Loath as I am to agree with you, I do think Sir Keir Starmer KC, former DPP, has been surprisingly bad at presenting the case for his government and its policies. For a laugh I looked up the required skills to be a barrister on the National Careers Service website. How many of these do we think he's demonstrated as PM?

'Don't believe everything you read' never had much mileage in the Crem household.

Yikes, his father was an SS general imprisoned for war crimes and his godparents included Hitler and Himmler.

Latest appearance of Anne Reid on Caroline Quentin's insta.

Another day, another pointless individual thread because someone happens to be old and famous.

The covetous cunts in Jerusalem are opportunistically grabbing Syrian land now. They just do whatever they want. Kill as many as you like, steal as much as you can, you'll get a free pass because you're the 'Chosen Ones' and/or the evils done to you 70+ years ago have to be paid for with the blood and land of the Arabs, for some reason.

You mean you don't like keeping tabs on Finland's 3rd oldest postman or the health minister of Uttar Pradesh 1975-1978?

You can say this about Andrew, he doesn't discriminate. He doesn't care where the money comes from.

Gloria Steinem, 90, interviewed by Architectural Digest in her apartment. Filmed sitting throughout and with a stick to hand. Very thin but she seems to have always been so. Clearly still very much compos mentis.

She was at a BFI event on Sunday. I think she's looking older but still decent for 90. Bonus Jim Broadbent, who's looked the same for 20+ years.

Because he's wanking himself into a coma at the prospect of a Farage government with 600 seats or summat.

I prefer Rui da Silva.

Worth noting that Syrians generally aren't strongly religious and have an understandable aversion to extremism of any flavour. Whether that realpolitik makes this alphabet soup of groups moderate their stances and cooperate remains to be seen.

I wonder if the rebels will let the Kurds formally secede or at least 'grant' extensive autonomy, rather than attempt to reassert central control over a large area that's been de facto independent for several years now.

Tbf, Assad actually has valuable skills, especially in a country that's suffered a brain drain like Russia has. He can get a decent job in a Muscovite eye hospital.
