Sorry nx. Let?s try again


https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/articles-reports/2020/07/23/conservative-party-members-stand-boris-would-vote-


Nope. That doesn?t work either. But if I manually paste link to a browser it does


Anyway. Try Googling ?yougov party members Boris?

I found a yougov page that said 3/4 of general Tory membership supported Boris aeons ago but I?m not sure of the point you?re trying to make? General Tory membership do not participate in any vote of confidence and do not draw up any shortlist of two for a new Tory Leader. The general Tory membership I?m sure did not want to see Thatcher ousted but ousted she was (hurrah).


ETA Anyway, thinking about it further, Cummings walking out of no. 10 with a box supposedly containing his belongings was just a very public way of announcing he is now available for new employment and I?m afraid he?ll be receiving a lot of offers, hopefully outside of government.

Oh my

Are we all failing to see the obvious


Tonight "I'm a celebrity" starts and as well as the 10 famous ? people in a Welsh castle, they also need a pantomime villain to give the audience someone to Boo


Of course I could be wrong but "he's behind you ..."

I'm trying to educate myself: can anyone help? Apart from a string of motifs for t-shirts and kids' phone cases, ...


"Timber Tots promotes children's imagination and interaction

Collect the Squirrel family: The Nut-Nuts!

Include the 4 characters from the Nut-Nut family"


looks like a possible source. Is that likely?


And while I'm here, on my way there I found myself traversing the Mail Online and some lime-green nipple tape. I hadn't realised it came in different colours. Do they signify, or is it simply a personal choice-of-the-day sort of thing?

Meanwhile this greedy piece of hypocrisy is making people on minimum wage pay for the meals of kids whose parents obviously couldn't afford to have them in the first place! As well as depriving several families from purchasing their own homes. Bravo the Daily Mail who actually received criticism for printing the article...


https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8949391/Campaigning-football-star-Marcus-Rashford-bought-five-luxury-homes-worth-2million.html

The criticism is more about the cack-handed and obvious briefing against Marcus Rashford by this government who would rather blame him for making them look bad and forcing them into a U-turn than their own unwillingness to engage in the issue of meals outside term time when it first came up.


Someone mentioned to me that this was coming (the anti-Rashford briefings) last week and I thought "they wouldn't be so stupid, would they?". Turns out they would.

I did see that he has patented his name in the States, allowing him to use his brand for such thing as 'grooming products' - it all looks rather nefarious to me....


Sorry just using this to show how ludicrous the DM/DH article is. I'm sure we are all aware that grooming products refers to hair and face care.

Boris has gone back into isolation in No10 now it seems after not wearing a mask when meeting an MP (Kay Burley said "Oh Dear" when Hancock suggested they don't wear masks in No10).


Who's going to be the leader without Cummings and Cain. Maybe Allegra Stratton and Carrie Symonds will run the show - they seemed to be the opposition to Cain and Cummings laddish culture..

Since our resident racist doesn't understand the meaning of hypocrisy, here's an example from the same newspaper, another article about a wealthy young footballer doing the sensible and right thing and buying property to protect his and his family's future. The difference being this is portrayed as a positive thing whereas Rashford's isn't. I wonder why?...

Yet more hypocrisy, the same newspaper has run positive articles on another, now retired, footballer, Robbie Fowler, who has built up a property empire to such an extent he ended up in the top 100 Rich List, and runs courses at circa ?1k a head to learn how he did it. Clue, he's a wealthy ex-footballer.


A reminder, Jonathan Harmsworth, 4th Viscount Rothermere and billionaire owner of The Daily Mail, pays no UK tax whatsoever because he channels his money through offshore accounts. Here's one of his weekend boltholes...

Crikey, ianr, many reasons to keep away from the Mail, but are they actually recommending this tape ??!!

In deed, and another selfish young non-specific ethnicity footballer (Tosin Adarabioyo) daring to buy a home. Not sure why they didn't put him in digs with a nice landlady/lord

I'll not look any further as it is too easy to expose the DH. Although nipple tapes do sound exciting.

That Phil Foden article was used by Raheem Sterling to highlight how differently the Mail portrayed him and Foden both buying their Mum an expensive house. Foden was portrayed positively, while Sterling was portrayed negatively. Both wealthy young footballers who could afford to do it, only difference being their ethnicity. I'll give the Mail the benefit of the doubt (yeah, I know) that their criticism of Rashford wasn't based on ehnicity, but there's no disputing that articles like that knowingly send a dogwhistle to racists to spout their bile, as witnessed above...

Uncleglen - how come you didn't slag-off the rich white football players buying expensive homes at ?2m EACH, not 'five for ?1.5m' ?!

You'll not have the spine to answer this, so let's just leave the question hanging there...

Sorry to digress again from Cummings but...


How much does it actually cost to feed a kid with a daily lunch by the way? I'm guessing it can't be much. I'm alright with forking out some loose change day to day but what confuses me is how large companies (eg. techs) can enjoy profiting from our infrastructure, paid for by we the people and for generations, without them helping out more on stuff like school meals. Have I misinterpreted the situation? I am I becoming a leftie? Or is it just logic...


I just find it amazing that a few very wealthy people, sometimes based here and usually based everywhere, have become so much more wealthy in 2020 (and because of 2020) and yet we can't give all the kids a bit of simple food. Just seems nuts. And in the long term don't the big corps want healthy customers with a bit of disposable to keep the exchanges going in the future?

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
