    Who remembers Owen Smith? You know, the bloke who got soundly trounced by Corbyn when he contested the Labour leadership last year?

    He's said that, if he was Labour leader, he would have won the General Election

    I think this response is perfectly justified...

    Given his inner circle mainly consists of Breitbart conspiracy sociopaths and careerists with no backbone or self-respect, he doesn't have anyone there to tell him stop being such a catastrophic dong penguin every single day he's polluting the Oval Office (or, more often than not, pissing about on the golf course several thousand miles away from the Oval Office)

    Can't wait to see Trump's impression of Hawking at a press conference, which his zealots will angrily deny for months afterwards no matter how many times they see the clip...

    Can anyone answer the question why, if Boris Johnson and Michael Gove are so in favour of a public sector pay raise, both of them voted against it last week?

    I'm not the only one asking this, either...

    Is it because they're bullshitting ****s? I'm going with that. Sounds pretty likely.

    As the Western world is talking about that, thanks to Trump, will forever be on record as an official statement by the POTUS, let's have a look at some of the other things that the same poster has been posting on Reddit...

    Meanwhile, on this side of the Atlantic, here is the justification given by Charles Walker, the Tory MP for Broxbourne, for voting against increasing the public service salary cap last week...

    I think the third paragraph justifies spelling his surname with an "n" instead of an "l", don't you?

    Is that real? He sounds like a total nutcase.
    I'm no fan of Corbyn or McDonnell, but that sounds like it was written by someone working for The Express or Mail.

    Charles ****er MP certainly sounded like a nutcase when, in the House of Commons during a mental health debate, he began his speech about his OCD with the phrase "I have been a practising fruitcake for 31 years."

    And you're not even joking. Bloody hell.

    I thought that there was something disturbingly familiar about his bullshit, so I looked him up.
    I apologise to our visitors from across the pond, but I wasn't surprised to see that he's American educated.
    He attended The American School in London, followed by the University of Oregon.
    I've no idea why.

    I assume the Oregon bit was because he wasn't good
    enough to get into Middlesex poly.

    "The opponents of so called austerity couch their arguments in a way that make them sound generous and compassionate. They seek to paint the supporters of sound finances as selfish, or uncaring. The exact reverse is true. Giving up on sound finances isn’t being generous, it’s being selfish: spending money today that you may need tomorrow." - David Cameron

    Here's the same quote after being put through Google translate

    "How dare the plebs get angry at nurses not having a pay raise at any point this decade while me and my rich chums get ever-richer with all manner of loopholes me and my mate Gideon thought up. Don't you know your place? it should be on your knees, polishing my shoes, and being pathetically grateful if I should so much as offer a word of recognition, let alone financial reward for your services." - Cowardly Pig-****er David Cameron

    Leaving aside the moral argument or Cameron's history for a second, it's not sound finances.
    It's intentionally running down the health service so that they can privatise it, plus ideological shrinking of the state.
    Austerity has absolutely ****ed our economy, as many people predicted it would.

    Going back to morality and Cameron's history, how quickly he forgets those that cared for his sick son.
    Still, we can't expect him to have done anything about tax dodging ****bags, as that might have affected his father.
    And that's not even touching Brexit, that he caused to mend a split in his own party or the £1bn bung to the DUP.
    What a ****ing ****er.
