  1. But didn't Winston Churchill himself say 'Never in the field of postal history was so much mail sorted for so many by so few?'

  2. For the BBC, mere viewing figures matter little. It is not a commercial company, and can produce whatever propaganda it wishes funded by the despised little people who pay the Licence Fee.
    329
  3. In 50 years time, people will say, 'that play about 20th century Britain showed white people on the streets of London. How historically inaccurate can you get?'

  4. In some areas, corruption isn't seen as a a bad thing, but simply as one of the perks of power or authority.
    185
  5. What did Marie Antoinette win her Nobel Prize for, and when? If you don't know, I could always ask David Lammy, I suppose?
    170
  6. In the interview on NBC, Trump was asked it DEI was responsible for the crash. His reply was that it could have been, not that it was.
    163
  7. My own CV says that I was an International Cricketer, who played over 70 Test Matches for England, scoring 22 centuries and retiring with a Test Average of 56.34 It sounds so much better than stating that I was merely quite a good club player, doesn't it?

  8. I believe that the BBC are about to produce a new documentary about the Bismarck action, in which Churchill is portrayed by Lenny Henry, and Admiral Joan Tovey by Helen Mirren The pilot of the Swordfish which delivers the crippling torpedo hit is from the Nigerian Air Force, and is played by Idris Elba.

  9. Ed Miliband was telling the truth when he said that bills would go down £300 per year. What he didn't mention was that this would only happen after they had gone up £1400 per year first.
    84
  10. Indeed. Boots have just been given the boot chez moi. It seems that my family do not meet their standards of what an acceptable customer might be.

  11. Give it time. He will be so described soon.
    82
  12. Ironic that you should produce this at about the same time that Johnson said that Ukrainian refugees would be welcomed by Britain. Presumably, they would have to queue behind the South Coasters and the Hong Kong Chinese?
    75
  13. Don't worry. Once Sir Keir persuades the EU to accept Britain as a faithful subordinate province of the European Empire, that big island off the French coast will make an excellent place to send these 'refugees.'

  14. Ironically, Michael Bates was born in India. Bates spent his early years in India, speaking Hindi and Urdu as his first languages before learning English, and remaining fluent in the former two languages for the rest of his life.

  15. Surely, when a series of politicians have apparently decided that Britain would be better off as a Third World country, then diphtheria, polio and tuberculosis are simply some of the concomitant benefits we should expect?
    67
  16. The idea that the wonderful David Lammy might be involved in any discussions fills me, and probably most normal, rational, people, with unmitigated terror.
    65
  17. If Trump does prevail, doubtless be stern faces, black armbands, and solemn martial music.
    60
  18. As is doubtless painted up in large letters in the BBC newsroom, 'NEVER LET A FEW FACTS GET IN THE WAY OF THE AGENDA.'
    58
  19. Why are you reading from a recent 'Doctor Who' script?!
    56
  20. 'The Grauniad?' The Guardian of today would have reported the sinking of Bismarck in May 1941 under the heading ' Innocent German cruise ship brutally destroyed by British navy without warning. - Many civilians feared dead.'
    55
  21. I assume he can claim substantial expenses for turning out at the week-end. He might even be given a new suit by Lord Alli for the occasion.
    52
  22. The odd thing is that no-one in the media seems willing to consider the possibility that the increase in population largely due to immigration has any connection with the increasing pressure on every public service you care to name.
    52
  23. Nothing. But those planning any potential disruption are becoming more and more confident as little or nothing is done to challenge them. The maxim 'the squeaky wheel gets the most oil' applies. 'Appeasement' is another relevant term.
    51
  24. Do keep up. There was recently a demand to have the statue of Robert Peel in Manchester removed, by 'eminent' historian(?) Ana Lucia Araujo on the grounds that 'Him big raycist!! man!'
    47
  25. Except as the hero or heroine of the srory, of course.
    47
  26. Bro, de photos. av been doctored by de white raycists, innit?
    46
  27. But the 'British' government, on almost a daily basis, tells us that it isn't.
    43
  28. But it doesn't matter. The Dear Leader has a herd of robotic automata, otherwise known as his MPs, who are willing to support anything he does, in order to protect their £91k per year salaries, largely unchallenged expenses, and their ability to make many profitable 'contacts.'
    43
  29. A couple of years ago, the NMM asked a Woke Queen, Lucy Worsley, to 'reassess' Nelson. As, when applied to Worsley, what 'reassessment' really means is well known, this is probably one result of her efforts.
    43
  30. If it isn't deliberate, then his efforts have been almost heroically inept.
    41
  31.  @KemetledAfrica  Did the Enlightenment and the Age of Reason totally pass you by, or do you simply deny both?
    40
  32.  @whitelines3097  'Should we wait until Islamic army’s are at the door.' Some would say that, in Britain at least, it already is.
    39
  33. In 20 years time, there will be a sensation when it is announced that a performance of 'Henry V' in Stratford upon Avon is to be in Whiteface.
    36
  34. "You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go". I can barely conceal my pride at being from the family of Major General John Lambert, one of Cromwell's commanders at the Battle of Preston, and the victor of the Battle of Inverkeithing, when I read statements like that.
    36
  35. I believe that 13 women had complained up until yesterday. By the time I write this, the number will probably have risen beyond 250.
    36
  36.  @candy-le4nh  Perhaps you might explain this statement in Mr. Lammy's magnum opus, 'Tribes' then? The book was written around four years ago. “An ethnic Englishness, tied to toxic assumptions about group supremacy, has put down deep roots in recent years.” Better yet, plough through the whole book to fully inform yourself about Lammy's overt double standards, and his open dislike of 'Englishness,' by which he means the white English.
    35
  37. Personally, I don't really care whether the Dear Leader is a homosexual or not. I do care that the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is a conscienceless liar and a total hypocrite, however.
    35
  38. I do enjoy the use of the word 'Progressive' in modern politics. I wonder if the arrival of Gothic tribes within the borders of the Western Roman Empire in the fifth century, resulting in the gradual collapse of Roman civilisation, was similarly viewed as 'progressive' at the time?
    35
  39. I have been remarkably fortunate, so far. I missed the entire Opening Ceremony. With a little effort, I hope to miss the entire Olympics.
    34
  40. Not the most gifted of thespians, is she? Much like the person to whom she was talking.
    33
  41. David Olusoga would certainly be the presenter of choice for it.
    32
  42. I wonder if the British government funds their holiday trips?
    32
  43. I believe that the new theme of the British legal system in certain areas is 'Guilty until proven innocent, but then still assumed to be guilty anyway.'
    31
  44. Any young man considering a career as a primary school teacher should be very careful before proceeding with the idea, given that the law as it currently stands says 'guilty until proven innocent, but then assumed to be guilty anyway.'
    31
  45. Don't worry. Angela will sort it all out, and still have time to go clubbing.
    31
  46. Perhaps, as these people wish to be referred to as 'they' then they should serve a double sentence?
    28
  47.  DIFESA_RAZZA_BIANCA  Good heavens! I never knew that Alfred Hitchcock ever said anything like that.
    27
  48.  @JAMESLOONEY-kd1nu  Whose land was ever 'grabbed by force?' Do tell of any actual assault landings the British made during the expansion of their Empire. Perhaps the accepted explanation of 'The Flag followed Trade' escaped your notice?
    27
  49.  @michael.darracott  Correct. To be honest my wife pointed the advert out to me. Generally, I blank most of the adverts, but this one particularly annoyed her, in view of the leading figure in it.
    27
  50. As someone said to me last week, 'If the first Britons weren't black, how do you explain how they managed to build Stonehenge?'
