Erm?! Blonde, elderly, overweight slimeballs aren’t my type personally. Please don’t speak for all of womankind. Not to mention my 4 year old could do a better job running the country.Lost Leopard Spot wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 12:15 pmMy wife, Enoch's girlfriend, Gooner Girl, most of the women in this country!!!

There are photos of Alexander Boris deSomething Johnson being handed packages of [take away food/ drugs] whilst dressed in his [underpants/fez - actually a smoking hat] circulating amongst the Camberwell Collective, and outrageously not being published by the National Press.
Who the fecking Dickens wants to see Boris Johnson in his scruds?

"A business and trade union group will examine alternatives to the Northern Ireland backstop...
Brexit Minister Robin Walker said finding a solution was "a priority".
The Business and Trade Union Alternative Arrangements Advisory Group will work with the Technical Alternative Arrangements Advisory Group - a body made up trade and customs experts - to consider the problem.
Members of the group will consider options for simplifying the movement of goods across borders such as trusted trader programmes and advanced use of data and IT systems."
What a cracking idea, I can't imagine why no one thought of it before!

I was trying to work out whether the acronyms stood for Fxckyouall, but they're actually BATUAAAG and TAAAG. How very disappointing.Enoch wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 6:01 pm"A business and trade union group will examine alternatives to the Northern Ireland backstop...

Once Gooner Girl Junior has finished mastering riding his pedal bike without stabilisers I’m sure he will turn his mind to the less important matter of Brexit.Lost Leopard Spot wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 6:13 pm...and listen you, if my dog can self-identify as a wolf, then I can jolly well self-identify as All Womankind, thank you very much.Gooner Girl wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 5:20 pm...Please don’t speak for all of womankind.

Re: The Politics Thread
Mark Francois: What an absolute throbbing bellend.
I watched him in an interview with Adam Boulton and another chappie last night, he was, without having the slightest fecking clue as to what he's on about, proclaiming how a no-deal Brexit is no bad thing.
So, upon having the situation regarding the effect it'll have on our car industry pointed out to him - "For our car producers - 122,000 work manufacturing cars and automotive equipment - they are going to be hit. A huge percentage of those will go overseas."
Rather than attempt to dispute what the expert had to say, Francois actually claimed that "the fundamental point is if they're going to be hit, at least it would be our choice."
I absolutely despair that people actively go out and vote for this feck*.

Re: The Politics Thread
It's astonishing the number of politicians who go out to bat, and are happy to opine at length, on things they just don't know anything material about.
I saw an old video circulating the other day where professional idiot Priti Patel was defending the death penalty and when given the example of eg how the Guildford Four and Birmingham Six would be dead now, replied that in these cases a court passing a death penalty would have to be convinced that "they had the full burden of proof".
That's a sentence that is utterly meaningless, and would appear laughable to anyone who had done one week of a law degree, even law A level, and most likely to a large proportion of the law public, and yet she was happy to hold court on Question Time in front of the nation!

Re: The Politics Thread
In other news, today's double-take:
You may have seen there has been a spat over the last few days after Johnson's erstwhile boss Max Hastings put the boot in and basically said he wouldn't trust him as far as he could throw him.
In that context, the Spectator is published an article from Conrad Black with the headline: Max Hastings v Boris Johnson: I know who I'd trust more.
Yes, THAT Conrad fecking Black. Who in the name of God has signed off on publishing that?!
What next, "In Defence of Andrew Wakefield" by H. Shipman.

Re: The Politics Thread
Mate I doubt there's much to be gained from you and I having an argument over the death penalty, (!) but that's not the point I'm getting at.
Rather, the brass neck to go on national television and hold court on something you know staggeringly little about. Brings me out in a rash thinking about it. Absolutely no sense of embarrassment.
