The bogus asylum seekers are not included in the statistics.

Ever the optimist....

Slam doors, and smoking in the guard's van.

I have used that quote many times. Is it facetiousness? Not sure. But I find it mildly amusing to use it. :thumbsup:

Indeed. Albeit I was thinking more of the disaffected right wingers who are praying for a Starmer fail, when I posted my comment. (Meanwhile the extreme left are mainly obsessing about bringing to justice anyone who was nice to Tony Blair for war crimes by association. Weirdos.)

I find it odd that Labour-haters seem to get so much joy predicting the demise of the UK and the misery and suffering they appear to hope will ensue.

Monster Monster!

And the strength of single-mindedness eventually (always) becomes a weakness. And as you noted, the exact opposite of Prescott. He was perhaps the ultimate team player :thumbsup:

Directly, though. And perspective, though. And time and place, though. But do carry on. Someone somewhere is bound to agree with you.

That's more like it :thumbsup:

Silly comment. Why? Starmer has in fact copied Blair by having a 'person of the people' (with a bit of grit and a flappy mouth) as deputy. I am frankly disappointed that all the sniping on this thread has come from the left. It is as if the left (well, left of me, a Labour party member) resent...

Fair enough,. Not sure that a Prescott RIP thread is the best place to raise this however, if you were hoping to garner support for your chosen cause.

That's what I was thinking. I'm not sure I agree with all this 'blurring the lines' business. Either she did something illegal or not. There is a difference between diverting funds to profit from something, and profiting on the back of something (monetizing one's cachet, in effect). If she...

I was going to post the same. In fact Prescott, Benn and Thatcher all changed. Thatcher came to disagree with her party, changed and subsequently changed her party, shredding the post-war consensus. Benn was a good little minister in the 60s, till he fell in love with his own cleverness...

Ironic that it is only the extreme left that feels the need to put the boot in today.

Charismatic and always loyal to the leader. The former can feed overweening ambition in others, as we have seen. One couldn't help smirking when tory MPs 'order drinks' from him in parliament (he was a former ship's steward). But he took it in his stride. I was disappointed by his leg-over...

I see it's already been called off. Reminds me of this...

Every time I went into Virgin Records to buy this single in the 70s I just got funny looks and bafflement. Lucky it is now available on youtube. Perhaps they didn't understand my French accent :shrug:

Are you f***ing blind? ???

Let's call the whole thing off.
