I almost feel sorry for them. Not much of a choice and either one, hopefully, would ensure that the Tory Party remain sidelined for years to come. The fight with Farage to see who can win the most unpleasant party leader will probably be more interning than her fight with Starmer. Now that Sunak has departed perhaps Starmer will stop referring to the Leader of the Opposition as “Prime Minister” at PMQ’s? Apparently she beat Jenrick by more than 10,000 votes which only goes to show how unpopular amongst the membership he is!

At what point are soft arses like you going to realise that man’s over use of fossil fuels is accelerating the speed at which our climate is changing? 🤡🤡🤡

The river was diverted away from the city after the flood in 1957. 🤡🤡🤡

Trump’s supporters laughed at these comments yet we are supposed to get upset about them being called “garbage.” Perhaps scumbags is more appropriate? https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/trump-says-liz-cheney-should-have-guns-trained-on-her-face-lets-see-how-/amp_articleshow/114849787.cms

We were in Valencia at this time seven years ago. It was a beautiful city. Not so much today. For those who still think that this is just “weather,” maybe think again? At what point will the penny finally drop? Earlier this week the BBC broadcast interviews with several people complaining that their view was going to be spoiled by new electric pylons that are required to bring us more renewable energy. It is the cheapest and most effective way to move this energy around but it will spoil a view or be an eyesore at the bottom of a garden. https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/mediterranean-sea-temperature-highest-ever-b2381942.html

Which is precisely the problem.

Biden makes an ill advised comment about an abhorrent comment previously made and it is a big deal. Trump constantly makes ill advised comments (grabbing women by the pussy, the size of Arnold Palmer’s manhood, migrants are cockroaches etc etc) and yet this is an issue for Harris and not for Trump? Vance has made many advised comments but those aren’t an issue for Trump. The issue for Harris is that her campaign and suitability for the role as the next POTUS seems to be held to a higher standard than the other candidate. If this vote hangs on this quote from Biden, the whole world needs to be worried, not just Kamala Harris

I was thinking the same myself last night. Said to Mrs SOG that the local ale house will be swamped with extra customers now that a pint of Moretti is down to only £6.99. Duckie and chums will be happy. 🥳

I wonder if he was referring to “supporters” as those they wheel out on the platforms like the “comedian” who made the original garbage comment? Not all those who did or will vote for Trump necessarily support him. If that is the case he needs to make it clearer. Update - that was his point and he has clarified it. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdd09e4nl30o.amp

Ah, the good old days of the Empire eh? I am sorry to break your illusion but things changed a great deal last century, the balances of power changed enormously and without America things would be very different now. As for “free stuff” the Welfare State is not to blame for our not being a major power now. Frankly I am happy that we choose to look after people more than we chose to spend a fortune on becoming like the current super powers. We treat our citizens far better than the Americans, Russians and Chinese do.

They seem oblivious to the fact that we are in this mess because of 14 years of their mismanagement.

If it is as easy as Honest Bob makes out, why did his own Party make such a pig’s ear of it? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8dmq88j6rro.amp

A lucky shot? That was a cracking strike from Bree.

“Counter terrorism police have not declared it as a terrorist incident.” You might be getting ahead of yourself. Again. Perhaps he is a proper terrorist. Perhaps he is a psycho fantasist. We shall find out in due course. It doesn’t excuse what happened on the streets afterwards.

Would you honestly be happy for the USA to return to the days of “splendid isolation?” That worked well for us 🙄

The USA out of the way suits Putin big time. How would you feel about Europe going it alone in NATO too?

No doubt there will a few holding a candlelit vigil for our hero tonight and Batman will be on soon complaining about a two tier legal system.

That wasn’t my point.

Anyone from here popping along? https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/donald-trump-tommy-robinson-far-right-politics-victoria-parliament-london-b1190313.html

I’m always up for a bit of hypocrisy if it involves making fun of conspiracy theorists like you. As for me being a fool, calling me one makes you a hypocrite, doesn’t it? In fact, I would go further. Anyone who thinks there is no difference between Biden/Harris and Trump is more than a fool. I would suggest that they have some serious cognitive impairment.

The person I berated was making a childish, pathetic comment over a deeply serious matter which had seen tens of thousands of people killed, maimed and displaced. You, on the other hand, are clearly easily fooled and gullible and are regularly mocked on here. You regularly call others names but get upset when you get some back. Frankly, from what I have read, you are fair game and if you want to spout your conspiracy theories here, fine, but you really need to grow a thicker skin. I made a very light hearted joke about reptilians. I am sure you have had a lot worse. 🐸
