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.

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

meanwhile .....
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.

The 10 greatest controversies of Winston Churchill's career

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 :-)

Was Churchill a good painter? ...

---

From The Producers:

Franz Liebekind: You know, not many people knew it, but the Fuhrer was a terrific dancer.

Max: Really, I never dreamed that...

Franz Liebekind: That is because that you were taken in by that verdammte Allied propaganda! Such filthy lies! They told lies! But nobody ever said a bad word about Winston Churchill, did they? No! 'Win with Winnie!' Churchill! With his cigars. With his brandy. And his rotten painting, rotten! Hitler - there was a painter! He could paint an entire apartment in one afternoon! Two Coats! Churchill. He couldn't even say 'Nazi'. He would say 'Noooo-zeeehz, Nooooooooooooo-zeeehz!' It wasn't Noses! It was Nazis! Churchill!...Let me tell you this! And you're hearing this straight from the horse. Hitler was better looking than Churchill. He was a better dresser than Churchill. He had more hair! He told funnier jokes! And he could dance the pants off of Churchill!...Churchill!

Cheers,
KidA

Churchill about Labour PM Clement Attlee ( you could very well substitute the aspiring PM Corbyn today)
"A modest man, who has much to be modest about".

Churchill spoke many more pithy aphorisms

in fact, he is unfair to Attlee, for he did much as PM, even if one might disagree with many - nationalisation in particular

Corbyn is not in the same league as Attlee, but the following may well happen to him .....
After Labour's defeat in the general election of 1951, Attlee's effectiveness dramatically declined, his authority broken by factional fighting within the party.

The name calling and general muck spreading in JC's direction by the usual right wing suspects, the media of course in general and unintelligent bods is to be expected to some degree.

Thankfully more people are beginning to tire of such repetitive tripe.

back to front ...... never a day goes by without your bosom buddy fred posting his left-wing biased cartoons and of course making tiresomely snide and repetitive comment about the tory party and indeed anyone who does not support his (false) messiah corbyn

As you well know that is assuredly not true.

surely you're not trying to claim that your bosom buddy posts balanced views?
even he admits he does not and has neither wish nor intent to do so

I wish you wouldn’t do that cynic. I now have this disturbing mental image of Stan suckling on the Fred teat.

He tells the truth and usually without any side to his credit, which is something that cannot be said about you Muppets.

Suck suck

That'll be all that's left of Labour in the commons when the sensible ones leave in the next few weeks.
