Might suit possession based football

Clary's got some catching up to do... preferred her with long hair

Perhaps its time to reintroduce the Borstal system ?

Agreed Education needs to evolve from learning facts to how to filter and use information, why learn the kings and queens when the likes of google and next, quantum computing, can supply the information in an instant?

Don't forget to dig up a gold paving flag and bring it back

We've had "eat out to help out" Now we've got "play out to help out" Thanks Rachel

Briefly looked at it and I get her point in a way... I once had a go at being a Parish Councillor and even at that level you could only address the chair, follow the constitution and debate endless amendment's and minutes of previous meetings. Non councillors (members of the public) could only address the meeting at a set time and for a limited time slot... result... nothing ever got done except take pages and pages of minutes. The local council format needs reforming, at present it is only fit for retired public sector managers

Who cares?

They fixed it in under an hour... a faulty copper compression washer, I didn't spot it when I took it out of the bag... a classic car garage I am friends with collected, fixed and are delivering it back today... all free of charge except for lots of piss-taking

Down to "massive" from "phenomenal"?

Looks like a nasty piece of work behind that shiny exterior Moir is just a columnist, he should rise above her taunts However Wilders is a closet Nazi, but if you want to be a PM...

Sounds like a manifesto promise... he needs a General Election

It all goes back to Cameron and Osborne's coalition... Austerity was the start of it all in my opinion, it disaffected the population and the popularists blamed Europe, then came covid and austerity hit PPE readiness, then mass unregulated immigration, all feeding the popularist fire

I believe Aristotle was its biggest supporter, I got into it after watching a C4 series some years ago

We agree on something... been saying this for years, a modern parliament with accommodation/office suites attached at the NEC or somewhere like that. Disney would take the existing building, stick a monorail or travelator in it and have holograms of Churchill giving one of his we'll fight them on the beaches monologues and Guy Fawkes with barrels of gunpowder

I have long been an advocate of "Deliberative Democracy", research shows it produces the the best decisions and better support across diverse communities. For democratic decisions to be legitimate they must be independent and free of influence caused by uneven power or financial gains. Citizens Groups should be able debate locally and offer opinions to the central government, maybe central government should be more AI driven processing the devolved wishes.

You should've seen the state of my knuckles after fitting the brake hoses... it was only an MoT advisory, should've left it alone... decided to let a garage sort the rigid pipes where I can't get a seal

This is what happens when you attempt to fit new brake hoses to 30 year old worn and pitted pipes, piece of piss?

I always thought Cameron was the worst then came the rest...

The will of the people is packaged up every four years by idealogues into manifestos and then forgotten about... hardly democratic

Traditionally Brits were good at that, doffing their caps to nobility, but then came social media and the belief that everyone has a right to anything they wanted. Something like 80% of this country's wealth is still with less than 20% of the population, hereditary wealth through land ownership is massive, its held by the people the likes of you and me rarely if ever meet. They keep us thick poor people in their boxes by granting minor aspirations to avoid revolution.

Lucky lads... I'd bet the bar tab got some hammer that night

Get yourself an old MG

The "man of the people" owned 2 bed flat near Parliament (not bad eh?) and rented it out for profit to private tenants and then claimed 17k per annum expenses to rent a house in Kennington. Not quite duck houses in one's moat but it's the principle... Westminster is too large and corrupt and the majority of incumbents are taking the piss. Devolution of power is the way for the will of the people to be fully recognised.

The country can well do without this Westminster psycho-drama crap, there is far too much to do and it needs a stable government not these self serving set of c++ts. I actually hope Starmer sees them off and learns a lesson from all this. We are facing a major winter energy/gas shortage, interest on government borrowing spiraling, unemployed youngsters, people still going to foodbanks and the NHS' new leader James Murray facing militant doctors with a wobbly ship... and all these unpatriotic twats can think about is their own petty interest. Burnham is not a man of the people, don't forget he retreated to Manchester because he was caught on the fiddle as an MP. The London elite couldn't give a stuff about Makerfield and the north, it's sooo full of horrid northerners darling. Time to massively cut back the influence of Westminster and those over-blown "Downing Street" offices with unelected Chiefs of Staff and the like... it's not the White House
