Either way, a disturbing thought. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cd165j28wp2o Neither - bear in mind the observation orignally (I think) came from that master of understated comedy, Bill Shankly. Shankly's best misunderstood joke, arguably, was the time he gave the BBC's presitious goal of the season award to a fast flowing move that ended in a headed goal by the Italian national team. He simply praised the artistry of the move and execution, never once mentioning the fact that the same goal was a large part of England's failure to qualify for the 1978 World Cup, a tournament at which Scotland did play! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is something a lot of people who know her have said for several years. Many of them also helped make her Prime Minister while knowing this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted July 20 8 hours ago, DCI Frank Burnside said: Still mind blowing this woman was PM even if for just 44 days Understandable she'd want to max out the former PM card somewhere they might not understand her current standing at home, but there's a long and unhappy history of Trump hangers on who've been brutally dumped and discontinued. And Truss isn't exactly A-list in the people Trump wants to help him. Just Googled "Truss and Trump Photo" and the first hits I got were Trump with Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage, does anyone know if she's actually met him? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted July 21 Update on what she was doing at the Republican convention, clearly there on the fringes, there was a scathing piece in yesterday's Guardian making it clear that Truss only got as far as being in a long line of people allowed to shake the hand of a passing J D Vance, and that unfortunately for Truss the one emerging photo was blurry so likely won't scream "posed essential picure of high powered political figure." Interestingly, The Guardian also devoted a page to a serious discussion of whether former PMs should face strong limitations on what they're able to do, not as biased as you might think, Blair was singled out as a serial offender, selling his skills to the highest paying dictatorial autocrat and - if anything - a worse example of bad behaviour than more recent cases because, basically, he's more able and skilled than chancers like Bojo and flakes like Truss. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
