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.

Max.

One down another to go.

But May is already in self-destruct mode for the tory party and doing a very good job of taking the UK with them.

I think NK and SK in spite of Trump are moving "slowly" in the right direction, and the South would now be happy to see the back of the USA.

Both NK and SK will benefit from "agreements".

In spite of... Obama, Clinton, and the Dynamic Duo.

"Louis Arthur Charles"

So there you go. That's quite nice for one, isn't it?

LAChar

i think it quite touching that he is named after Louis Mountbatten

I thought it was Louis Armstrong and Ray Charles.

As in (NOT!):

"Stop messin' abart, Lewis, an' come in an' get thee dinner, lad! In fact, any more messin' abart, lad, and tha'll get a good batterin'!""

i thought Lewis came from Oxford and was Morse's sidekick

Will Corby be meeting Trump when he comes over ?

That would piss him off much more than any demonstrations would.

Abbott could take his missus shopping to the local charity shops where she usually gets kitted out.

Dig out your old flares and platforms Fred :-)

The new tory recycling plant?

The lights are on red for Theresa, Amber has gone.

Is Theresa coming to the end of the road?

What a chaotic tory party.

Unfit to govern.

Another remoaner out the way.

I'm feeling quite ashamed about this stuff:

Since Theresa May was Home Secretary, the Conservatives have forcibly removed thousands of people to Commonwealth countries. Over 7,600 people have been returned to countries including Jamaica, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sri Lanka on charter flights on the controversial Home Office charter escorted flights since 2010.

Home office chartered removal flights are controversial and very secretive, with people due to be removed given only a few days notice and not told what day they will be deported.

A report by Her Majesty’s Inspector of Prisons last year said detainees on one charter flight to Jamaica had “lived in the UK for a long time, leaving family behind, including children” adding, “one woman and one man said they had no one to go to.

Even though Amber Rudd has gone, I don't think the Windrush problem is going to leave our headlines yet.

May could be in such a big crisis with Windrush. She must have known what was going on because she was Home Secretary and it has been happening on her watch. People have been treated so disgustingly, I think she might have to resign too.

And Labour are also surely going to trounce the Tories in the forthcoming local elections.

Just because you have been committing an illegal act for a long time doesn't make it legal. Australia routinely returns persons to the UK after jail sentences, if they neglected to take out Australian citizenship. Regardless of the time they had lived (legally) in Australia. It's called upholding the law. We don't deport enough. The Windrush case is something different.

interestingly, when interviewed this morning, diane abbott refused to say or did not know what labour's policy on immigation was
