    Dublin (Ireland) Stabbings

    So. It turns out that the hero who stopped the attack was a deliveroo rider and a… checks notes… immigrant.

    Dublin (Ireland) Stabbings

    You do know that Israel was born out of a terrorist campaign that killed mainly British military personnel and it currently has a convicted terrorist in government?

    Because they need to make more next year and the next year and the next year etc etc when shareholders will be expecting more dividends. I worked for Westburys as a sub contractor when Persimmons brought them out. Talking to the management I knew at the time Directors couldn’t believe what was...

    And at a pace that ensures that the market price keeps rising.

    Again, Truss. Braverman is making the right noises for the membership. All she has to do is get to the final 2.

    I always had an interest in the second part which meant that the first part came easily (no pun intended) with experience.

    The thing is you could just as easily be describing Truss or Johnson. It never stopped them from being leader, if anything it helped them.

    He has the air of a man who’s never satisfied a woman. Or ever had any interest in even trying to.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    If the previous leadership contest was a measure of the next Hunt wouldn’t have gone out in the first round last time. It’s pretty clear that the right wing press wants her as leader, they’re recycling all their old Truss headlines for her and that might be enough to get her to the final 2...

    Yet Truss didn’t. Not sure what your point is.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I think it’s fair to say that any party membership capable of voting Truss leader is more than capable of voting Braverman leader. It’s not exactly a membership with a track record in common sense. And after the next GE the parliamentary party may have little choice but to put her forward in a...

    Ultimately they’ll end up regretting it. Far right parties do not make good government. We’ve seen this all around the world in the last decade from Brazil to the US to Italy. Even in this country, the further the government lurch to the right the worse they’ve became. Even Sunak realises this...

    It was a bit of a pointless budget past the headlines. People’s expendable incomes are going to continue to be squeezed and that’s what really matters to people. It will be forgotten about tomorrow when the rise of the energy price cap is announced. Circa 5% rise for the next quarter is what the...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    50 hostages being released in return for a temporary ceasefire. Don’t know what to make of this. Good news in some respects but the deal Qatar has been talking about literally from the start of this was a complete ceasefire for the return of all hostages. From what I’ve read the government in...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Absolutely and MHancock was shown up today also for being as thick as pig shit. The only difference between the two is there’s never been people queuing up to tell you how intelligent MHancock is and its all an act.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    One myth that we can put to bed from the covid enquiry is that Boris is actually a very intelligent guy. He’s as thick as pig shit, incapable of understanding the most basic of information and not even able to process the evidence of his own eyes and what was happening in Europe and especially...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    They’ll be series of tunnels under the new one too. There always is under large buildings that are utility hungry.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Maybe compared to past Tory parties but not the current cult. Starmer is a centrist at the end of the day and the current Tory party is anything but centrist.
