I think our athletes will be competing for GB and Northern Ireland and to me, the village is typically that of an English village (although it’s nothing like the Suffolk village I used to live in where the kids were usually stoned on the village green.)

There’s four nations that make up GB and Northern Ireland so why can’t the ceremony be…[Read more]

Come on Holland – daze the Germans and sauce some goals. :D

Oh I certainly agree with you there punda, and believe me I can be as instinctively cynical as most, although I do try to fight the urge.
The only difficulty I have with your point is the theory that more would be made of this in the media if it were anyone else. As you can see I believe the polar opposite to be true in this…

I thought England were lucky not to lose. Welbeck deflected a shot that was destined to make it 2.1 France.

Then there’s Milner’s poor finishing and sloppy back pass. I thought we looked better when Defoe came on.

And why won’t our players shoot from distance?

Maybe in two years time under Hodgson we’ll be a real force at the World Cup.

Well, the connections between politics and the media certainly can’t be denied, especially when one considers the events and revelations of recent years.
However I do find it mystifying to assume that anyone else in this instance would receive MORE media heat?
Wouldn’t that mean the papers would be bulging every week with such…

who leaked the story?………….and why wait so long? :lol:

The former, I don’t know, the latter, well it’s old news, happened a few weeks ago, best reveal it when Brown is at the Leveson inquiry. :wink:

Bamboozled to be sure! 8)

But seriously punda.. Do you honestly think that if it were any other family in this instance, there would be MORE media attention?

Yes.

Not a lot of media attention in this case due to a media cover up.

Who pulls the media strings in this country?

*picks up Pepper’s case and rummages through it looking for bamboo.

Would Cameron have been so forgetful if the minimum pricing plan for alcohol had been in place? :-

I personally think that if this had been any other family, there would have been a media fuss and possibly some involvement from the authorities.

But it’s the Prime Minister and his wife, therefore, they couldn’t possibly be capable of child neglect, could they? :-s

Who knows what type of parents they are, they might be wonderful parents but we…[Read more]

The thing about Cameron is, surely the security guards should have done a head count for the family.
I don’t blame them but surely that’s fundamental to being a body guard?

In addition, if a school child had been left behind on a school trip would it have been brushed aside by the media? Would the parents have been understanding?

The second you realise what you have done you can’t run fast enough back….luckily my friend was on her way to my house, with the baby and pushchair! It feels like it only happened yesterday its so vivid and…

Having Kittens

As in panic or become anxious

In medieval times women got panicked because they actually thought they were going to give birth to kittens!

I agree but you know it won’t happen. It was kept pretty low key in the media as well.

I love the way the security staff were under scrutiny. At least they won’t face disciplinary action.

Seems the Cameron’s are typical of many parents these days – unwilling to take responsibility for their own kids.

It’s rather disturbing that this guy runs…[Read more]
