Rajoy has gone (for now) as he lost a vote of confidence in the Spanish Parliament. He was next to useless. Hope Sánchez (PSOE) can make a better fist of it, and pragmatism rather than socialist ideology rules the day. Why are a plethora of countries from Spain, Italy, Greece, and the UK governed by Governments about as good as a clapped out Austin Marina while Germany has the ultra efficient Mercedes?
I don't know Ides, but I seem to remember you touting Rajoy as a potential leader of the UK conservatives, or some such weirdness? Did I dream that?
No dream Archers, I remember that bit of nonsense too. It goes well with Germany's "ultra efficient Mercedes" of a government
Yeah, Austin did the ambassador Although the Austin Allegro was probably more the Marina contemporary, but just as terrible as the Ambassador
I has a Morris Ital van in the 80s. Ex British Gas, bought at auction. Pretty decent workhorse and rarely let me down, though come to think of it, I did occasionally have to hit the starting motor with a hammer to get it going.
“I did occasionally have to hit the starting motor with a hammer to get it going.” Those were the days. I had a Morris Minor as my first car, complete with crank handle, which was used all too often. And the “sh1t in the carburettor” problem. Driving home in rush hour, then the engine would cut out, bonnet up, tap the carburettor with a spanner and hope it would clear the blockage and restart. Happy days.
In celebration of the British Leyland 'Lamborghini' ... I owned an MG Maestro Turbo for a while Went like the proverbial turd off a trowel depreciated even faster nothing needed to be hit with a hammer so I'm a bit off message in that respect
Now he is available!! Absolute perfect for "Team Tories." Rajoy, Fox, Gove, Johnson, Williamson make a dream ticket.
I don’t know about that spanish keeper, but with full backs of Fox and Johnson, a CB of Mike Williamson, that Gove better be the best CB in the world.
Something to be concerned about? That the reports were originally leaked by The Times, should dispel any claims that it is rumour being spread by lefties. Having said that, The Times backed remain, whilst Murdoch’s other daily (with a greater circulation), The Sun, backed Brexit. He certainly wanted to have his cake and eat it, by backing both sides. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/jun/03/government-plays-down-brexit-armageddon-fears
