IKEA. Went for the first time for 25 years. Will be another 25 years til I go again. Reminded me of Dante's circles of Hell.

Well Labour have more women and ethnic minorities on their front bench but I suspect the dinosaur "Labour should represent the working man" attitudes hold Labour back. You only have to read this thread to see "old fashioned" attitudes to women are still prevalent on the left. And the idea that...

Of the 65 ethnic minority Members, 41 (63%) are Labour and 22 are Conservatives (34%). Ref. from first link above

The Tories being more diverse - sex and race is nonsense https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn01156/

Won't both the final two be the ones the largest Tory party donors want? Not a conspiracy theory just reality. They can't afford to let the swivel eyed members have any leeway. For that reason I think it will be two of Truss, Sunak, Wallace, Mordaunt. But a lot can change in the coming weeks if...

Ruthless bunch the Tories, aren't they? Why now? Want to keep their seats but zero principles. Johnson hasn't changed so if they backed him they share his failures. Will people fall for another Tory rebrand?

The Tories have nothing and nobody. They are a hollowed out husk. They exist only to win elections not to govern. Sadly c. 30 per cent of people either have not noticed or don't care.

That's because they've literally got nothing else.

So it begins

Really not getting this idea of skipping Charles for William. It's nonsensical. Do you really think Charles has waited over 70 years just to abdicate? Farcical. As things stand William will have to wait 20+ years by which time he will be in his 60s and the monarchy likely won't exist, at least...

Point of order - Hippies generally were white, middle class and privileged, at least in the 60s / 70s. Hence the phrase 'drop out'. They were the ones who could afford not to work and to go off to communes in West London, California, Ibiza etc.

Panorama BBC2 at 7pm. Being bigged up as a big exposè.

How can 'Dislikeable' be a criterion except in a popularity contest? If you don't like someone you've never met and have only seen through the distorted lens of mass media, and admit this openly, it says you're a prejudiced no-brain.

Politics is in a very strange place. The future of our government is in the hands of - how 2 police forces apply the Covid laws - how the tabloid hacks report and spin their decisions - how much attention the electorate pay to the findings and tabloid spin - how our politicians respond to all...

We love a liar but hate a hypocrite? One openly f#c€s us over, makes and breaks rules and lies & blusters. The other argues for a fairer society in a boring voice and makes a minor breach of the rules (allegedly) - has to go. Then we will always be ruled by liars. God help us all.

They are entitled to their beliefs but they should use rational, secular arguments that everyone can respect. They are not entitled to expect other people to live by their specific faith based morals. The way these people turn a blind eye to the morals of folks on their side (Eg. Trump) tells...

They call themselves 'pro-life' when they're actually 'pro-birth'. Once you're born they don't give a sh!t about you. Some Conservative voices here (eg. Tims Montgomerie and Stanley) are expressing the view that we, in UK, should be having a debate about abortion. This is where the dark money...

If it's fair to criticise O'Hare for his finishing (and it is) it is also fair to criticise Hamer for most of his killer passes being astray or blocked IMO. If we retain them, both need to improve this aspect of their game. It would take us to the next level. PUSB
