  1. With age verification ?
  2. The joys of the English language ; "'Queen Camilla visits King Charles in hospital after prostate treatment", nice to see she is looking after herself but I wonder what he is in for.
  3. Obviously "tapped up".
  4. Don't forget the Canada deal is all about cheese.
  5. The problem is that he will need to be "Tory light" to get elected, as with Blair. Traditional Labour policies won't sway enough swing voters, or garner the necessary support from media outlets.
  6. Today's evidence was from a PO investigator in Northern Ireland, concentrating on one specific SPM's prosecution. The SPM had had several days where the system would not balance at end-of-day, and she had reported it, to no avail. Eventually she was hauled in and interrogated about certain of the days when these discrepencies had arisen. She had no explanation other trhan Horizon was at fault, and was told she was liable and would be taken to Court. Taking a second look through the dates presented to her, she realised that luckily on one of these days she had in fact not done the end-of-day accounts, as she had taken one of her children to hospital, and in her stead the District Manager had deputised for her, and it was he that had been unable to balance the system. This effectively showed she was not at fault, but this detail was omitted from the evidence file handed over to the PSNI, and she was taken to Court. In Court the SPM managed to get the redacted evidence heard, and she was exonerated by the jury, with the Judge saying the Post Office's investigation and prosecution was a "sham". The result of this case, I think in 2006, and it's effective judgement on Horizon, was clearly known to the PO senior management, but ignored as investigations and prosecutions continued.

  8. Only if it was justified, same as I would criticise a Labour Chancellor if he did the same as Hunt. Are you pointing the finger of blame at Starmer for the Horizon prosecutions ? If a politician, of any persuasion, is caught out lying, cheating, or fabricating truths they should be called out.
  9. The compensation payments should not have legal costs deducted, that aspect should be covered by the personal finances of the people who are culpable. To start with they can pay back their performance related bonuses.
  10. Sombre music on every radio channel and news readers in dark suits and black ties. Will the 2 Cathedrals open books of condolence ?
  11. Jeremy Hunt claiming credit for the fall in inflation, which is almost entirely due to a fall in the price of petrol and diesel.
  12. Increasing numbers of Hispanic migrants are flying to Canada and entering the US from there. How long before there are calls for another wall ?
  13. I thought Rwanda was a safe country.
  14. It amuses me how the American left get portrayed as "communists'.
  15. You would think that as they pay their $3.15 for a gallon of petrol that something would register in their perception to recognise they hadn't actually paid $5.
  16. According to a number of YouTube interviews he has crashed the economy, ( not true), unemployment is at a record high, ( not true. ), and the price of gasoline is at an astronomical $5 per gallon, ( it is actually a bit over $3 per gallon in most states ). Above all else - hE sToLe ThE eLeCtIoN.
  17. I think, however, that we can all be grateful that the proposal from Alexander Hamilton and James Maddison, that Presidents be elected for life, was not adopted by the Founding Fathers of the Republic.

  19. I thought this was a new thread about people who voted Remain.
