But I'm glad you take solace in the fact that others agree with you (also...there are people outside of DR and KK....just so u know)


I'm happy for you.

I will be in an old folks home. Lying in my own piss. Miserable. Insufficient staff to help me (because, yknow. Brexit)


And then I will remember this line. And I will smile and be happy


It?s not the first self-aggrandising Cat line


But it might be the finest. Bravo sir. Bravo

Many Thanks mal.


The thing is, it's often only regarded as provocative if the views are at odds with the zeitgeist....


Step back and look at how 'provocative' some of the comments here are that are of the right view.....

Russian missile hits airport in western Ukraine


For those that don't know, the distance between Rzeszow in Poland and the Ukrainian border is LESS than 150KM, the Russian bear has stirred and is on the move. The West must do everything possible to stop Putin. Boris has said today a last resort is military action, watch closely.

Putin actually threatened nuclear war if anyone gets in his way (if you watch his news conference this is what I took from it).


Do we do a JFK in the Cuban Crisis and sort of say "bring it on" and hope they back down.


Do we go hard with sanctions and try to support Ukraine with weapons.

'The Pope's about as much use as tits on a fish. If he really gives a hoot he should go directly to Putin and give him a thorough whipping. On the telly.'


You made me laugh very loud - I would only add that Putin should be bare chested when whipped, and we all know he loves showing off his six pack

One can't begin to imagine what it must be like for anyone in Ukraine right now.

But will this fruitcake be satisfied with JUST installing a Putin puppet in Ukraine?

Anyway by way of a black humour diversion, does anyone wonder if Kenny Everett's declaration 'Let's bomb Russia' might become a reality?

Can someone help me understand; Ukraine had the 3rd largest number of nuclear weapons in the world. They signed the NPNWS and disarmed on the promise that UK, US, France would support them militarily.

Are sanctions really sufficient?

Now I'm not advocating nuclear war but I'd be questioning why we gave up our deterent only to be supported by sanctions....

So Lavrov was in a telephone conference this morning and CNN were trying to cover it.


Lavrov kept on trying to bring in a Chinese media group to ask a question (maybe it was a pre-agreed question) but every time he asked for them it went to a CNN reporter in Kyiv who was telling him they were under fire from Russian forces even though Lavrov said they weren't.


Made him look a little stupid today.

They had the Nukes but the Russians had the triggers.


I'd still have been tempted to squirrel one away and hack it.

Salvini, Erdogan, Zeman and Orban have all condemned the present actions of Putin. We all have our differences but when it comes to the crunch (in this case a regime willing to kill to anyone if it suits it) remember that most of us agree on most things most of the time. Not sure about what Donald said though. See you next Tuesday.

So there's two tales of Ukrainian Heroes - one true one maybe not so true.


The soldiers on Snake Island who on being told to surrender by a Russian Boat responded "Russian Warship, F**k you" before being killed.

and

The F29 above Kyiv that has supposedly shot down 6 Russian planes and become the first Ace Fighter of the 21st century and is now known as "The Ghost of Kyiv".


The fact these stories are going round the world isn't helping Putin.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Boycotting US products

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
