Will be remembered for the best Prime Minister that should have been.

No, that would be me – but I was never that interested in starting at the bottom and kissing donkey.

the title of this thread is miss leading I thought the shop assistant had been murdered by someone using a fish as the weapon.

Murdered using a live fish?

If you had read the story it would make sense to the hard of interpreting thread titles…;o)
The only thing dead around here is the mass sense of humour of the forum.

no I read the original so is the shop assistant dead or not

Like I said, read the story in the first post coz reading anything else in this thread (including this post) will only do in your brain, and the last thing we need here is another suffering with brain rot.

Um, are we now legally obligated to include some sort of fishy reference in each post?

Oh pollocks.

You see Jonesy, that’s assault. Or maybe, ahem, a-salt.

Snafu,

I can’t believe that you’re hanging your Great Leader out to dry. There’s hope for you yet.

Sorry to disappoint you but, in the words of that still alive though obviously down on his luck butter salesman… I am an anarchist. ;o)
Never met a politician whose wonderful ideas couldn’t be improved on by standing him/her up against a wall with a row of armed troops lined up ready to fire their rifles. Perfect.

To me Blair was Bliar, whose word was not to be trusted, who if he proposed one thing then the chances were that it was better for everybody concerned to do the opposite, who needed to be arrested for war-crimes at the time and still does.
It’s been a long time since one leader took Britons into so many wars in such a short time – a lovely epitaph for his gravestone, I suppose, one record he must be proud of.
He brought competition and rivalry into the NHS where it has no business to be, and his new followers from the right were encouraged to set themselves up in opposition to state run monopolies and rake off millions when a simple management rotation might have sufficed. The socialist ideal of a redistribution of wealth did take place, but in reverse – not for those who needed it.

So they could do thousands more. It wouldn’t upset their bank manager, could it…
