Starmer is doing a good job at clearing out the stable but the stench of Corbyn and his followers still hangs over the Labour party. Corbyn may not be in the party atm but many voters will be wary of trusting Labour whilst the likes of Abbot, Mcdonnell and Long Bailey are still around. The Lib Dems could have a role to play in any progressive government which sorts out the current mess. Their coalition experience however is not good and they need to up their game to get noticed by the public.

I can't make up my mind about this. This country needs better leadership than this rabble. We shouldn't have to suffer them any longer. On the other hand it would be good for the opposition if the clowns could linger on. This English Nationalist party which is masquerading as the Conservatives needs to be opposed. I wouldnt be at all surprised if Cummings has a blockbuster email // video up his sleeve. Expect it to be revealed just after the Sue Gray whitewash has reported.

The bloke just can't stop lying. He doesn't "recognise" David Davis's comment "in the name of God, go." Hmmm. You would have thought a biographer of Churchill would have recognised the attack on Chamberlain which led to Churchill coming to power.

Has anyone listened to Fighting Talk on 5 live each Saturday morning? The light hearted show finishes with "Defend the indefencible." Panellists have to defend a clearly stupid, ridiculous position on a topic. Very amusing. I reckon the usual gammon on here are practicing for being on the show. 😉

You are very correct.... but she is not gunning for public opinion. The neanderthals who make up the Conservative party membership are the ones who vote for the Tory leader. They are her target. Remember they are the people who choose the likes of Baker, Swayne, Chope and Redwood etc to represent them. They will lap up the sight of a blonde bimbo sitting next to the Union Jack and asking for people to" move on". I dare say for example that our old mate Wes Tender is having wet dreams over her. Her main contender for the leadership, Rishi, isn't going out of his way to appeal to them. He annoys them by raising taxes and trying to be responsible for the nation's finances. I dare say some of them don't like the colour of his skin. Truss is playing a clever game. God help us if she succeeds.

Rumour has it that his wife tells him what to do and is his true boss.

So you can "bring your own booze" to work. Drinking at work was a sacking offence where I used to work.

The result from last night and the last few matches along with the absence of certain posters from this thread perhaps indicates that fhe "cult of Hasenhuttl" were correct. 😁😁

Exactly. I read somewhere (perhaps on here) about the time that Allegra Stratton resigned that there were more stories to emerge. Someone is playing this very cleverly. Perhaps the same person who leaked the photos of Hancock snogging his aide.

The bass player was Richard Osman's older brother. Not many people know that.

Start the ball rolling. Write a letter to your MP if he is a Tory expressing your disgust. It will have to be the MPs who get rid of him. If they think he's a liabilty they wont stand by him.

I think that this thread has the distinction of being the only thread in the Lounge without a contribution from WSS. 😁😁😁

Good question but I think that we need to consider the capabilities of the angels before deciding this. Are there any restrictions on their movements? Do their wings get in the way?

As Saints I am amazed that we have never discussed one of the most important questions of the day - "how many angels can dance on a pinhead?" I have my own views but before revealing them I would like to guess what other posters are going to say: Weston Super Saint will most definitely have an opinion. He will apply "critical reasoning" and post many, many times on the thread but not actually come up with a number. Delldays will come up with the same opinion as Brett from Camden, Batman and AlexLaw 76. He will highlight the discrepancy between the figures quoted by the Catholic Church, the Cof E and the Methodists but also not come up with an opinion. Lord Duckhunter will just exclude chick angels. Turkish won't include any Muslim angels. MLG would want to define what is meant by an angel. ... and Lighthouse would monitor this thread in the manner that it is meant - with a smile on his face.

You are perfectly correct in these errors. They drove me mad and revealed a total lack of knowledge about us. BUT I would say that their commentary on the match was fair and complementary to us. Whenever we play a big team like Liverpool on Sky the commentators are so busy having a wankfest over them that we get ignored. Anything that we do well is because the big team play badly. I was expecting a similar Swansea / Welsh wankfest and was pleasantly surprised that it didn't happen.

The commentary said it was Lyon and I am sure that nobody would wear a Pompey shirt by mistake. 🙂

Nathan Lyon the Aussie spin bowler was just shown on TV sitting in the crowd wearing a Pompey shirt. I always hated the bald cunt.

I went to the match behind enemy lines. We were very good value for the win, playing 2 different teams including youngsters like Finnegan. I don't know how strong Swansea's team was but unless they have improved I would expect another comfortsble win.

I wonder who the hotelier was.

Queenie and the constitutional role of the monarch are areas to debate. To me (and I suppose that at heart jI am a bit of a monarchist) it is the minor royals who need to be relegated to the ranks of commoners. Prince pervert, his younger brother, sister and all their offspring need to lose all their state funding and privileges. Harry can be chucked as well. Who gives a toss where he lives and with whom? To be fair, Anne's kids don't have titles . Prince P 's however are still called Princess and get state weddings at Windsor Castle. Shouldn't they be chucked?

Corrected for you.

Overall I agree with you. Most owners surely cannot make any money. Simon Jordan wrote an entertaining, informative book on how he lost a fortune at Crystal Palace. Anyone who read that would be put off investing in football. Occasionally however , as the Leibhers demonstrate, there are bargains available. At the moment , Derby County scream out to me as a bargain - or at least they will be in the summer once their points deduction has their relegation confirmed. I would also think that Ipswich could be a profitable acquisition for the patient investor.

The Leibher family have certainly made a lot of money out of football clubs. For a total outlay of c £30 million (initial purchase and subsequent investment) they had a return of £200 million plus and still kept 20% of their investment. I stand to be corrected but I think that they had previously made money on the purchase and subsequent sale of a club in Austria.

Definitely. You want a number and as long as it is not toooo unrealistic a good accountant can provide it.

12. Apparently there is "Covid gammon." Most of the Brexit gammon have become critics of Covid restrictions but apparently not all of them.
