The unbiased, balanced, objective Beeb again.
I believe them, in this instance. But, apparently, they'll be 'more representative' of the country as a whole once Boris flogs it to Rupert Murdoch.

I would love to see that just to se all the lefty Liberals crying their fickin eyes out.

I think Donald Trump is the only politician who doesn't lie. ::)

Did he tell you to say that?

Is it a lie, if you believe it?

Ignoring the pathetic lazy leftie do-gooders, it would appear Trump has, somehow, been good for America.  And that's exactly what America needs. As do we.

Almost all politicians are liars, but the public don't really seem to care. Imo voters care about their overall effectiveness. The yanks had a choice between two liars - Hilary or Trump and chose Trump. We had a choice between two liars- Corbyn or Boris- and we chose Boris.
Voters would probably like their politicians to be honest, but accept that they aren't, so chose the liar who they think will do the better (or least worst) job.

Honesty is not absolute. There are various shades of honesty.

I once found a young girls purse with bank cards and cash. I even drove 30 miles to return the purse. I was honest.

If I found there was a banking error of £20000 in my favour I would 'shut the f*uck up.  Is that dishonest?

Yes, as knowingly doing so is illegal and you can be charged under the Theft Act :D ;)

So do not spend that £20k Opti! ;D ;D :)

Not if you shared it with me.  Honour amongst thieves and all that!  :y

Not dishonest to steal from a bank. How can it be?

They are all crooks. :)

Looks like the next US president will be either


Bernie Sanders age 78
Joe Biden age 77
Donald Trump age 73.

Surely the US president should be a 'big swinging dick' rather than a choice between 3 'limp dicks'... :)



Joking aside, older age is associated with poorer outcomes in relation to Coronavirus. Any country   with many older senior leaders should, arguably, consider this risk.

Apparently Trump took the coronavirus test and allegedly it was negative.  :)

I saw this line elsewhere today....
