True and it was very nice of the church to recognise their mistake, but it would have been better if they'd realised their error in getting involved with politics before reaching for the tinderbox.

RMweb Premium Annie Posted June 15, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 15, 2023 Glenda Jackson died today. 😢 (From Didcot's Farcebook Page) Among her acting roles was a lead in The Incredible Sarah, about the early life of the actress Sarah Bernhardt. Some scenes for this were filmed at Didcot in 1975, where the engine shed represented stations at Dover and Paris. The picture shows Glenda Jackson in costume as Sarah, with locomotive 7808 in the decorated engine shed entrance. 10 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buhar Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Mr Pie's opinions have been previously noted by the Parish Council. I think his thoughts today are useful. Even more extreme swearing than usual, so please bear in mind if you click. Alan 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium figworthy Posted June 15, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 15, 2023 Returning to Ms. Dorries for a moment (sorry about that), I think the problem is that it appears that she was made a promise by a politician, and believed it.

monkeysarefun Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 At least the UK and the US get interesting news stories out of the various local goings on at the moment. In comparison, one of the lead story on the Sydney Morning Herald website yesterday was that you can now scan your iphone ticket app at train barriers without having to unlock the screen first. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearholmer Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Interesting to see the newspaper headlines this morning: completely polarised views of The Downfall. The front pages would be worth framing as a set for a school Year 7 lesson, because together they tell pretty much all you need to know about bias in UK newspapers. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good value for your licence fee, even if they are based on the now-tired conceit of a comedian hosting a radio phone-in. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwardian Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 (edited) Of course I realise why Piers Morgan is taking this line; he and his loony libertarian friends hated the lockdown restrictions; it's the thought of Boris getting away with flouting rules that he, Morgan, disliked and resented that exercises Morgan so much. The fact that these rules were imposed reluctantly and late by Johnson despite medical advice to do so earlier is one of life's little ironies. The fact that Morgan objected to rules imposed to save people's lives shows what a colossal expletive he was and still is, world without end amen. Still, to see these unconscionable swine turning on one another is quite astonishing. Edited June 16, 2023 by Edwardian Spelling! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hroth Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Well, at least there's one thing to be said for "Pinnochio" Boris, he may be a serial truth bender and Daily Wail columnist, but he's not quite as mouth-frothingly insane as Mad Vlad, who's not only supplying nukes to the equally insane Belarus regime, but is also giving speeches declaring that he's got more nukes than the West...

Yes, but in Vlad's defence, Russia's democratic tradition was a 5 minutes interval before the next Strong Man arrived, whereas Boris is the product of some 300 years of Parliamentary democracy. That makes any excuse for him vanishingly hard to find. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
