He had a square go with Mr Tickle

To the people who, and I understand why they think it, say 'now is not the time to be getting political and bashing the government'. I would love to agree, but just this week: A government minister (Nadine Dorries) promoted far-right lies (a clip featuring Keir Starmer, doctored by a far-right group) and went completely unpunished. The PM and the Health Secretary both lied about care homes. The PM was proven to have lied about customs checks in N. Ireland. Teachers were maligned. The Home Secretary reviewed the NHS surcharge paid by international healthcare staff and decided that the charge should increase, despite their invaluable, lifesaving work. The virus containment policy became completely equivocal. This golden 'R' number went up and is nearly at 1 again. What? Are we supposed to just brush all this off? Our government is absolutely vile.

You just got to have faith in the enema...

but can you say "imminent enema" three times fast?

I agree that they acted far, far too late. Also agree that, despite some safeguarding the chancellor is getting praise for, the needs of the self-employed have rather been ignored - I’m seeing it with people in my factory, they are having to work themselves to the brink of collapse right now to pay for all the time they couldn’t. Our govt’s collective cavalier attitudes towards the virus have endangered or killed a monstrous amount of people. And the fact that, despite there being only 1 out of another 195 world leaders that has been worse than ours, we have to sit through another 4 years or so of what I can only expect to be a continued clusterfuck is sickening and frankly quite frightening. A lot of these recent fuck ups aren’t even virus related, it’s just the attitudes of an absolutely virulent bunch of politicians. It’s not because they’re Tories, it’s because they’re pricks.

I have to agree with you, they are shite. Too many lies, too many wrong decisions, too much bullshit. Can we count on them in a crisis? Fucking hell, no. I have always said that the inquests should be carried out after this shit is all over but, in all fairness, we are all having to live with this utter bullshit of mixed messages, u turns and a complete lack of action early on when it was pretty clear we needed to act and act fast. As it is, I get no furlough and no help as a self employed person because I became self employed last June. I am earning, pretty much fuck all but we are surviving. Thanks to the hospitals stance that Lady FN did not need full PPE, she got the virus and gave it to me. She now has full PPE FFS!! Bit late now. Maybe, just maybe, swifter action would have lessened the impact considerably. Actually, it fucking would have, wouldn't it. What I won't take up the harris though are diatribes from certain cunts on here, whose only question, when the Tories got in, was 'will it affect me benefits? They need to shut the fuck up, they are the precious few, along with essential workers and those that are still able to work who are less affected by this cluster fuck of a crisis than millions of us who can't work and can't, technically, go anywhere apart from the park etc. Mind you, we can now travel as far as we want so, maybe, Norfolk to Dartmoor may be a nice run out..... When this is over, if it ever is truly over, let us see how fucking useless they are at running the country. Scary really, I have no confidence in any Political party to govern, we may all be fucked.

I can't even say it once without tripping up.

Tories are cunts? Welcome to the real world. The debt at the interim break of this will be astronomical. Flushed the people and the economy down the toilet the moment the PM stayed on holiday during the worldwide spread of a virus. Nearing 35,000 dead, mostly from poor and ethnic minority groups. Tory PM's haven't orgasmed as much since WWII.

He was beaten up by someone with very long arms

You can add the government threatening to freeze public sector pay for two years..... the very public sector who've got us through the pandemic.

Lucky to make 76]

No, he has been doing this in 2006-2008, if I'm not wrong. He has started doing this again. Welcome back, David!

Well unless he was beaten up by a member of his immediate household someone isn't practicing social distancing

A deathlist hit maybe?

I have a strong feeling and sense that something is fairly imminent......

If you can speak French here is an obit for him...https://www.acadienouvelle.com/actualites/2020/05/15/lancien-eveque-dedmundston-mgr-gerard-dionne-nest-plus/ Bernardino Pinera and Damian Borau still carry on at 104 though , like ecclesiastical energiser bunnies !

Northampton is a shit hole by accident. Somebody actually took the time to design Milton Keynes to be a shithole.

Since the last update I posted, other than completing the letters M and S, I added quite a few featured artists to other letters but I think only three had missing info: Millard Thomas (Harry Belafonte's long time guitarist), The Curls and The Clark Brothers. I will contact Colin Green, he seems to have been in quite a few of these outfits and could probably help loads. I'm not sure what to do with the next lot yet. I will definitely do just the 1970s first, rather than lumped together with another decade like this was. I was thinking of going on GoDaddy tonight, buying a web page and making a start on 70s "A" there. I suppose I could just post a message/appeal for info here each time I've updated the site with a new letter? Would save some middlestepping/congestion in this thread.

My father Richard and his elder brother John taken 1928.
