Mash is for children or the really aged..and I am neither. My preference is potatoes with a sauce vinaigrette fine herbes . It is a sophisticated taste, perhaps you will enjoy it in time.
Food written in French does make it sound so appetizing and special. I have a liking for pomme de terre a la Dolphinwaz. Not to everyones taste but lovely with chips.
I know it sounds pretentious but its just potatoes really.

I've seen it written as Dolphinwa... local variation perhaps?

They've tried everything else so now Corbyn is alleged to have Dementia!
In the Daily Mail.
"

Jeremy Corbyn, 70, is 'too frail' to be PM and may stand down as Labour leader because he is not 'physically or mentally' up to the job, senior civil servants fear "
Mandarins discussed the Labour leader's future at an event this month as rumours mount that he is 'losing his memory', where one went as far to say that the 70-year-old was 'not firing on all cylinders'. They are increasingly worried about the prospect of Mr Corbyn becoming prime minister because he is 'propped up' by his advisers, according to the reports. One senior civil servant said: 'When does someone say [he] is too ill to carry on as leader of the Labour Party let alone prime minister?... He is not functioning on all cylinders.' Another said: 'There is a real worry that the Labour leader isn't up to the job physically or mentally but is being propped up by those around him.'

Not so clear a case as Trump so obviously is,and clearly not so afflicted as Boris who can't recall referring to the French as "Turds" :cool:

He’s not too frail. He knows precisely what he wants to do. If you have ever worked and put a bit of money away to make life more comfortable, you should hope that he never gets his chance.

I hope he gets the chance, proving just how wrong all the anti-Corbyn Tory propaganda has been.

it's just the privileged desperate to avoid another Attlee style socialist government. We saw the same in the USA with all the false anti-Obama propaganda by the Republicans, calling him a communist or Marxist just as Corbyn is dubbed likewise here now.

Corbyn is a left wing socialist just like some of Attlee's ministers were, neither a Marxist or communist.

JC's immediate tax plan is to extract more money from the shareholders, especially those overseas.
It does not affect much UK taxpayers and pension funds though.

What about his plan on scrapping IHT and returning to a gift tax of 40% on everything over £125k,(its currently £475k) . That would decimate most peoples estates. (tax would be due on anything left by deceased)
Would mean folk couldnt even give kids help over 7 years before death. (at moment you can give upto £475k to anyone, no tax at all, as long as you live more than 7 years after gift)
Anybody thinking Corbyn is only aftet super rich is wrong. He, s after middle class investments. Wants us all back where we were in 50's. Super rich are generally untouchable. (take a trip to IoM and look at their tax system to see why)
Flecc, you are so wrong. He is nothing like Atlee. (for starters Atllee initiated our nuclear arms capability, Corbyn will make ours redundant)
