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.

what is the connection between lynching and an elderly man defending his wife and home against armed burglars? .... who happend to have much previous as it happens

Fred will be campaigning for a burglars union next :0)

The course of law.

-=-==-

in this instance, the law will almost certainly side with the householder ..... but DYOR as you like tell everyone else

He has been released with no charge ,i'm so glad he didn't have months of stress waiting to see if he was in the clear .

The law is clearly wrong, I know this to be a fact, Fred said so.

Lawyers for us will make a case.

You started a petition to get him re arrested yet Fred ?

How do you manage to be so out of synch with the rest of the population of this country 100% of the time Fred ?

Dil.

Out of "synch" with some of the population who seem to have similarities with Donald Trumps redneck supporters.

Seems like gang behaviour pattern to me.

Fred just surely spends his time trying to wind you all up ,his last few offering confirm that ,he should be ignored from now on.

bet fred doesn't come anywhere near apologising for getting his lynch mob nonsense totally wrong ...... why would anyone think otherwise?

New party gets £50m backing to ‘break mould’ of UK politics


Plans secretly made by donors since 2016 for a new political party drawing from both left and right

A new political party with access to up to £50m in funding has been secretly under development for more than a year by a network of entrepreneurs, philanthropists and donors keen to “break the Westminster mould”, the Observer can reveal.

The movement, spearheaded by a former Labour benefactor, is understood to have been drawn up by a group frustrated by the tribal nature of politics, the polarisation caused by Brexit and the standard of political leadership on all sides. It appears to have a centrist policy platform that borrows ideas from both left and right.



Senior figures from the worlds of business and charity are understood to be involved, as well as former supporters of the main parties, including a number of former Tory donors.

Sources say the project, led by the multi-millionaire philanthropist and founder of LoveFilm, Simon Franks, has had full-time staff members for as long as a year. Initial discussions are said to have begun at the end of 2016. Franks has set up a company, Project One Movement for the UK, which is likely to be the vehicle for the enterprise.

Are they buying out the Liberal party?

They wouldnt need £50b for that Fred: 50p more like.

Project One Movement sounds like a front for the €U.

Yeah that was my first thought too.

Never mind , they're at least two years too late for that.

Dil,

Are you sure?


You remind me of this cartoon.

No comment Fred on the Nu Macron party?

I await enlightenment from you, Dil and Manuel.

When you shine it will ease my path.

But I often wonder the real goals of various "political" leaders, adherents and hangers-on of your ilk are.

I don't suppose you really know yourselves.

corbyn asks with considerable justification why there has been no condemnation of the isareli go'vt's murderous response to the palestinian (extreme) provocation in gaza

though there is no doubt that the palestinians were pushing and pushing against known boundaries in the full knowledge and intent that there would ultimately be an extreme response, as far as i can determine, there was no reason why israeli troops should have reacted with live ammunition to kill rather than merely to deter and disperse

water cannon, tear gas and even rubber bullets are all nasty in their own ways, but still fall way short of shooting to kill

whether or not these "non lethal" deterrents would have had the desired effect is open to question, but nevertheless .....

Almost as bad as poisoning or allowing people to die of starvation.

Strange old world.

Civilisation at its best!
