Once again we’re here, As true then as it is today.
You can’t make somebody feel there in more money in their bank account than there actually is.
Course they’re not.
How many others have we heard about going around twatting people in the street?
Here’s one…

Guy assaults someone, person reacts violently. I don’t see a problem.

The most remarkable thing about that clip for me is that as recently as 2001 it was so easy to assault the Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

If I remember rightly, Blair laughed it off as ‘John being John’.

Was that before John reached celebrity status on top gear?
Had a row with my aunt about this (Labour MP) at the time. My stance: “That’s a person who could potentially have his hand on the nuke button and his first instinct when threatened is to lash out full tilt”
Her “Well it could have been anything he was hit with”
Me “Wasn’t a baseball bat though was it”
Thankfully we finally have leaders that are dealing with impropriety in the correct manner.

David Lammy, lunchtime news.
In 2019 David Lammy said that Donald Trump was “deluded, dishonest, xenophobic, narcissistic” and “no friend of Britain”.
He now says he was mistaken and that he meant to say he is a jolly nice chap who offered him a second portion of chicken during their recent dinner.

This is why now, i hate all politicians and political parties. They are all in it for the power and money.
We have to pay their wages through our hard earned taxes.

My comment is in response to Noo_Noo misquoting me, followed by a hurrah from the usual crowd. I didn’t say putting up taxes up on the ‘working person’, but the response suggested I did.
Again, this was in response to Noo_Noo reiterating my original point.
You will also find that I have clearly stated (at least twice) that I understand why Reeves may have had to raise taxes for exactly the same reasons you have repeated.
“This is not ideal”, really?? So Labour raises NI on Employers and the OBR comes back saying that their estimates, forecast three quarters of the costs falling on the employee -or in Labour terms ‘the working person’. And your response is that it is not ideal? And follow it up by laying the blame on the employers!
I’m not sure I understand the point you are making. Could you explain please 
. This is a genuine request.
The point I was trying to make if you take into context the other points I raised is that, there has been a lot of scrutiny about the ambiguity of the statement Labour made about raising NI, Taxes, etc.
The Tories advised, that Labour - in their manifesto - had only ruled out NI rises to the employee. Furthermore, Rachel Reeves [told Sky News] on 28 May: “For the duration of the next parliament there will be no increases in income tax and national insurance.” This is misleading, is it not? If it was the Tories, you would all be in uproar, Stealth tax, hitting the poor, people having less money and yet all you can say is that it is not ideal.
This leads me full circle to the original, original point, made to @redfanman where I suggested/stated that ‘Leave’ did not have a mandate, so that did not have the power to implement any of their statements, they were not in Goverment - fact. Ironically, the PM, who was pushing for ‘Remain’ - the slim ball David Cameron - told the biggest lie to all of us by saying he would stay on and carry out the wishes of the “Public Vote” if it was to Leave.
And that additionally, contrary to the common perception held here, lying, speculation, over promising, misconduct is not a one party problem.

You must allow people to voice their suspicions and speculations on a forum though, I think. We are sitting here, debating most things in this world, from football to politics and everything in between. I don’t think it’s truly fair to “arrest” anyone for speculating. If they are malicious, cruel in their specultions then that is very, very different, but to voice a suspicion that it could be terror related is just something people will do; I think. I personally doubt it was terror related, he doesn’t seem to fit the profile of a young jihadi and I suspect he was more interested in generally hurting/killing people. But I speculate too, not knowing enough like most of us.
On the other hand, I realise the special situation in the UK where you actually had actual race riots when blood was up after the murders, but I think enough time has now passed for spontanious rage and race riots to be less of an issue.
Finally finished reading all those posts since Part 4 started. Many involving Gammon (insult) - Wikipedia
