Gloucester Saint

Polls shift and shape when tactical voting, which will clearly happen in practice, is factored in https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/nigel-farage-stop-prime-minister-tactical-voting-labour-reform-b1271499.html

Antwerp is good and pretty easy from Southampton if you’re going from there. Or from Gloucestershire really. Great architecture including an amazing cathedral which Toby A had a tattoo of down his arms, zoo, stunning station, UNESCO listed museums, top level art galleries and in winter the jazz bars are full, summer lots of squares to eat and drink in, some of the best beer in the world, great chocolate and renowned for jewellery. Can’t wait to go there for work or play again. Rotterdam or Amsterdam not far on the train either.

Did he mention being on the front 🦶 at all?

One positive, via @Farmer Saint I’ve discovered the Viz-like Rotherham Bugle. Another funny from them https://www.rotherhambugle.com/2023/01/22/barnsley-man-forced-to-abandon-car-on-smart-motorway-due-to-beer-fart/

Agree with this. For all of the flak he’s had in the past, the affair (which most of them have done) and some of his whackier views on medicines, he’s handling this situation rather well and he does say a lot of things I agree with. I suspect they’ve all got fed up with Andrew being indulged and since the Queen and Prince Philip have passéd on (not implying they covered anything up btw) more has seemed to consistently emerge, although the lid was rattling after the Matlis car crash of an interview in 2019. That’s when I sensed public opinion really turned. Harry probably unwittingly provided some air cover as well before his grandparents passed on with the headlines on the family exit. Police won’t be revealing where he’s held and any tabloid that tries I’d imagine won’t be printing copies for some time.

Cameron Archer will be one of those pets who lurks in the corner of their cage with Beats headphones on rather than approaching you with tail wagging and trying to get your attention.

TBF I wouldn’t inflict Damion Downs on any animal sanctuary, not even the Donkey 🫏 Sanctuary in Sidmouth.

Most managers who have been in the job for a while generally are and shrug it off after a bad home display and defeat.

Who was he ranting at there, presumably at the end of their defeat to the skates? Answer on page 4 and 5 https://forum.charltonlife.com/discussion/comment/5766433 to one of their fans who made a remark at the end, seemingly called Nathan a wanker.

More money (albeit temporarily) so he won’t care.

Kent had a strategically important role as a bridge to the EU but they blew it https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-36616172 They aren’t as in a bad a shape as the part of County Durham the BBC covered which I mentioned in the Brexit thread. But some of the predictions from Craig McKinlay about a more buoyant economy would be hilarious if the real world impact was anything but. Roger Gale and Greg Clark had far more of a clue of what was to come.

Interesting article. I get the frustration with mainstream parties, the anger from the Miners’ Strike at the Tories, not feeling New Labour did enough, Boris’s Levelling Up not coming their way and frustration at living standards not demonstrably improving now. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm2136jnjx1o But only a couple of them there take some responsibility for their actions as well. Halving an already low place income in 2016 was daft but some of them considering doing it again. I like that the bloke stood up to take responsibility for running the social club, they need more of that. But the racism against people coming in to work hard to help their economy and elderly family members is insane and any amount of flag shagging won’t change that.

Controversial but Fight Club. First hour a great film and then the plot becomes incredibly, obvious, tedious and cheesy.

Which is the irony of it - Tories promoted her because of that and her crazy Brexit views. Trump fanatic and would bring his hatred here to the UK. Unity not division from her of all people 😂 The other parties need to not just get out of the way of the Tories in Fareham in 2029 but help them with their campaign. She needs defeating at all costs.

Although if Musk ponies up the money to make Lowe’s party national then it might do Reform some harm #EveryCloud
