    .... wonders why the second wealthiest country in Europe is the least generous in offering sanctuary to those fleeing war. I'm ashamed to be British.

      Not a new thing...why do you think so many have died trying to cross the channel in recent years? 

      So much more to be said on this subject but not much point on here, would just get a thread lock and a ban I fear.

      History my dear chap. Well the History imagined by a certain section of the 'ruling' society.

      Please don't be ashamed, be angry, determined and work for change.

    Numbers are funny things. Fifty can seem a generous number for some items but disgracefully small for others.

      I agree. Several noughts need to be added quickly.

      Apparently there's a shortage of bolt action Carcano rifles capable of firing multiple shots from several locations simultaneously.  Allegedly.

      As I recall the best to take out people who sit at the end of very long tables is to put your Walther into the end of their under table harpoon gun.....

      But it's just a single slice, there's the rest of the loaf as well and that will take a couple of years

      I have been party to a garden all throughout the pandemic but I can neither confirm nor deny that I have ever held a garden in any of my parties.

      People in public office (including councillors) set a tone and when they say things like that it gives a green light to others that such comments are considered to be acceptable. As such those in office should know better and refrain from such idiocy, even if it was meant in jest (and I'm not altogether sure I'd give him the benefit of that doubt).

    .... would like to thank those who made sensible discussion possible and would like them to know it has been greatly appreciated.

      I think a woman will do a better job. How about Mrs Mills. She could knock out a tune on her Joanna whist sorting out the NHS deficit.

      George Chisholm is also worth considering due to his experience sorting the troubled Black & White Minstrel problem and his role as "Chisholm MacChisholm the Steaming Celt" in the Macreekie Rising of '74'.

      An you lot thought Boatie Mcboatface was new.

      Doubt that will work. There are plenty of places - I'm thinking mostly Africa and the subcontinent - which will always be poorer still.

      Markets live: FTSE 100 finishes the week up more than 2pc after recovering from 8.7pc drop after Brexit referendum result.

    Hello Pete, still finding my way round the new place, is this where the left wing revolutionaries (ha, who am I kidding) hang out?
