But think. DI's headline could be "Noel And Void"!!! Too good to miss.

Yeah, I noticed I was a couple of points short too. But at this stage...*shrug*.

Don't get me started on Callaghan! Dead unburied, fuel crisis, rubbish piled high in snow covered streets. Inflation rising, wage suppression - almost something Sunak would be proud of these days.

I'm on the That's Christmas TV channel, deliberately tempting fate. Yep, Last Christmas on now. Yeah, baby.

Glenys Kinnock QO: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/24933574/baroness-glenys-kinnock-dead-wife-labour-neil-tributes/ Or preferred by @gcreptile BBC: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67606751

DDP pick.

Well, he's wrong isn't he? What he could have recognised as I do was that Thatcher was a statesperson who stuck to a policy agenda despite the slings and arrows of resistance against her and stuck to a path. Everything else was shit. She didn't encourage people's natural entrepreneurism. She made the country a massively service economy rather than a manufacturing powerhouse. She made millionaires out of the City workers, the stock traders and the bankers of London, whilst making wastelands of unemployment and poverty in large swathes of the country. She made it easier for credit to run rampant and for those supplying that credit to charge huge APR rates. For those who did try the business route, she made it easier for them to go bankrupt. Her social policies were a disaster. But then, we don't need to be told all of that. Some of us lived it. It's an absolute nonsense to suggest that it was advantageous to have entrepreneurship in a country so riven with inequality. Those who had money made more of it, those who didn't could get to fuck as far as she was concerned.

Starmer's praise for Thatcher is imo unlikely to go down well in Scotland. With an open goal as the SNP do their best to lose seats, he has handed them a lifeline. Once again, we see Labour's true colours here. They want to appeal to Tory voters and win in England and possibly Wales, then claim to govern for the whole country. I can see polls narrowing after this.

Much better.

Good luck! There's no rush I assume, as you seem to be the only one who picked her here!

Right, points are only scored when there's a DDP QO. Have you got one, cos I have had a quick swatch and found nothing?

Season 5 participant, sometime DDP pick and Jade Goody's mum Jackiey Budden gets a wee exclusive write up in the Mail: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12804381/jade-goodys-mum-jackiey-budden-lives-flat-crime-estate.html Apparently living in a crime ridden area of Bermondsey, full of drug dealers. What, Daily Mail? After 13 years of a caring, compassionate Conservative government who crack down hard on crime? That surely cannot be right. Back in the limelight as grandson Bobby Brazier takes part in Strictly. And because the Mail decide to cover her.

This article says otherwise: https://beyondthejoke.co.uk/content/14205/tony-allen-died-dead Apparently he died today but held a wake for himself a few months ago. That joker.
