The trenches reference is an analogy, a reference to the lack of leadership that currently exists in Government, in my view, as opposed to the conspicuous leadership skills of those who were prepared to lead others into battle.
If politicians refuse to share their vision (perhaps because they do not have one) and give vacuous responses to TV presenters and journalists, the vacuum they create is soon filled by those who shriek loudest. We have arrived at a point where the political agenda is being driven by Sky, The Grauniad the BBC and various other malcontents, the result is a Government that responds and apologises rather than leads and the outcomes will inevitably be detrimental to democracy and our national wellbeing. I should also point out that the Labour party has the same problems but being in opposition means they are less damaging to the country.
As Montgomery pointed out, if you push a length of string it never goes where you want it to, however, if you pull it, it goes exactly where you want . |
But again, the leadership skills of those in armed conflict is a very different animal to trying to thread a piece of string through the eye of needle, to absolutely murder a metaphor!
Just one example. Churchill is quite rightly on a pedestal as a consummate leader of the nation at war, but i watched a programme about the suffragettes the other night when he, as Home Secretary, was in absolute denial of the reality of their struggle and fed outright lies to his crony Lord Northcliffe to ensure the truth was obscured by the press
Quite frankly, i've had enough of the "visions" of politicians. Simple competence will do, and i can agree at least that all our politicians have something of a deficit on that score |  |

Here's another joke!
It's true. We have nowhere to go out to for a drink or decent food nowadays, and those places that are left only open between 9-11pm on a Saturday night
That's because every decent citizen has left, and those who remained aren't worth opening new premises for, since we've haven't a brass farthing between us
We await your return, to help us out of this morass, bringing with you the wisdom and humility accumulated from your foray into the world, to enlighten us and unburden us from our misery  |
Did I not say slowly enough for you? What is wrong with you? Change...brings...change. |  |

Well yes 49th. Politicians are just berks like you and me. Why on earth do you think they should have, or could have, 'vision'? What would you do about the 'threats' to your way of life? Why do you think it was a big deal deal between Chamberlain, Halifax and Churhill then? No-one knows anything. | |

It frightens me that 'politicians' are anyone's candleholders. Hitler was Weimar's when the crash happened. You, you are the candelholders. | |

You know that's not what I meant. Must we have to climb the wall again. So mendacious. So wilful in 'misunderstanding'. FFS! | |

Do you reckon Jeremy Thorpe shagged him out of the Sparks or what? Not the one who looked like Hitler the one that looked like a shit Jim Morrison.
Peter Cook reckoned he did. [Post edited 6 Jun 2018 23:07]

You're just the kind of tit found anywhere D'Alien. Why must we have you?
I try to find a genuine rise about the old town, and why not, and you, well... | |

The following a joke.
I leave you for a mere 25 years and you properly fcuk everything up:
Every single pub from the Highland Laddie all the way down Spotland Road to the Golden Ball gone. The beaut by the actual ground gone. Don't get me started on Whitworth Road's amazing places to go out any day of the week go.
You let the town lose all all important NHS services to other towns.
You let drug users intimidate you.
You naysay any fightback.
You blame the council for everything.
You blame everything on 'foreigners'.
You hate anything new.
IT WAS ALL YOUR FAULT.

I've read this thread with interest but have no desire to get into the politics of it.
But, to go back to the beginning of it, I do have question. How the hell did the reporter know that it was a 9 iron used in the assault? Was Peter Alliss on hand soothingly saying, "he looks like he's going to go for it with a 9-iron"?
And I'm not dis-respecting the victims, I just want to know. |
In fairness R17 and again no disrespect to the victims. But in a lightning storm hold a 1 iron above your head. Even god can’t hit a 1 iron!!! |  |

Yet others have done exactly the same just this week yet not even been given a warning nevermind a spell inside,how's that work?
If people actually do some proper research on him and not just the usual bollox the media like you to believe most if not all of what he reports is frighteningly accurate,keep brushing these things under the carpet but the country has an enormous elephant in the room that the majority are scared stiff to even talk about let alone tackle. |
Right, done my research and found a song about even numbers on a motorway, which was sh1t. | |

In the old days when Hornets played at The Athletic Grounds the guy who ran the half time draw had a fearsome reputation among us young lads. You wouldn't want to be caught out on your own with him about.
He had several funny sayings when he walked around the ground with the winning number. He'd shout out " First prize, a round the world cruise on The Pennine Queen " , which was a motor boat on Hollingworth Lake I believe.
I remember him shouting out one week " First prize, a game of snooker with Jeremy Thorpe ".
This was well before the Thorpe affair became public. As a young lad I remember thinking " Why would anyone want a game of snooker with Jeremy Thorpe ? " | | | |
