If you're going to lie you need a good memory.

I suspect the "hacking" story was thrown out because (as alluded) Farage and his elk have been conned into thinking cr*pto is somehow anonymous. So when the story emerged, they presumed they had been "hacked" (probably because it's what they would have done) so it was a safe excuse. Easily backed up with their bargain basement security team.

Also, it's .... interesting ... timing that this all comes out in such volume when a lot of the nation is scouring news sites for footie stories.

(See how easy it is to be a paranoid Reformista ?)

Why now ?

Click bait from the Independent, well I never.

Hello and as aways, still reading and thankful for these threads. I am flummoxed as to why and how Farage just keeps walking on from his shit?!
In other news local Reform councillors are playing whopper of shit stirring game against one of our local councillors. It is absolutely desperate and disgraceful.
In other, other news I am thinking that my cat should get Larry’s job at 10 North. 🙂

Manchester Town Hall is similar in design to Westminster and is lovely 🤩. Right next to a church as well.

Though security would be an issue for the likes of Farage. Badenoch would fit in perfectly.

It is lovely (as is their central library) but I thought it was closed for structural renovations?

Didn't know that.

It’s going to reopen next year.

Harborne has identified a U.K. address as his voting address. I’d have thought you might need more to be considered a resident. Like, say, living here.

Maybe that’s what I read. I bet he doesn’t pay a penny of tax here.

Has anyone else seen this today looks like Sir Keir is starting to have some fun!

i can’t help feeling that if we had more if this from the start we wouldn’t be where we are now!

Quite @rockstarshoes
He’s perfectly capable of connecting with people and coming across as ‘normal’. One has to wonder who advised him not to and why he listened.

That’s brilliant @rockstarshoes. Thank you for sharing it.

Excellent news

Sky (Comcast) buying ITV.
Seems to me we don’t need a further contraction of news producers.

Congratulations to the England supporters! It must have been so exciting.

@DuncinToffee I had a brief look at the football thread. I see you received that taunt about nationality again. Horrible.💐

I really hope the England team does well. It’s exactly the morale boost the country needs. My dad was football obsessed, as a result my upbringing was like aversion therapy but even I had a hint of a glow when I saw the news coverage this morning.

Predictable bad loser shite from someone who supposedly cares about sport.

I kind of want Belgium to win now, just to wind up Trump and make his grubby interference useless.

Old familiar name following DT around, it seems.

Ach, derxa is just playing disruptor.

She and Clav have made similar comments in the past

I think we are all Belgium for the next game, not for the tournament win though.
