  1. Had be believing the world was infested with giant maggots and kept me out of the sea for a good few years.
  2. My thoughts on this are that she was referring to the Tory Party rather than the electorate. After this weeks shenanigans, I tend to agree with her. The Tory Party in its current form deserves no respect, and the aforementioned electorate will demonstrate this. As for the thread, yes, lawbreaking and extremism should be dealt with from whichever side of the political spectrum it manifests itself from. Angela Rayner's comment, however, does not constitute a threat to democracy.
  3. That and the power of suggestion imbued by the countless B-Movies, comics and TV programmes. And as you rightly point out, no credible evidence has been produced in this ultra modern age.
  4. Walks like a duck, quacks like duck?
  5. Not the first of such ilk to hide behind a flag...
  6. I don't disagree with this, her conviction especially, but isn't this what we should be expecting of our political leaders? I do not condone vandalism. In fact I read earlier this week that the Captain Mainwaring statue had to be repaired after it was vandalised, totally mindless. My footnote on this goes back to how polarising a figure she was, in life and death.
  7. Can't think of a politician of any colour that deserves statue, so I'd agree with the first part of your statement. She thought herself that what she was doing was right, and once that had solidified in her head, wild horses wouldn't drag her off course, which for a leader, is not an ideal trait when held in that extreme. And as mentioned above, she was deeply polarising. Personally, I don't hate her, or respect her, she was right about the Falklands, she might have had minor influence over Reagan, but no more, she played bit a part in ending the cold war but there were other more dominating factors in that. However, it's quite obvious that you see her differently. So I'm expecting some kind of retort. Before you do, read the whole reply, and consider yours, we may disagree, but we don't have take that past anything other than debate.
  8. Made me laugh, but also made me feel like I was intruding on something...
  9. Rotherham look like they've thrown the towel in, and we have exploited it fully.
  10. As you know HF, his support doesn't come from normal people with enough intelligence to work things out. It has brought things into focus for me, that America has a large swathe of populace that are "dumb", to quote an Americanism.
  11. Not a dig Cambridge, but don't see the logic in this, if he's one game away from suspension, he's still available, it should, and I suspect will make no difference to Wagner's selection criteria.
  12. Agree with this, righting the injustice must be foremost in the mind of the team, I know they should be fully motivated anyway, but this should ratchet up the fire in the belly IMO.
  13. I'm surprised that there hasn't been much mention of the freeze in personal allowance, this is raising tax revenue in huge numbers. The biggest stealth tax in generations, and as ever is to the lower earners are the worst affected.
  14. Make your own judgement.
  15. As he kicked out after the challenge, will that constitute violent conduct?
  16. You are singularly not unique in failing to thoroughly read and understand what is written. I can assure I have not made a snap judgement regarding the subject, or subject matter in my post. Furthermore, how this comment leads you to believe I am sneering at "my own flag" and that I do indeed make "snap judgements" on those who do, is truly mystifying.
  17. Ah, good old patriotism makes an appearance, more likely the draping the flag around yourself through self interest, than a real love and loyalty for our country. Patriotism truly is the last refuge of the scoundrel when it is usurped in this fashion.
