    It's like talking to a foil for tobacco firms 50 years ago arguing about the effects of smoking.

    The "Singapore is 20 degrees warmer than Helsinki and they're fine" argument is akin to the "my grandad smoked until he was 150 and he was fine" <laugh> <doh>

    "I felt that one of the most important things I had in this world was my good name, and they were trying to ruin it.” <laugh>

    Do ppl actually take this seriously, even in a courtroom? Considering he's just been binned by GBN for the vile comments he made against a female journalist.

    How can he come out with this bollox with a straight face?

    Pretty sure that he had nothing to do with his name having value

    The fact that even with an acting dynasty behind him he couldn't nepo baby his way to a career screams volumes

    Just looking at the case, there's no doubt he's a vile human being, but it's going to be difficult to prove he's racist imo. The bar will be quite high and I doubt he meets the threshold.

    And he can't justify calling the other party *****philes.

    Not sure what happens if the ruling finds in both party's favour with their defence.

    The photos he posted on Twitter of him in blackface is certainly going to be brushing the bar on its own, and there's certainly enough incidents dotted across the last 3-4 years to demonstrate a pattern of behaviour. Add to that the guy he's suing for calling him racist has files of his tweets as evidence

    Of course, the real question is why he hasn't ever threatened to sue anyone who calls him a cocaine-addled husk of meat that vaguely resembles a human being...

    So....Sunak, whose whole political raisin d'etre revolves around 'stopping the boats', picks a fight with Greece over the UK's theft of artifacts 200 years ago, with Greece being (checks notes)... at the literal forefront of migration across europe!
    What a sad little twat - and what a pathetic, insular and xenophobic country the UK has become! <doh>

    From a Jack to a king by Ned Miller and he'll have to go by Jim Reeves were the only 2 songs my old man ever played for himself on the radiogram
    If I came home late on a Saturday night and beard them playing I knew the old man had a skin full <laugh>

    This book about Prince King Charles by Omid Scobie has unintentionally revealed just what a pathetic nest of vipers our press is

    At the weekend when it emerged that Scobie's book called Charles "pampered" for, among other things, not only having people tie his shoelaces for him but having his shoelaces ironed before he used them, the royal commentators were almost literally tripping over one another to dismiss the entire book as false

    A couple of days later, though, those same royal commentators are queuing up to say how truthful the book is when it emerged that one section mentions Charles sniping at Prince Harry

    The ghost of George Orwell thinks this is a little on the nose

    I don't know why people might come to the conclusion that Susan Hall is not okay in the head

    And yet she is still the official Tory candidate for the London Mayoral Election! <doh>

    1. She clearly mislaid the card
    2. If she was pickpocketed then that is theft, not robbery.
    3. She appears to have given a great example of how law-abiding Londoners are: her lost Oyster card and cash was found and returned to her!

    She has previously shown herself up as an incredibly stupid bigot, but she has surpassed herself this time.

    Mind you, it's giving a 'look at the squirrel ' moment for the Tory Press to divert attention from Sunaks latest **** up! <laugh>
