Eight months into the Labour government, and the headlines are all Trump, Russia, Ukraine, a developing (or not) peace deal, ramping up EU defence spending, with Starmer doing an excellent job by all accounts.
The Tories are nowhere near the headlines, without a sniff of winning any votes back.
So they manufacture a discussion for which the country, and this forum, just doesn't have the appetite.
The nation has far more important matters to consider - the defence of the realm.

The level of self interest and undue entitlement shown by @PILTDOWN MAN 's dog could be enough to gain her a place in the shadow cabinet. However, I guess she would fail the interview, as being a spaniel, she is probably affectionate and loveable.
I've read the article.
I'm somewhat perplexed as to why the media have picked up on it. Maybe it's a slow news day (as if you can have one of those in Trump world.)
It's a pile of gibberish as an article and a pretty pointless read. She's clearly trying to stir something.
The only point she makes is that she sees herself as British rather than English, in the same way as I see myself as from Sussex rather than from Yorkshire. At the end of the day, who gives a sh1t? There's a bloke in our village who is Welsh and who appears to have lived here for years and loves the place. He's not English and he doesn't want to be, but he seems to love life in Sussex.
Anyhow, I was going to get a dog, but f*ck me, having seen the problems they bring, forget it.

It wasn't really an invitation to 'discuss' was it.
'Mock' was the work I had in mind.
Shirly you knew that?

I wasn't *really* inviting a 'discussion'.
Do I have to put *everything* in 'quotes' now?
Sue Ellen is triggering another culture war and I thought it deserved some mockery.
Then I f***ed off to work and haven't been on NSC all day.
I salute @PILTDOWN MAN for engaging appropriately.

I am indifferent as to whether or not she is English; but what is not in dispute (imho) is that she is thicker than a Boxing Day turd.

The Brexit wilderness years. I think this must be the fallow period.
You reap what you sow. If you peddle hate, people will drift away from you.
People who hate other people is quite a narrow constituency anyway.

The last time the topic was discussed, everyone was arrested, and then thrown in jailProbably depends how one defines English.
How does one define it?
