Aslan Bzhania, a candidate for president of Abkhazia and former head of security, has been poisoned for the second time in less than a year. You'd think a former head of security would be more careful. Aslan Bzhania apparently recovered and back on the campaign trail. Silly assasins- you can't poison someone named Aslan. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 12,576 Posted March 21, 2020 Lord Ted Graham, has died days before his 95th birthday. A Labour peer, he had been the oldest member of the House of Lords since Lord Carrington’s death, though I don’t think he was still attending. Also MP for Edmonton (1974–83), a WWII veteran and cousin of Baroness Oona King (former Labour MP for Bethnal Green and Bow). To my knowledge, there are now only 4 living former MPs who served in WWII. Lord Christopher, who is 95 next month, is now the oldest member of the House of Lords. Tribute from the Co-operative Party. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aye, I'm somewhat staggered to discover Fozzy Bear fucked no-one against their will because it had a Harvey Wankstain feel about it. But - looking at the BBC coverage - the strain has put the years on him: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-52004285 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ll wager he stands in this constituency based on the fact he was the ‘popular’ Banff and Buchan MP for many years. The local party apparently wanted a woman to replace Stevenson but they’ll jizz everywhere if they get Salmond. Even if he is an adultering old perv who preys on women. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
