    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    If Truss wins I am going to adopt her as my favourite and stick up for her whatever, like fools did with Johnson. She's doing her best. She's a good laugh. I like her. Everyone else would be worse. Stop being mean to her. Should be fun.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    As a woman, if I am expected to share a changing room with a transwoman (who possesses male genitalia) why shouldn't I also accept sharing said space with a man? You are asking me to accept on trust that inside the head of one is a female mind, but inside the other is a male mind. Bollocks. The...

    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.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    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...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    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.

    Jubilee

    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...

    Jubilee

    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.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    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.
