    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Have Tory MPs considered that their 'loyalty' to Johnson can only be rewarded by voters if it is endless. That they'll be stuck with him? When is the right time for No Confidence? If they eventually oust him they will be seen as backstabbers by Johnson fans and as self-interested opportunists by...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It would be nice if Johnson fans were just honest enough to say, 'Our lot were born to rule. We won, you lost We like Johnson best. We don't care what he's done - we're sticking with him.' The pathetic justifications shame us all - those that make them and the fact that the rest of us are...

    Jimmy Saville Doc on Netflix

    Can I add, socially "weak" young men were also victims back then, especially if they were gay or on the margins - although not of Savile, AFAIK - as the Dennis Nilsen case demonstrates

    Jimmy Saville Doc on Netflix

    Nobody cared about his victims. He was protected by the entitlement of rich men and women. Socially "weak" young women and children were routinely disregarded during the period he was active as all the abuse scandals and the 'Me Too' movements make clear. His victims were not important and had...

    You're right. Governments should have limited powers to affect private assets. But, in times of war governments give themselves special powers. I would argue that we should be "at war" with Putin and his gangsters. I would rather freeze or confiscate assets than send bombs and bullets or send...

    Free speech except for luvvies, footballers and anyone woke. Oh, and the BBC, and "hypocrites", they better shut it, unless they live blameless lives and, even then, we don't want any preaching or virtue signalling. And experts, we've had enough of their graphs, scaremongering forecasts and...
