Sir James is totally right about colonisation; it is no use sneering Sir Michael, yours is sheer jealousy. Monaco has been colonised by the rich, the shady and even Sir Philip and Tina Lady Green.It must be a desperate place where unexpectedly you could bump into so many undesirable, as bad as Dubai

I suspect he closed the door, not crossed the street, when a man and his pregnant wife asked if they could sleep in his stables as there was no room at the Premier Inn.

Sir Michael, I wondered when I saw your post what had happened to Chris Mason and thought perhaps he had retired, and then I looked up his age and realised he must have been ill.

Whilst I know that Jill's baps are a thing of wonder and sampled by many from wide and far, she is a bit unreliable in her memory and reasoning department and forgets she used to lust over the late John Thaw (who never failed to play John Thaw in whatever role) but was particularly so in:

Indeed. Despitte Churchill being PM from 1940-45, he hadn't won a general election and didn't until 1951.
Douglas Home, didn't win a general election, nor did Calaghan, Brown, Truss or Sunak.

I had no idea that pets were allowed into E Wing at Broadmarsh.

Besides those listed he played the son to Thora Hird in Lost for Words, which was a remarkable drama.

Poor Peter will rightly blame Sir David Beckham for ruining his career in modelling budgie smugglers.

Have those kids stolen one of the woman's legs?

I was scandalised to see pictures of you, Sir Michael and Lady Take, spread across the media following your visit to the Reform Swingers and Over 60's club. I think the press have a downer on you as it is quite obvious you have a finger, or two, on the vital functions of government.

In another life weren't these people called the Gestapo?

Poor Melania should remember what happened to:

With his Scots ancestory perhaps the UK government could help (with a fee of course) and relocate Benito and Melania plus their children to St Kilda's in the Out Hebrides.

Hypocrite is one of the nicest things I could say about him🤣

I must have power-napped during each word Graham spoke.
This is just so unbelievable I am thinking of taking a break from the needy and entitled Joe and the Lazarus like Graham.

with over 15% of China's trade (Russia only accounts for 3%), the USA is by far its biggest customer.

The patronising and controlling Donald Trump has told the UK it is dangerous for us to trade with China. For those who voted Brexit because they wanted sovereignty back for the UK they should consider that leaving a Union 50% bigger than the USA makes us weaker. They should also consider that/

YouTube video by Guardian News Suella Braverman appears unsure about how an asylum seeker can apply to enter the UK

Let's remember how masterfully she performed her brief, always ready to give the intricacies of law, as one would expect from a newly made KC.🤣

Poor Jai, he always wanted to be an actor, it is so tragic.

Just a pity he is lightweight and wooden

Whatever I think of Starmer, Burnham has lost some of my respect in all this. Rather than finish his time as mayor and fulfill his promises, he saw an opportunity, at the cost of unfinished work at Gt Manchester and also despite splitting his own party.

You'd have to explain to Whately what a ship was and then teach her how to jump.

In fact very similar to Nigel Farage, perhaps they will end up like two magnets, so similar that they repel each other.

Is there anything, in its history, besides the date, that the Daily Mail has been right about?

How wonderful it is that Suella, a mistress of her brief, with a razor sharp mind and strong principles the child of immigrants from Mauritius and Kenya rose like cream to the top. I wonder who was responsible for others not being able to follow in her and Kemi's footsteps.

I am sure that Kemi will sort it all out when she renames the Conservative and Unionist Party to Reform 2

Doesn't Big Gob have to wait and see what his banker, Lord Bamford has to say before he takes charge of Reform? After all Alexander Boris must be under an obligation after the free housing and wedding reception, there again he doesn't usually allow loyalty to stand in his way.

Which precisely what I mean, in 1981 there was no thought of the Falklands in the electorates minds, most didn't know where it was, or for that matter care.
Later Thatcher won because of the miners strike, but Heath lost in 74 during the that strike.

I'd rather he finished off the work he is doing in Gt Manchester for the next couple of years.
Governments are always unpopular in their first 2-3. Who in 1981 would have thought that Thatcher would win a second and third election.

Winter tree skeletons seen from the ground looking up at the woodland canopy. This state of hibernation reveals the intricate structure of branches and twigs. Black and white emphasizes the contrast and beauty of the filigree net of neighbouring tree crowns. Life continues beneath the bark.

Looking up at #winter #tree silhouettes on #scape day, their intricate structures revealed. ❄️🪾
