Apparently Deathlist alumnus Profumo shagged a Nazi spy.

 

 

So what I get from this is that the Nazis wanted to blackmail young likely MP John, so they send a 1930s glamour model (and spy) to seduce him. He sleeps with her for nigh on 4 years. Then, he votes the opposite way to what the Nazis would have wanted in parliament in the first place, making it all a waste of time. Then he got a long career of sleeping with society girls before the whole Keeler thing.

 

Not much of a cautionary tale, really!

I don't really know where to put this.

 

2018 possibilities. Stuid funny things. Etc etc.

 

A kickstarter campaign, has put 4 names into obit frame as 'if' film released, they'll get some coverage when they peg.

 

4 employees who refused to repair the Chilean aircraft in the 1973 murderthon.

 

Stories in the link, and a wee film, Bob Fulton is a cert obitwise.

Kate Steinle's murderer found NOT GUILTY.

Jose Zarate, the man charged with the murder of Kate Steinle has been deported multiple times and according to defense "accidentally shot" Ms. Steinle.

I think this verdict is ridiculous, it's not a surprise coming from California though.

I don't believe in the death penalty but I certainly wouldn't have been mad if he got it.

We should expect Trump to ramp up his racist rhetoric on twitter any moment now, he's been retweeting videos of muslim migrants beating up disabled dutch boys as well so we know he's in a particular mood.

Three strikes and you're out...

 

First strike was Ronald Reagan.

Second strike was George Bush Jr.

Third strike was Donald Trump.

 

The American government will lose the ability to act strategically. Not necessarily militarily, but when it comes to climate change, poverty, infrastructure measures, and so on.

 

National interest will be replaced with a thousand seperate corporate interests.

 

Every era ends. The American era ended with Obama.

I unfortunately have the feeling that an economic crisis like the Great Depression is coming soon. I sincerely hope I am wrong, but considering recent trends... :unsure:

Well, I think the moon landing was peak USA (perhaps peak mankind). Then it went downwards but the collapse of communism was another victory. And then there was the Internet and all that. Also, China wasn't ready yet. So I think the era ended not too long ago.

 

The American century began in 1918 and ended in 2017. The moon landing (and Nixon) is almost right in the middle. Almost by design.

NI will become the EU's back door to the UK. The DUP really are insane - yes we must leave, we must have the same as the UK (forget abortion, etc) but no border. We shall see goods and people coming in via Eire. Unless Tezza institutes border checks on the mainland.

 

It is time to

Have some sympathy for us poor hacks who have already resigned ourselves to cancelling holiday to cover next year's election.

They've made it rather simple, imo. We all stay in the single market, or no one leaves the EU, or we leave without a single thing agreed and no ability to do trade deals with anyone.

 

Simple.

Tories and I think the SNP now want to harvest our organs after death unless we say otherwise. Nope. Not happening. Thatcher didn't want my blood in the 80s, not getting anything when I'm gone.

 

Meantime, while adding trillions to the US debt, Trump wants to send astronauts to the moon. While the world searches for a suitable life bearing planet for when this one is destroyed, this tool wants to go next door.

I support Trump in this endeavour. Christ, YW, lets keep him distracted for a bit from anything important!

Damian Green resigns.

 

A sweepstake on what lives longer - Leah Bracknell's life or Theresa May's career - might be a close run thing now.

 

Please nobody start that poll. Thanks.

Tezza denies knowing anything about allegations against Damien. Would that be in the same way that Damien "knew nothing" about the porn on his computer?

 

Meantime, I see that the Brexit debate has degenerated into some anal posturing about the colour of the passport. FFS, get on with the job, really who is that up their own posterior about the colour of a passport?

Well I voted for it and I don't give a hoot, lol.

 

Interesting the discrepancy there between pre-decimal currency and selling in pounds and ounces. Neither of which I remember, and I'm getting on a bit. Brexit is obviously a bright future full of opportunities - to return to the past? Bloody fools.

They really want the death penalty back? Why do they think it should be brought back? It’s not like the US has the death pena- Oh wait. We do...

I'm assuming a fair number, like 53% in fact, are less than fully educated. The provisions regarding the death penalty are part of the European Convention on Human Rights, not the EU.

 

So we'd have to leave that Convention separately - something I think the current bunch are in favour of, but it has nothing to do with Brexit.
