Re: Brexit

The Vote Leave Campaign thingy can surely be wound up now? Nah, there's always more grifting to be done. It's been a success for the backers and the basic campaign principles can be re-used, even if the publicly stated goal has to change. As long as people are unhappy with the type of Brexit they g...

Re: Covid 19 Hardship Fund

My point in my previous post about clarification was actually more aimed to your point "And get the Marketing Department to focus on a targeted nationwide communication campaign aimed at deprived areas." That seemed a very interesting idea. Now i know that there are certain areas in the c...

Re: Covid 19 Hardship Fund

The Theatre is an example of money well spent. Maybe too well, but at least the seating has now been upgraded. The red brick is still modern and being based on The Globe will never date. Compare that to the South Bank and Royal Festival Hall which look very tired and definitely 50s. It serves many ...

More importantly, did anyone pay Farage to endorse Blair as the Covid Tsar?

Re: Covid 19 Hardship Fund

What's so special about the underprivileged pupils at Christ's Hospital? There are underprivileged people all over the country. I shouldn't discriminate just because they go to Christ's Hospital. They are as much in need of free school meal vouchers as the state school children being helped thanks ...

Re: DAMBUSTERS AND C.H.

I came across this very nice old documentary on Barnes Wallis. A moderator may like to try saving it somewhere in case the link dies. I've always been in awe of Concorde and the great british engineering that went into it. But Barnes Wallis was dismissive: "Where do you think the Concorde is go...
