Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

oh fred; you really are hilarious; you clearly missed your vocation to be on stage for music hall revival

"I have no interest in it." We already know that.

Come on now information please.. after all it will soon be the season of good will apparently.

Have to go out again and will be back about 5 'ish, so don't disappoint us now.

I have no information or wish for any. There types of things go on in all parties and are of no consequence.

Somebody is very touchy, to-day.

Have you lost your toys?

Ask, mum to give you a cuddle.

The Labour Party has just had its worst week ever. Worst week ever, that is, since last week. And worst week ever, probably, until next week.

Interesting article on Corbyn ...

Good Idea John ,just the time to scrap armed police and intelligence ...

SHADOW CHANCELLOR IN CALL TO DISBAND SECRET SERVICE AND DISARM POLICE
A Labour MP says the party is 'half an inch away from meltdown'

Labour’s Shadow Chancellor called for British intelligence service MI5 to be “disbanded” and the police to be “disarmed” earlier this year, The Sun can reveal.

In April John McDonnell signed a pre-election letter of hard-left demands that included a call to “disband MI5 and special police squads, disarm the police.”

Our revelation comes as Jeremy Corbyn challenged the Prime Minister about cuts to the police in the Commons, saying: “Policing plays a vital role in community cohesion, gathering intelligence on those who might be about to be a risk to all of us, but that is surely undermined if we cut the number of police officers by 5,000.”

The PM hit back: “Has it not come to something when the Leader of Her Majesty’s Opposition is not sure what the police’s reaction should be when they are confronted by a Kalashnikov-waving terrorist?”

mali hotel hostages freed
that little drama didn't last long
as far as i can determine, no hostages were killed in the storming - fred would still be making the tea and cucumber sandwiches to hand out to the jihadis! - as have only seen a report that 3 people were killed and 2 of the storm-troops
therefore assume the "3 killed" must have been jihadis

18 hostages killed

It says 18 bodies recovered , one a Belgian official , now up to 27 bodies as I write .

thanks for that ..... updates will follow thick and fast

Terrorists still holed up.

fred will say, "surely tea and cucumber sandwiches and a quiet chat would have been just as effective and cost no lives"

Did you hear Andrew Neil's go at ISIS the other night , it's brilliant I'm sure someone can put it on here .

Yes i saw that it was good ..

Here it is VICTIM ....
====================

Welcome to This Week. The week in which a bunch of loser jihadists slaughtered 132 innocents in Paris to prove the future belongs to them rather than a civilisation like France.

Well I can't say I fancy their chances. France, the country of Descartes, Boulet, Monet, Sartre, Rousseau, Camus, Renoir, Berlioz, Cézanne, Gauguin, Hugo, Voltaire, Matisse, Debussy, Ravel,Saint-Saëns, Bizet, Satie, Pasteur, Molière, Frank, Zola, Balzac, Blanc.

Cutting edge science, world class medicine, fearsome security forces, nuclear power, Coco Chanel, Chateau Lafite, Coq Au Vin, Daft Punk, Zizou Zidane, Juliette Binoche, liberté, égalité, fraternité, and crème brûlée.

Versus what? Beheadings, crucifixions, amputations, slavery, mass murder, medieval squalor, a death cult barbarity that would shame the Middle Ages.

Well IS or Daesh or ISIS or ISIL or whatever name you're going by - I'm sticking with IS, as in Islamist scumbags - I think the outcome is pretty clear to everybody but you.

Whatever atrocities you're currently capable of committing, you will lose.

In 1,000 years' time Paris, that glorious city of lights, will still be shining bright, as will every other city like it.

While you will be as dust, along with the ragbag of Fascists, Nazis and Stalinists who have previously dared to challenge democracy and failed.
