@izzythepush,
I loved the opposition saying "He didn't know he was at a party!" and there were 100 invited
That was funny.
@Mame,
It's a farce. My best friend voted Brexit despite me telling him not to, he believed someone else.
He agrees it was the worst decision he ever made his business is very badly affected.
He sells antiques and since Brexit it's UK customers only anywhere else is way too complicated.
He used to sell all over the World, not any more.
@izzythepush,
I've been reading also about the labour shortages. I don't know what the right answer would have been.
The leader of the Scottish Tories, Douglas Ross has called on Johnson to resign.
@Mame,
The right answer was to remain in the EU. There have been no advantages to leaving at all, and many things are worse.
In September the army had to deliver petrol to service stations.
@izzythepush,
Douglas Ross has also written to the chairman of the 1922 Committee registering a lack of confidence in Johnson. If 54 mps register their lack of confidence there will be a leadership challenge.
More revelations of parties in Downing Street during lockdown. This time on the eve of Prince Phillip's funeral with photos of the Queen sitting on her own during the service because she, like the rest of us, had to socially distance.
The only crumb of comfort for Johnson is that he was not there, instead spending the weekend at Chequers.
Four people have been arrested in Nigeria over alleged cannibalism.
I’ll post this here, because it’s one of the more active threads, and I really don’t know where else to report it.
One of the sickos sent me this PM:
Quote:Go back to Africa and pick my ******* cotton.
The sender put his name as ‘**** You’.
Nice to know I still have what it takes to piss off the **** for brains racists.

Contact us is a direct messaging arena to contact a2k admins. And whoever PM that bs should be outright banned for life. Not suspended but banned.
@snood,
I had a series of abusive pms from it as well. It's the creepy incel nono who spent most of his time whining about how he can't get a girlfriend and supporting rape culture.
He has a real problem with Firefly, he's been attacking her a lot in the pm's.
It shows how important we are to it, three years after its ban it's still desperate for our attention.
@tsarstepan,
They already have been, they were banned as nono, and I assume they got banned yesterday as dogs.
They start another sockpuppet account and do it again.
It's happened to me more times than I care to mention.
@izzythepush,
How do they keep starting new accounts? I’d think they would somehow be recognizable to admin. Also, the times on other boards when I’ve had to create a new account, I had to provide a different email address.
@snood,
I don't know for sure, but they could be using computers at a library. I haven't seen an Internet cafe in years, but the libraries still provide computers. They're pretty nasty and I agree with tsar that they should be banned permanently.
@snood,
You're asking the wrong person, but I have a list of usernames as long as my arm that have sent me unsolicited pms.
What sort of life is that, obsessing over a forum you've been banned from just to be nasty and banned again?
@izzythepush,
The life of someone with no friends and no interests. The life of a Loser.
@Mame,
There is a character in Viz called Sid the Sexist, he is a sad pathetic loser who spends all his time lasting after women with hackneyed pick up lines and failing every time.
Nonceno is like an even more pathetic version of him, at least Sid is a Geordie, he's got that going for him.
Hello all ! Belated Christmas greetings and my wishes that all here have a good new year ahead.
Same old stuff here: angry manifestations at the "they" who question or reject your desire to impose "progressive" authoritarian controls on how others live their lives; doomsday expressions about COVID; and hints of a growing realization that the Biden Administration, and its legislative program is failing; - all coupled with increased efforts to turn exclusive attention to the dark Trumpian enemy out there who, by definition is opposed to all that is good, and bent on destroying your authoritarian prescriptions for "good behavior" and instead supports limited powers for government, individual liberty , initiative and responsibility).
That is indeed a prescription for continued depression, and I hope some, at least, are able to get over it.
The Omicron wave appears to be peaking in the states with heavy infection rates, and the pattern observed earlier in South Africa of a steep, sharp rise and equally sharp fall a few weeks later, together with only a very small rise in hospitalizations and mortality, appears, increasingly to be the rule. The data from the UK, which is a few days ahead of the U.S. in this progression, also confirms this.
In effect the virus has provided it's own vaccination with a low mortality, highly transmissible variant that appears to provide a degree of broad spectrum resistance to the virus's characteristics. This is not unusual in that natural selection favors the most transmissible forms of any viral disease (an intelligent parasite doesn't kill its host). This notwithstanding the darker view of the author of the rather ponderous paper Hightor posted a page back here.
Disease, pandemics and death will always be with us, but life, freedom and a degree of hard earned prosperity continue to be sweet.
I note reports in today's news that Russia is rejecting the efforts of U.S. & European negotiators to persuade them to remove their forces from the Donbass region of Ukraine, and has suggested it might send some of its troops to Cuba & Venezuela. A very different, and far more effective, approach would have been to have continued the development of the enormous U.S. reserves of gas and oil; retained the sanctions on the Russian Nord Stream pipeline to Germany, and now, in the face of the ongoing Russian aggressive provocations to have imposed additional sanctions on Russian, while assuring our European allies that we will provide any needed gas supplies if Russian impeded delivery in any way. -- And then start negotiations with Russia for the removal of their forces.
Now just who, among American leaders w0uld have done all that ???
