What nonsense. A beer expert who can't tell the difference between water and Guinness is obviously not a beer expert. Or appreciates beer. Or has any taste buds.

Never mind. A few shots from my .50 cal will get you going astern. 555

Chat GPT was right. 🙂

Gently, gently catchee monkee. Those were just deportations to Vietnam and Timor-Leste. I see you just ignored all the good news about the substantial increase in the deportation of illegal immigrants to say it's not enough. Would it hurt you to say this is good news? I guess it would.

Good to see so many wonderful, highly paid job positions in Starmer' s Britain. 🙂

Lol

Hogwash. The increase of deportation of illegal immigrants has increased 20% under this Labour government. "The anti-immigration offensive of Britain’s Labour government has seen a record number of deportations of asylum seekers since it came to power in July. Home Office data reveals that 9,400 people have been deported to their home countries since then. The Daily Mirror reported last week, “Altogether, more than 25 bespoke returns flights have taken place since July 5th, returning individuals to a range of countries including Albania, Poland, Romania and Vietnam, plus the first ever charter to Timor-Leste, and the biggest ever returns flight to Nigeria and Ghana.” Including the mass deportations to Nigeria and Ghana, the Labour government has organised what the right-wing press are hailing as the “three biggest returns flights in UK history.” A significant proportion of these are “forced deportations”—almost 2,600, an increase of 19 percent compared to 2023 when the Conservatives were in office. Labour campaigned for election pledged to deport thousands more asylum seekers. Taking office it immediately scrapped the Conservatives’ Rwanda policy, denouncing the Tories for spending hundreds of millions of pounds on failed attempts to deport asylum seekers. Three weeks after Labour took power, on July 25, the Home Office announced that 46 migrants had been deported by plane to Timor-Leste and Vietnam. The flight to Vietnam was the first for deportations since 2022. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper crowed, “We have immediately replaced the flight planning for Rwanda with actual flights to return people who have no right to stay to their home countries instead.” In August, Cooper promised to deport at least 14,385 “illegal migrants” by the end of the year, the highest rate since 2018. Source. Daily Mirror Starmer's view is to try to "smash the gangs" that are people trafficking. Getting at the real problem rather than putting them in camps at enormous cost once they've arrived.

I think you'll find it's the other way around. Try getting most Thais to drink anything other than the big three. They can be very snobbish about drinking only Thai beer and won't try any other style than pale lagers. You can enjoy other beers without being a snob. I like the craft styles more than generic Thai beers, especially now they're easier to obtain. But if people enjoy other beers that's fine. De gustibus non disputandum es.

I'm sorry but the tired old it's being thrust in our face line wont work. You again avoid specifics but if it's Pride marches your getting yourself into an unnecessary tizzy about then avoid them. The whole idea of a march, a protest or a demonstration is about visibility. If you euphemistically describe that as being thrust in your face that's a problem you have to address. If it's Pride meetings etc. then again you're not obliged to attend so don't fret about it. If it's the whole movement you're irked by then you're just gonna have to deal with it. As for ladyboys, I'm guessing you personally have never been pick-pocketted by one, (or probably anyone on this site) so why does it exercise you're thoughts?

Look at the person the American people appointed. 😮

Are u talking about the Pride movement as a whole or just Pride marches? You'll always get a few dissenters, as in anything. My query was about saying it's many gays, which I've never seen to be true.

What's many to you, Johnny? You need to justify your assertion.

Very few oppose Pride. Some, like Douglas Murray wonder whether Pride marches are now necessary but that's not Pride per se.

Many years ago I went to one of the Similan Islands, Koh Miang. Stayed two nights. Only 1 hour of electric from a generator for a shower between 5pm and 6pm, then complete darkness. We would lay on the beach looking up at the firmament. You could hardly put a pin between the stars. It was astonishing. The only downside was the dreadful day tourists who arrived in a flood of boats during the day. A real trek getting there and back but worth it for the night sky.

Absolutely. Even the Southport killer should get due process. What some people don't understand is that protection is for all our benefit. It's worth watching this again.

I'm sure it's very entertaining. But my comment was about contempt of court. Your switch and bait won't work. 🙂

I said he was jailed for contempt of court. You agreed he was. How is that me "starting with establishment lies"? Bizarre comment. Just because you think there was some unproven ulterior motive doesn't make it any less of a fact. The rest of your post is irrelevant to my comment.

Interesting. Love Sandalwood.

Trashed not crashed. Lol

Is that before or after she trashes the economy again? Lol

No, not similar to Tommy. He was jailed for contempt of court, a serious offense.

Dumping the NHS and raising the State Pension to 81 are real vote winners.

I use Dettol liquid if I've been in the garden but I prefer a hard soap for casual hand washing.

I'm not loving the idea of putting used soap in the freezer. Bacteria city, man
