Not any more.

On the ‘best of a bad bunch’ basis I’ll be voting Labour in May.

where have all the characters in politics gone? The ones that made it interesting?

Set me thinking of these interesting characters…….
As well as Enoch Powell and Tony Benn already mentioned…..

So 1007 large wind turbines – realising these are approx 90 metre diameter turbines – thats a hell of a lot of space – where do you suggest putting them ???

8 years on, the question can now be answered. Miles out to sea off the coast of Suffolk. The Greater Gabbard offshore windfarm has a capacity to generate half as much electricity as…[Read more]

Fascists tend to believe that other nations are inferior to their own.

Not a huge amount of difference there, then!

True Fascists do not believe in going against the will of the people;

…because true fascists tell the people what their will must be!

….Something really needs to change. Where to start though and is it to late?

If it had been possible for ordinary people to change society for the better, we’d have done it years ago. Increasingly, the best cards are held by the rich and powerful in Britain, and the trend of growing inequality is likely to continue as long as life for ordinary…[Read more]

Bored so thought id ask people if you had to sleep with 3 people of the same sex celebrity wise who would it be ???

I’m a straight man, so if I had to sleep with 3 people of the same sex they’d all be female!* they’d all be slim and about 5ft 6in, they’d all have long dark hair and olive complexion and they’d all have big brown eyes and they’d…[Read more]

Funny, I don’t remember posting that, and I don’t really collect toothbrushes. But if I did, I would collect new toothbrushes still in their packaging, as they would be more likely to increase in value that way :lol:

no one wants to see the small business go under

I always shop at supermarkets. In my experience smaller businesses offer an inferior choice at higher prices. I don’t care about the ‘high street’ and what happens to it, I care about convenience, quality and value for money. And that is what most people care about, which is why the supermarkets…[Read more]

I remember when Milky Way bars were the size of current Mars Bars, while Mars Bars themselves were the size of ‘king size’ Mars Bars.

Reviving this old thread 6 years on……

People have voted with their feet… This is only the second post on this board in this month, and we’re 2/3 of the way through it.

This bears out what people say in the old thread – people aren’t really interested in chatting…[Read more]

This is a bit like the fall of the Iron Curtain regimes in the 1980’s.

Cameron calls Ed Balls “A muttering idiot”

The pot calls the kettle black.

OK, that one’s a joke.

I think dreams are drawn from random things in our minds – things that have made us happy or cross or sad or things we worry about. I don’t think dreams…[Read more]

Wrong to medicate without consent, but not really that dangerous.

What about chlorination of water, then? Very small amounts of this deadly poison has been added to our water for decades and there’s no fuss because without it we’d probably still be at risk of typhoid and cholera. And yet people do make a fuss about flouride. Why the difference?

Hard-line Irish republicans were angered by the visit, but I imagine that hard-line Ulster loyalists would have been too -…[Read more]

I use it, I’ve belonged for a few years and uploaded photos etc, but it’s like it’s something from the mid 1990’s

Where is the customisation? Where’s the choice of coloured backgrounds? Where’s the choice of typefaces?

I’m not anti-Welsh – like I say I’m part Welsh myself and I can speak a bit of Welsh although I’ve forgotten more than I remember.

Looking at the UK, why do the Celts always appear to be more passionately patriotic than the English?

Genetically, the Welsh are scarcely any more ‘Celtic’ than the English. Throughout Britain, among people of longstanding British ancestry, Celtic and pre-Celtic genes are predominant. What happened in England is that the Angle and Saxon…[Read more]

when Fascism returns, it will be under the guise of opposition to Fascism

I dare say the far-left and the far-right have infiltrated each other’s organisations.

Remember there’s something that unites the far-left and the far-right, and it’s something bigger than mere political ideals, it’s extremism itself. Extremism is the driving force, people…[Read more]

I want a serious career in politics.

I think that would be very difficult for anyone who’s ever been a BNP activist!

I suppose you could always try writing to George Galloway :D

As for gay people becoming parents or adoptive parents, many would make very good parents, probably. But the problem I foresee in many cases is that a child of two gay dads is likely to get picked on and bullied at school. So is it fair to put the parents’…[Read more]

As I get older I find I have less and less respect for religions.

At the end of the second ‘great’ war most people had had enough and our great leader Churchill was kicked out.

Churchill did get a second bite of the cherry, as he became prime minister again in the mid 1950’s, when he was over 80. He should have quit while he was ahead and left politics as a war hero on a ‘high’ in 1945, but instead he ended…[Read more]
