  1. Single male in a dinghy in the Channel - shouldn't he now be on a plane to Rwanda ?
  2. Nadine Dorries posts a picture of Keir Starmer 'breaking lockdown rules' whilst sitting alongside Frank Dobson. Does he now have to power to resurrect the dead ?

    So, he is another Putin shill. Just for starters, I don't want to make things too difficult for you; At the end of WW2 Europe was split between the West, a number of independent and mostly democratic countries, and the East, a combination of a militarily suppressed 'empire' and it's occupied slave satellite states. Remember, many of these 'satellite' countries had themselves been self-governing democracies before the war. The West saw the East as the threat it was and formed a collective defensive pact that ensured their combined military strength deterred the expansionism of the East. Many of the peoples in the East wanted to restore their pre-war democratic status, but were held back by totalitarian Governments, backed up by extensive secret Police networks. However, by the 1980's the power of the totalitarian puppet regimes was fading, as was the enforced stability of the Soviet 'empire', and one by one the Warsaw Pact countries broke away from Russian dominance, and as the central power control systems weakened, many of the component SSRs began to develop self awareness, eventually causing the 'Union' to fracture, and creating a whole new group of newly independent nation states, trying to re-invent themselves with a western, democratic, societal structure. These newly independent countries knew that their old 'imperial' master was still very much present at their borders, and resentful of their rejection of it's warm embrace, so they followed their trend towards Westernisation by looking for stronger economic ties to help build their domestic development, the EU, and joined with NATO to gain the benefit of the mutually guaranteed defensive support it delivers. Russia, meanwhile, somehow ended up with a new leader who had grand ideas of restoring the former 'empire' to it's glory days, and forcing the World to show it renewed respect. And here we are...........

    What a complete cartload of codswallop that is. I'm not sure who he is, but he hasn't got the foggiest idea of how to draw a simile for the war in Ukraine.
  5. Cav unlikely to go to the Tour De France, going to the Giro instead. Looks like he won't get his stage wins record after all.

    "Russian troops in the occupied city of Melitopol have stolen all the equipment from a farm equipment dealership -- and shipped it to Chechnya, according to a Ukrainian businessman in the area. But after a journey of more than 700 miles, the thieves were unable to use any of the equipment -- because it had been locked remotely." https://edition.cnn.com/2022/05/01/europe/russia-farm-vehicles-ukraine-disabled-melitopol-intl/index.html
  7. At Uni in Wales I met and married a Lancashire Lass, ( 42 years later we stil live across the road from the house she grew up in ). Alternatively in was the pull of genetics, my father's family are originally from Kendal.
  8. Presenting the victor of a tournament as "Your Winner", the top 3 as "Your Podium", the participants as "Your Players", the official as "Your Referee". They are not "mine", when did "Your" replace "The" in the English language ?
  9. Unfortunately there are more than 10% of the country who are diehard Brexiteers who think Boris walks on water because he "Got It Done", so nobody would be able to acheive your estimation. What is interesting is that Starmer is polling around 50%:23% against Sunak as next PM.
  10. All the current national polls have Labour ahead by between 5% and 8%, and in London Labour are 50%:23%. Starmer is also polling ahead of BoJo as preferred PM.
  11. Starmer didn't introduce the rules then give the impression he had no idea what they were. Starmer isn't running the country, nor is he the face of the UK on the international stage.
  12. Boris said that nobody had told him he was at a party, despite having a cake with candles presented in front of him. If that is the level of awareness people are happy with in a Prime Minister who was responsible for introducing the CoViD rules and restrictions, and announcing them to the country, then they have the Government they deserve.
  13. Palace started the match below us in the table.
  14. How many of our coaches are ex GKs ?
  15. 39% possession at home, FFS !!! Palace 14 attempts, Saints 8 - Palace 5 on target, Saints 3. At home to Crystal Fucking Palace.
  16. Johnson has many of Churchill's attributes, including stubbornness in the face of all contradictory evidence, racism, and a refusal to admit mistakes or errors. WSC was no paragon, in fact if it weren't for WW2, ( during which he made several disastrous decisions ), and the ousting of Neville Chamberlain after the invasion of France in 1940, he may well have lived out his life as an outcast in the political wilderness.
  17. Boris goes to jail.. ( Sadly it's Becker ).
  18. So finally you are beginning to realise that all politicians are lying, conniving, self serving hypocrites.
  19. People who don't understand how to approach and cross a humpback bridge over a canal.
  20. People who go to gigs to see the support act, then leave when the headliners take the stage.
  21. You are talking about Jeremy Clarkson's, self proclaimed, ideal woman; a bi-sexual into guns and muscle cars.
  22. The Government has, for the fourth time, postponed new checks on imports from the EU. Unfortunately, the EU are already enacting extra checks on UK exports going the other way. Another Brexit benefit kicked down the road.
  23. When pictures and captions are manipulated ;
