What a great bargaining position that missive puts her in.

It’s almost like they are to a person pusillanimous sophists who don’t believe anything but will say whatever words they think are expedient at the time, and therefore can never be trusted on anything, ever.

Gaaaah! I get upset by the concept of Grantham just cos she’s from there. I don’t need to see pictures of her!

This one wasn’t a social gathering because “they are in suits.”

One of the previous wasn’t a party because there “was no alcohol” (there was wine in this one).

Probably the only time i will like a post quoting Thatcher the Milk Snatcher’s words in order to highlight the hypocrisy of the Tory party. Where is her statue these days? I heard they were thinking of modding it to have a detachable head because it kept getting decapitated.

I used to stop for a break in Grantham on my regular drives between London and Hull. It wasn’t too bad. FWIW, this was during the Thatcher years, I don’t know what the place is like today.

Everyone I speak to through work from there is lovely. Mind you, as most of the people I speak to are nurses or other NHS staff, that’s unsurprising. It just reminds me of Thatcher, which pisses me off.

I hope you don’t feel the same about Boris Johnson’s birthplace, which is a wonderful town.

Unsafe Space ‘brings diversity of opinion to Radio 4’

The BBC is piloting a new comedy show to combat the perception that all its comedians are from the ‘woke’ liberal left.

Unsafe Space will feature a number of comedians linked to the Comedy Unleashed ‘free-speech’ comedy nights and championed by pressure group The Campaign For Common Sense.”

So a comedy show that will be off the air, as it’s not fucking funny?

I posted this over in the Magical History Tour thread, but I think this belongs here too… it’s from 2018…

She talks about her time as an MP, her US tour, Bloody Sunday (January 30, 1972 in Northern Ireland), as well as some more current issues such as immigration and refugees and the rise of fascism.

Nice to see that 2022 is starting off with a sick sense of humour.
