This country is just a fucking embarrassment by now:

The source alleged that Gino has a sporran, the pocket on a Scottish kilt, which he calls Justin Beaver and regularly flashes.

Not a great time to be a celebrity chef, misogynist or sexual predator. Being all 3 used to be an essential quality to work in television

Sounds like some other rebel groups have joined the fight and are approaching Damascus from the South and East as well. They may/may not be able to hold it, but definitely looks like game over for Assad.

It's happening amazingly quickly!

Keep your eyes peeled for the private jet arriving into Northolt, bringing Asma al-Assad home to Acton.

ha, i used to work with her. hope her life as a dictators wife has been a happy and profitable one.

Seems like only yesterday the rebels were being wiped out and Assad had pretty much won. But now he's finished. His family have left the country.

i used to work with her

Now you have revealed this, we need more detail.

deutsche morgan grenfell in the late 90's, we both worked in the structured products dept. she sat opposite me. there were rumours she was dating someone important. people used to say there was some kind of arranged marriage lined up, as her dad was quite high up in some sect of the muslim faith and assad was important in another sect and it would bring the factions together and unite syria. lots of rumours. nobody actually new what the truth was at the time.

she was a bit stuck up and i never really chatted to her to be honest so never really got to any truths, a few years later there were pictures of her marriage on the front pages of the newspapers. couldn't believe it.

Imagines a better world where dicki is married to Assad and brings peace to the middle east
sliding doors

I hope they catch him.

Marriage to Assad is a sweet deal. Free eye tests. He drives an Audi.

bashir al ... or asma ?

i should have laid on some charm and become president of syria.... or something

Did she eat her lunch at her desk and did she join the tea club ?

We drove through Syria in 1994. On almost every lamp post there was a portrait of Hafez Al-Assad. It was the most terrifying cult of personality I have ever seen in person. We went to the city of Hama where there were multiple massacres in the 1980s. The fear was palpable. The Syrian people we met were wonderful. Including the farmer who insisted we stay on his house when we had asked if we could pitch a tent on his land. I hope Assad and those who have upheld his tyranny receive the justice they dealt to others.

Not even a little bit of tootsie under the desk?

I got stuck in Damascus for one night in the 80s because of a cancelled flight. Security checks involved being jostled by short angry men, puffed up in their tight shirts, who turned out my gf's bags and held up her underwear, tampons etc for the amusement of those present.

and get her manolo blahniks dirty, no chance

I’m starting to think this was a paid-for hit. The writing on the shell cases feels like an attempt to pin the killing on a dude with a grudge or idealistic motive. It was more likely a shareholder. I don’t even think the guy seen in the CCTV with his face shown is the shooter. Backpack is the wrong colour, and he has a hoodie under a non-hooded jacket. The shooter had a hooded jacket.

There's a thread for this sort of theory....

I mean... a disgruntled shareholder who was unhappy that during his tenure the share price had almost doubled? suuuure.

she was a bit stuck up

Well, not everyone is from Acton.

Brings new meaning to the term "market cap".

Solving the crime by studying grainy security camera pics which have been colourised and enhanced makes as much sense as saying the twin towers were demolished by the CIA because you watched the video of them collapsing.
