Which Tyler Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Quite a lot seems to have happened today - they don't have anything to distract from do they? Quite apart from not isolating after testing positive (and why the hell test so late in the day - is it really that hard to take the test 15 minutes before leaving home?) and the completely unrelated announcement that we might stop self-isolation after testing positive... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-60318610 No "real" people care about the parties - which means that those complaining aren't real people, and can be ignored; and all reasonable, real people don't care - and you're a reasonable, real person aren't you? See, you don't care after all when it's phrased that way.https://www.nytimespost.com/get-rid-of-unnecessary-red-tape-tory-mp-slams-brussels-bureaucracy/ Traffic queues at Dover are nothing to do with Brexit, just EU red tape, because borders are only supposed to apply in one direction. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-keir-starmer-latest-news-b2010856.html?src=rss Champagne, Tinsel and BJ at "totally not a party; and even if it was, I wasn't there" christmas quiz.

I'm one of the people of the UK, and you do not speak for me, you flubbering blamange!! Judging from the two posts above, this seems to be classic and approved Toryspeak. dog-days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) We know a lot of musicians who played in these groups back in day, both British and US -- they know what they saw, and they saw a LOT of under 16, both boys and girls. One of the great producers from the era -- even now, and so much younger, we all will recognize the names he put on vinyl -- and the film titles for which he did the sound tracks -- says he sometimes in his most depressed moments thinks that in England at at the very least, the whole point of the music biz in the 1960's 70's was paedaephilia. He retired quite some years ago and now is a full time environmental activist, to which he's put all his very significant money, other than what's he's earmarked for his grand-daughters' education.

The Anti-Targ Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I thought Theresa May was supposed to be strong and stable. Hard to imagine a more presumptuous and pretentious phrase than "I speak on behalf of all of the UK". it is also rendered ridiculous when multiple people claim to be doing so. Surely as long as one citizen is speaking on behalf of the entire UK then there is no need for anyone else to do so. Oh wait, I was wrong, there is another more pretentious phrase "best ever prime minister" in association with the name Boris Johnson. Though it may be true if all other past PMs were complete AND utter shite. One might be able to credibly claim to be speaking on behalf of all those who voted for you. Though with the results of recent by-elections it may not be such a safe assumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodbye health and safety, food and buikding standards! I'm sure it will be easy to come up with some easily achievable petty EU rules they can scrap without any effort and claim victory. we can start with straight bananas / bent cucumbers. once we have got past the fake EU rules maybe we can look at the real ones like removing VAT on Energy as promised before the referendum. VAT on Tampons. oh sorry I forgot they voted down removing VAT on Energy. oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mormont Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 The whole point of a, creating a Minister for Brexit Opportunities; b, giving the job to the living incarnation of unearned upper class smugness that is Rees-Mogg; and c, starting his job with an appeal to Sun readers to write to him and remind themselves of all the things they hate about the EU, is surely obvious. They want their good old reliable culture war back. I said at the time and it's a pretty obvious thing, but actually exiting the EU doesn't change anything for these people as far as using Europe as a culture war punchbag goes. Want to fire up the Tory base? Pick fights with Europe! Preferably one-sided, largely imaginary ones. It worked when we were in the EU, and it works now we've left. It'll remain a go-to for decades yet. Mindwalker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
