Keir Starmer

[gordondaviesmoustache]

She's from Adswood (later Bridge Hall) Stockport, the former being the same council estate I grew up in but obviously several decades earlier. Disliked intensely by many of my generation from that same background who recognise she deliberately cultivates a false caricature of 'coarseness' which she thinks appeals to her working class vote. She had a long career as a trade union organiser and that shapes her whole approach to politics - which she sees essentially as class warfare.

I’m sorry you are so consumed by hate. Are you Jacob Rees-Mogg?

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

I also think she's unattrative, but that is actually irrelevant. She would probably think I am.

I would certainly expect so.

My own wide circle of friends don't seem to think so.

I’ll hazard it’s not as remotely wide as mine. Or interesting.

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

But do you play Bridge with any of your friends?

Remember the plentiful snow in my beard GDM, alas many of my circle of acquaintance inhabit an arguably happier hunting ground now but their wisdom and that of those still ticking is sufficient to identify a fake.

Never played bridge. Unlike my lower-middle class grandparents.

Me or Kier?… :-)

Seems you are missing out. : )

Not my thing. I’m very different from them. They were hopelessly naive, in an era where it was seen as a virtue. The world is much harsher now. They wouldn’t be the same people today, which is sad.

Sound like 2 Diamonds.

Shudder the thought but I'm quite sure those from whom I've sought enlightenment over dinner at numerous Judges lodgings over these many years (and even at a place near Ellesborough) although they may not compare with the company you keep, are as one in their assessment of our current Deputy PM.

If you’re expecting me to place any weight on what some crypto-fascist Judge thinks about anything, then you’ll be wholly mistaken.

It takes a lot more than merely being an HHJ to impress me. Especially in relation to the noncey ones.

The judges are usually the least interesting at table, far more illuminating are the ones invited to provide local colour such as scientists, university chancellors, lords lieutenant, major employers high ranking civil servants and even middling grade ones - like me.

Do these dinners take place before or after you put the keys in the fruit bowl?

The chauffeurs/chaffeuses do that stuff below stairs I imagine.

Fruit bowls are disgusting.

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

Fruit bowls are disgusting.

They are if you shit in them.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

They are if you shit in them.

And sometimes when you don’t.

 

[johnny crossan]

They are if you shit in them.

Would certainly be a talking point.
