Any business has to invest to maintain the company and its share of the market. Why would they be any different. Not paying their top earners insane amounts may free up investment money
You've pushed me to look at their horrible website and apparently they do, at least technically, still exist, even though more people go to watch Bishop Auckland play than they have members and no-one votes for them any more. They have cash-for-questions Hamilton as leader! Mmm - nice people
Don’t think they’re standing in elections though. Think a statement was made that their job was complete. But aye Hamilton and his irritating wife say it all.,
Now that 'touch of death' Truss is PM... who is next on her list of targets, disloyal tories, Macron,?
The PM was in discussion with some of their advisors about what to do about the energy cost crisis. The person leading the session, said right let's brainstorm possible alternatives, he paused, and asked the PM if it was okay if he used that term? Why she said, I am not epileptic? No but you are a blonde and they often get touchy when brains are mentioned!
Both are areseholes, but although Truss has been unfaithful to her spouse and had an affair, she can never hope to emulate Bonko's record of impregnating 5 other women whilst married .
Presumably I could tell a ginger joke about gob-on-a-stick if only her talent were half as big as her lips Angela Rayner then.
There's a proud history of political satire, there's a TV show specifically to take the mickey out of them ... ... before TV there were radio shows and satirical cartoons before that. People, these days, often seem to fanatically defend certain politicians and parties, I don't get it tbh.
Aye. Spitting Image used to hammer both sides with an equal amount of glee. Even politicians thought it was great. It was a badge of honour to get done. Something you never see today, when you have to pick a side.
Just seen that thread closure and it’s fair criticism of me for name calling and I apologise cos it’s not a good look. At times I just want to get off the threads if I’m honest. What’s clear is that i passionately think things need to change and wealth land and power need to be redistributed help others. Of course it could happen but many don’t agree and just think I’m a leftie fantasist. Think what you like. I think many don’t care about equality and are pretty hateful about others - especially migrants and when I sense that i start to dislike some posters. Got to agree to disagree I guess which is of course hard when you see suffering at close hand and want things to change but if I call others I guess I deserve it back. Maybe this isn’t the place I should be spending any time.
I mentioned to mates today that, in the midst of the current Orwellian Group Think where everyone has to love everything about the royal family, that it was good to see a decent debate here which was mostly civil. Yes after it got petty and I wouldn't disagree with Gordon closing the thread - but bits were interesting and informative (at least to me) as well.
