FFS at least make an effort. Copy and paste a bit so we can decide if your latest political wank is worth opening
That's a raw nerve I've hit, I assume you're a Liebour voter.....
1. No
2. I don't care about politics
3. I do care about the forum
4. Do you?
1. Ok
2. Well don't worry then, be calm, be happy.
3. We all care, what's not to care about?
4. Do I what?

Deep breaths, maybe it's been a hard day, but it's all good, chill out, compose and placate.

That's 4 year old news. He's not been a Labour MP since 2017 when he was kicked out of the Labour party and sat as an Independent until 2019, when he stepped down as an MP. His big mistake was picking the wrong party. He'd have fitted right in among all the Tories... :D

According to the news 5 minutes ago, builders in Turkey can pay an amount of money to be exempt from making their buildings earthquake proof. Some millions (£ equivalent, not Turkish lira) have been collected.

'In Turkey, however, the government has provided periodic "construction amnesties" - effectively legal exemptions for the payment of a fee, for structures built without the required safety certificates. These have been passed since the 1960s (with the latest in 2018).

Critics have long warned that such amnesties risk catastrophe in the event of a major earthquake.

Up to 75,000 buildings across the affected earthquake zone in southern Turkey have been given construction amnesties, according to Pelin Pınar Giritlioğlu, Istanbul head of the Union of Chambers of Turkish Engineers and Architects' Chamber of City Planners.

Just a few days before the latest disaster, Turkish media reported that a new draft law is awaiting parliamentary approval which would grant a further amnesty for recent construction work.'

You're right; I got it wrong. It was actually six years ago that he ceased to be a Labour MP.

When he last last sitting as an MP is irrelevant, what is relevant was his crimes were committed whilst a sitting MP.

Labour actually still has many sitting MPs which have been convicted of fraud. Seems to be a theme....

Not at all. It's just as you said during that conversation, that one doesn't get to say things without backing them up, something you haven't done, yet still expect others to do.

Or an AI that has had to be trained and the only available data was 4chan and the local Combat18 news boards.

You know when 1/5 people in every group in society is a wanker.

It's not the other 4.

What happened to you? You used to actually bring something constructive to the forums. It's really sad to see what you've become on here now.

I wonder if you'll look back and be embarrassed
