Malicious evil???? come now. apart from being delicious (seriously, I couldnae speak in his presence) the brains, integrity and moral fibre have surely got to count for something? (the oleaginous Blair would just slide right off)

Tricky job in this current climate, not sure hes the man but I dont know who else would be. Untill the current bad odour from usa is passed its tough, impossible even to fully concentrate on what we need in this country, I personally think. Brown? good luck to him but no chance really. Im sure he as a lot of ideas of what hed like to do. Who knows when the next call from washington will be for support. He cant say no can he? All sorts of financial pressure to kow tow. plus he lurves Thatcho and of course she was big on 'special relationship'. I couldnt stand the sight of Brown at first , had that look of someone trying to pull the wool over your eyes, waffle self confidently as if he knows what the answers are. However, when i found out that

he had facial surgery from an accident and a broken eye, I realised that really contributes to some of the expressions he pulls. Some of the ones that make you think "twot". That aint fair so, give him a chance I guess. Im aware that 'pulling out troops' is soon followed by ..sending some more out. thats the pressure.

She was determined to go to war no matter what, and attempts by the Americans to head it off by diplomacy were brushed aside. Still it won the next election for her...

Blair, Major, Thatcher, Heath even. They all enjoyed being PM. I just don't think his hearts in it. He looks very unsure of himself and comes across as completely unconvincing, to me. Just read Private Eye and his (GB's) brother is head of media relations at EDF (the French energy firm) who look like they are going to be building all these new Nuclear power stations no one wants. Have I missed something?

      Fatality Dulwich (Seeley Drive, SE21)

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      A couple of updates to this terrible event:   1) In 2021, two cousins (one from Penge and one from Streatham) were convicted of murder and sentenced to a minimum of 23 years in prison. The Southwark News has a summary of the awful day. https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/dulwich/donnell-rhule-dulwich-knife-murderer-cousins-sentenced-to-life-for-killing-18-year-old/    2) Last week, a female prison officer from Forest Hill was sentenced to eight months in prison for pursuing a relationship with one of the two murderers while at HMP Brixton. https://metro.co.uk/2025/12/15/probation-officer-admits-relationship-prisoner-hmp-belmarsh-25501445/ https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/38203627/probation-officer-jailed-illicit-relationship-murderer-secure-prison/

      Has anyone had any joy contacting Helen Hayes out MP?

      By ianr · Posted

      The Commons Public Accounts Committee questioned both the CEO and MD of Capita yesterday, at their last meeting before the recess:  https://committees.parliament.uk/event/25889/formal-meeting-oral-evidence-session/.  In October they'd already expressed concern that Capita might not  be able to efficiently retake over responsibility for the administration within the timescale. Given the joint statement recently issued by Capita and the Cabinet Office I'm not sure that contacting an MP is going to add much, other than venting what I think most of us can probably appreciate of what those affected are likely  to be thinking and feeling; unless perhaps, and I hope it's not needed, to report on deficiencies in the immediate rescue actions.

      She's responded, but I'm sure I read something in the Guardian consumer advice column. Might be some pointers if you're stuck

      The going home for the weekend song thread...come on you groovey foookers

      Two for Ratcliffe, the obvious one:   And one simply because it has the word  "You are nothing but blind fascists" in it.  Oh and a good song too.   Haven't listened to this for years.  Bloody good!
