Vitriolic? Hardly. You say he was evil but resent the BBC's tone because it might be a tad uncomplimentary?


Quite right, maybe they should have said the noble leader stood proud to the last. Defying the west he emerged from his environment-friendly, bijou palace with a wry smile, a final cigarette dangling rakishly from his voluptuous lips.


What a guy!


Ok?

Oh dear this is silly.


Have we really got people on this thread claiming the 'establishment' had him killed, and conspiracy theorists suggesting that it's a ruse?


And toasters are magic, and gravity is a theory?


Sure. It's possible that it's a ruse - but we base our interpretations on 'balance of probability'.


Enter UDT, stage left, with a woo woo comment.

No Maxxi I think the objection to the BBCs tone is it's unthinking parroting of the NTCs version of events. Lets not kid ourselves ... These don't look much like western style democrats to me. Deeply uneasy about NATOs role in all this ... Especially this gruesome denouement . I am not against regime change per se. But if you're gonna have the balls to do it, at least have the balls to say thats what you're doing. Hiding behind the fig leaf of "protecting civilians" just makes you look dickish. This feels different from our (belated) but much needed intervention in the Balkans ...of which I think we should be proud.

    • Loki hasn’t been seen since Sunday. He’s all grey but if you look closely he has faint stripes on the top of his tail. No pedigree, just very much loved. About 4 years old. No collar, but chipped.  please keep an eye out for him. We live on Barry Road SE22
    • I went in here the other day. The fruit is all really good - ripe and fresh. They also sell good bread (and croissants and pastries) from a independent bakery, the name of which I've forgotten. 🤦 The prices (which are marked) are not cheap but they are fair imo. Comparable to the specialist fruit shop on Lordship Lane (Brothers?) for really good quality. It's similar prices to Simply Fresh - but Simply Fresh's fruit and veg is very poor. Beaten about and tasteless. Sainsbury's is certainly cheaper. IMVHO they're a good addition to the Dulwich Village "retail offer".
    • Went actually for the first time yesterday. Terrific food, so was well pleased. Agree with previous poster to support.
    • Hi!! Moving house soon so looking for some cardboard boxes. Anyone know of any shops or cafes that may be giving some away?
