It isn’t ‘alleged’. Millions witnessed it with their own eyes.

The trawl renaming isn’t quite as polite, as you can imagine 😆

Thank you Jemma and Marina. You make it all almost bearable.

Me too. Most overrated children’s books ever.

I agree. I’ve had children and grandchildren and have never liked them but always felt it was sacrilegious to say so. There are so many brilliant children’s stories out there, why would you even bother?

Watch and learn, Starmer. Watch and learn.

Yes but why let the truth get in the way of a good story?

What? You mean he’s not on BBC Question time again tonight? That’s a shame; was hoping to see the audience reaction to him and Fiona supporting him.

I’m guessing she hasn’t a clue.

Agree. But there quite a distance between libraries now.

Dugmore’s face when Hoey suggests inviting Trump to the Port Rush golf tournament. 😆

Yep; that’s how these narcissists work. Same as Farage - Brexit’s a failure because it wasn’t done his way.

Exactly. But journalists seem to back off when he gets tetchy and petulant. What are they afraid of? If he refuses further interviews as a result, eventually he’d only have GB News left as a forum.

Why is this grifter even being given airtime?

Not really au fait with the works of one of the greatest groups of musicians ever, is she? I’m guessing she thinks the Birdie song is up there too.

What a brilliant recruitment by Charlotte. Recruit someone to throw under the bus.

Perfect ‘pudding’ for Jemma’s and Marina’s ‘The Trawl’.

Their next move will be to ban women from becoming priests.

My 10 y.o granddaughter’s primary has over 600 pupils + nursery, has a library, no librarian. She’s an avid reader but no one in school talks to her about her reading choices,makes suggestions or guides her, so she chooses more of the same. She would take more notice of a librarian than of me.

But why? Scrunch them up and stuff them in a basket, then close the cupboard door.

I saw Jack interviewed onTV. He was ousted after getting off the train and then not securing support from the other players. He says he was just trying to be nice and that he did it as he’s a good person. I don’t think he’s quite grasped the objective of the game.

He’s been busy in the trenches.

Brilliant! - just like Lee.

Summer holiday books, greasy and smelling of sun cream, sand falling out from between the pages, which slowly fall out because the sun has dried out the glue.

That’s a bit harsh!

Yes. That’s what is so upsetting.

Yes. she was reacting to the woman on her left saying asylum seekers shouldn’t be allowed to seek asylum seekers whatever the circumstances. It upset me so much I had to switch off after that.

But if the survey of the most popular names use the births register, would Mohammed be first on the birth certificate? (I genuinely don’t know and am interested)
