How are Labour doing after their first 12 months

Yeah as Libby said, Milk and Donga are completely different people. Donga is quite an intelligent guy, I always feel he's quite bias in his opinions, but maybe intelligence equals accuracy, I don't know.

Er, thanks for that. I think. :emoticon-0138-think

Wait, who the **** is Milk then? <laugh>

He's a Liverpool supporter :emoticon-0165-muscl from South Carolina who originates from the UK (I think). You've probably bumped into him on the Prem matchday thread, as he usually confines his political thoughts to Liverpool board threads.
 
I think there's a psychological element to these things. When you know a larger than life character, like John Lennon, JFK, Donald Trump etc and they're killed, you expect the assassin to be a character, a huge individual. I think people often can't square away that an absolute nobody loser can snuff out the life of someone that is so big.

Mark Chapman, former Beatles fan who began to resent John Lennon, got a pistol hung around his hotel and had a pop. That's really it, the entire story. I think when people hear that they just have to find a deeper, bigger meaning to it.

Yeah, I remember all the batshit theories when Lennon was killed, particularly those linking it to the FBI/CIA because of all the hassle they'd given him under Nixon in the early 70s. Shades of the Billy Shears malarkey with McCartney. Occam's Razor is never the first thought in these tinfoils' heads.
 
So Donga is right but uses too many words to get there <laugh>

Btw when I'm saying Donga I'm chatting Prince Knut....why can't these fookers just stick to one name.

Thinking of changing it back soon. Is it a bit lame now, I suppose (if it wasn't all along). :biggrin:

He didn't donate to the Democrats, that was a 69yr old from the same city that was also called Thomas Crooks.

Thanks Ern. It was fact-checked, and I know that tweet is out there somewhere, but it's not in my bookmarks as I thought it was. Cba trawling back 3 months though... :emoticon-0138-think
 
He wouldn't ... the ketchup sachet theory is more plausible ... and I would have totally dismissed that ... but there have been some rather intriguing snaps recently showing an apparently pristine lughole ...

Now they could just be earlier, pre-incident, snaps being posted by 'mischievous' conspiracy theorists etc... but one thing I can say for sure - his ear would not have healed completely in this relatively short time - my missus has had 2 ops now for perforated eardrums the first of which involved incisions into the ear cartilage... takes a lot longer to fully heal ...

The tomato ketchup thing is a conceit, I've used it casually myself. For the vast majority of us it's meant to be ironic. It's online with Vance now admitting that he completely made up the Springfield cats and dogs nonsense as it's his job 'to make up stories'. For the record I'll state again - there is no way on God's green Earth that a man of Trump's narcissism and vanity would allow his wig to unravel in any plan.

They won't publish the medical reports, but the most plausible theory of his light injury is that he wasn't directly hit on the ear by an intact bullet as that would have ripped his ear to shreds, even if it just nicked him. Far more like it was a bullet fragment from a deflected shot or shrapnel. That's not to dismiss this as not being an incredibly near miss though - it was.

Starmer meeting Meloni today in Rome, pretending he wants to talk about the migrant crisis...


Any excuse bro, any excuse. I think we need to join the EU again....

" Warnings of fines of up to £1000 for households with fireplaces"
I wonder if Labour realised this before axing the Winter Fuel Allowance for pensioners? My guess is that they probably did - heartless twats that they are.

Although I doubt many of the pensioners could afford the 'authorised fuels' anyway. <grr>

Yeah I think this one has been around for a while mate.

I know they were banging on previously about wood burners, which I think is what that environmentally friendly guy @PISKIE uses. <laugh>

They are also rushing through the Assisted Dying legislation, by next spring they should have all the empty properties they need to house all the illegals that were granted asylum

Yeah not sure I agree with this assisted dying, something that would put me off voting for a party. Would need to give it a lot of thinking over.

My daughter in 'Boro has a wood burner. Love it. I chopped down a few branches of a plum tree in my back garden that was getting far too big, chopped them into half-metre logs, then burned them last week when I was up there. Not sure at all if that's legal now, but they'll have to lock up three-quarters of the country as practically everyone I know is doing the same. And what about the logs you can (expensively) buy from Tesco, Aldi, and Home and Bargain? Are they illegal too?

Ffs, my gas fire is an ornament now that I haven't used in a ****ing decade. I was thinking of getting a burner put in to save on not putting the central heating on. This is dogshit. :steam:

The Tories were going to put it forward in this session of Parliament for debate and to make sure all the needed safeguards were in place

Not sure what Starmer will do

Yeah, after covid I somehow don't trust their safeguards....oh and Lucy Letby, lets not forget about her, she liked assisting kids to die.

I wonder if this is a load of old bollocks, and you believe it because you are losing the plot?
