squirrelarmy Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Spaffer has once again done the only thing he is capable of doing and has got his current mrs pregnant again. I wonder if anyone has told him the correlation between over population and climate change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattiloy Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Found a copy of 2019 free press (thursdays) with an interview with Jess Phillips no less. Noticed ’When I last came, which wasn’t this millenia…’ ’… I saw Bowie - that was cool.’ 🤔 For starters it should be millenium rather than millenia but moreover.. Bowie played in 2000. Benefit of the doubt given its only just into this millenium? Or is Phillips telling porkies as part of her whole trying very hard to be perceived as the people’s MP thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine you and I have been to a fair few more than jess phillips mind. Particularly since she’d have been, checking wiki, 18 in 2000. So I would guess she wouldn’t have been to many more than that. 28 minutes ago, Ozanne said: I get the impression that's her thing, she tends to make things up to suit her persona? Yeah, I know being in that world surrounded by eton oxbridge PPE types must give you a different frame of reference, but the amount she plays on being a real salt of the earth, working class backstreet brummie brawler is lame considering she seems to be from basically a suburban middle class upbringing.

Is she really from the Eton world? I genuinely thought she was from a public school background, I guess her persona is working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parents were professional class. She worked for their company out of school, some campaign groups type stuff then into politics. Nothing wrong with that of course. But she’s happy to portray a life of hardship and economic struggle that is not entirely accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I think this is true of so many on the left, everyone feels they need to show that they grew up in abject poverty to show that they're working class as if it's a prerequisite of being left wing.

But then Starmer gets criticised for not shying away from his wealth? Labour are just a mess really. Everyone should want the Tories out and to achieve that, they need to work together - not constantly in-fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given she said millennia rather than millennium, i’d be surprised if she knew this mastermind level millennium knowledge. But thats moot really. You win this time, Phillips.

maelzoid Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 I don't really understand how Jess Phillips broke her ankle jumping in, but still had a full festival seeing headliners. I've never broken my ankle, but I would assume a trip to hospital and bed-rest...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never broken my ankle, but I would assume a trip to hospital and bed-rest...? Taking it at face value, I read it as happening in different years? - She last went to Glastonbury in the previous millenium - One of the years she went she saw Bowie (presumably the last one she went to) - One of the years she went, she jumped the fence and broke her ankle Some of the above may be bollocks, of course, but none of it technically contradicts itself.

I've never broken my ankle, but I would assume a trip to hospital and bed-rest...? A friend of mine broke his ankle at victorious festival a few years back. He hobbled around and saw a couple of bands (sitting at the back) before realising it was worse than he first thought and had to get a taxi to A&E. We all thought he'd just twisted it or something, till he got it x-rayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that makes sense, fair enough. I suppose the odd thing is that it's one of her favourite memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
