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.

Not in Cornwall but take care down there George as the rumour is that all 3 were Tory voters ):-

Only a half-wit would consider the murder of three elderly men as something to joke about.

The only joke on here is you Scoby.

P 81497

Extremely poor taste Stan

Tories commenting on taste ...I've heard it all now 😂

George,

I thought you would revel in it!

What, the fact that 3 elderly men have been murdered, you are one sick individual and your bag man is equally sick.

Language George please and personal abuse does you no credit at all!...apparently 3 elderly Tories have been murdered this week so shame on you!

much more interesting, though i did not get a chance to read the whole in the Times ......
apparently (allegedly) if there was a GE today, the tories would get in with a small majority ...... tories +4 seats; labour -12 seats; no idea how the others split nor the scope of the poll

George.

What are your views on immigrants fleeing?

Forget them George. Fred is obese and doesn't get out much, while Stan is just a lonely keyboard nutter whose only outlet is posting his gibberish on here. I almost feel sorry for them.

No doubt it does Alf and not surprising or relevent as:

1. There isn't going to be an election today.

2. Political parties don't show they're hand until the last moment before polling day.

3. That quote comes from the Murdoch gutter press so not unbiased.

i don't entirely disagree with what you say, but the Times still has considerably more credibility that the Mail or Express

i must remember to catch up with the Observer's fortnightly poll
that can scarcely be damned as having right wing bias

what a stunning gaffe ......
john mcdonnell calls churchill a villain

though no doubt taken out of context, that will hardly endear him and his party to the voting public

Dunno about him being a villain, but he's certainly annoying!

Little Man.


John McDonnell has called Sir Winston Churchill a "villain" over his role in dealing with striking miners in 1910.

At a Politico event, when asked to give a one-word answer on whether Churchill was a hero or villain, the shadow chancellor said: "Tonypandy - villain".

During the Tonypandy riots of 1910, troops were sent out to control striking miners who wrecked town centre shops and mine owners' property.""



Churchill was scuttled out of South Wales with his tail between his legs.

Blinkered little man.

The 10 greatest controversies of Winston Churchill's career
By Tom Heyden
BBC News Magazine

So both you and Churchill were scuttled out of Wales with your tails between your legs.

poor little thin-skinned red fred ........ if he wasn't such a supercilious specimen, one might even be driven close to tears

without much difficulty, i can think of many incidents and flaws in churchill's character

however, the public's perception of churchill is of the "great saviour" - which of course he was - and thus mcdonnell's comment was a blunder of almost tsunami proportions ...... that it tells much about him and by association, also corbyn, will no doubt be remembered, even when the immediate fallout has (quickly) settled

Was Churchill a good painter? Many say so-so. I like the following which was a witty put-down unlike the foul mouthed McDonnell. Like Corbyn, he is as sweet as they come in TV interview but a ranting marxist on the stump.

Churchill was delighted to receive recognition as an artist when he was made Honorary Academician Extraordinary in 1948, by the Royal Academy of Arts. But not all in the art world were so positive about his talents. In 1958 the assistant director of the Pittsburgh Carnegie Institute declined the opportunity to exhibit Churchill’s painting by referring to one of his other ‘hobbies’: ‘I understand that Churchill is a terrific bricklayer too, but nobody is exhibiting bricks this season.’

Manuel or Mainwaring,

Blustering again.

Are you also dribbling as per usual or just waiting for the next G/E with the UK economy in a slump and a Labour government.

General taxation will be up and JC will be inspecting the books of some.

Be wise to get rid of any ill-gotten loot.

red fred's usual rubbish response when he has nothing to constructively counter
is fred ever constructive?


IT - loved it :-)
