Off Topic The Politics Thread

From the photo, I genuinely thought it was Eddie Izzard.

 

There's bollocks, there's complete bollocks and then there's the utter bollocks you come out with.

 

What's wrong with a member of the government, of any political leaning, having a Union Jack Flag in the background?

 

Spoken like a man with a portrait of the Queen in his living room.

 

Absolutely nothing...and as you can read on and see Col. I seem to do mine with a QPR playoff flag in the background..

Put your colours in the zoom feed, and I let everyone know what a proud supporter I am...wish Michael Gove would do the same thing

 

Why do you think they do it? Who are they appealing to?

 

Just being patriotic.
You know, proud of their Country.
Happens most other places.
Only here do some have a problem with it.

 

But you said it was "much more worrying".
Why?

 

Do you think their display of patriotism is genuine?

 

How could I know for sure, not knowing them personally?
I just don't have a problem with my Country's flag being on display, especially in an official capacity.

 

Is anything any politician does genuine?...

 

Fair enough. I’ve got some magic beans for sale if you’re interested.

 

Yes.

 

You're right. Diane Abbott made a genuine idiot of herself... regularly

 

She’s always the go-to.

 

Humour is subjective.

 

This is true. I found Charlie Stayt taking the piss out of Robert Jenrick quite amusing.

 

No one else gets close to her

 

do they come wrapped in an irish welsh or Scottish flag
