Tories once revered the 'sovereignty' of Parliament and the 'independence' of the Judiciary - but this ultra-Right-wing rabble only respect these institutions if they directly serve the Government's agenda; otherwise they are to be denounced. suspended or ignored.

Another despicable Tory toff who privately hates the working-class people who still think that he's on their side against the Establishment. Also a fake patriot; he moved his Somerset Capital Management investment company to Dublin to avoid the fall-out from the Brexit that he enthusiastically...

The Seig Mail will be retrieving its "Enemies of the People" headline for a 15-page diatribe tomorrow about the 'liberal elite' who "hate their country".

Only a couple more months of this :thumbsup:

So much for the trickle-down of wealth that is supposed to accrue from granting huge pay rises and salaries to the rich!

If a Tory swore, they'd claim it showed they were 'human' or down-to-earth, but anyone else, and it is 'evidence' of being vulgar and uncouth, and declining moral standards. The Tories' arrogance, hypocrisy and sheer nastiness are inexhaustible.

Apparently, half-decent pay rises for public sector workers would fuel inflation by injecting 'too much' money into the economy - yet the multi-million pound salaries, bonuses and dividends regularly paid to private sector CEOs and shareholders don't case inflation, it seems :rolleyes:

Tomorrow's lesson... :thumbsup:

We watched some of on TV last night - thought The Pretenders, Sparks (still going strong in their 70s), and the Manics were superb. Whereas most headliners at festivals naturally do a greatest hits set, the Manics bucked the trend by actually playing a couple of lesser-played tracks off The...

Me and Mrs Peteinblack both remarked that she looked better than she's ever done. Plus she was clearly enjoying herself.

Even if they locate the 'sub' soon, I'm not sure what they could do, sadly. Its too deep, and the water pressure far too strong (several tons), to send down divers - they would be crushed by the weight of the water at that depth. And if they sent down another sub-aquatic machine, how would it...

Feeding the squirrels in the park 10 minutes walk from our house.

Have got the maximum holding, so obviously increased chance of winning something. Usually win £25-50 most months, but in April I won £350 and in May £275. This month £50. I love the sense of anticipation on the 2nd working day of each month when I log-on to check if I (and Mrs Peteinblack)...

Genuine question - not trying to be goady Many people are struggling with rent increases imposed by (often greedy) landlords - should private-rental tenants also receive government support if they struggle with higher rents? Problem is, any support or financial aid for either mortgage-payers...

The "They're all the same" claim is such nonsense, yet the Hard Right in Britain and the US keep repeating it. It is such an insult to our intelligence. For every act of wrong-doing involving a Labour, Lib Dem, or Green politician, there are dozens by Conservatives. This is not surprising...

Johnson and his sycophantic stooges are behaving just like the bullies I saw in the playground at Boundstone (Lancing) - always expect to get their own way, but if and when anyone stood up to them, they would scream that they were the victims being ganged-up against: "Sir, the other kids are...
