It wasn't for me either, but that was entirely down to the recession. I had about 12 months all told sat on my arse with no graft, and when I did get something regular it involved a 116 mile round trip to Portsmouth, where I had to clock in before 0630. But I'm not sure what that's got to do with the ethos and meaning of today's Labour Party and whether they can convince people they're fit to govern?
-
Seeing as the Tories said they'd slow down the planned austerity cuts as soon as they won the election, which was basically the core economic policy in Labour's manifesto, then I'd say the two were pretty similar.

It's time to find out if Labours founding principles and ethos matter and can help society in the early 21st century. If Corbyn is a disaster, and even though I voted for him there's every indication that he could well be, we'll end up with a bland as fuck choice as in the U.S. between two largely neo con corporate cock sucking blocks, albeit one with a slightly less scary PR message. This is the UK's last chance, but I think the Tory propaganda machine will cut his knackers off before his first PMQ's.

If this post didn't have the posters name on it my first guess would be that it was by CT. Thats a measure of how fuckin ridiculous it is.

Agree....I think that's at the core of what may be termed "hardcore" internet trolling.....most of the ones who end up in court appear to be social outcasts... -

Hes shared a stage with some fuckin horrors but in a world where the queen shakes the hands of McGuiness and Adams.....point is he's spent his entire life campaigning about racism and human rights. For the media to accuse him of being an anti semite when they know the diametric opposite is true is fuckin abhorrent.

Do you know of St Ann's in Poole? Am working on a refurb of the old bulding there atm (built in 1910, we were sent home at 0800 this morning as they've found that unbelievably a building of that age has asbestos ) and they spent six figure sums transferring some patients away to other facilities so we can carry out the work. This in turn has been brought to the attention of the local press because theres no beds for local folks and as you say people are being sent hundreds of miles away for treatment. Thing is, it overlooks the beach at Canford Cliffs/Sandbanks and is a prime target for local developers as the land is worth millions. We've also heard the works we're carrying out are only for a 5 year life span. Go figure -
My old man lived in Finchley, North London in the 60s...he says he'd go to Spurs or Arsenal every other week depending on who was at home.....unless manu were in town, then he'd go anywhere to watch Best, Law and most of all Charlton...from what he says as a footballer BC was 20 years ahead of his time at least.

This has just popped up on my facebook, a lad I know has signed it.... https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/106477 Thing is, a few years back he was trying to get a Thai lady he'd married across there into this country but failed for some reason or other. That relationship apparently fizzled out, and he took up with another girl from Thailand, and this time he succeeded in getting her into the country. I met her once, didn't think much of it as the lad is more a friend of a friend. I Didn't see much of him for ages, but heard stories that she as refusing to get a job. Then he got home one day to find the house cleared out as she'd had to raise funds to cover online gambling debts, which was how she had been paying the rent instead of working. Then I went for a pint a few months later where our mutual friend informed me that the lad had gone to the doctors for something or other and the doc had taken a blood sample and ran a few tests. One came back positive, for HIV, which he had contracted via unprotected sex with the Thai furniture gambler. For the record, he would've signed a petition like this at any point for as long as I've known him, the best part of twenty years, around about the same time he started taking holidays in Thailand...

A process of normal deduction would indicate that this is likely to be the case, although the extensive body art on the limbs may suggest its the straight edge wizard?...either way, the individual concerned is plainly a handsome man who cares not a jot for normal sartorial standards -
