RIP.

There will be largely radio silence for a while from here, I hope that is understood.

Very sorry to hear that, AK. Please add my sympathies, to all your family. Whether expected or unexpected, such loss is devastating/

I see. So a post in praise of Tessa Jowell, expressing something I am completely certain she agrees with, is inhumane. I think you're searching for offence to take. Ignorance mistaking itself for virtue. There is a nice quiet board where everyone agrees with one another, and where no disagreeable d...

Separate thread for Labour leadership and leave it open for those who want to post in it? I think it's going to have to be necessary.

It really doesn't work, does it? I'm not the one to criticise Robert and his frustrations, having taken exactly the same steps, but it's very noticeable that, on a day when we've set ourselves not to mention Topic A, it still comes up and there's another fracture.

Thanks yahyah - sadly, I expect it to be a short visit. It saddens me to see the repeated attacks on people like Hugo. Whatever people think of where he sits on the left-right scale, he used to be a party member & is now one of many lost to the party. Doubtless there will be people thinking tha...

Batting on a fair wicket? "Last year we won the Ashes! Hooray! And no one rang me to ask my opinion. But that’s not surprising because I know very little about cricket. Ian Botham does. He was one of England’s greatest ever players, indeed a true cricketing legend, so his opinion would actuall...

Good morning all. It's been a week now since I stormed off in anger at someone here having decided to apologise to Hugo for me having called him a troll, and i have to say that it's been a very soothing week.

It's not hot in Stockport right now, in fact it's raining. Between the stresses and strains of work and places closer to home, I've taken an emergency day off work and come home. But first I had to visit the Post Office in the precinct and I couldn't help but appreciate the irony that the song that ...

I'll make this brief.

Last night, someone took it upon themselves to apologise for something I posted here. I take responsibility for what I say and no-one has any right to apologise for me. This is not a place where I can feel free to speak my mind now.

I shalln't be posting for some time.

And I don't believe in leopards changing their shorts.

So I'm switching off now. Good night.

I've said my piece and as far as I'm concerned, Hugo's latest post simply sums up every truth in what I said. Now I shall shut up again.

mbc1955

It's breaking my promise to myself not to respond, but Hugo's latest response demonstrates the true reason why he is correct is assuming that most people's ideal solution would be for him to go away forever. It has nothing to do with our apparent collective inability to understand and appreciate wha...

I’ll see you baby when the clans rise again
Women and men united by the struggle

Got to get it up and shag it

Like a lamb goes to the slaughter
