I think the current Graun (I only read the fashion pages) position on Assange is that he's a dissembling, self-obsessed, anti-semite who should answer his rape charge. They've had a big falling out and all.


If Andy is found guilty it'll be another example of "the help" taking the hit. Just as the Spad "Snowy" Smith did for Tintin.


Right, kids?

Nettie - IMO Cameron's judgement has been pretty much proven terrible as some of his critics said before, he doesn't need anything stuck on him as much as that'd have you wetting your pants.


And if you want to be tribal...Now, War crimes THAT is something that should be stuck on a recent PM and his Head of Communications (and Cambell's downright hypocracy and faux moral outrage in front of Leverson did really make me want to puke) There's two people RIGHT THERE who have done more harm to politics in this country than Cameron has yet had a chance to...bet you weren't banging on aboiut nailing them? They're maggots, Cameron's just a lightweight who seems to be getting worse.

A lot of people "gunning" for coulson and hunt will also have spent much of the last 10 years gunning for Blair. A lot of people hate the stench of corruption regardless of which house it stems from. The liberals on here have largely spent the existence of the forum hating Blair. There is no liberal conspiracy to hate "that" lot and defend "the other" lot



It's one thing to berate tribalism, but very hard to unite when some people appear to be so bent on divisiveness

I have seen numerous post on here and facebook from several (not from your good self I hasten to add) berating anyone who voted Liberal Democrat in the last election whilst I presume many of those beraters voted for a party that in its last two terms rode roughshod over our democracy; introduced a horrible sort of 'presidentism'..withoiut the checks and balances of the US; took media manipulation and spin to a new level including lying to get us into a dodgy war that has cost 100,000s of lives; made changes to our civil rights that had stood for years; etc etc etc...and yet, and yet. "anyone who vpted liberal democrat should take a long hard look at themselves in the mirror"...makes me laugh


The tories communication is so poor that it's almost refreshing :))

    • The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence.  Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.
    • Do you mean that there are only very few trades people and that all of their thousands of happy customers post glowing reviews but most of them have only ever posted once to recommend said trade person on the trade person's own thread?   If so, I agree it's mysterious.  
    • Oh now you're coming over all defensive. What happened to the nice Sue, because since the early part of the year your approach seems to have changed and you've become much more challenging. No you have not broken any rules and even if you had why would I involve Admin, that's a ludicrous thing to say.  Take care Sue. 
    • I was the opposite of you. I never felt particularly happy around Brixton late at night - I didn't know it that well. Do you remember the name of the late- night Irish pub opposite the railway arches near the BR station? Was it Mulligan's? Brannigan's? To be fair, until the East London Line extension, Rye Lane walking south wasn't a favourite of mine after dark either. The only pub left on there was The Hope, which was in the other direction. It felt very bleak. I think that makes a huge difference. When The Gowlett was boarded up, Amott Road felt very different. It's like a beacon now. Pub violence does seem to have had its day in inner London. Maybe it's a result of the disappearance of pool tables, flat-roofed pubs and cheap Stella offers. I bet you could still find a Saturday night kick-up in New Addington or the  Becontree estate in Dagenham. Definitely. Pubs next to stations, kebab shops and ironically named nightclubs are all to be avoided in smaller places. The weirdest place I've ever had random trouble was in a club in St. Ives in Cambridgeshire.  I think it was called 'Options'. It was the only club there.  See also 'Jekylls' nightclub in Hyde, Manchester - a truly dreadful place where getting thrown out for fighting was infinitely preferable to spending the evening in there and coming out stinking of stale chip fat. I took a kicking in 'Kingsway Kebabs' in Swansea after a night in 'The Aviary' (so named because it was 'full of birds') nightclub. But that wasn't so random. It was a local girl, who gave me a leathering because I'd run off for a large chicken doner, rather than dance with her to 'Criticize' by Alexander O'Neal. Sorry, Sue, I've digressed a little.  To answer your question, I think London feels relatively safe overall.
