Renton

This thought comes to me listening to Badenoch and Brewer-Hartley.

Cheers. I see the semblance. 👍

Oh my, the next probable leader of the conservative party. Incredible.

Yeah, I partly chose to do Medicine at Liverpool because I had researched that it had the lowest proportion of private school educated students in that faculty. Even there though, in the late 80s, it was something like 55% of the intake. I guess I drifted towards the state educated clique, as we were in the minority. Like you, of course some of the private lot were sound but most really weren't. Hopefully its evened out a bit since then as Medicine has been seriously degraded as a career by the tories (so has law as it happens).

Oh wait, apparently according to the usual loonies, it was all a despicable ploy by Keir Hardy to score politcal points. Silly me. What an absolute weird Alice through the Looking Glass world some of us live in.

I am convinced the upper class genuinely do not give a fuck about those in "lower stations". By upper class I mean the Eton/WInchester brigade. And this of course includes the aristocracy and the royal family. No empathy, no thought, we're like insects to them. I actually learned this back in the day when Mrs Rents was a trainee barrister and I had to meet these fuckers at the traditional dinners you had to go to at the Inns of Court. I remember one dinner where they got some semi-famous singer at the time and he sang "Streets of London". They all loved that, apparently completely oblivious to the meaning of the lyrics, like Cameron liking "Eton Rifles" (although on reflection he probably did understand and like the lyrics). Afterwards I met some Duchess or other who asked where I was from. "Newcarsle? Oh, I've been there once, dreadful place". She then regaled me with a delightful story about how on the time she came up to Newcarsle, as the train was leaving Kings Cross, she remembered she had forgotten something, got the conductor to stop the train and reverse back into the station. Train was only an hour late apparently, no matter the inconvenience to hundreds of northerner plebs. And yet. A sizable proportion of people from our region still tug their forelocks and doff their caps for these fuckers. I wish we'd had a French style revolution and exterminated the fuckers personally.

Apart from the horrendous insensitivity and crassness of Sunak here, and his trademark refusal to apologise,what really actually upsets me here is the fact it is dog whistle politics like this that leads to murders like Brianna. He is the prime minister, the leader of the country, he knows this, and yet he still does this. As Alex said, whether or not Brianna's mother is present shouldn't make a difference. The way this lot of tories have debased everything this country stands for is truly sickening. And they call themselves patriots. I don't want them voted out. I want them to go extinct.

There were cheers behind and to the side of him. Crys of "shame" from in front of him. They are almost to a man/woman utter, utter cunts.

Unbelieveable this. I hope it gains some traction. It might considering the absolute horrific nature of the murder.

Completely agree. The NUFC coach needs to pull up outside the PL offices and drop off our L team. L for lawyer.

Dunno where to put this but this thread has good traffic so... Was watching Martin Lewis last night. Anyone who has purchased a car on PCP or HP since 2007 may be due thousands back for being misold. The example he gave was a car worth 7k with PCP at 5% you would get 1 to 2k back. Probably optimistic, but pretty sure this applies to me for much higher values, so worth the punt of filling in a template and a few e-mails. https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/reclaim/mis-sold-car-finance/

First Toploader, now this? I will have to console myself with my Morrissey collection. Ahhh fuck...

Gemmill 30 years ago. "Ha'way man my fellow fan of massive lads. [whisper]. Everton are going down this year marra. Mark me words, put a ton down at 10-1. Like printing money marra".

Watched it last night and can't say I noticed. I'm glad this is the last series though as the cast are getting seriously old, as is the formula. I'm finding Leon Black is now the funniest character purely for the slapstick. Thought he was shite when he first joined.

She's the daughter of a lefty University lecturer isn't she? Sure Freud would have a field day on her.

Aye, histroically the most unpopular PM since records began.

Think the PL did produce a dossier onher, and this was passed onto the police and then the club. This included information such as when and where she walked her dog? Think I read that anyway. Tbh I don't know the ins and outs of what she said and avoid transgender politics with a barge pole, partly because it has no impact on my life, and partly because it seems to bring out the worst in people - as in this case with her nazi/hitler/flag burning shit. But unless she was doing this at the match or was in some other way connecting herself to the club in her social media, I feel quite uneasy about her getting banned for her views, which have been deemed not criminal. I've written a fair bit on here that could see the shady cabal knocking at my door I reckon.

Popcon, a contraction of "Popular Conservatism", fighting for democracy and accountability. Led by that incredibly popular, democratic and "small c" conservative, Liz Truss. Howay, I'm living in a simulator and the operator is playing tricks on me, is that it? Is this the sign?

Wokist post office wibble. How she has the nerve to state she is fighting for democracy when she was installed as PM without an electoral vote and within 4 weeks fucked the country I do not know. Some brass neck this.

Jesus Christ. I can see a new bestseller here. "The Monkey's Fist Little Book of Anecdotes". Forward by HMHM. I'll be editor and look after the financials. [Actually I will have work in the pipeline for HMHM too, but not sure if his spoof "Secret Diary of Lee Ryder aged 44 3/4 year" is a bit niche?]

I noticed Sam Fender samples the "Get off the Metro.... NOW" kid at the start of Howdon Aldi Death Queue. I've been listening a bit to Fender recently as my kids actually love him and it's so much better than listening to Dua Lipa, Harry Styles, Taylor Swift etc. I can't get my Google home hub to play him though. Every fucking time I say "Play Sam Fender" it starts playing ambient background noise of being in a thunder storm, the stupid AI cunt. Must think I'm a cockney.

Spoilers ffs.

Dunno, probably blood work yes, but you're not going to expose someone to regualr full body CT scans because of the cumulative radiation exposure. Anyway, I guess he can get himself down to one of his homeopathic hospitals he got funded from tax payers' money to get it sorted anyway. 👍

That's the spirit. You've got the hang of this pensioner malarkey already. 👍
