RIP Alistair Darling. Came across as a good egg and was a pretty steady hand during the GFC.
The RIP thread
Former chancellor Alistair Darling as well today. The grim reaper has been busy!
Tory cunts can all die as far as I’m concerned.

They all will eventually.
Note: Hugo, this is a FACT (I know you are fond of those)
Along_the_Wire I’d like to see them all in jail for a long time, then eventually dead.

They did a track with The Chieftains?
Fair play.
Kirsty McColl > Shane McGowan x 10
alistair I don’t know a single one of her own songs!
Along_the_Wire worth giving her Essentials a listen. Morrissey and Marr were big fans

There is literally no limit to hannu’s knowledge of goings on around our wide and varied planet and beyond. The man is a walking encyclopaedia Britannica box set…
His ability to flit from the minutiae of Palestinian political debate to the chart position of every single shane magowan song ever is an absolute joy to behold!
