80 years today...Neville Chamberlain announced we were at war with Germany. Surprised this anniversary hasn't had more coverage
Yes, that really changed lives. My mother at 16 years old in 1939 had won a scholarship to Liverpool College of Art, her first day was meant to be Monday 4th September. Today's snowflakes don't know they're born...
“HOPE HE DIES SOON” That is a nasty, despicable horrible thing to say about anybody. You really do show your true colours on here, you are without a doubt a nasty piece of work, and have the morals to prove it.
Yes, my mum was 11 and was evacuated to Devon soon after. She's 91 now. I told her I was walking on Exmoor recently, and staying in Banstaple. Why there?she asked. What's wrong with Barnstaple, I ask. She tries to remember. "Well, it's very dark and there's never enough to eat" Some memories don't fade!
I'm talking about elections and referendums. You're taking about the hell of living outside the EU. Lot's manage it and do very well!
Yes, us fat, rich middle-class gammon-faced businessmen types were having a chuckle over this very possibility across the boardroom table only yesterday.
It might be more significant and relevant that Nicholas Soames, the Grandson of Winston Churchill has confirmed he is voting against Boris tonight.
Johnson and Raab claim 'progress' in Brexit negotiations . Cummings says they are a 'sham' and CH4 news reports that the negotiating team has been disbanded!
I've seen this point made on the news. It's a nice soundbite, but no more than that imo. Soames is not a bad MP, but doesn't share many of his grandfather's values or attributes.
General Doubt@GeneralDoubt 11h11 hours ago Justine Greening, Oliver Letwin, Ken Clarke all 'standing down' (i.e. they know they'll get drummed out of the new Boris-led Tory party) before the next GE. What we've got here folks is a #SelfDrainingSwamp please log in to view this image
I might not like the bloke or agree with much of what he says but I gotta give Rees-Mogg his due.....he’s a bloody good speaker.
Chair of LGBT Lib Dems Quits Party Over Phillip Lee please log in to view this image The chair of the Liberal Democrat LGBT wing has resigned from the party following Phillip Lee’s defection to them. “I thought we had a soul and principles.” Read her full statement here: “I’m feeling devastated. The powers that be have let Philip Lee in. A homophobe, a xenophobe, and someone who thinks people should be barred from the country if they are ill. F*ck this. F*ck this so hard. I thought the Lib Dems were not a single issue party. I thought we had a soul and principles. But apparently as long as you are on the right side on Brexit we’ll take you. Well, I’m sorry, but no. It doesn’t matter if we already have others as bad. You don’t make bad things better by adding more bad things. It doesn’t matter that he will increase our numbers in parliament by ONE. He thinks me and people like me are a lower class of human. I will not share a party with him. I know you only get to do this once. I know I am ripping up almost my entire social life here. I know I am causing a lot of people a lot of organisational difficulties. And I’m sorry for all that. But there are some principles I will not compromise. Sorry.”
Oh I have a big list. There are plenty of people I don’t care if they live or die. Some I hope it comes quickly for That’s my moral code and it’s honest. Mogg carries a responsibility that he could bring death to innocents indirectly by the power games he is currently playing just one would do it in my moral code. He carries zero sentiment to me greedy lying man he has turned out to be following the current exposure. Nothing but a pop in a post move on but something tells me you won’t.
