i don't bother with Libtard but as a true liberal I have always used 'liberal' for the deeply illiberal morally certain inflexibly minded :)

I'm amazed the Village Residents are putting up with it a) not being open b) and boarded up for so long it's an eyesore. Normally they're pretty vocal and *persuasive*

Trump is a bufoon sadly elected president of the United States of America, which for its many flaws (like us) is democracy and comparisons with Saudi especially but China too are some weird and illegitimate equivalence. PS the US is our biggest export market - google it if you don't believe me (14.5% of our Exports)

However - I do see something in the argument 'What's was the alternative?' - although parking ideology aside, his general shambling incompetence doesn't help. And, agree, to make May look good at PMQs is a feat in itself!

Some of us said straightaway that he'd be terrible - compromised, extreme and incompetent - but you idealists never listen to us pragmatists....

..just more proof that that the EDF, like much of social media, has a large percentage of naive, well meaning, 'virtuous', fuckwits as far as I'm concerned That censored bit was 'fookwits'

Go and google the amount of trade we do with the US already and think long and hard about hysterical knickerwetting posts because we don't like a democratic decision in another country. How do you and Jaywalker think we are going to run and fund say the NHS and most other public services by snubbing what is already our biggest export market and highest trade surplus trading partner already. It's impractical useless slightly sad virtue signalling - you are both being absolutely clueless to be honest.

As tweet follows tweet - today a 2000 mile wall - could we register our opposition to May having anything to do with Trump? Or do we think that the USA is truly our friend? Great 'strawman' Jaywalker

Being a juvenile twat I still fail to go past The New Den on the train without flicking the vs or doing a W*nker sign - so i am glad it's staying rather than moving to North Kent. Still not been to the New Den - I think I'll stay with my warm and cosy memories of the Old Den instead

If i tell you I lose my edge :)

or The Swan

Hideous place in my book but doesn't Infernos hit your brief :)

ahh, but StTottering's day will surely effect you Jah :)

I *think* in fact I'm pretty sure that women are now earning more than males at the youngest age breaks. This isn't to say your general point isn't true but there has been some progress.

it's all technique rather than just predictions good Dr - i won one of these at work last year with 250 entrants and won a Grand!

Turnout for the Brexit referendum was 71%, which was higher than the 66% turnout in the GE . GE turnout had been improving since its nadir in 1997 (sub 60%)

The king is back......
