Goldfish memory Dede! Think hard; can you not recall Truss and Johnson?

Why reply at all? Aren't antics in a foreign court irrelevant in the UK?

Does that mean that Nigel Haw-Haw did it for free?

I'm not aware of any connections. No female Swinglers that I know of are near you. Some cousins that I haven't seen for about 60 years may have daughters. Grandad was from Kettering where the name is a bit more common, but I don't know if he was related to any of them.

Ultimate responsibility is down to May for invoking Brexit and Johnson for choosing worst options.

It's reported that Farage told BBC Wales "I knew him in the EU parliament" and of the pro- Russian statements "I didnt know anything about it". Perhaps NF should have paid some attention to what was going on in the EU parliament.

I'm glad I don't live in a country where shooting kids is normal, and successive governments are complicit.

The link doesn't say how much energy gets transferred in 3 minutes. I haven't done the sums, but surely, for a typical car battery size, that would require an impractically massive current and/ or high voltage.

TV has to be entertaining, and Farage is a good talker. Reminds me of Dennis Skinner, except that he talked sense.

Yes, but without sound to avoid disturbing others.

A properly operating gas turbine should emit zero methane. Are they ALL suffering bad combustion? Very unlikely. But if true, consider risk of explosion.

"Why are you behind schedule?" I was once asked. "Because I'm required to attend all these progress meetings", I replied.

Was some of this on Tuesday when there was a "trespass incident" that seemed to stop many trains?

Indeed. It was fraudulent of so many to vote for Biden.

Well, it was probably about 4am New York time, and he is very old.
