Election Year or Fear!

I believe they stood charged with making swan curry, which would just add insult to injury

Quite popular in West Bengal apparently.
Anyway, we traditionally eat chicken, duck, turkey, partridge, pheasant, grouse, goose, pigeon and two dozen ‘blackbirds baked in a pie’. Why not Swan…apart from its impractical size being incompatible with most modern ovens?

I suppose the fairly low population of Swans would be an issue. One does worry if illegal immigrants up and down the country are eating Swans in their thousands then we could have another Dodo situation on our hands.

Based on the number of Swans and number crossing on small boats, then if uncle Nigels claims are true then they are probably due to be extinct by Tuesday.

Anyway speaking of our Nige, he's not very happy with Sir Kier right now.

That deserves a LOL.

I haven't seen the speech in full, but the issue seems time be they think it's inciting violence, although from the summary I haven't seen anything to suggest it is.

So inciting violence, Farage has a history of doing so, and spends his time happily in the company of racist violent individuals so he would know i guess if it was, so if Starmer did incite violence I'd agree it's not acceptable.

Looks like Richard Tice has been stating Starmer said things he didn't in his speech.

Outright lies it would seem, but as they say , how do you know a reform politician is lying?, he's speaking.

Only the other day Reform claim no one even knows who Nathan Gill is, despite Farage clearly knowing him very well.

Ha ha classic!!

Its odd though, if one can appreciate that Starmer is actually doing a better job than the the last lot and not unsurprisingly finding government difficult having taken over a "a complete mess", plus the external issues in the world which is impacting on every government.

Whilst acknowledging that him and the government have made mistakes, need to improve on messaging and presentation and focus on more policies which can quickly make a positive difference to people's lives, that one poster at least considers that "blinkered".

The same poster who uses what he sees on Facebook or his anecdotal experience to from his world view!!
