@MorgothsReview I barely went to the pictures through the eighties and only saw it when it was on the telly. Thought playing with figurines was soft and near enough playing with dolls. Cars were my toys.
@euge140@MerriamWebster Traditionally in pitmatic (County Durham) mate would rhyme with late. Eight, weight, might and sleight rhyme. Textspeak m8 doesn’t always fit our accent m➡️
Here’s the truth: nobody ever really liked Starmer.
It was always there, the insincerity stitched into him like a Lord Alli suit. His lack of vision for the country was matched only by his lack of understanding of what the Labour Party was supposed to be. He never built a route for working people to rise. He built a reception room for corporations to enter.
He shook the hands of the profit-makers and ignored the open palms of the poor.
Fairly or unfairly, he is now despised by much of the public. Not because people are stupid. Not because they failed to understand him. But because they understood him perfectly well.
A man without warmth. A party without roots. A government without a cause.
Lewis Goodall says @Keir_Starmer has no way back as PM following the local election results, adding that former Labour leader "Jeremy Corbyn" didn't experience a similar "wipeout" at his most unpopular point.
@frlydensmith@igfield73 That reads like it’s been written by AI. I’ve not really noticed a difference. I did see potholes being repaired on a Sunday mind, which isn’t appropriate for the day of rest.
