I prefer not to know. Whilst I respect Jeremy Corbyn as a man of principle, I'm beginning to think a garden gnome would do a better job as leader of the Labour Party.

In fact, how about replacing him with a garden gnome? Few people would actually notice, and at least the gnome wouldn't do or say anything stupid.

ASs has been mentioned before , he is a Man of principles , but a leader he is NOT .
 
May be we have for a generation been media informed that a 6ft something smiling smoothee with the gift of the gab a la Blair and Cameron equals leadership. When what it really equals is conman. Leadership is in part about being media savvy, it's also about having some integrity, being able to take the proverbial out of yourself, showing your are a real person, but still being able to 'sell' your message. Obama has done it brilliantly. Corbyn struggles to sell the message, the rest he can do. Importantly the message is an honest message that the media don't want to hear. This means there has to be a way of bypassing the established media.. hence the internet, social media become key..
 
Apparently its the queen's birthday - is it just me who doesnt actually give a **** about the birthday of an old lady that I dont know?
Also, if she hangs around long enough to turn 100, who sends her a telegram?
 
Worrying stuff if true. My sister's doctor recently retired, and when she and her husband asked him to recommend another doctor, within the same practice, for them to switch to, he advised them to change practices.

It's likely to happen here ( Westmoors) . My GP Emigrated to Oz, they still have not managed to get a full time replacement. If I want a normal appointment it is currently at least a 2 week wait.

It's my opinion that there a fair number of politicians who are seeing Brexit as an opportunity to seize power and they'll deal with the consequences if they happen. It matters not a jot to them what it does to the country and its people.
