Prime Minister describing his racism. We expected this with the Tories, but it should never have happened with Labour. And whilst Starmer is a new low we have seen it before, there was racist campaigning by Labour during the 2015 Miliband election too.

Phones were a matter of technological improvement. Digital exchanges came in around 1980. Other countries experienced the same change from only some people having phones to being universal. US sitcoms of the 70s had stories based around "party lines", because not everyone could have their own phone

Nowhere will you find Corbyn himself approving of the renewal of trident. On the contrary he has always campaigned against it.

No, I'm afraid you don't understand. The manifesto is a product of the party, not the leader. Corbyn is a democrat. He believes in following party democracy. Party rules. That doesn't mean he agrees with everything the party decides. It's different with Starmer, who doesn't respect democracy.

No response as to what part of what I said was wrong. OK, name the parties that have successfully put MPs in Westminster. Labour and... the odd independent or George Galloway vehicle. Now I'm not saying that only Labour could do it. But Labour did it because they used to have a broad church.

They won't charge her. They'd be proving the law is an ass if they do. And they know that.

What good do you think is done by jailing her? What morality is served?

Three missions? Oh, I imagined there were more. Although I do very much appreciate how little memory there was for any of this! Right then, I'll have a play with Elite compendium. Thanks!

Mind you, back in the day I kept expecting missions to arrive at some stage, as I'd heard about them, but no one talked about them not being on the cassette version. Probably kept me playing longer than I otherwise would.

Great stuff Mark! It's just occurred to me that I never played any Elite missions, as I only had the BBC cassette version. Which version of Elite has the most missions? For any platform, as I'd be using an emulator regardless.
