Donald F. Collins, father of Maine’s senior senator and a fixture of the state’s political scene in his own right, died Saturday night. He was 92.

Collins, a Republican from Caribou, served five terms in the Maine House and Senate between 1970 and 1992, and as the mayor of the city of Caribou. He is survived by his wife of 70 years, Patricia Collins, and their six children, including U.S. Sen. Susan Collins.

Respects to the Tory Cunto.

 

Tried to get the belt/cane back into schools, when it was CUNTS that stopped it, and led to snowflakes.

 

 

It really needs to be introduced as parents are fucknuts, and cannot raise children.

 

Sad to see Bill proposed to raise Criminal Age in Scotland to 'above 8'.

Nothing new about Anh, but former Vietnam Prime Minister Phan Van Khai (1933) has been receiving treatment in Singapore and has spent some time on life support. Now he is apparently able to breathe on his own. Vietnam double whammy?

Not 1 not 2 not 3.....
But THIRTEEN Kenyan politicians being treated for cancer in India!

Nine MPs and four Senators are among thousands of Kenyans being treated for cancer in Indian hospitals, a legislator who was successfully treated for brain cancer says.

The identity of the MPs cannot be revealed but most of them are booked at Apollo Hospital outlets in New Delhi and other cities in the country.

First ex UK cabinet minister to die since Lord Waddington in February last year. I was kinda hoping the drought would be ended by someone like  Norman Tebbit but I guess he'll do for now

 

PS come to think of it  wasn't Ivor Richard in the cabinet as well as Leader in the Lords? Like no 9 buses you wait more than a year then 2 die on the same day !
