Sad news indeed.

Quote from: Ruthio on Today at 11:19:54 AMI don't particularly like or admire her, but I did think that what she said regarding the differing 'racism' experiences of Jews travellers and black people was entirely reasonable.

There may well be some mileage in that argument, but IIRC that's not what she said at the time.  In any case, she apologised solely to be returned the whip and thus allowed to stand as a Labour candidate.  Now she has retracted the apology, she can't really complain that she's been suspended, not only for her views on racism, but because she lied through her back teeth with a disingenuous lie.

Just a warning folks. If you go on that site and put in your postcode don't have a heart attack - one of those pins shown is your own postcode. My heart is still fluttering....

Seems they are having to slum it in the one near me as it's only a    but at least it does look a bit like home with the palm trees

Either Google maps hasn't been updated to show it's not closed or the info given is incorrect. It across the town from me so I won't be checking up in person but as it's also still showing on Booking.com I reckon the info is duff

Friday. Another week past
Time goes so quick I'm aghast
I remember Thursday like it was yesterday
Then, all of a sudden, it's another day
Let's hope the weekend's a blast! 🥳🥳

Now please ensure you're on the right thread 😉

To be honest, I don't think most people take any notice of her.  She's just a figure of fun, especially when she has her shoes on the wrong feet.

I'm afraid that the more I hear about this side of politics, the more I am glad that I am the age I am.  Sadly, Marge is nine years younger than me, so I do worry a little about her future.
I do worry about what more damage Labour can do if they remain in office for another four years.

On a separate subject, I came across a web-site showing all locations of illegal immigrant hotels throughout the country:  https://howfarfrommydoorstep.co.uk/

There seems to be a hell of a lot of them already.

What?  I had to google it.  I had never heard of it.  What next, Latin words?!
