From the article above: "A prosecutor said the priest was suspected of “failing to provide assistance to a person whose life is at risk” for having allegedly tried to bar paramedics from entering the apartment."

I don't think that the Pope has the power to sentence Polish people for offences alleged to have been committed in Poland.

You may be right. I don't actually think that she has the capacity to feel shame. But feel free to enlighten us on your understanding of her efforts to avoid paying UK tax. Akshata Murty may have avoided up to £20m in tax with non-dom status https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/apr/07/rishi-sunaks-wife-says-its-not-relevant-to-say-where-she-pays-tax-overseas

That certainly goes a long way to explaining why the UK has become such an international laughing stock over the past 10 to 15 years; why infrastructure has crumbled; why inequality has rocketed and the standard of living enjoyed by most has fallen while the corrupt cabal at the top are coining it in like never before.

Has Sturgeon had any allegations of tax avoidance leveled at her? Your desperation to protect your beloved Nasty Party is clear, of course, but that means you simply fall into fantasy whataboutery. As for Sunak's multi billionaire wife, I am sure that you are aware that she had to be shamed into paying tax in the UK. In fact, I would be surprised if you were unaware because normally you are so swift to denounce the possiblity of dark skinned foreigners coming to the UK to live off the taxpayer.

Is anyone surprised? You don't become filthy rich by being honest and fair. That goes especially for the mediocre children of filthy rich people - the corrupt Sunak and his tax avoiding wife being prime examples.

Piers, is that you?

I don't think that they are advocating for the removal all the advances mankind has made to date due to hydrocarbon extraction - what they are saying is that the cost of continuing to exploit the earth's hydrocarbon reserves are too great and that we should now be diverting our resources towards securing more sustainable and less harmful forms of energy.

Which terminal are you flying into?

Are you suggesting that incitement to commit criminal damage should be ignored?

Are those the ones made in Poland? Despite the removal of the EU flag, I like them - they are pretty sturdy and have a good feel of EU quality.

Please don't make this a habit or I may need to re-evaluate my principles.

To be fair, whilst my post was, indeed, off topic, it was a reply to your original off topic post about allegations of financial impropriety. (I would quote it but I am on my mobile and it's on the previous page...). But I agree, this thread is about financial incompetence, not financial impropriety.

Because the original thread is directly relevant to the current news... You do realise, don't you, that you are not compelled to contribute. In fact, as bizarre as it may sound to you, you are free to sit some threads out entirely.

No, I brought up again because she and her 49 days of incompetence are in the news again. Note the headline from yesterday's FT: Liz Truss makes defiant return to political fray Nowhere does it say that I dragged her back into the nation's consciousness. She did that all on her own.

This thread is about the disastrous, albeit incredibly short, tenure of the worst PM in living memory.

My SNP lot? I am not in the SNP. Do you actually read what other people write before you reply?

Your first statement is clear contempt of court; your second statement is woefully ignorant. Edit: sorry, not contempt of court because no charges have been made. However it's definitely libelous.

You are right - one is an allegation of party funds being used for means other than collected, and which is being heavily investigated by the police, the other is billions of pounds of our money which was handed to friends and family of Tory MPs and is being ignored by the police. But you keep tugging that forelock.

I have no idea - I am not in the SNP. Have they tried looking in Matt Hancock's local boozer or down the back of his mum's sofa?

The forelock tugging, cap doffing working class never ceases to confound me. I simply can't understand why (the collective) you are so vociferous in your defence of the people who have been fleecing you your entire life, and who fully intend to do the same to your offspring.

Of course - she's a Tory. Greed is her raison d'etre.

We are all smarting to the tune of £46 billion that her incompetence cost us - but it's her who is putting her head above the parapets once again. Try to keep up.

An excellent article in the Guardian today about the worst PM ever to blight the UK. I am not sure why she has popped up again now, and why she thinks she is worth paying attention to, but I believe the maxim goes something like 'never interrupt a Tory when they are making a fool of themselves and their party'. Almost a year after her disastrous mini-budget, ex-PM says she was right and the economy and everyone else was wrong

A 30-something year old man with a 16 year old girl that he called 'the child' - 20 years doesn't make that any less disturbing.
