Quite. Hated by teachers everywhere and for good reason. The thought of him running the country turns my stomach slightly. That said, if Boris Johnson is the other option suddenly I’m rather liking Theresa May.
I thought about Theresa May last night when watching '999 - What's your emergency?'. A 105 year old lady had fallen in her home and been stuck on the floor for several hours. There were no ambulances or Police available to assist due to a lack of resources for both.

Re: The Politics Thread
Could a sensible/balanced, un-biased individual of a politician, who doesn't do smear campaigns and is just interested in getting the country back on its feet, please step forward. Male or female (I make no further definition) immaterial as long as they fit the criteria. I'll vote for you...promise.

Gove doesn't look fully formed. Literally!
I wouldn't trust the country to be run by a genetic freak who was half foetus half geriatric. I know, I know, looks shouldn't count, but... you expect the PM of the UK to belong to the same species...

Re: The Politics Thread
Absolute classics indeed. TKaM is the only book I've ever read more than once, I've also seen several different versions of the play. OMaM has to be in my all-time top 10 as well. Gove said, apparently, that "students ought to focus on works by British writers such as Jane Austen and Shakespeare".Harry Genshaw wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2019 12:34 pmI didn't know that.

As for Jane Austen, I'd love to contest him on that. I'm betting he's never read a Jane Austen novel in his entire life.

Re: The Politics Thread
Dominic Grieve: what a tosser!.
Just suppose, for a second, you wanted to be an MP. D'ya really think you've got a cat in hell's chance of being one independently? Have You Fxck! Hence why you join a party...
And this sour faced anti-democratic tit comes out with this crap:
Grieve: I will not hesitate in bringing down the government
Former Attorney General Dominic Grieve says he would be willing to leave the Conservative Party if it meant getting Parliament a say over whether to leave the EU without a deal.
The Remain-backing Tory says MPs "should realise that there is no other opportunity other than this one... to be guaranteed an ability to have a say on an incoming prime minister wishing to take us out on a no-deal Brexit".
He said the only alternative "if we get to a point where a prime minister is intent on doing this" will be to "bring down the prime minister's government".
"I will not hesitate to do that," he added. "Even if that means resigning the whip and leaving this party."
He says he will not tell his children and grandchildren that he "gave up" and so will take this "last opportunity to have a sensible way of influencing the outcome".
------
So fxck off then! I see Soubry, the sour faced fellow antidemocrat was in the background having an orgasm. Farewell to both of you at the next election.

I suggest Tories and Labour swap Letwin and Boles for Hoey and Skinner...
Then we can see who's cheering in September, Corbyn you wazzock!
And, as I understand it, Bercow has shot himself in the foot, because this can't be voted on again (according to himsen')
