The pub then a chippy sealed his fate
Zero chance of a follow up date
He thought she would fall into his arms
And be besotted with his charms

Quote from: Raven on Yesterday at 10:32:48 AMWell that's me bought another Beco, a black one this time as it matches the black cooker. Next it will be a black fridge/freezer and I'll have them all changed from white.

Doesn't that make the kitchen seem dark though,  Raven?
When its dismal outside, mind you're not opening the cooker to store the milk, and putting your hot pot in the fridge to cook.

It's not though.    Panto dames are men dressed up, aren't they.  
 Why don't they just hire a woman in the first place?

Starmer said  ' Offensive and wrong.. ' and that Ratcliffe should apologise..

Apologise !!!!  for what ?.. He is not wrong..
If Starmer can not see that we are being overrun by immigrants he is a bloody fool..
The sooner we get these idiotic politicians out the better...

We are becoming an Island of strangers...

As far as Starmer is concerned, the more third-world imports he can get, the more votes he can look forward to... or so he thinks.
However, I agree that he is a fool - an absolute buffoon in fact.  Much of his own party seems to be wondering how to get rid of him, because the longer he's there, the less likely Labour are to govern ever again.

Quote from: Raven on Yesterday at 10:26:53 AMSorry but No, my feelings are about the man himself, nothing to do with the SNP, who I'm not in love with as you all seem to think, it's about Farage himself I don't like him and I don't trust him.
My feelings are quite clear in my previous post and no amount of pressure from anyone will change that.

Tell me this.....If there had never been a Union and Scotland was approached to form one, why should we? What benefit would it produce for us? We already have the assets we need and the knowledge to harness/work with them.

I have nothing against the Scots, but yes, if Scotland wants to become an independent country that's OK by me.
I feel that there has always been an underlying antipathy against England, although we have relatives near Glasgow with whom we get on well.  Much of England is deteriorating now and there is a general feeling of uncertainty for the future.  At my age, and with no children to concern me, I don't really worry.
If Scotland did become independent, would they remove all of their third-world illegals, or are they and we stuck with them?

 Totally agree.
