RT will no longer have a platform in the UK, but not through any action of this delinquent Westminster government! 'Culture Secy.' Nadine Dorries tried to spin it, but it was the EU that took the decision to switch off the French satellite which broadcasted RT in both the EU and UK. Sovrinty!
  4. Great idea to wear the Yellow & Blue scarfs. ?? We obviously can't go to Ukraine to help but we can do our bit where we can AND show support for their horrendous plight. The colours are everywhere. They were all over parliament today at PMQ's and the Ukraine ambassador got a warm welcome from all in attendance, wonder if he felt patronised in any way? You'd hope that the phrase "virtue signalling" might be excised from public discourse forever. But the desperate attempts by the particularly nasty corners of the internet to portray decency and compassion as somehow a negative is pretty damn shameful.
  5. SoundCloud ... Bandcamp ... you might even get 'discovered'! ?️?
  6. Unsurprising this hasn't been answered, by anyone. How could anyone defend a woman who's latest misdemeanour is to help out her son to the tune of £12million of her/our money to get him off the hook... a friend of a convicted peadophile and head of a grooming gang for the super-rich. I think that's called perverting the course of justice. A huge sum paid out to silence this gross allegation, and all so the jubilee party later in the year can go ahead unstained and everyone can wave their wee flags on the Mall and their streets with a clear conscience. Corrupt from the very top, but doff cap tug forelock!
  7. 55% of voting Scots were content with being ruled by this rotten system, sad but true!
  8. A postcard from the London correspondent of the Papua New Guinea Courier, no less... "Letter from London from Our Own Correspondent Back to Blighty where Boris Johnson, money launderer to the Tsars, clings to his position as Rishi Sunak’s house-sitter. The natives are as oblivious to the never-ending decline of this erstwhile superpower as they were when they first watched Zulu. But since Partygate, it has begun to dawn that electing a rococo gigolo to guide them through a pandemic, imminent world war, economic crisis and environmental systems collapse, was not the smart move the metric-averse once thought it to be. Some of Johnson’s henchmen are buckling too. When 8-bit shaman Dominic Cummings invoked the sacrament of moral conscience, several MPs who hitherto had been labouring to disenfranchise refugees, disability claimants and the working poor, suddenly felt unable to follow a nonce-bantering PM and began the brutal defenestration rite of licking Basildon Bond envelopes and giving them to Graham Brady. Only the hardcore remain: those for whom employment in another Cabinet would be inconceivable, the likes of Nadine, Grant/Michael, and Jacob, counsellors to a man who has never known friendship, a gang of acolytes so sycophantic as to make Mugabe blush. These bunker girls and boys speak only in platitudes, severing words from meanings and reciting cliched phrases in the hope that nobody will notice how stupid they are. In such a climate ‘vaccine rollout’ becomes ‘your living costs are going through the roof’, ‘levelling up’ means ‘we partied while you watched your mum die on Zoom’ and ‘sorry’ translates as ‘f**k you’. The great classicist needs them. But they may prove to be his Achilles elbow. Downing Street, where near-hourly resignations are spun as decisive leadership, is giving off strong Downfall energy. It seems increasingly likely that unless they can lure him out with a crate of Estrella, Boris Munchhausen will be supergluing himself to the Lulu Lytle wallpaper before anyone is found with the special skills needed to convince him to go quietly. That’s OK though. Rishi can afford to redecorate."
  9. Putin could take a leaf out of the IOC playbook and deny all responsibility for invading Ukraine... "It wasn't me, it was the Rossiya Military Committee"
  10. Disappointing as she said it wasn't about the money but holding people to account. But then if you have enough 'blood money', rich people can force settlements on poorer people because it's just too hard to fight them, even for something he denies doing.

    Brexit

    What does that actually mean to businesses that were trading goods freely across the EU with no barriers? To people who could move freely between 28 countries? The internet means we can buy and sell goods all over the world, and being part of the EU meant there were no import duties and other charges incurred. Now? GB bureaucracy means major hold ups at ports, mountains of paperwork and costs have soared. Consumers now face UK VAT at the border, as well as customs import duties and courier admin charges. it's certainly benefitted EU countries as British businesses set up warehouses in the EU to avoid it all!
  12. Isn't it funny how often words come back to bite...? "When a regime has been in power too long, when it has fatally exhausted the patience of the people, and when oblivion finally beckons – I am afraid that across the world you can rely on the leaders of that regime to act solely in the interests of self-preservation, and not in the interests of the electorate." ? Yes Prime Minister!
  13. Heard that No. 10 had a quiz night with champagne & caviar last night. Cressida Dick was the quiz master and questions were mostly based on the questionnaire they have all received. At the end of the quiz, papers were handed to the person next to them for marking and a jolly time was had by all. Chin chin! ?
  14. I've often thought the people at the very top of society and people at the very bottom, behave pretty similarly to each other, but some end up in palaces and some end up on Jeremy Kyle. If you look at their marital records and the dalliances, infidelities and misdemeanours of the very posh, whether it's the royals or others, and then watch Shameless, all that's different is the accents, the houses and the clothes, their behaviour is identical! The famous line goes something like, Charles wondered why he should be the first Prince Of Wales not to have a mistress? Her Maj knows full well about the dysfunctional family she has and keeps shtum! A remarkable servant to The Family. Long live Queen Camilla, lawl! ?
  15. Yes, misinformation. However you try and dress it up, the WHO are saying clearly, "Masks are a key measure to reduce transmission and save lives", and nothing else. You also dress up your scepticism as some kind of "sceptical review of medical information" when it's all you post here. I think If you were in my practice, I'd be looking at moving pronto.

    Brexit

    But there was no "EU red tape" or "GB blue tape" before Brexit, funny that. I was assuming this was what people voted for as it was such an obvious outcome.

    Brexit

    Finally found a benefit of Brexit, for one person. It's created a job for muling Jacob cause he can't be trusted with a real job!
  18. That's not true though is it? Still find it strange that someone from a supposed medical background can be so open to scepticism and misinformation, and spread it so freely.

    Brexit

    Johnson - "It's crazy to have checks on goods that are basically circulating within the single market of the United Kingdom" I wonder what fecking idiot signed up to that & called it a "fantastic deal"? The English nat extremists behind Brexit are deliberately and wilfully jeopardising the GFA, content to sacrifice the safety and wellbeing of the 1.9m people who call NI home.
  20. Ser Starmer doesn't have the power to do anything. Labour have been nearly 12 years in opposition and are nowhere near electable! All they can do is watch and hope the Tories eat themselves. The leader of the Opposition's failure to land anything remotely resembling a glove on the current PM is objectively incredible.
  21. Anyone remember when the report into the Daniel Morgan murder described the Met as "institutionally corrupt"? And now the head of the police force is 'investigating' the head of our government, for breaking rules imposed by said government. What is it they say about things rotting from the head down?
  22. This report is turning very grey and will be redacted so much, it'll just be the instructions for the wine fridge and a recipe for a victoria sponge. The parties were in breach of the rules that were written in the rooms where the parties were held, and there's zero accountability. What a farce!
  23. I wonder if what could finally bring down Bozo was a 'smoking gun' photo of him blowing out the candles on a Colin the Caterpillar cake...??
  24. Aye, but some folk, so called "socialists" as well, are content to put up with Tory governments for most of their lives, doff cap tug forelock, rather than question whether the road we are on is the right one and have the courage to take a different direction. Shame!
  25. "We have to wait for the Met Police's investigation" is the new "We have to wait for Sue Gray's inquiry". This isn't a government serving the people. It just exists to serve themselves and appears beholden to another entity entirely. Make your own mind up...
