"So Nige, mate. Welcome. Can I start by asking what makes you a 'man of the people'? Is it your expensive private education at Dulwich College? Your career as a commodities trader in the City? Your personal fortune of £ millions? Your recent account with Coutts, the bank used by the Royal...
When we were playing Leicester a few years ago, I thought we were totally dominating the game, because the commentator kept saying excitedly "It's all Brighton" - until I realise he was referring to another attacking run by the Leicester player Marc Albrighton :facepalm:
I made the mistake at looking at her Facebook pages (she has more than one) to see who she is.
Describes herself as an 'Influencer' (probably the most useless 'job' ever), and virtually every post is a photo or video-clip of her pouting or prancing in a thong or low-cut top, often stood in...
Thing is, when Labour screw-up, the Party's supporters will quite rightly give them a bollocking.

I'm a great fan of both Will Hutton and Peter James.
Me and Mrs Peteinblack love the Peter James' Roy Grace series, mainly because of all the local references and landmarks: streets in Brighton and Hove, local pubs and restaurants, Shoreham Port, Devils' Dyke, etc.
