General UK politics VIII - The Last Tory

I drink tea. With cow milk, but that's more of a habit than anything else.

BTW the Palestinian Action ban has been overturned.

Pending appeal. The ban, not your tea.

And certainly no need for them to go to university when they can be dropping sprogs.

Return them to the status of non-wasting chattel, owned by their fathers if unmarried, their husbands if married, maybe?

I think the Supreme Court will agree.

And the problem with being a republic is exactly what?

You end up with someone like Farage as head of state.

 

[Carrot Flower King]

Back to my perennial question then: why do we need a head of state?

And if, as a republic, we do decide we need one, then how about limiting them to only ceremonial functions, like Ireland has done?

If it is a powerless, ceremonial, symbolic role, then the member for Innsmouth can parade araound, smirking, all he wants, AFAIC.

 

[P.J. Denyer]

I think the Supreme Court will agree.

Yes, and rightly so.

For several years we were one polo/skiing/auto accident or IRA bomb away from King Andrew and Queen Fergie.

ETA: Not to mention the somewhat Farage-like Edward VIII who did become king.

Tommy Robinson has left the country. Apparently, ISIS is targeting him, and he's asking for donations for the relocation and the ongoing security costs.

Nick Ferrari: Do you feel safe in London?

Nadhim Zahawi(Reform): No... I walked from my home.. & an individual walked past me... & I walked into the middle of the road

NF: What was he doing?

NZ: He looked as if he hadn't slept for a week... he looked like he might be violent

His adoption of the surname "Robin Son" is proving to be apt, isn't it?

Not to mention: grifters got to grift...

Should have asked "Why, did he look like a reform employee who didn't know you?"

ETA: Also stepped into the middle of the road at 8AM - in London?

Well, if he's blundering into the middle of the road of course he doesn't feel safe.

Plus of course this is performative BS for the provincial Reform faithful who think London is a terrifying no-go hellhole, because they keep being told it is by twats like him, while actual Londoners find it's absolutely fine.

Well its not as if the traffic would be moving!

There should be another Gammon meltdown any minute, Khan has just turned on the "Happy Ramadan" lights at Piccadilly Circus.

Breaking news: The Supreme Court has ruled that catsmate must drink five cups of milky tay with each meal. Barry's only.

It's hard to differentiate between the Main Character Syndrome and the out outright grift.

This is Yaxley Lennon you're talking about...Grift first, anything and everything else as an afterthought.
