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 am well aware of the meaning of sogennate (not as you spelled it), it being commonly associated with with late and unlamented DDR

i am much amused that you (of all people) think me hypocritical, for at least i say what i mean and (i hope) act accordingly, and don't just slither and prevaricate ..... can you really say the same for yourself (without having fingers crossed behind your back)?

Manuel,

To me, as an observer, your beliefs often seem only momentary unless they are of benefit to you.


Perhaps. what you think you can get away with.

-=-=-=


Anyway, what is your excuse for England's rugby performance?

"observer" and "seem" and "get away with" just highlights how little regard you have for actuality, perhaps cherry-picking bits out of context to suit what you wish to perceive

as for england's rugby, i'm afraid it lacked fire and imagination, as it generally has all season

All season ?

They play like that every season.

in that case, others play even worse

Trump lawyer calls for end to Russia investigation after McCabe firing

i bet he did!
it is likely that trump's troubles are only now starting with this and his court case with the hooker and much more i'm sure

Seems like American politicians can't keep it in their trousers. I suppose we should be thankful that they do it with grown women unlike many of our lot.
As for McCabe, I should have some sympathy since it is my paternal grandmother's name, but I don't. It seems that he was fired by the US AG for "unauthorized disclosure to the media and lacked candour - including under oath- on multiple occasions".
Appears that his political persuasions ran ahead of his day job. Involve yourself in white-anting your boss and you can expect to be shown the door.

IT - i wonder if that is actually the truth rather than trump-inspired truth-tweaked disinformation

Tory death wish.

It wasnt enough for Treeza to nearly lose the last election, they now want to make double sure they lose the next one.

Exclusive: Pensioners could be forced to pay 'NHS tax' to fund their care


By Christopher Hope, Chief Political Correspondent and

The NHS is set to receive billions of pounds in extra funding later this year with ministers considering possible tax rises on older workers.

Theresa May will today tell Conservatives they must prove to voters that they “care enough” about the NHS if they are to beat Labour on the key battleground of public services.

It is understood there is now broad agreement within the Cabinet that extra money must be provided for the health service.

Some ministers have privately suggested an across-the-board rise in National Insurance to provide new ring-fenced funding for the NHS.

However, The Telegraph understands that officials are drawing up plans for a more targeted tax rise on older workers.

Is Theresa May's Land becoming more like Putinland or Trumpland?

Has much in common with both.

This may interest or at least amuse some:

Just out of interest what is the potent nerve agent signature being compared with?

Are there comparison samples out there?

i am satisfied that porton down and others have done their homework thoroughly and forensically and, unlike slimeball blair, have not just manipulated and reinterpreted intelligence reports to suit
that the rest of the world with whom we share intelligence info backs TM's condemnation and action, speaks volumes

you really are a disgraceful apologist for corbyn and his militant/marxist cronies

I always like attempts to hang somebody on scanty evidence.

Makes me feel safe in my bed.

Produce the evidence, analyse and prosecute if you have a case.

Not go on "smears" and "hothead" calls for a fight.

-=-=-=-=-=

But perhaps is it a diversion from Brexit and Russian Mafia money.

It would seem to me cooperation with the EU is more important if attempting to stabilise a destabilised an already fractious world.

Produce the evidence and then prosecute a case at the UN unless you prefer to be an "up and at 'em redneck".

But of course, you could volunteer for active service.


After all the action some will still have to sit down and talk.

Unity of Western Europe seems to me to be more needed than showing off like outdated little Englanders and preaching disunity and then attempting to hide behind the skirts of Europe and the directionless USA.

Just fair comment.


Edited

you talk such total shit!
who, other than you and your militant/marxist buddy corbyn, says the evidence is scant?

all others in the know - and patently you are not nor should be - and corbyn is also not in the "circle of trust" and nor should he be, state categorically that the evidence shows guilt beyond all reasonable doubt

that is good enough for me and the vast majority of others as well as un and other supervisory bodies

you don't want to accept? ....... hard luck


would you have applauded TM had she taken a wishy-washy namby-pamby line like your buddy?
hahaha! ..... you would then have said (rightly in that instance) how weak and pathetic

How much Russian money is going into the tory party's kitty and what are they expecting for the bribe?

The cons are turning London into the centre of slush money.

You will be able to set up your barrow selling homegrown bananas.

or will you, as usual, decline to answer a simple straightforward question?

I would expect a "leader" to gather all the possible information and then examine it.

Present to the

I would expect a "leader" to gather all the possible information and then examine it appropriately and explore all the possibilities of responsibility.

Not to go for a political diversionary PR stunt like she has done.

Saying "look at me. I am a strong woman" but like with Brexit, to me, she doesn't know where she is going to.

To me, she is incompetent like a lot of her government.

-=-=-=-=

I agree with Corbyn's approach.

What is the necessity of rushing to action without due consideration?

-==-=-==

Look back to the 1920-1940 period and think about what led up to it and the loss of lives.

?60+ million.

Do you trust anything which comes out of Boris Johnston's more than comes out of Trump's?

I do Fred, about the same as I trust what comes out of Corby's mouth.


They're all two faced backstabbing toerags, the lot of them!
