The trouble with deploying Chinese technology in the UK is that, a couple of hours later, you feel like deploying another one.

Don’t forget always managing to park directly outside a massive office building in the heart of a busy city.

Agreed. It’s a no-win situation.

OK, they could have had a time delay but I do see β€œawareness” of this condition mentioned more.

Mad world innit.

Today I discovered that when Peter Sellers was going through a particularly paranoid phase in his life, Spike Milligan sent him a telegram saying "IGNORE FIRST TELEGRAM".
There was, of course, no first telegram.

He’s trying to make contact with the Clacton twin town residents over there known as the Clactossigans..

As a starting point, perhaps have Liz Truss on a Full Disclosure podcast?

LBC has pretty much morphed into GB News...hour after hour of anti-Labour broadcasting. Even programme trailers are negative. Yes, it's important but how about an hour or so about Farage and Reform & the scandals involving them?

But that doesn't support the narrative.

Yes, he probably has but for some reason he’s pivoting to show his true thoughts. Shame really, used to think he was a good β€˜un.

Agreed; he has several critics regarding his thoughts on certain topics but this really is time well spent that other leaders are ducking.

Credit to him.

It always was just a route into parliament, to gain him access to the corridors - and hopefully levers - of power.

A monumental con job on those poor constituents.

Incredibly fortunate it wasn’t one more and he would have to combat 18 of them.

Apparently they were struggling with the sheer volume of incoming emails.

So that’s with a party of 5 (?) MPs…how on earth would they cope with a majority in government??

It’s strange how so many people don’t see an issue with this and other appointees/scandals in Reform.

It’s UK MAGA, simple as.

Tragic.

I was at the Marquee Club in TV’s London many years ago seeing a band a mate was in with the drummer being Zak Starkey.

Part way through the gig I turned around and Ringo Starr was standing next to me. And Barbara Bach.

Never said a word. Still haunts me.

He beat pancreatic cancer a while back. Not many do that. He became diabetic after surgery with more surgeries after that. He took over 30 medications and had 7 injections a day.

Yes, have to go into town as well.

First thing at this time of year is the only way. It’s a hellscape otherwise.

Plus…Lord Offord; defected to Reform on December 6, appears on Question Time December 11.

Nothing to see here, no sir.

I would imagine that the Canadian tourist board may be working on a campaign as they could clean up from next year.
