HH appears to be in a little trouble at the moment.


She walked right into a trap last week when she actually told an anti-semitic joke on TV - even though it's written down as a (bad) example in her book and it was then quoted in all the newspapers (whats the difference between them quoting her and her quoting her own book ?).


You could see Michael Portillo cringe behind her and Andrew Neil fume (she said he and his sort would like it).

Another sarcastic and snidey piece. Anti-man, anti-straight, anti-family, anti-maternal. It's all there in The Guardian. Can't bear it anymore...

The government is a little chaotic at present


Priti Patel up to something in Israel over the summer and Theresa May has just found out - she's reprimanded "in person" - does that mean over tea in No10


Boris talking his usual stuff - but seems someone got hurt this time - reprimand incoming no doubt.

They can put it in the shops but we don't have to buy it I suppose.


"One of Donald Trump?s most senior advisers has told Britain it must scrap EU food standards on genetically modified crops and chlorine-washed chicken if it wants a successful post-Brexit deal with the US."

Gotta love Grace Dent. A long underrated columnist. I think that stint she did covering the early days of Big Brother hurt her cv.

There is a theory going around that Boris is trying to get fired as Foreign Sec. It says that he's spotted he's totally embroiled in the Brexit fiasco and if he gets out now, he can come riding to the rescue when it all goes tits up in 18 months time.


This will, of course, require that the party - and the public - forget he was actually completely responsible for the Brexit fiasco in the first place.

Yup, here we go. Trump said we would do "a great deal", and Leave voters en masse pointed to it as an example of how we'll be fine.


Yes, once we've abandoned food safety and let US healthcare companies run riot across the health service.

The NHS; flawed and in need of help, but you'll miss it when it's gone.

as long as she's not somehow in hock to the Israeli government (somehow that's my worry - and if she was/is - who else is).

Judging by what we at least think we know about the nature of some of the meetings I say your worries are justified.


What effect if any her dismissal will have on EU departure though, I wouldn't know.

Maybe she should have done a bit more 'thinking' first.

They were comparing her to her successor.

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By Pugwash · Posted

      In the 1960s my husband went to a private day school, Although he was a bright child having won a couple of scholarships to other private schools, his father chose this particular one. He went from 11 - 14 years and left as unhappy with the set up which was based on ethnicity. All boys with both parents English were placed in the A stream regardless of academic ability, Boys with an Irish background were placed in B stream. All others were C streamed - this included boys with a Black or Asian  background, mixed race or mixed European background. His schooldays came to an end when he wished to learn Latin and he was told that no boy in C stream could participate in this subject. His father (not English) was very upset at this and withdrew him from the school and sent him  to a country boarding school.  The experiences he had with his schooling culminated in a breakdown of his mental health and several months in Maudsley. He had low self esteem and it took several decades for him to understand that it was the school system and not his ability which had failed him

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Actually, one of the reasons Sylvester Road was closed was that the space available as more and more parcels were part of the mix was insufficient (and the facilities were primitive). And that was before Covid when parcel delivery numbers soared. Sylvester Road as it existed then would not have coped, probably (and the move to Peckham, when Covid arrived, showed that that wasn't sufficient either!).

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      By I&C · Posted

      Aria came round a couple of weeks ago to take a look at a radiator that wasn't working properly. He did a fabulous job, and was very generous with his time and his expertise. We will absolutely look to him again for any plumbing needs.
