"The world has really turned on him, he was the darling of comedy not long ago.


I've never been a huge fan, but he's made me laugh sometimes."


This ^


Plus anytime anyone ever sees him now is on some arena/theatre show and I don't like comedy in that atmos from anyone at all. But I saw him at the Tattershall castle a few times and he was pretty good

It's more what he stands for - more than the man himself - that I dislike. The triumph of competent middle-of-the-roadness, lapped-up by millions. Harmless but nondescript routines professionally packaged and delivered, like an M&S sandwich. The real problem is for every Michael Mac there are ten John Bishops on the way.

So very true. Hate both, never got either. Do they just define slapstick, which I also hate.


Just relieved I'm not the only one.....

I quite like the idea of being a crusty high court judge, but alas no! Usually just watch Netflix... very rarely turn on broadcast TV, except for Cbeebies occasionally!

Jeremy I must agree it isn't a very nice area at all, and yet it borders some rather wealthy Surrey/Kent/M25 border towns. I've always found it to be a bit rough around the edges. Many of the people who live there are from Croydon and Bromley council geographic areas though, and the few I know have always refered to it as a step up from where they came.

Petrol?! Oooh we used to dream of petrol! We had to make do with Paraffin; or snort the crumbs from the bottom of a box of firelighters.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By jazzer · Posted

      While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude.

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.
