It ran from about 2015 until last year. Did it with my friend from Germany (I can hear Brighton Skyblue laughing in the background).

We eneded up doing some events and festivals and started making a bit of money, although not a lot. The guy I did it with then started a different business and now that one doesn't do anything.

Sad really, I still think it has potential.
Do you still have the domain?

Great riposte..... How exactly am I am misogynist you complete and utter clown? I remain deeply embarrassed that someone with your views are a fan of our family friendly club.

I dunno, but the Tories would be missing a trick not putting him front and centre of as much as possible because he comes across very well.

I wouldn't. Possible leadership contender. They fucked this right up and it's quite possible they'll go with a leadership change again to 'wipe the slate clean'. So for that they need to keep someone as clear as possible of it so they don't get too associated. I think that person could be Sunak, although it may be Hunt.

Yeah De Pfeffel isn’t going to last and think you’re right about Sunak as opposed to someone like Gove who is a PR nightmare

Oh god imagine the crowing about having the first BAME PM. Considering annoying lefties is their most consistent political belief these days I think they’ll go Sunak for that reason alone.

To be honest I’d take it. Not a fan of changing PMs without an election and it’s be the third time in a row the public have elected a PM only to get a different one months later, but we really do need someone better than Johnson at the helm going forwards. The recovery from this and Brexit will consume the entire life of this parliament I’d expect. Makes sense to have an economist running the show during a Parliament all about economic recovery.

That’s the highest popularity of a sitting prime minister in history and at a time of national crises. Your crushing disappointment is round the corner
When you say in history I presume you mean in the history of YouGov as that’s your go too. So the last 20 years then.

Don’t think he realises you can turn his posts on and off.

Sadly you think David is a serious poster. At least he doesn’t actually take himself seriously despite his nonsense unlike some people on here who seem to believe people give a toss what they think

His philosophy is a little unnerving however. His disposition is not towards the state, even for a Conservative.

He claims no one has ignored him but I guess that is him trying to speak there with the ignored post

I doubt anyone outside of this forum cares about what any of us say.

Very true but I’m sure some people must think the opposite

Are there any sensible Conservatives left though? It’s only the wing nuts who survived the purge so you’ve got to take what you can. He was installed by Cummings over Javid because he was less of a Thatcherite loon wasn’t he? Javid didn’t want to spend to cushion the blow from Brexit like Cummings had planned was my understanding. Could be wrong though.

Edit: just read up on him a bit. Seems he is also a Thatcherite loon. Ah well. At least he’s a gamer.

You think Covtarian is a serious poster so I’m not sure what you’re trying to prove there.

Brilliant- you'll do really well. I can fire you some links to these online concerts if you like at some point- just say the word. There's a whole new movement out there for dance/ electronic/ ambient/ everything gigs & things via social media

I'll definitely pick you up on that! Thanks.

Sounds like what we do is right up your street. The whole thing has so much potential. At one point we had about 8 writers from around the world.

The website is still live and our social media pages have about 5k followers on most main platforms.

Last content was posted about two years ago though. Also the guy I did it with have some access to this dj group in Berlin, but they just sit on it and promote their own events from time to time.

Berlin- the centre of the universe when it comes to that type of music... but we're catching up again during lockdown which is great

Javid is wittering on about austerity being the answer to the economic issues of the pandemic
