    Isn’t it interesting how these speeches are written. Slow and methodical, then a widely approved comment- wait for applause. Carry on slow and methodical then suddenly its a scatter gun approach without a pause as the audience rises to its feet as the prose becomes quicker and the audience are now in a cult like frenzy clapping all hail to Caesar ! The same format used by Reeves and Balls. (Lammy failed miserably).

    Yes. I call for the return of the sausages, says Herr Starmer.

    I suppose hostages can be mistaken for sausages on an autocue- but if he was concentrating on his oratory he wouldn’t have made that mistake.

    Come on, who’s got the sausages ?

    Own up, put your hand up, we’ve got all day you know….

    No one leaves the conference until the sausages are released.

    Who’s playing hide the sausage ?

    (I’m on a roll here )

    Watching interviews from the GBNews stand at Luvviepool, a fellow kept coming into shot behind – sporting a man bun. Intrigued, I guess he was manning a stand, so I’ve checked it out.

    Well, to say I’m glad I’m no longer in the
    business world would be an understatement if this is the sort of guff that’s being published to would be customers …..

    POLIMAPPER
    “Is a business dedicated to visualising data and creating relevant insights leading to action.
    Our suite of products have been designed to help organisations who lobby, to provide political stakeholders with hyper relevant information to really grab their attention ”

    Er, eh ? Sounds like the sort of gobbledegook that NHS managers put out to sound important.

    One of those, Malcolm Walker – the founder of supermarket chain Iceland – will now endorse Labour instead.

      MM, am disappointed about Richard Walker switching sides but at least he is a good socialist giving OAPs (actually anyone over 60) with an Iceland card and age verifying ID 10% off on Tuesdays and also discounting prices in his stores. He could teach TT K/FG K a thing or two about being generous with the WFP, etc.

    The UK Gov has tasted blood … and is hungry for the pubs.

    There was a period during the pandemic in 2020 when the pubs were open but you could only go to one if you sat on your own and had a meal. You were allowed to buy an alcoholic drink but once you had finished your meal you could not buy another one. There was also a 10 p.m. curfew when the pub had to close and everyone had to go straight home.

    Smarmer speech…………Please pass the sick bucket. Rehearsed manufactured, formulaic, straight out of the Communist/Fascist speech cookbook. I found the few bits I heard depressing, that so many people could be taken in by such a fraud.

    Sausages? Mine’s a Bratwurst

    I’ve noticed that Lammy/Smarmer are pushing the two state solution for Gaza a reward for terrorism. Has anyone spoken to Israel?

    They want a ceasefire, at which point, what’s left of the hostages may or may not be released. I would have thought the starting point for any sort of negotiation had to be a release of the hostages.

      Presume Israel will give Starmer and Lammy the same response that they would give to Hamas – **** off! Lammy is such a thick irrelevant racist that I am sure anything he says is just ignored.

    Woolwich ‘zombie’ knife victim named as two arrested
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvglp6v80mzo

    Full details on the poor victim here : the BBC even managed to get a nice picture of the boy for maximum empathy.

    Two men arrested.
    “Did you see anything suspicious around the Eglinton Road area? Did you see anyone running away from the area? Do you have any footage? If you do then please contact police.”

    No description or any details at all about the two men arrested. Which is a shame as it could help people realise they did witness something.

    Heres the boy who died:
    272ab610-52a3-469d-943c-467e4069c2b6.jpg?strip=all&w=580
    As usual he was a lovely young man, whole life ahead of him, family cannot comprehend what happened.

    I think we know this story well enough by now.

    On the subject of sausages.
    I just googled ‘return of the sausages’ and found many references to the Starmer party conference screw up.

    But guess what? There was no BBC entry!

    The ultimate burying of inconvenient news and thus bias by omission.

      PS did he then ask for a ‘two steak solution’?

      Personally I’m all for a PM that likes eating meat rather than fawning over all the trendy vegan nonsense.

      If only he could get the police to catch some burgers.

    Great move – there’s so much Labour can do to change the criminal justice system for the better …

    Interestingly, which gender dominates the BBC incarceration charts to keep his pension topped up?

    BBC webshite ran a HYS about Starmers speech.
    They closed it after about an hour with 287 comments..

    Surely this could not possibly be because they were scared some writers might make some negative sausages references.

    Looking at BBC output it was like it never happened…..

    A grade A example of their appalling pro-Labour bias.
