I do like Harry's attempt to liven this one up, but I will go for "Labour hold" tonight, I think. I will stifle my yawn though.

Don't be embarrassed you can admit, that not for the first time, you made yourself look like a complete dick. You didn't think about what you posted you just thought it was a good dig at those foreigners. You pathetic individual.

All I said that with their smartphones and cash to run them, shows that these so called migrants are not refugees. You may love them, Saddened, so take them to your bosom or better still your house, and see how much you'll love then then. Stop acting like a spoilt child.
Wouldn't you? Would you leave your phone at home?
Possibly even worse than Kendall
I'm sure a few decades ago that was different but get with the times.
My faith in her is restored.
OT I was clearing out my old email and reminded about Seb - how he's doing?
A curious behaviour. Almost like she didn't want to win, until it was too late.
Also the sending back home of unrepresentative photos (e.g. posing with cars outside showrooms, etc) from those who have made it to Europe only encourages more to try...
Unless you meant "necklace", of course...
The Avengers is on Ch 61 at the mo. It has Patrick Cargill at his inestimable sneering best with fellow villain Garfield Morgan - both identical and sinister in dark glasses. Just like the Agent Smiths in the Matrix. Who said everything is derivative?
But she's realised what's about to happen to Labour and wants to save her party's soul
More Northern tests and one-dayers please.
Yvette did bugger all as a Shadow or CabMin - one of those people who you remember on Linked In, but for doing nothing.
Well, yeah, with a genuinely evil force causing entire populations to flee or face death, it's a bit easier than usual, to be fair...
I suppose it makes sense. After all, Labour is about the only organisation at the moment that makes the good men and women of the Chilcott Inquiry appear competent ...
"Of course we're going to see Hitler and Nazis mentioned more and more on threads, what with UKIP on the rise, people will rightly make those comparisons"
It was the equivalent of throwing laxatives into the monkey house and sitting back and enjoying the fun
Or maybe not... it could be that technology is stunting evolution, leading us battery drained into a blind alley.
Buy a smartphone in many third world countries and you are quite likely to get a knock-off of varying degree and quality. There is a massive business in China atm making these.
The 'good' companies copy designs of previous generations of phones (e.g. Apple iPhone 3, Samsung S4), which they can now make very cheaply as the tech has moved on (often parts are cheaper, as supplier factories have production lines empty as the big companies moved over to the latest and greatest).
The 'bad' companies try to copy the latest designs (so-called 'clones') using old tech and sometimes spit and glue (seriously), and sell them as the latest and greatest. Some are quite funny.
The 'best' Chinese companies try to compete with Apple, Samsung etc by going for niche markets with products only partially copied. They at least put some R&D effort in.
My phone's a Samsung S2. It does everything I need it to, despite the fact it is a very old design. It would also be fairly cheap to make nowadays.
E.g.: how about the $12 (retail) slightly smartphone:

Or how about picking up iPhone 4 schamatics on your local Chinese market?

Britain has to lead this with pragmatism, realism and humanity. Germany can keep the insanity.

'Jezza has some pretty spectacular neck veins.
What happened to his trademark grey T shirt ?
Except we lost him.

The audience enthusiasm may be more significant, since that was selected to be a representative sample of Labour leadership voters.

I still remember her complaint from several years ago that Exeter was a lovely place for the BNP because it had so few black faces, and that Devon and Cornwall were too white and it needed addressing.
Lets keep our fingers crossed for Cameron because in the middle of all this hysteria it's not going to be easy.
And lets not lose site of the hysteria of the migrants. It is a strange behaviour that goes beyond a move from any immediate danger.
A propaganda piece, brought to you by the BBC.
Also, by implication, is she saying that Cameron is not helping the Syrians because he is racist?
One wonders how she can cope with all the moral superiority that she thinks she has.
'Emma Thompson seems to have a real obsession with race and whiteness'
Every luvie is compelled to make a comment to show their moral superiority and faux outrage.
Get ready for Labour: the Zombie Years
"In Arabia, the women get stoned when they commit adultery. Here, they commit adultery when they get stoned. "
The Plaid Cymru candidate in the Caerffili by-election is not just any old Ron Davies.
It is the Ron “Badgers" Davies.
I think Ron has held this seat before. So it may be slightly more interesting than Labour Yawn Hold.

I fast forwarded this luvvy tart so didn't pick this up. The statement says more about her than anyone else and Maitlis didn't even blink, obviously confident that the tart wasn't talking about her. Self righteous, pompous, scum bags like Thompson make me sick to my stomach.
