which is the most difficult language to master? Dari or the often arcane and oblique language of the barrister, sometimes known by laypersons as Wanker-ese.

the UK's coronavirus epidemic did not have one origin - but at least 1,356 origins. On each of those occasions somebody brought the infection into the UK from abroad and the virus began to spread as a result.

I had a good laugh at that earlier. As soon as CCHQ cotton on to how ripe the style of PR the Starmzy office puts out for public consumption are for such easy parody and clowning he is so doomed if he is still here for the next election!

it's a race to the bottom with Starmer because no matter what his intentions are, he doesn't explicitly promise much. So the Tories can just go back all that to well look what you lot did towards the creeping privatisation of the NHS etc type arguments, that do actually hold water.
― calzino, Wednesday, 10 June 2020 22:49 (three years ago) link
at least when Corbyn was there these arguments were often specious nonsense because he came with different ideas. I'm not saying he was perfect, but he was good enough to make me and many others who previously wouldn't vote, actually vote with some level of enthusiasm. That's all gone now.
― calzino, Wednesday, 10 June 2020 22:55 (three years ago) link
I'm a bit drunk rn, but just saying this Starmer fellow is rotten to the core and I saw it early not because I'm Nostradamus with x-ray eyes. But I just simply looked at his short but revealing voting record, his wretched cop-loving, poor-hating DPP record, that's all you needed to see to get the measure of this slimeball.
