    Are you planning to be the proverbial one legged man in an arse kicking contest?

    The LT documentary is called The Ultra Zionists. See if you can find it online somewhere. Well worth the watch. Recently, BBC iPlayer made accessible every LT documentary made under the BBC banner. The only one they left out was that one. Why? I believe, because it is far too hard hitting and shows what life is like living on both sides of the dispute.

    I'll look out for the film.

    Good grief you can see what's coming... As my very perceptive wife has just commented, ' The tuck shop is losing money so the Tories are going to vote for Bunter to run it.. Not long before there will be nothing on the shelves.'

    Here’s an eye opening report on how to launder money, with a whistle blower being prosecuted for exposing it!

    So, who do we want in charge?

    Where's the 'none of the above' option?

    We are so screwed.

    He should set up a crowd-fund to raise the cash. Utterly appalling he should be prosecuted for whistleblowing, and disgraceful he should be the only person prosecuted.

    I just imagined that this was St.G saying this. I could very easily get behind this [yes, I posted this about 8 pages back. It was mostly ignored then. Give it a go this time. And if it doesn't grab you after 5 minutes, skip forward anothr 5 rather than skipping altogether.]:

    5 minutes TSS? To grab people’s attention in here, you’re lucky if you get 5 seconds! <laugh>

    Just because our own government resembles an Ealing Comedy without the humour, is no reason not to laugh at the Yanks mate.

    probably worth listening to for all that still think "just leave, that's what we voted for! "

    Just watched it in it’s entirety. Bernie and Jeremy are kindred spirits, both fighting the same battles against character assassination, both personally and politically.
    I can’t help feel that the world would be a better and safer place with Sanders as the president of the USA.

    I apologise for posting meaningless memes about the morons that are taking over the world when inside I am crying because there are decent politicians that could make a difference. I have children and grandchildren. I've spent all my life learning that the mistakes of the 20th century will never be repeated. What's going on? wtf?

    How Norway turns criminals into good neighbours

    "... recidivism in Norway has fallen to only 20% after two years and about 25% after five years. So this works!"
    In the UK, the recidivism rate is almost 50% after just one year.

    Pffft, that's what brexiteers use.

    Us pro European cooperation types can break out the Hadron collider and start manufacturing black holes.

    That's how you deal with Brexit.
