If you think a free press is important though (and it is) then Israel is by far your biggest friend in the middle east.

Same as if you believe in democracy, in the right for gay men to leave in...

I think the BBC figures are right. It's a rare example of the guardian skewing reality to suit the Tories!

Aside from the frustration I have with party politics, I do love all the graphs and...

I learnt tonight that Andy Street ( the now former west midlands mayor) is the boyfriend of Michael Fabricant.

For me, a couple of things are clear;

Firstly, Labour are nailed on to win the next General Election. No Tory politician would bet their kids inheritance on them winning.

This thread is like Godwin's law in reverse!

Great story and shows how the carrot can be more powerful than the stick.

Of course. But they had a leader.

I actually think it can help them, as they get more exposure as stand out players in those countries and have more of a USP.

Pirlo Pot, the Cambodian tyrant.

Of course, Nazism didn't die with Hitler, that is a different argument, but I do think the comparisons to the man himself are absolutely overblown.

It's a bit like comparing...

Close, but he's the one who stopped Hitler.

But either you are saying that countries should naturally want to spend time to negotiate deals (to perhaps bespoke it to their own economic or social needs) in which case why wouldn't we want that...

I mean, no one wants to pay £6 for nothing. You can almost get an airport pint for that.

But it lasts upto four years, so that's £1.50 a year and for that it is checked against security logs to...

Sludge it's not the 1980s.

I couldn't disagree with that statement of hers more btw. Am a very firm believer in the concept of society but you can't say that Conservatives don't believe in it....

The one that stands out for me is thingy.

Well yeah, and they kinda did with Georgia.

But that stresses the benefit of being in NATO doesn't it?

🤣

Basketball is the most boring sport on earth. The only way I can tolerate it is as NBA Jam on the SNES.

Whats the point of NATO if it's only going to defend its own members?! Umm

And just so typical of the modern world that they plaster it all over the internet for kicks afterwards

Yeah it's nice, and he's doing great for 102.

With all the money in football, I do like seeing things like this.

Interesting mix standing for Gallaghers party. Celebs, some from the Labour left, an ex Tory or two, two ex UKIP MEPs..
