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?

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
