Re: Starmer and the -erm syndrome

President Trump admired Starmer's English accent. Remember he is a guy from Queens, NY.
On the other hand I listened to his spoken words complete with six or seven "-erms" per sentence. I came to...

Re: Starmer and the -erm syndrome

Starmer and the -erm syndrome

When the British press publishes a transcript of a Keir Starmer speech, do they include all the times he says "-erm"?
Because, by my count, he says "-erm" about every third word.
You could create a...

Re: End of the Forum?

And sneaking away and buggering off

Only those of our...

Re: The Reform Party

Apparently it is run by Nigel Farage.
From what I read they are tagged as the real opposition to Labor.
It was the more subscriptions than the Tories comment that surprised me.

The Reform Party

I read today that the newest political party in Britain, The Reform Party, now has more members or subscribers than the Tory Party.
Well I never!
Who saw that coming?

Uninvited Starm Troopers

We were recently invaded by uninvited Starm Troopers here on a mission to help elect Cackling Kamala. That, by definition, is clearly election interference even though it failed miserably.

Re: Accrington Victoria hospital

I remember fondly Accrington Victoria Hospital where my appendix was removed when I was eight years old. I also had several broken bones set there during my misspent youth.

It could be worse. You could be like France.

Equally bewildering, if not more so is the situation in France.
Watching the pending French election, admittedly from afar and with only a casual interest, I understood there was about to be a...

Re: Math of the Labour Landslide

I am not sure I have a grasp on this "First Past the Post" system other than to leap to the conclusion that it is probably a scam!

Math of the Labour Landslide

This Labour “landslide” victory is based on some odd math.
The unassailable Labour majority in Parliament received the votes of only 34% of those who voted. In fact only 60 percent of eligible...

The First Family Car

Our family did not possess a car until 1956. Post WWII and public transportation was convenient, affordable and frequent. Then my dad bought a 1936 Ford 10. That's right. 1936. Imagine that. I...
