Isn't this Sheffield's flag incorporating it's coat of arms?: Deo Adjuvante Labor Proficit' means "With God's help our labour is successful." I like it. Not sure about the modern. I like geometric designs, but that one looks a bit amateurish.

Ooh btw, if you're going to have a go at me for shortening his name, best not to do so in the same post as you call me 'Cheeky Girl'

So what do you think of those Tory MPs who instead of calling him William Wragg or Willie Wragg, have chosen instead to call him 'Toerag'?

Well, that what you support for office have had 14 years to do something about it....Mind you, everything else they've touched has turned to faecal matter, so probably a good job they haven't tried to interfere in it. Incidentally, we're not talking about unemployment benefits, but sickness benefit. So what do you think of all those good solid Tories in the shires and heartlands on sickness benefits? Perhaps many of them are waiting for treatment from the NHS, and are caught up in the 7 million + backlog....Another fine Tory mess. Did you? Well the link which you removed was from The Times, quoting the rise in sickness benefit claimants from the Tory shires. Not surprising you removed it And your 'good' name - which one is that Lockdoctor, West77, or Axe? Hey, one more invented person and you'll have as many pseudonyms as Grant Schapps

I was reminded of That when reading a report in today's newspapers about the massive rise in claims for sickness benefits. During her era the numbers of people claiming such benefits rose remorselessly as workers from the industrial heartlands were thrown on the scrap heap, and allowed to rot on long term sick. Anyway, it appears that the latest huge spike in sickness claims comes not from the industrial heartlands, but from the impeccably Tory Tonbridge, Basingstoke, Buckingham, and South Cambridgeshire: Back in the 80s working class tories conspired with scum press, and the likes of Tebbit in castigating those thrown on the scrap heap. I sincerely look forward to reading the 'thoughts' of Axe, Hackey, and the rest on the 5.8 million people now on a sickness benefit. Benefits: Who gets them and how much do they cost? - BBC News

Margaret Thatcher was notorious for having no sense of humour.

If someone is going to make a criticism of my calling the MP Willie, instead of William; it feels incongruous to do so from a position of having numerous poster names, yet ownly claim to ever have one. I should also point out that Axe was criticising me the other day for being supportive of him in his apology. That somehow because he's a Tory, I should be criticial of him. Yet now because I called him Willie instead of William, I'm being subject to criticism. It's noticeable that the same posters who are criticising me for this seem to have a blind spot when it comes to criticisms of the Government. Apparently they are faultless or above criticism.

It is a perfectly straight forward message that shouldn't require any further explanation.

Given your numerous postings on here, you're no-one to lecture anyone in propriety. Especially regarding names, I mean how many have you had on this Forum? 3 or 4? Exactly.

And you've changed your tune it was only a matter of a couple of days or so ago that you were castigating him calling him a pervert!

She had a whole load of adjectives thrown at her. She even had a thread of her own on this forum.

They don't. But why the carefulness around the sensitivities of MPs? I don't recall any of this when Diane Abbott was being discussed.

So it's okay to call William Wragg a Toe rag or an oily rag, but not Willy Wragg. Even though it's well established that Will or Willy is a shortened version of William.

Are Tory MPs calling him Tow- Wragg, or Toe - Wragg being demeaning as well?

Very good point! Comeo n Westie, was Margaret Thatcher immature as well?

That's funny because a member of Parliament's Security and Intelligence Committee said that ministers turned a blind eye to allegations of Russian disruption.

I didn't know Wragg was married or had children. Now with regards to you thinking it is immature of me to shorten his name to Willy, hardly a crime. Some people shortened Margaret Thatcher's name to Maggie, or Thatch. But anyway as revealed on Newsnight, even his own colleagues in the Parliamentary Conservative Party call him 'Tow'.

Speaking of Russia, why do you think both Theresa May and Boris Johnson turned a blind eye to allegations of Russian disruption in the Brexit referendum?

Perhaps you could construct an argument which is both interesting and informative on the subject of the Post Office scandal.

Willy Wragg is no longer a Tory MP, but has resigned the Tory whip.

Which story? The Willy Wragg one, or the Tory Mayoral data harvesting story?

Isn't it lovely that Suealla and co can spend hundreds of millions on housing locals in a foreign country, when her Government has overseen a massive rise in homelessness in their own country. Bunch of useless farts.
