Go fund me for Starmer.

[scorpiogirly]

I'm starting a go fund me to send Starmer on a one way trip into space. Who's with me?

Lighthearted. Ish.

I quite like him.
Didn't mind Rishi or Teresa either.
At least they all seemed serious and professional.

It's the twisted evil shits like Farage that I can't cope with and the smug incompetent nonchalance of Boris and Hancock et al.

Carry on Sir Starmer.

Without doubt. Inspired, if not sponsored, by the Mail and Telegraph.

Carry on Sir Starmer

I say!

No, I never said that you said that. Read my post.
I don't think there's a problem with Starmer's voice. That's not in my top main concerns for a Prime Minister.
I am aware of Walter Ulbricht and his high pitched voice. Shall we discuss the 1953 Uprising and the issues of the DDR? It could be an interesting tangent.

This. Some people on here are judging on superficial qualities. Which is a shame

Sure, start a thread on the DDR if you like, save this one heading off on a tangent. Not sure it would be that popular though. 😬

Let's see:
"To what extent were the economic policies of the DDR a success 1953-61?"
My yr12s have just completed this essay. No marks to anyone referring to his voice or physique.

Do we need to imagine? Plenty has been said about our female priminsiters looks over the years.

Interesting that my previous post saying that only paid trolls from hostile nations would not want the best for the UK got deleted... Is that not just a statement of fact? It was not aimed at anyone in particular and yet someone must have complained. How prickly.

Its only the old folk businesses are jumping for joy. Finally they can trade abroad without so much red tape.

We studied 'the interwar years', essentially the rise of facism in Germany and Itay, when I did Higher History in S5 - while it definitely was interesting and also an important topic, I probably find the Ulbricht/Honecker period(s) more interesting. I was actually considering studying history at Uni, but ended up going down a completely different subject route.

Youngsters can travel and study abroad. Our food and bills will be cheaper. The Brexit vote was a selfish vote and finally my vote for labour has been worth it.

Yes, more opportunities can only be good.

Clearly, that's meant to be Italy.

I think he’s done a good job, three trade deals, cuts to welfare, there just isn’t the money. Cuts to immigration- again there isn’t the money.

it’s not the 90s and Gordon has a pot of gold to sell. These are hard times and if we don’t deal with it then Reform will get in

Ah! Interesting. I find the post war Germanys fascinating, such an interesting time. Although at university I did Renaissance and Reformation, and my post grad was in that field.
As well as A level History, I teach A level Politics, which is reassuringly popular.

What on earth are "old folk businesses"?

I'd rather send Farage.

I'd contribute to that for sure.

😅😂

I've haven't ever studied politics in an official capacity, though I loved economics at school - in fact when I was considering history I was considering joint honours with economics. I don't regret my degree and PhD in the area I choose, but do sometimes wonder if life would be different had I chosen the other appealing path....such is life though! 😀
For now I'll be happy with podcasts and documentaries, it's good German practice too.

Sorry I should have put a full stop. 🫣

At least he finally spoke up about Gaza! Finally

To buy fish and chips is £13.50. £10 for cod and £3.50 for chips come on we are being robbed.

Oh I see! 😂 I genuinely didn't understand what an old folks business was!
