Hell yeah!

It is the list titled 'potential collaboraters' though - not the one titled 'agitators' - so you are safe!

Considering the ones he didn't disassociate himself from, how was was the *Junglebook* tweet? First I've heard of it.


Interestingly, one of the White Supremacist groups was posting furiously on the group page on Monday night. At the time I just assumed they were making the most of an open thread with lots of passing people...

Do you jerk your knee?

Do you jump on bandwagons?

Do you mindlessly follow crowds without stopping for one moment to consider what you're doing?

Do you have overly simplistic answers to incredibly complex problems?


Then you need a Facebook petition.

As undeniably inflammatory as the account holder's comments were, I don't think you can justify all the scorn being poured on Cameron from the left-wing media. He has to make some decisions and allegiances that, with the benefit of hindsight, aren't as informed as he would've preferred, and will occasionally backfire on him. I suppose you could draw a reasonably sound parallel with Manchester Metropolitan, Teesside, Liverpool John Moores, Glamorgan and Queen Margaret (Edinburgh) universities entering into sponsorship agreements with the brutal and oppresive regime in Libya. The negative coverage has also backfired on them, too.

Or a riot.

I now visit my rather lame Facebook page about three times a year and it's going to die very soon. Strangely, I found I started actively disliking lots of people whom I actually like and respect in real life.


You can be too connected. It's days are numbered. And if you are an EDF hipster you really have no excuses. It's evil.

    • Amazing. Now could you cut and paste an AI summary of the defence case for Andrew M-W? 
    • I would like to understand this promise by the Greens in greater detail and how it applies locally? Presumably road/pavement upkeep and renewal is as important for cyclists and pedestrians as motorists? I am not aware of plans to build new roads locally but there has been plenty of money spent on converting roads into pedestrian only areas. On the face of it this feels a slightly empty statement, when applied at local level. I'd love to know the Greens stance in hiring out parks for private use (given impact on park environment), I'd also like to understand their stance on fireworks- I will look to see if I can find anything. I don't know if a manifesto exists under the documents section of Southwark Greens, but you can only access that bit by signing in- which is disappointing. If anyone has a manifesto that reflects local priorities- could they post a link?
    • You are most likely correct in thinking that  Kinnock, Blair, Brown, Starmer et all knew it.  But they obviously thought that his skills, abilities and usefulness far outweighed the negatives. Here is a summary of the positives lifted from elsewhere:-   1. Strategic Architect: He was a primary architect of "New Labour," rebranding the party and shifting its core ideology to win the 1997 general election. 2 Master of Communication: Often called the original "spin doctor," he revolutionised how political parties manage the media. He famously created the "grid" system to coordinate government messaging. 3 Networking and Charm: Known as "Silvertongue," he possesses a peerless ability to charm and network with high-level global figures, including business leaders and heads of state. 4. Governance and Trade Expertise: Beyond strategy, he was considered a highly efficient minister, serving as European Commissioner for Trade and Secretary of State across multiple departments, including Business and Northern Ireland.  5. Reinvention: His capacity to adapt to changing political climates and rebuild relationships reflects personal resilience and strategic flexibility. With his skill and abilities, he delivered results for all his bosses. In the short time in Washington, he found a way to get on the right side of Trump - despite him  being critical of Trump in previous years. That said he is complex personality.  He can be simultaneously brilliant and arrogant, thick-skinned yet sensitive, and selfless for his party while appearing narcissistic in his personal dealings.  My OP asked if he would be accepted over the pond. It turned out he was because he got on famously with trump. He worked out the correct strategy to get on the good side of Trump and secured a better trade deal than the EU and other nations.    
    • Malumbu, do you happen to know what the current figure is for "trips into town made by walking, cycling and public transport"?
