Salt n Vinegar Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) I thought that Starmer was at least an intelligent bloke, even if he is trying to lead an unelectable shower, but no. After over a year of the biggest worldwide health disaster for over a century, he points out in his Commons speech that life expectancy as stalled. Really? I mean how could that possibly have happened? What could possibly have resulted in more people shrugging off their mortal coils earlier than usual? He should have run that bit past a 10 year old with a basic grasp of "doing sums". Idiot. Edited May 11, 2021 by Salt n Vinegar -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with Covid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take some comfort in the fact that the policies of successive SNP governments have not been influenced by the homophobic god botherer. Quite the reverse in fact. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One might almost think that if he wanted to make that political point, that's the way he would say it. 0 out of 10 for political impact.

Cant be smoking as it’s greatly reduced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G51 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 So Tim Shipman, previously thought to be the worst Shipman of all time until last weekend, has disappeared off Twitter since his tweet-and-delete expose about Jenny Chapman being banned from Starmers house by Keith's wife. Theories on what's happened to him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt n Vinegar Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Israel/Palestine? Resolve the tensions? Seems to me that it is pretty difficult for rational folk to involve themselves in a conflict between two groups of folk arguing over a piece of land that both sincerely believe was given exclusively to their group by a god. Still, our Head of State thinks that a god gave her a role in government and that the same god insists that her son should inherit it, so the UK is not really in much of a position to criticise either side in their dispute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she's fine as an intro to specific concepts but treating her as the authority on economics is very silly. I'd still probably recommend Yates' Can The Working Class Change the World as a better alternative as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
