Seeing as the Al Yamamah investigation was stopped 'for reasons of security' it doesn't take much of a leap of imagination to think that labour would have suppressed the story had this legislation been in place.


And this is cross party, so I can't even blame labour.

God I hope this goes no further.

Don?t worry we know what you mean.


As an aside though you have just highlighted the very reason why I am always so outspoken, fanatical even about civil liberties. It?s because I grew up in a country where they were restricted. Even when I was in primary school it pissed me off.

A favourite line in Dead Set last week was when the producer of Big Brother shouted at someone and was told to treat people properly, he barked "yeah alright Shami Chakrabarti..." - it just reflected how many people hold civil liberties in low regard


There is a a lot of consent being manufactured in recent years it has to be said - so no surprise to hear I'm with Brendan, Piers et al on this one...

There's never a precision-guided stealth bomb handy when you need one, is there?

It?s like they don?t give a shit, they do whatever they like, but, somehow, they know everyone will love it.


It could be with an envious eye that an outsider might look upon this charmed gang, not only talented and connected, but assisted and enabled by a company of similarly talented and connected friends. Bistrotheque is their Algonquin...


Grand looned around in her Balenciaga dress, Vuitton shoes and her prize, a big hairy wolf mask. They may be stars now, but they still roll in the old East End style.

    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse
