Political Discussions And Ranting Thread
maryportfuncity replied to Deathray's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
A good point I've discussed with one or two people I know, i.e., whether the present Tories have been so blind to encroaching danger that they could go the way of 1920s Liberals. Personally, I think they'll have a rabid internal fight after being demolished electorally, and turn it round. But very hard to call. -
A gift to the government, frankly - the second he lands in Rwanda the gap in the polls closes by ten points!

Two more ministers gone - the sense of a car with a misfiring engine and barely functional steering is very strong - in the not too distant future the Tories will be obliged to look united and try and convince us they're the future! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-68669507 -
Aye, bit harsh on the average penis to have to endure such a comparison, eh?

Or we discover Liz Truss is so-named because of a fondness for bondage

Labour gain either way, surely - it took Corbyn to lose the place, so doable to restore the Red Wall, IMHO anyway.

Aye, exactly that - stand off with the record company who had the right to stop them using the name. Not that anyone in the UK was in any doubt the Revillos were an offshoot of The Rezillos Saw them both, though haven't seen the reformed line up.

Article in today's Sunday Times about the extent of cyber-interference from China in our politics (hacking, jamming, disinformation etc.) Reassuring in a way, so we do still matter a bit, then! -
Indeed, but I was more thinking of UK obit chances, a shoo-in on the back of his record storming our charts a couple of times

Just saw this online - taken two years back. They're all still alive, actor James Darren, Wink Martindale and Frankie Avalon. Martindale was 90 in December, best known as a radio DJ in the states but obitable if only because his own version of Deck of Cards was a world wide hit

Mass confusion, mind Can't trust half the claims online and Putin's already indicating Ukraine had a "window" of safety for the attackers to flee - current newsfeed at the Beeb doing their best to sort the gems from the shite: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-68642036 -
Stairway To Heaven/ Highway To Hell

Brain aneuryism a decade ago, no sign of the problem now. Also had a neck problem from years of crouching over his drums, dunno if the intervention was surgical or just manipulative. But he was as good as the other tub thumpers on show last night and Saxon, second on the bill, didn't slow down once. -
Stairway To Heaven/ Highway To Hell

Form studying opportunity last night, was close enough to get a good look at three bands with over 150 years of hard rockin' between them Uriah Heep - predictably professional and Mick Box (77 this summer) on impressive form, clearly loving every second of their short set. Saxon - or to be more precise Biff Byford (73) and Nigel Glockler (71), hard and fast for an hour. Byford is still in command of the stage and Glockler handled a kit with double bass drums impressively Judas Priest - specifically 72-year-old Rob Halford, hard rockin', stunning visuals but Halford (who's a recovering addict with a fondness for marching powder and alcohol behind him) did himself no favours following Byford. It was all a bit dad-dancing, wandering round in circles waving the mic, and a lot of forward leaning (assuming he was reading a monitor for the lyrics of more recent songs). Oh aye, and multiple changes of coat, jacket and shades (on and off) meant he vanished between most songs, my mate and I wondering whether the oxygen tank was stood next to the clothes rack. Not thinking he's close to death. Definitely wishing we'd seen them 15 years back. -
Superficially looks great, Trump could get a massive windfall selling 42% of his social media company (and therefore fund his legal bond), however it's worth noting the auditor who looked at this company about a year back said that it's at risk of failure> https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-68609007
