    Taking the proverbial or what ?

    Headline in the Eco Loons bible the Grauniad from October 2006, which was 18 years ago.

    "Ten years to save the planet from mankind"

    https://www.theguardian.com/politics...litics.economy

    And these fruitcakes now run the country.

    There are an abundance of fruitcakes everywhere you look.

    No room for workplace banter, "inappropriate behaviour complaints now rule OKAY." I'm dead against "a handful or a full boatload of middle-class women of a certain age" and what is the point of ecocars when no-one wants them?

    The previous set of fruitcakes were also all for protecting the climate with the odd exception such as Blow Job.

    The big con continues apace, however, I wish that you guys would stop quoting the Grauniad -----all you get is another begging request.

    I love those Grauniad appeals for readies Sub, it gives me great satisfaction to ignore them.

    The Daily Mail doesn't ask for money Chris, nor as far as I'm aware does the Telegraph. Lefties always have the begging bowl out, it's what they're good at, appropriating other people's money.

    Every time I try to read a Telegraph article it asks me to subscribe, as for the Mail sinky I wouldnt use that as virtual bog paper. My wife used to subscribe to the DM but now she has switched to the telegraph, small mercies i suppose.

    I subscribe to the Telegraph but every time I go for a latte and almond croissant I buy the Mail to read. Excellent newspaper, just off hand their columnists include, Graham Souness, Clive Woodward, Richard Littlejohn, Peter Hitchens, Boris Johnson, Quentin Letts, Daniel Hannan, Oliver Holt and Andrew Neil. All of them a good read, their crossword and puzzle section is the best there is, horse racing coverage better than most and best of all, it gets right up the noses of Lefties. And all for 1 pound 10 pence, you can't beat it.

    Their crptic crossword is above me, I'm more Metro standard but I enjoy their General Knowledge crossword and the Cross Atlantic which is quite novel.

    I use it to wipe mine and the dog's arse. Worth every penny.
