General UK politics VIII - The Last Tory

[Mojo]

If the Reform Ltd parliamentary party were on a sinking dingy and all you had available was a canoe with only two seats.

Who would you take with you to watch until the bubbles stop and what brand of champagne would you toast it with?

The champagne bucket would be on the other seat.

Boris Johnson: I’ll stop paying BBC licence fee

Former PM urges people not to pay the annual levy unless Tim Davie gives ‘convincing explanation’ for bias row

Telegraph story so paywalled and I'm not paying

Does he not mean that he'll ask whoever pays for his domestic expenses to stop paying it?

The idea of BlowJob paying for anything himself is beyond incredible.

 

[Jack by the hedge]

The fact he's taking to task Tim Davie, the Tory place man at the top of the BBC, particularly amuses me.

Boris Johnson in jumping on excuse not to pay out money shock! News at Eleven.

Next thing you know he'll be criticising Robinson, Mason and Kuenssberg, mebbe even Evan Davies.

 

[P.J. Denyer]

The presenter on LBC this afternoon was claiming that the BBC News has a left wing bias. Mind you, he also said that immigration is 'the reason the country's in the state it is' but no-one's talking about it. So he's obviously completely full of ◊◊◊◊.

A famous example of 'short arms/deep pockets'.

May I suggest that removing his 'crown jewels' decades ago, may have prevented his later problems...



BTW the above pic should be nominated for AI pic of the year.

Today's Gammon outrage is that the Muslim mayor of Sheffield has cancelled the Christmas lights.

It's a complete lie but us being repeated and amplified by the Right so of course it's true, anyone that says there are Christmas lights in Sheffield is a traitor and shouldn't believe their lying eyes.

NO CHRISTMAS LIGHTS IN SHEFFIELD the THIS YEAR, COUNCIL CONFIRMS, Sheffield Council has confirmed there will be no traditional Christmas lights in 2025 - and hinted it may not return in future years.

This is a disgrace, the only time Sheffield didn’t have Xmas lights was during the war years, our history and traditions are being erased

Every year

WEST HAM say the POPPY does NOT align with their club values anymore and therefore they won't feature on the club shirt
WHAT IS GOING ON? @WestHam

I would stop any participation in my club if they took this stance

What a disgusting decision. West Ham of all clubs.

People died so that the club has got the priviledge to not wear the poppy. That should be enough for you to realise how important the poppy is. West Ham should be ashamed

West Ham say

Before the match, the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal will hold bucket collections and will be selling poppies around London Stadium.

A large poppy will cover the centre-circle throughout the warm-ups while members of the Armed Forces and representatives from Blesma, The Limbless Veterans, will provide a Guard of Honour in front of the Billy Bonds Stand and West Stand.

Blesma veteran Matty Woollard, who lost his right leg whilst serving in Afghanistan, will also speak to his fellow West Ham supporters about the importance of marking Remembrance Day and the work done by the charity and Royal British Legion in supporting veterans and their loved ones.

The Royal British Legion Band & Corps of Drums, based in Romford, will entertain the crowd with a selection of war-time tunes.

Wreaths will be laid by representatives of both clubs before kick-off. Bugler Osman Dervish will sound The Last Post before London Stadium falls silent to pay tribute to the fallen.

The Hammers will wear shirts emblazoned with a poppy which will be auctioned post-match to raise funds for charity. Further details will be communicated on whufc.com in due course.

Apart from that what has West Ham ever done for us.....

Apart from that what has West Ham ever done for us.....

"I was perfectly happy with taxpayers' money contributing to the ongoing operation of West Ham's stadium, but this non-existent poppy-moratorium is a deal-breaker."

 

[Mojo]

Bugler Osman Dervish will sound...

...a bit foreign?

Maybe that's what they were objecting to.

Wondering how much of this "Gammon outrage" is written in Moscow...

Sadly not as much as you would hope.
