You forgot the PTO.

I hang my head at the required level of shame.

It's there now with an apology.PTO's aren't what they used to be.

After fifty years of thinking John Cleese(indeed the whole Monty Python thing)was always overrated and only occasionally a bit funny...

"The worst part of institutions is not physical violence, obvious forms of abuse or neglect. It’s not even the experiences you don’t get to have. It’s the damage that is done right down to your soul, by living under the power of other human beings. Glamour makes no difference. Prettiness makes no difference. Size makes no difference. Even length of time makes less difference past a certain point than you’d think."

Such basic freedoms and control of course can be equally denied by lack of necessary support or contingent on satisfying the sufficiently pathetic for the benefit of the State /you have to deny yourself some rights in order to secure others.

I have no idea what "Englishness"means beyond barely hidden racist twaddle

JC taking a stance against the increased obsession with money since his upbringing by not paying tax,that sort of "Englishness?"

Hurrah for the good old fashioned Englishness of my youth that segregated and denied many peoples' existence at all.

This quality made her [Queen Victoria] a better, more instinctive politician, said Worsley, and was a familiar face and voice on TV and radio. (Guardian)

Well, I never. I must brush up on my history.

Man on train was annoyingly peering over at my laptop screen. ‘Keep going!’ he said, ‘just think, you might get it published one day.’ I gave him the Death Stare of a woman who has published ten books.

This was in today's Times - always good to see bigotry being slapped down...and richly ironic to see Mad Mel being on the same page as the very people she rails against.

I thought it was just me. I think it took a full minute for my brain to get into the proper gear.

HindleA · Post by **HindleA** » Thu 30 May, 2019 10:10 pm

It wasn't until 1970,I think until the names of party were included on election ballots,how did it deal with the same name as occured last week?

Oh, didn't know that (the 1970s thing). It follows that I don't know the answer to the question, either.
