There were plenty of health scare stories concerning Putin for a while. Best to wait and see.


 

For Now, Charlie hasn’t invaded  any neighboring countries so I doubt there is a propaganda war out against him.. might be true!

 

poor fella. Waited all these year for Lizzie to pop her clogs and  doesn’t look like it will be too long before he follows her!

It’s up there with that Manchester street scene photograph. 
 

It encapsulates everything about this dead duck government.

I watched the episode and that still pic is a reaction to the reply by the Tory member on the panel which was so unbelievably stupid, I couldn't comprehend it.

Your point being?

 

 

 

I get what you're trying to mock but fool, if you think this is a thing to be mocked.

No they’ve been batshit for years.  The police are literally all powerful and questioning them publicly will get you arrested.

I read a really interesting post on Reddit (so take with a pinch of salt of course) that said something like the 13 Colonies didn’t originally have a police force, and one only coalesced from militias when there was a need to protect private property. So the concept of the police force as a public service was never really a thing, and in fact the origin of their police was exclusively to protect wealth and property.

 

EDIT: I should add - property including slaves, “protecting them” meaning suppressing slave uprisings and capturing escapees.

Many theories on why they are why they are, but certainly the US is a society which varies hugely by state. Atlanta couldn’t be more different to Oregan. Neither have it right imo.

Not sure if necessarily agree with this, to be honest.

 

The term 'milder' condition for anxiety/depression doesn't feel right for them to say.

Here's a crazy idea, how about not massively underfunded the NHS for 13 years so people can get the help they need so they minimise the length of their sick notes in the first place?

Have to add that every single political party and leader for the last 40+ years has massively underfunded the NHS...

Commentator on the BBC just now about Humza's resignation:

 

“He was trying to get on the front foot, and he ended up shooting himself in it”.

Big mistake in cutting the coalition deal with the Greens. obviously... But what was he thinking? in what scenerio did he imagine that would be a good idea?

Haven't the polls closed quite a bit over the past few weeks? Trump is just as cognitively done as Biden.

i'm aware of trump rambling on, but i haven't seen any evidence of any  cognitive impairment.

 

Trump is ahead on 6 of the key swing states

i dont see any evidence of the gaps closing..
