This thread is a waste of time. Come Dec 13th, all the homeless will have the chance to move into Chequers or No. 11. And No.10 might have a few spare rooms.
But the cat in No.10 (what's it called?) will need regular de-lousing.

No.10 needs regular de lousing

Farage last night in interview with Neil.

Brighton played well last night, gaining a deserved 3 points. Serious troubles at Emirates.

Oh.
Did he?
Was it a lie?

Yep.
Potter is pushing them on to the next level.
Gunners probably need Big Sam to kick some butt for a while.

UK population 1997 - 58.31 million
UK population 2019 - 67.53 million

A shade over 9 million, based on those figures.

That’s a 15.8% increase, which compares against a world population going from 5.88 to 7.7 billion (30%).

Now, why couldn’t you just google that yourselves?

Hi, well it was a chatty few last posts.

Post 21 was I presumed intended as a slightly irritable/inflammatory comment, added to the grist and cut and thrust! All good fun to thread. Caveman had I assumed not seen the Farage interview, so asked simple question, who, which I replied to along with my main concern, the terrible situation in North London at Arsenal foot ball club! I had also watched the Farage interview - so did the fact check myself! And did google to find UK census data.

I noticed Farage was in a business suit and no Union Jack Flag socks - and was pondering the impact of that.

I may have taken the figures for a different month - what exactly (verbatim) did he say?

Telling whoppers/re writing history/promising the earth is mandaTORY in a GE campaign. Did you see what I did there?

 

[caveman]

I reckon most of them are past caring now.
Almost anything they say seems to be misinterpreted or cut and presented as a lie.

Looks like the diplomat in charge of Brexit propaganda in the US, is fed up of telling BoJo's lies to the good and the great and has resigned.

He did say that most of them are of Turkish origin. Mentioned something about a poster and a bus too - which went over my head.
