Sorry, but I found this boring and utterly pointless! Can’t we do better? I agree with Rosie51.
I shall probably stay off News and Politics if this is the standard it has come down to!

I think you’ll find that I’m correct with my definition! It comes from trump’s Christmas speech.

Well done!
In the meantime my imagination has run riot.

I can’t, not I can.

So many options
Red Leather Wearing Sirens
Reliable Ladies With Spaniels
Real Layabouts Watching Snooker
Richard the Lionheart’s Wife’s Sister

Please tell us Cossy, or I will be thinking up silly ideas all night. For we Gavin and Stacey fans, ā€˜if you know, you know’ relates to the Owain Hughes in joke, but I can make that fit your letters.

Nah, it's just a bit of humour in a light way. cossy doesn't do "cliques"

it a guess the ......... x game. I haven't a clue

Lathyrus3 Thu 01-Jan-26 18:40:48

I don’t like cliques.

That sort of know something you don’t know and I’m not telling.

Only the chosen elite are allowed in……..

This is a review of the book W.S. (short story) I was thinking of - it stuck in my mind because it was creepy, it must be 40 years since I read it.

Regular Labour’s Wrong Statements?

This is an excellent thread.

Delila Thu 01-Jan-26 18:25:28

Really left-wing socialists?

Galaxy Thu 01-Jan-26 18:19:34

Well none of us do Rosie grin

Rosie51 Thu 01-Jan-26 18:18:57

Why use an acronym that isn't well known, especially in News and Politics? Is it intended to be an exclusive thread for 'those that know'?

Casdon Thu 01-Jan-26 18:16:44

I’m sure I read a book years ago with a WS as an enigmatic mystery figure, I’ll see if I can find it, maybe it’s a Real Life whatever his name was?

Wyllow3 Thu 01-Jan-26 18:11:55

RLWS

google also suggests Real living Wage (s)

we are in News and Politics so its not an item of bric a brac....

Galaxy Thu 01-Jan-26 18:05:14

Is it real life something something.
Am I close?

Chestnut Thu 01-Jan-26 17:23:22

Google says Rice Lake Weighing Systems, a manufacturer of industrial scales and software (RLWS).

Are you asking if there are any fatties here?
