They are calling Dave back in an attempt to make it look like they are the old Tory party.
There's nobody else left.
I'm trying to work out whether bringing back 'call me Dave' is a masterstroke or the actions of a madman.
See my reply to the plonker above.
Would you like a tall one or a short one?
Don't tempt him. It could get messy.
I should probably edit the florid nicompoopery.
See @Guinness Boy, he's come all over Andrew Pierce. Ooh err.

When I went to pick up my prescriptions earlier there was a bloke in front of me getting a touch aggressive with the staff in his frustration about the medication for he and his wife not being available.

On leaving he shouted that it was a disgrace that 'they' had got rid of 'Floella Benjamin'.

Ha!

I was on a military scholarship as we were a feeder school for Sandhurst. Put me off the military.

I was also poor. And rich kids can smell poor.

Without going into detail, to this day I view people with wealth with suspicion.

Nowhere near as bad, and good education as I got, free school meals was very very obvious from the moment you I arrived at HCGSB @Harry Wilson's tackle ?

I didn't notice it at all (whether kids were paying for school meals or not if that's what you mean).

I was there from 69 to 76. There was certainly one lad in my class who would deffo have had free school meals (single mother, council house), but I never 'noticed' it. One of the smelliest boys in the class (when we had Ross as form master) was from one of the richest families (lived across the road from Cloughie). I found HGSB to be quite egalitarian. We were all little pricks of one sort or another. @monty uk will confirm. I was definitely a yob/oik, with long hair and a tie knotted at nipple level, but I didn't feel looked down on. I relished it. Albeit god-bothering Mr Crohn never spoke to me nor acknowledge me after I got a grade 1 in my chemistry GCE, him having labelled me a godless little shit, doomed to failure :lolol:

71-76 (they didn't want me to stay on). It was a separate queue for the 12 of us (out of 600) on free school meals, but I always knew you Easthill lot were posh.

Of course I'm not bittter :wink:

Floella Benjamin would have done a brilliant job as Home Secretary, a job which needs a light touch. She is a gentlewoman in every sense.

Foredown Drive, me. Easthill Park was our nearest place to kick a football (pitch covered in dog shit 24/7 of course). Not conspicuously posh.

That was weird about the free meals. It absolutely passed me by. There again, it may show I was a socialist, blind to the indignities of the proletariat. Blind, but not indifferent. No....that's not possible. Perhaps I was simply indifferent. :ohmy:

(I got a Full Grant at uni so my family weren't exactly flush. I had crisp sandwiches for 'tea' after school. With Shippams fish paste.)

Absolutely ... and was legitimate in being in the House of Lords before the desperate ignobling (sp) of certain to high office.

Wonderful woman

Nor me, and I suffered it '73 to '80.

Must have walked past you hundreds of times on my way to St Mary's School from Fairway Crescent (before we moved to Southwick). Used to kick around in Easthill Park as well.
One of my pals at HGSB (also a former St Mary's boy) lived on Fairway Crescent. Haven't seen him for 50 year. Rick Harrington. Had an older brother he hero worshipped ('my brother Mart'). Rick (and I) were Leeds supporters (age 12). Mart was Chelsea. We were all Brighton. Ish. :wink:

Not a name I remember. Most of the lads I hung around with were those who got together on the back lane where the bins were behind us and Deacons Drive. The 'Back Lane Boys' as we styled ourselves....

I was at Stanley Deason and had to pay for school meals. We were the ones that stood out.

Looks like those arsenal goons shouting “terrorist ****” have been found and arrested:


Not sure why someone who lives walking distance to Bournemouth would support a London team, may as well support Manu.

Ex-cabinet minister Nadine Dorries said the responsibility laid with Rishi Sunak and she also suggested that, as a women in high office, criticism of Mrs Braverman was "steeped in misogyny and sexism"

No Nadine, that's not the case!!! She's being criticised because she's spent the last week inciting violence and hatred!! Comments like that put equality back years. What a complete and utter shitshow that is getting worse 🤦‍♀️

Absolutely.
it‘s not because she is a woman, it’s because she is what apparently some officials in the Home Office described her as they celebrated when they heard she was sacked - an incompetent moron.
Personally, for the most part I would half expect a normal woman to be better than a normal man at this sort of job.

I think all evidence suggests geography probably isn’t their strong point
