Yes, Sym, but you forgot the prize appointment - the ever so diplomatic David Lammy as Foreign Secretary. I'm sure he'd appreciate you sending him your most up-to-date atlas so's he can find out where all the country names he's going to encounter actually are. Sadly, the reality will dawn on you before too long: for the most part, we've simply replaced one lot of Oxford PPEs with another lot wearing different rosettes. They are all tutored by the same bunch of globalist "liberals", have the same conformity of thought, and are entirely interchangeable. They despise you and your kind and have no interest in anything of significance changing. Our only chance of true salvation is actually "the grinning Frogface" and his newly elected "swiveleyed scragends" growing their base. Remember that the original and genuine Labour Party only got two MPs at their first outing, so this is a 250% improvement. Over the few next years we are going to see defections to Reform from all branches of the Westminster Uniparty. It's simply a rerun of history!

This is why Labour is in trouble from day one, and the next five years are going to be an utter mess. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/06/21/britains-debt-soars-highest-since-1961-general-election/ The only party that will tackle these astronomic debt levels is Reform! Reform won't punish ordinary people for what the establishment did to the country. The deep cuts need to be to bloated government and the hundreds of totally useless quangos with their non-jobs for the politically favoured - not to front line services. Immigration also factors into the vast overspend. Discuss...

Ticks a box for me in any election! If it's really as good as the BBC wants us to believe, then loads of people will pay voluntarily - won't they?

I happened to catch a segment on MSNBC last night where they were slamming the New York Post coverage of Biden's visit here. Apparently all the stuff appearing on the internet is "disinformation" too. So - if you believe the Democrats are totally sane people - you really should disregard this! What no one seems to have mentioned is that Joe also managed to headbutt a visibly alarmed Pope. His absence from the local dinner was excused as due to "tiredness" but, as they've surely got him pumped up with drugs during the day, it conveniently avoided the embarrassing photos of him crashing out. In any other theatre, they'd be charged with elder abuse.

For an eighth prediction in the light of what I've seen of Joe Biden this week, down here: Joe Biden won't be allowed to continue as POTUS by his own Democratic Party. The lying media can't continue to cover for his mental state very much longer. Quite how they get rid of him is going to be an interesting watch, and those who pull the strings are leaving it very late. This event will come as shock news to the leftist hive mind types who blithely absorb every bit of garbage the mainstream media circulates. No one in their right mind could contemplate Kamala Harris taking over from him (the ultimate woke job placement) so they have a really tough task in timing this. His obvious replacement Gavin Newsom has made such a hash of California that the next Democratic candidate will likely be some relatively unknown Democratic state governor. If they do select Newsom, it's another gift for Donald Trump, but I will leave this as just one extra prediction. We live in interesting times!

Please no! Pneumonia awaits in that climate. You're actually going to need some industrial grade wellies, now that Rishy's parade is well and truly underwater! 💦💦💦💦💦💦

Seriously, though, the locals are up in arms here about the traffic disruption. There have been potholes filled that have been like that for years, and that's in places where the G7 leaders are never going to go! The sky has been thick with helicopters, costal surveillance aircraft and military drones. I could post you some pictures, but it will likely violate some security law. If they are discussing so-called climate change, then there's an awful lot of hydrocarbons being burned in the process. But you'd expect that sort of hypocrisy from the globalist elites anyway! For those who don't know what I'm on about: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/06/13/welcome-to-the-most-unpopular-g7-summit-ever/

Even if you're one of those hate not hope Labour voters who always wanted to see the "evil Tories" obliterated [I'm looking at you, Symptoms], it makes not the slightest bit of sense to give your vote to Labour this time. Labour is pretty much guaranteed their turn in the cosy duopoly that has existed for our lifetimes, so a Labour vote IS a wasted vote. The ONLY way to ensure that the globalist creature laughingly named Conservative is banished from history is to vote for Reform. Reform won't take power, but they will consign the Conservative Party to the dustbin of history after a lot of kicking and screaming. A comeback will only be possible if globalist Labour throws their globalist Conservative buddies a lifeline. If you still haven't woken up in the 21st century and smelled the coffee, then see today's Torygraph for full details of the rout: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/06/12/tory-2019-voters-say-conservatives-deserve-to-lose-seats/ I really really really would like to hear from a Labour voter on why they think voting Labour is a good idea. I've asked several Labour supporters this question, but they've gone uncharacteristically silent on the matter. It's almost as if they know that they are acting irrationally, and are embarrassed to admit this to themselves. Please feel free discus.

I spent a good hour with that Eggy - a literal trip down memory lane! Although... Memory Lane seems to be missing a few buildings! Thanks for posting it.

This morning's Torygraph headline: Farage wins BBC election debate, snap poll finds A slightly more nuanced result from the Torygraph's own poll of 75,000 readers: So Tory voters prefer Reform over the imploding Tory Party by more than three to one! Labour's recent drop in the polls illustrates that there are a good many Labour voters who will gravitate to voting against the status quo, too. Never before in modern history has a third out-of-the-blue party been contesting second place like this. It's only a matter of time before most voters get the message. There's still time to change your prediction, Eggy!

Right from the dawn of the space age, we've been led to believe that there's an inevitable communications blackout during reentry. This has led to many anxious moments. Today we've just seen that communications are possible "all the way down" if the vehicle is big enough and the communications equipment is suitably placed. That's actually game changing, but In the excitement of the today's successful launch, no one seems to have pointed this out. Congratulations to everyone involved. I've no doubts that at long last we are on our way to Mars, and that Mars will be populated way before the end of the present century.

If we are doubly forgotten BEFORE the election, then there's zero chance when all the election promises are forgotten. First law of voting: Never ever vote for any party that has been established for more than twenty years. Why? Twenty years is more than enough time for all the "main chance" slimeball career politicos to gravitate to it and all the motivated people who established it to forget exactly why it was established in the first place! If you vote for it, then you become part of the problem and not part of the solution.

Well... as long as the prior imposition of Wansbeck doesn't exist too, I'm sort of OK with that. Look at it as if Bedlington is now the real centre of the Ashington/Blyth universe.

Despite being branded "extreme right" by the BBC, GB News does in fact broadcast a pretty broad spectrum of views. One of its founders was Andrew Neil when he was pushed out of the BBC by the woke mob. You can get GB News Radio anywhere in the world with several Android or iPhone radio apps. If you have a Google smart speaker, simply say Hey Google, play GB News Radio, and I'm guessing Amazon and Apple devices will respond similarly. This is novel: I'm providing a link to an old Guardian article (interpret with care)! GB News launch gains more viewers than BBC or Sky news channels Several ex-BBC and ITV people present regularly, and particularly notable is young Geordie lad Darren Grimes - who used to be a Lib Dem activist. You can view part of the TV coverage on their YouTube channel. They seem to have started a GB News America recently too. If you have a Roku box or stick, there's a Roku app that will connect your TV to the full monty. I see that there's an Android Play Store app too, but I've never needed it. Almost definitely an Apple Store app too, and maybe other platforms. Unlike other UK TV broadcasters, they don't block international streaming, so you can get their full 24/7 UK TV coverage wherever you are in the world.

It's a failed leftist publication with strong links to the Kremlin and KGB! It failed commercially and "went digital" in order to keep churning out its anti-British propaganda. Like C4 it has taken significant funding from the EU which it prefers not to reveal. Naturally, it was vehemently anti-Brexit and remains metropolitan centric.

The BBC doesn't earn money, it has a route into everyone's pockets via the TV Tax! It is in a privileged position as the state broadcaster and a royal charter which is supposed to guarantee complete political neutrality. If it wants to go the commercial route, then that seems to be fine by most people. But then it will have to stop threatening to imprison people who don't want to fund its leftist propaganda.

You'd have thought the Guardianistas at the Beeb would have learned something from being caught out propagating lies about Nigel Farage over his de-banking, and then having to grovel again in March when describing Reform as "far-right". But no, Geeta Guru-Murthy - older sister of Krishnan Guru-Murthy, the equally biased and foul-mouthed Channel 4 News presenter - simply couldn't resist adding a slur to the BBC's coverage of the Reform press conference in Dover. A red-faced BBC had to speedily admit that the words they focused on were in fact the words of their own poster boy Donald Tusk (now the PM of Poland). It seems that in the BBC's world view working British people must tolerate the illegal immigration levels that Poles, of all political persuasions, will no longer tolerate! "... I used language to describe it which didn’t meet the BBC’s editorial standards on impartiality. I’d like to apologise to Mr Farage and viewers for this.” Eternally curious that these frequent infractions of "the BBC’s editorial standards on impartiality" are all one way, and no sanctions are ever applied! Maybe the BBC needs some REAL diversity and inclusion in its recruiting process?

You'd likely better re-edit that: a lady shouldn't be dropping clues to her own age!

It rings a bell, but the bell is cracked! Can vaguely remember being presented with an address slip (quite a memorable name), but the year I simply can't recall. It can't have been before late 1961 unless I was just along for the ride - which happened frequently in the mid 1950's. Some of these rides are quite memorable, and amongst other things I got introduced to the use of "shot-firing cable" and sticky tape as a local substitute for mains extension cable. It was a local fix for there often being only one mains socket in a room, and sometimes none at all: appliances were sometimes patched into the light socket! It was also my first introduction to (lethal!) DC mains supplied directly from the colliery generators. It was possible to get AC/DC radios and TVs in those days, and domestic appliances were rare in any event. Shot firing cable was "dorty"-yellow and solid cored. It was entirely unsuitable for domestic use, unreliable, and - almost needless to say - totally unsafe! Often all you could do was a makeshift repair under the condition that they went out and bought some proper mains cable - which everybody knew wasn't going to happen! Umm... maybe that's why the hoose bornt?!

Who could possibly have guessed this? Further proof - if any were necessary - that it's always best just to get on and do your own thing.

How do you rationalise the fact that despite the Deludocrats earlier siren warnings, the Trumpster was the only POTUS in modern history NOT to start a war? Wars always start through perceived weakness - Sleepy Joe being a prime example.

That's a close call, Eggy. Biden will likely still be in office until early January, and there's the traditional first phone call. "1. I will be avoiding the first 15 minutes of the start of every BBC news broadcast for at least the next 42 days" Why limit it to 15 minutes and 42 days? The BBC no longer broadcast actual news. "a giant size inflatable Bedlington Terrier will hover" -- some great ideas coming out of this thread already!
