There's none as blind as those who refuse to see.The devil makes work for idle hands. First take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye You should know, if anyone, John Lovely quotes, no idea what relevance they have! But bring it on, I say, clean the place up even more than the excellent move Admin made in binning the racists, there was no need for any of that nor any of this childish name calling nonsense There's none as blind as those who refuse to see.

Actions speak louder than words. Always best to lead by example. A stitch in time saves nine. Judge not and thou will not br judged. Let him who is without sin cast the first stone. Quite right, John, well said! Admin taking a much firmer line on childish name-calling wouldn't concern me in the slightest. However, I think Voidy and Partick and a few others would be looking for new forums pretty sharpish, just like Crappy and Matty got binned off I'm going nowhere mate- only way you'll avoid me is to take a sabbatical yourself. Anyway, are you counting Huddy in your blacklist, or is the old myopia kicking in again? Why have you picked PP over someone who calls people retards? (rhetorical question there as we all know the answer to that 😉). Interesting that you also seem to have a blanket ban on mentioning your comrade Momo receiving his cards for abuse too....purely coincidental I'm sure 🙂 Oh, and Admin are well aware of your previous shenanigans regarding name calling.

Sound advice for everyone, John, let's see how many manage... Can't be bothered to monitor it personally, got better things to do. I think you mentioned being "civil" and " grown men" One of the best songs ever don't think it was ever released as a single

In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king. To turn a phrase from my late granddad “women sulk, men fallout. So go with least said soonest mended and you’ll have a long marriage and decent mates” it’s done me well so far Generally, I'd agree, but Voidy is managing to nurse a ten year sulk over something which never happened in the first place "It did, it did, I tell you it did"...etc, for the next two pages...

Not sulking mate, just paying it back with interest despite your futile attempts at revisionism. As I've said before, if you can't take it don't dish it out- and if you're so opposed to name calling you need to be applying those criticisms to all comers rather than conveniently editing out the many transgressions made by Left Wing Club. Once you do that your concerns about messageboard etiquette will be taken with a bit more credibility 🙂 If you do reply I'll satisfy your craving for the last word, I promise. I know how people like you need your little victories!

Turns out that the Doctor is a big Elvis fan ,Voidy. Says he's brilliant for therapy. She asked why I brought him up , so I referred her to you. Showed her a couple of your posts......she's very concerned about you. Asked me to ask you to give her a ring ASAP.... I'll PM you with her number. (she specialises in psychiatry).

This has been going on for decades. The music industry is another example .When was the last time you heard a British group who criticise the government have a protest song in the charts or even played on the airwaves? All banned. Or begrudgingly played at 1 am on BBC Shetland.

John Major responds to the decision to cut aid spending... "It is, frankly, staggering that the only cut the government has made is to spending to help the poorest people on the planet in the middle of a pandemic, when this amounts to approximately 1pc of the borrowing on Covid in the past year. It seems that we can afford a 'national yacht' that no-one either wants or needs, whilst cutting help to some of the most miserable and destitute people in the world". Like I said yesterday, they know very well how their words and actions get received by certain sections of the electorate, this government. Maybe charity should begin at home...? Back here already. So soon?

Like I said yesterday, they know very well how their words and actions get received by certain sections of the electorate, this government. Maybe charity should begin at home...? Back here already. So soon? We are agreed that the government should not be cutting the foreign aid budget, the amount of borrowing to cover it is minimal compared with what we have to borrow to recover from the pandemic. However we should remember: 1. A lot of foreign aid does not actually get to the people who need it, or could be given to better causes. www.politico.eu/article/china-uk-foreign-aid-95-percent/I remember horror stories from the past of foreign aid going to countries spending it on arms, and even a ship load of whiskey once for one African government. Clearly the money could be distributed wisely and audited. It falls upon the Labour leader of the Commons select Committee, Sarah Champion, to closely monitor what the government is doing. 2. Even at 0.5% of GNI the UK is still one of the most generous countries in the world. Added to which there are the personal donations we all give to Oxfam, Christian Aid , etc. Only richer countries give more or richer countries per head give more per head than the UK. That is not a reason to give less, merely stating a fact. I query why Japan and Germany giving such huge quantities of aid to India? Why is the EU and France giving large amounts to Turkey? www.wristband.com/content/which-countries-provide-receive-most-foreign-aid/3. Part of the divorce bill with the EU goes towards commitments made when the UK was an EU member including foreign aid long term projects. The UK wil be contributing to the EU foreign aid budget till 2025: www.cgdev.org/publication/uks-fiscal-contribution-eu-budget-and-its-international-element
