Youth in Asia

When I saw the name I assumed he was somehow related to Oswald Mosley and his family of fascists.

That's a big DDP hit, 23 teams have him as a joker.

Jacob Rees-Mogg would be a Portillo moment, just due to his general twattishness and high profile, and the way he sums up what a bunch of chancers his party are.

Most Americans are not famous comedians either.

I like picking up banknotes on my travels, for example I have a DDR deutschmark, some notes from North Korea and a Foreign Exchange Certificate (FEC) from Myanmar late 2000s. I also have a one pound note. I'm sure none of them is worth anything.

Great song!

Adam Henson's wife had PanCan .. and beat it? https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/bbc-countryfile-star-adam-hensons-32846987

I'm sure he'll be fine, assuming they are using Slovakian traditional medicine. A few shots of Slivovice and some freshly killed pig.

Interesting that a Slovak minister said this: For the first time in 31 years of our democratic sovereign republic, it happened that someone decided to express political opinion not in elections but with a gun on the street. Because Fico himself was deposed as PM in 2018 after he had 2 investigative journalists shot dead.

Otherwise someone throwing an egg at John Prescott could be classified as an assassination

It's not an assassination unless he actually dies, is it?

As a politician he wasn't a good guy, but still assassinations are a dangerous road to go down.

Fair point this guy was indeed a commie for a large part of his life. For Kim Jong-Un though, he probably doesn't even know what communism is, since he's the one who gets all the pies.

I'm not sure if it is correct to describe North Koreans as "commies". The regime follows Kimilsungism–Kimjongilism, a synthesis of the ideas of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il. Its guiding ideology is Juche, which is a philosophy of self-sufficiency. Although originally Communist in 1945, I think they have largely moved away from that over the years into more of a cult tied into a specific family/person.

I'm willing to bet there will be a lot fewer of these 75yr+ marriages in the future than there were in the past. The number of people who get married in their early 20s these days is low and shrinking, and most of those marriages will not last as long as that anyway.

Pray silence please ...

Who else has done a farewell death tour like this? [when they actually died at the end of it, i.e. not Wilko]

He's so vain, I bet he thinks this thread is about him.

Not really, he was the future big star of the party, tipped to be the next leader. She has no future, and despite being PM for 5 minutes, nothing much of interest in the past either.

According to Sharon Osbourne, OJ and his wife were drug dealers to celebrities, and she was killed in a hit by the local drug Mafia. He then made his escape in a confused and drugged up state because he thought they were going to kill him too.

This is fair enough

Apparently there is a famine\conflict going on in Sudan in which the number of people dying are far more than in Gaza or Ukraine, but the west including the media are completely uninterested in it.

She should have been on deathlist just for the name.

The Pope will be visiting East Timor and Indonesia at the beginning of September https://indonesiaexpat.id/news/pope-francis-to-visit-indonesia-this-september/ That would be a pretty strenuous trip for someone at death's door.
