That’s bizarre.

I’m a Thatcherite now!

Ah, well, anything goes with these people.

I’m not in favour of the death penalty for theft.

It’s a crime, for sure, and needs to be punished.

Sometimes you have to use violence, and my guess is that when panicked you could even kill someone invading your house.

But I don’t believe in the death penalty for theft

That would be sharia law, wouldn’t it, Master Rudeboy?

Minford and his mates are prime movers of making Britain a Singapore-on-the-Thames. Get rid of unions, get rid of regulations to free up trade and bring back profits. That’s why they’re right-wing. That’s why Rees-Mogg looks to them. That’s why Thatcher looked to them.

They are free market. I’m pro-free trade. I’m not in favour of a totally free…[Read more]

The last word of the young lad who had a hole blown in him by Martin was ‘mum’.

Heart-rending when you think just a little about it.

Bootle is a member of the right-wing Economists for Brexit group, a free trade group whose most prominent member was Patrick Minford.

Minford was one of the masterminds of Thatcherism, which is why I call him right-wing.  Silly, biassed me. maybe Thatcher was wrong and she was left-wing really. Does it matter? Minford brought the same free…[Read more]

well, Paigey, that’s the danger, one of many ignored by these betrayed brexi-bigots.

There is a real chance that you may not need your irish passport to escape the joys of living in Brexit Britain, though *fingers crossed

and by the way, I assume you’re having big political quarrels????

Yeah, I see that about Rees-Mogg. He’s fun to watch, and he is a man of principle. But, the principles are bloody awful

I doubt I’ll ever be able to ask her for the specifics, but she’s a brave gal taking on a right-wing libertarian such as yourself

Really, I wish you both the very very best.

That’s right, Linda. That’s the real world.

We can throw our hands up in despair or we can get stuck in.

Here in the UK, we could very well be facing a major constitutional crisis – maybe.

Mrs May is trying her best but she’s been set an impossible task. She wants to leave the EU, and she has to respect the Good Friday agreement for an open…[Read more]

Interesting choice, M.

Bootle is one of the right-wing market economists looked to by Jacob Rees-Mogg, and is very keen on a no-deal solution.

Most people think no-deal would be a real problem, causing misery for large numbers of people, but hey, no pain, no gain .

So why do you think Bootle’s prescription for Britain being successful…[Read more]

I’m sorry you feel that way, Jamie.

You take good care now.

I have no idea who serendipity is, Jamie.

Jamie, do you feel I insulted you??

Linda doesn’t seem to think so.

Do you?

Thanks, Linda.

People may not have noticed, but I have many faults too.

And you enjoy your rest.

oh, better keep rude boy happy.

Linda, let me pm you please. oh Linda, Linda, please, please, let me pm you, please.  

But, Gerry, where has this happened??

I’ve not even answered the guy yet! I’m just pointing to statistics thatI’d not seen before and had to check.

But that doesn’t matter to you, does it, Gerry? You try different approaches – smashface politics, a facetious superiority, warning people not to read what I say. But the approaches always amount to…[Read more]

well, I hope it sits right now.

Let me know if it doesn’t.

And how typical of you to read the worst into it and refuse see any other meaning.

Jamie seems to have understood what I was talking about. She made a very personal complain about my attitude, and I answered her in a very personal way. What right do you have to butt in with your sarcastic comments?

If she’s not sure about my response, then…[Read more]

You’re far too touchy, maybe because you’re low.

You came under a lot of attack because of your style. People were saying over and over again that you were incoherent. You seem to be more direct in your stuyle these days.

I pointed out that it was your style – like a notebook.

People have attacked Jamie for her grammar.

I’m saying that her…[Read more]

You’re a lucky gal, Drac.

She sounds interesting.

Why does she love Moggy though? He makes me giggle, and I respect his sense of principle,  but I don’t love him.

I answered that above, Jamie.

I care about them, too, and I’ve just written a post to you on the Transgender thread which has grown to be used for things like that.

Have you ever wondered why a man totally lacking in empathy such as myself was supporting you, Jamie, and not making fun of your grammar?

I’ve lived a good part of my life in bad housing. And I mean bad – one of the worst slums in London, really bad. Not because I was slumming it, but because I was desperately trying to avoid homelessness.…[Read more]
