We should have a whip round and buy her a tent.
Only if that’s her lifestyle choice.

You couldn't make it up,they're interviewing a tory MP on R4 at the momment,says he's glad to see the return of Cameron & he associates him with doing good things for the country. I've had one of my outbursts & started swearing at the radio again :shock:

My day has been made in learning that Suella is actually called Sue-Ellen , after the character in Dallas. Her mum was a big fan, apparently.

Is it going to close down the airspace of Europe and NA?
I'm a very amateur geologist but past eruptions of this type are long fissure type eruptions that have beautiful fire fountains of lava over a series of fissures. Very pretty to look at, obviously devastating if your property is close by but usually not to wide spread, lava flows from the fissures can go a long way, maybe flowing into the sea
Longest one here is about 10 miles. From Timanfaya, into the sea at Playa Bastian. About 2 miles from here.

That was 1736 ish.

Aha, yes. That was awesome. But not for everybody. Our island is dormant.

It all went south when they took away BoJo's water canons! Imagine how much more entertaining the tv footage would have been if they were put into use! I'd have given a soapy tenner to see Corbyn spun down Whitehall on his back by said water canons! :D

This letter is from when she was in Truss' cabinet - back in October '22.

Didn't the 19 October 2022 date stamp give you a clue?

By all accounts she is keeping her powder dry and will drop the bomb at a time calculated to cause Sunak maximum damage.
