Do you have a link for:.......
^ We can take that as a "No" then. Which compliments your further incorrect statement that Starmer was "ATTORNEY general".

BTW - Dr google searches a lot deeper than just the Guardian and the BBC.

You will not have read in the Guardian or heard via the BBC but comments made by aspiring politicians earlier in their careers have come to light and both Starmer and Lammy have been critical of NATO , and documents from the office of the ATTORNEY general when that high office was held by Starmer prove that attempts to prosecute Saville for child molestation were either sidelined deliberately , or conveniently lost.
For those who like assuming what people think I have not posted anything favorable about JRM
Maybe you've missed it but certain present day politicians are critical of NATO right now.

Nobody wants to assume anything about your thoughts but can you post a citation or link to this "proof" of the CPS's mismanagement of the Savile affair under Starmer? We're all eyes and ears. Posting "do your own research" isn't an appropriate response either. Neither is a link to some vvanker on YouTube.

Now, stop prevaricating and talking about things of no consequence from 20-odd years ago and try and articulate what is it that you like about the currently elected British government?

Your links seem to be centered around the Guardian.
Have you ever wondered why the Guardian circulation figures are so rock bottom liw compared to other UK dailies. Well people have wised up as they have also with BBC(joke) news .Utterly biased.

No, not recently and certainly not since you started posting rubbish.

You're beginning to sound like my best mate Alex. Do you want your own hot-button meme?

I see the trash media in the UK as a major UK weakness. It's significantly responsible for a catastrophically mismanaged Brexit and poorly functioning political system. Yeah, yeah, I know many Brits are still in denial on the catastrophe but reality is starting to bite. I don't see The Guardian as trash. A bit leftie, but not trash.

Ah Brit Tabloids and politicians all speak with forked tongue both of the two aforementioned speak in some cases utter rubbish as many do on here to create a discussion, argument or just because they are downright stupid about the subject they are talking about . They are expected to spout something to in some cases boost their own EGO or to up the ratings, no matter how outlandish their speech is.

We all look at the news some prefer one particular feed be it FOX, CNN, BBC, or any other Feed, some will look at many to try to get to the truth which will be mired in Political correctness, lies, utter B/S, and you really have to struggle on some occasions what is the truth .

I refer to an old Buddhist saying attributed to Buddha . I paraphrase: Do not believe anything that you personally have not verified to the best of your ability . Be it written , said by someone in authority , or even documented.

We have seemingly LOST our previous ability to read, check and use our brains to determine what is fact or falsehood, believing what it written or said by people who in the main have not got a clue but in many cases some hang onto their every word as Gospel .

I remember once while teaching a Thai teacher was expounding the use of a word ( for the life of me I cannot remember what it was but that is immaterial ), I do remember thinking I have never in my life used that word, so when I challenged this NEW young teacher, his reply well it was on the internet so I thought it was in general use.

So Children were being told to use a word I had never used in my entire life because someone did not check and find out the truth , believing instead what was on a Un-veri9fi9ed web-site.
The same can be said if a politician, Superstar, a well known person speaks, Truth .is VERY ELUSIVE, as no money to be made from the TRUTH.


Me personally I do not care what people think of me, I will never intentionally lie or tell or write untruths, if I do make a mistake I apologise. So of you think I am rambling, move on and ignore me, I care NOT one JOT.

Crikey, that's a long one. Are you having trouble sleeping tonight, old chum? Still, not as long as the posts that Desmond submits.

Boris gives a gong to Gavin Williamson, the UK's second worst cabinet minister ever. The Chris Gayling benchmark of Tory nincompoopery remains unsullied.

So are you saying that the "BIT LEFTIE" Guardian is the only rag in the UK that is not trash???
It would be really interesting to know what information you are party to in your little isolated rock that allows you to state what catastrophe that is really starting to bite in the UK.
Please don't include any Pandemic causes as they are a worldwide phenomenon and not just attributable to Brexit.

A gong as you aptly called it is a Medal pinned to the Left breast of the recip[ient most of the time, however a Knighthood is when you are dubbed and given a medal warn around the neck as you also aptly show.; There is a difference to most but not all..........lol

Can they be pinned to the right breast if the left one is full (as is often the case in Thailand)
