    Well it was Bush Senior, but they are both dead now, so silence this thread please.

    Will have to change his dining habits once again as he enters the jungle in I'm A Celebrity...
  5. Landlord of his local pub replaces KP Nuts with packets of Kangaroo arseholes....while spending his PPE contract money on a redecoration...
  6. Either this is being severely trolled. Or the folk on here have dreadful appreciation of music - that's different from what you like, I have no problem with that.
  7. 2/2 Suella Braverman sits atop the proud British tradition of xenophobia (in general it's an English disease mainly). That's xenophobia of people of different colours as opposed to "white" - after all, nobody's talking about those pesky Canadians, New Zealanders or Australians. Back in the day, it was the Commonwealth immigrants, the hangover from the British Empire that Suella has expressed her love for so much. Blatant Nazis like Colin Jordan setting up his White Defence League in Notting Hill exploited the term "invasion" as far back as the late 1950s. Enoch Powell - well, nuff said, but at least his unpalatable racism was based on two strands - the reports that people of colour didn't want more immigration, and a "compassionate Conservatism" of paying for repatriation. Yet after a period of almost calm and harmony, Thatcher brought back the idea of being "swamped" by immigrants in the late 1970s - and partially got elected on the back of that - but not only that moved the argument on to "bogus" asylum seekers (all the while supporting the apartheid regime in South Africa and offending the Queen with her comments on the Commonwealth). But not only part of the right - David Blunkett and Margaret Hodge of all people have been guilty of using the swamped word during Labour's term in power. Suella is a product of the 1960s immigration that folk like Jordan and Powell fought so hard against - she wouldn't even be here had her predecessors succeeded in their arguments. Same goes for Rishi Sunak. And fucking Priti Patel. Moving the argument again to victimising the victims of people traffickers, dehumanising people as commodities to be packed off to Rwanda like some form of export. Because of the failure to deal with the broken system the Tories have been in charge of for 12 years, we find ourselves supposedly to pour our horrible life experience under this Government onto hatred for asylum seekers who are all condemned as illegal. Similar to the Trade Unions (themselves often authors of their own misfortune), they are demonised as a homogenous group rather than fellow citizens seeking better.
  8. 1/2 Liz Truss crashes the economy that was already precarious under holiday loving Johnson. So Sunak has to come back in and fix that. No commitment to the triple lock on pensions or the uprating of benefits which have stagnated for years. Hikes in interest rates with more to come. Inflation at 9% projected for all of 2023. Public sector pay lower in real terms than 2010 - workers are offered 2%, which won't even pay their increased tax bills/mortgage payments. Energy bills likely to remain high through 2023, help runs out in April. Whose fault is it? Because I'm struggling to see it's the immigrants/asylum seekers.

    New Here And Just Saying Hello

    So much "butthurt" (I believe the phrase is) over nothing. Just more attempts to bully someone off the site, instead of folk taking the steps they can to ignore if they so wish. You do you, diego, don't worry.

    I think the Good Food Guide indicates she was the first woman in the UK to gain the accolade. On a worldwide scale, it's just another Winter's Tale...(D. Essex).
