It's in England, you do know, which is where this particular outrage of old white guys stating what girls should and should not wear started, you do know. About which you were pontificating much outrage. So WTF???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dog-days Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Supermarkets report running low on turnips following the environment secretary's advice to eat them instead of salad vegetables. If Thérèse Coffey is spotted on the luxury yacht belong to the CEO of a turnip-growing consortium (should there be such a thing), I will get suspicious!

Heartofice Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Looks like Rishi has gotten a new NI deal. Seems to be some sort of Stormont Break that could be used to prevent new single market rules being put in place. Hopefully this new NI deal will help to solve the Tomato and vegetable shortage in the Republic of Ireland which has obviously been caused by Brexit.https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2023/02/24/tomato-shortage-in-ireland-to-last-until-summer-growers-warn/Rationing move introduced as tomato shortage impacts Irish supermarkets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope Sunak finally grows some balls. It's also not in the national interest for a third successive PM to be brought down by his or her tragic flaws (Cameron, Johnson, Truss) or a band of disaffected malcontents who want to watch the world burn (Theresa May).

BoJo had real political gifts that took him from a disgraced journalist to the heights of politics and got him a resounding mandate: https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/my-boris-johnson-story/ The fact that he was chronically unsuited for the office he desperately lusted and failed pathetically in it after shouldn't obscure that.

A wilding Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I will grant you that Johnson has buckets of charisma. But behind the facade is an empty narcissistic shell. His genius, such as it is, is portraying his true character as a joke for laughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
