Rees-Mogg leans over to the guy next to him and says "Where's my bottle opener gone?" And the guy says "You gave him the day off"
There is a movement to get this Jarvis Cocker song, Running the World, to number one. Do not listen to it if you are offended by bad language, and if you are hard of hearing the lyrics are on the screen.
I can live with most swear words but I cannot abide the word he uses to describe the people who are running the world. It is a word I will never use. This song is not for me.
There may be trouble ahead. Pfeffel now has a decision to make. We either pursue a path that keeps Britain as a serious mainstream economy or be drift towards the banana republic model. If they reject regulatory alignment with the EU and go for No Deal let's see if that 80 majority suffices when these new Tory MP's contemplate major closures in the areas that they represent for their newly found Brexit loving pals.
I've been asking on another forum for a list of benefits there will be from a spaffer Johnson lead brexit. I should know better I was
Nominations are now closed for the "twat" of the year competition. The top 10 in no particular order are Trump Johnson and with his outstanding performance in the past week, the Aussie, Scott Morrison. Erdogan Salman Saud Benjamin Netanyahu Viktor Orban Vladimir Putin Bolsonaro Katie Hopkins
Labour may have inadvertently sown the seeds of destruction in Pfeffels administration. By their continual outbidding of the Tories they seem to have dragged them into territory where they are uncomfortable to say the least. The day of reckoning will soon come when Pfeffel has to put his money where his mouth is and only time will tell if he is capable of honouring all those rash promises if Brexit goes pear shaped, as it surely must.
Scott Morrison is currently smashing this one. His country is literally on fire and he's playing the violin.
Will the public remember, in one years time? I doubt that much will change over the next 12 months as we will be in the transition period and effectively still in the EU, but if in a years time the borders aren’t sorted and supermarket shelves show a few gaps, or cars in the workshop take longer to repair, because we no longer have a just in time delivery system, things might start to get hairy. Add in the fact that many of the European foreigners, people want rid of, won’t be leaving and more immigrants from further afield turn up when their countries demand visas for trade deals, a few of the anti immigrant brigade will start to kick off. I can imagine him reneging on promises over the next 12 months, using the “not being out of the EU yet” as an excuse.
Was just thinking .... Yesterday - Racism mars Premier League football match. Today - Let's knight Nigel Farage. Bonkers
Yesterday - lets help save the environment & conserve electricity Today- lets buy loads of stuff that we can add to landfill & put loads of needless lights on Its a strange planet we live
Perhaps there will be more than a few problems for the Tory government to deal with in the coming year. If they screw up over Northern Ireland there will be severe repercussions and all the bluff and bluster in the world isn't going to put that fire out. Scotland will be applying some persistent pressure for independence but it's Ireland that will be the most immediate threat to the union. This article highlights just how little the Tories think of Northern Ireland, or the people who are only asking for fair treatment. https://www.theguardian.com/comment...s-troubles-victims-vexatious-northern-ireland
Great piece no7, thanks for posting. My own views echo the writer’s, and have done ever since the Spaffer took over as Fuhrer. The Tory Party, as currently configured, despite their full title being the Conservative and Unionist Party, simply don’t give a **** about any part of the UK other than England. The Brexit they will deliver will, inevitably, lead to both Scotland and Northern Ireland eventually leaving, in the latter case most probably amid a resurgence of violence. They will be allowed to go because they aren’t a necessary part of the plans any more. England will become a European version of Singapore, a tax haven for billionaires. The glorious potential that de Pfeffel waffles about means the potential to make his backers more billions, and nothing for the poor bastards who actually inhabit this green and pleasant land.
Shouldn’t they now be called the Conservative and Onanist Party? Spaffer is clearly the biggest onanist in the party, but there are plenty more where he “came” from.
The only part I would argue with is that the Conservatives did stand a candidate in one of the seats. And for many years the Unionist of Northern Ireland were part and parcel of the Conservative party. For what it is worth, no mainstream political parties should put forward any candidates in Northern Ireland as it should be the moral duty of the UK Government to remain impartial, something the current UK Government finds impossible.
The irony of the tories buying off the DUP like a dockside whore in order to cling desperately to office will no doubt be lost on them. Shameless and morally corrupt.
