On the Ning Nang Nong
by Spike Milligan

On the Ning Nang Nong
Where the Cows go Bong!
and the monkeys all say BOO!
There's a Nong Nang Ning
Where the trees go Ping!
And the tea pots jibber jabber joo.
On the Nong Ning Nang
All the mice go Clang
And you just can't catch 'em when they do!
So its Ning Nang Nong

Cows go Bong!
Nong Nang Ning
Trees go ping
Nong Ning Nang
The mice go Clang
What a noisy place to belong
is the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!!

Its not enough for them to steal Brittany and Normandy from us, but now they want to steal Jersey's fishing waters.

Well it's not turning out to be a good day for Labour, is it?

First, they lose Hartlepool, a Labour seat for as long as anyone can remember, to the Tories.

Then they lose Harlow Council to the Tories.

And in latest news, the Labour group leaders of BOTH Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire County Councils have lost their seats to the Tories.

So what's going on here? Is it going to get still worse for Keir Starmer?

Can Labour ever be a credible alternative government again?

All constructive comments are welcome.

And since a certain Labourist not a million miles from Hartlepool may have a view, I've temporarily taken him off Ignore.

I'll post more results when they come in.

Awens to All:

Today, I was watching a YouTube that covered the Story of a Nazi War Criminal being Hung by Albert Pierrepoint. So I looked it up and found his Wikipedia Listing:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Pierrepoint

In it, there is mention that he was a Pub Owner in Manchester that was called 'Help The Poor Struggler'.

So I did a spot of Research into whatever became of the Pub and found that it had been Demolished to make way for a Major Traffic Roundabout on Manchester Drive.

I found a YouTube that chronicled where the Pub 'Help The Poor Struggler' and several other Old Neighborhood Pubs, Businesses and even a Chapel that were schedule for Demolition to make way for the Planned Roundabout.




I remember going to a certain Pub in 2006 while I was staying at the Old Sarum Camping Park called The Butt of Ale Pub.

https://whatpub.com/pubs/SAL/81/butt-of-ale-salisbury

Since then, that Pub was Domolished to make way for the Building of Four Houses.


So what Pubs that are now Demolished that the rest of you guys can recall?
