Election Year or Fear!

He's not been on a few days probably letting off some steam.

Those election results have probably left him feeling a bit flat.

I guess he is still waiting for his usual impeccable internet sources to come with a line or two he can repeat parrot fashion.

That line about Starmer is a classic one pushed out by both Tories and the other exotic right wing commentators, which he has repeated verbatim.

I was laughing the other day at some "vox pops" that had been take from the man and woman in the street, who were claiming ow English or British culture was being "taken from them", all the examples given were not remotely true, one being that fish and chips was getting harder to find!!! Especially ironic, given most fish and chip shops are run by expat, Greeks and Cypriots and it was apparently an immigrant in the 1860's who first opened a chip shop in London!!

I mean you couldn't make it up, though clearly there is a shadowy industry out there that do and feed it to those who haven't a ****ing clue!!

Unfortunately I think the Tories will run a nasty campaign that is based on the so called "culture wars", but I am heartened that a significant proportion of the voters realise there are more important matters for the government to attend to and seem to realise the current lot are interested only in power.

"it was apparently an immigrant in the 1860's who first opened a chip shop in London!"

I think Joseph Malins from Bethnal Green might object to this suggestion.

And first in UK was possibly opened by one of rA's ancestors...

Ah…sorry, thanks for the clarification. Suspect it may no longer be there…mighty Roughyeds beat Newcastle 74-0 on Sunday and I’ve just read that someone was shot last night about half a mile from where I grew up…how times change.

[Geoff Parkstone]

Did Newcastle used to usually win, then?

[Geoff Parkstone]

The shooting at Minton Street chip shop, you mean??

No…they didn’t exist! RL was only played in Lancashire, (and Cheshire after local authority reorganisation), Yorkshire and Cumbria.

Prince Edward Street…about two minutes from the old rugby ground.

Seems to be daily shootings there!!

Which of course is probably the Tories' fault too, to bring the thread back on topic....

Yep…probably (indirectly)…or, if you’re of Tricky’s persuasion…immigrants.

Which brings me to something that hasn't crossed Tricky's mind as that's an easy thing to miss... we're all descended from immigrants aren't we?

I'd like the lad to show me just one person that doesn't have mixed, foreign descendance. Which brings me to the lad himself. I wonder what % of foreign he has in his DNA?

Well Rotherham and Oldham are pretty much the same place aren't they - Northern exclusion zones?
