What new horror will emerge today? Labour could only manage 5% of the Vote, they may as well disband and look for useful work.
I can’t imagine what events and happenings are yet to come. They always seem to exceed my most ridiculous, unimaginably stupid and horrendously contemptible predictions, by a very large margin.

It’s as if they have were borne, brought up, educated and worked somewhere other than on Earth. Like they have not been exposed to people and don’t understand how they function. It’s actually quite entertaining, but at the same time it’s so serious that you feel guilty about laughing at them.

I have a cunning answer, as I said earlier there is a rational explanation to all this
That clever Mr Putin invented a W.M.S (weapon of mass stupidity) and exploded it over the UK some years ago.
He chose a day when there was no wind so we copped the lot.

Only those, like myself (widely declared by many to be mad already) escaped the effects as we were too far gone already, and clung doggedly to what we perceived as the truth.
Now things have gone so far downhill, we will end up looking like the sane ones after all.

It all depends on who is left to do the judging, while looking out comtemplatively over the ruins on a once highly regarded nation that turned itself into a laughing stock.

You may as well join in the general laughter and say
"Ah well, the weather was against us."

In a cemetery, it can cause problems.
It's all right for some, Most cemeteries refused to have my ancestors anywhere on or near the premises.
We do actually own one, (it's actually a war grave) but it's already standing room only and I'll have to settle for a place on the grass.
Fortunately I have always liked fresh air. :cool:

Moggy is to quit the ERG to make an even bigger nuisance of himself in parliament.

Maybe, but if we leave before a GE (with a proper leave not a false one) then the Brexit vote will fall away, like the UKIP vote did after the neverendum,
I agree, but with a working majority of one, I can’t even begin to see how Johnson can achieve that.

My personal view is that he will call a snap GE whilst the Boris Bounce still exists. The bounce is looking to be about as bouncy as a wet flannel hitting a tiled floor, so he will probably form some sort of pact with BXP. Farage will want a very high price though, key government roles, cars, jets and all the trimmings.

I shouldn’t laugh, but I can’t help it.

If you add the votes from the Brexit party, the Tories would have won the bi-election easily. This will not be lost on Boris.
Not "easilly", by around 2000 votes - down from a tory majority of 8000 plus and excluding other eurosceptic parties in previous election. I'm no pollster, but I call that a very significant swing in favour of remain. cummings will have noticed that

BJ spends more on preparation for no deal to hollow out the BXP and at the same time, push Labour's remainers to the Libdems. The downside of this strategy is seeding doubts in the wide majority of moderate brexit voters.
Soon, the cost of preparing for brexit will exceed initial promises of savings made in leaving the EU (about £17 billions a year), that would change a lot of minds.

John Curtice says that if BJ calls a snap election, LibDems may win 50-60 seats and BJ may not get the majority he needs.

Prince Ginger traveled to a climate change conference by private jet, and then onwards from the airport to the venue by helicopter. James Hewitt really needs to get a grip on the twat.

I never take much notice of by elections. They give the public a chance to express their thoughts without real damage to the politics and party they really believe in.

Come general election time those thoughts disappear and they revert to type. That's why we stay stuck in a mess.

Try telling that to Jo Swinson. I’ve just heard her on the wireless. The poor girl thinks it’s all real, banging on about climate change and fairness in society.

I don’t think she realises that the vote last night was to either send one to Boris, or folks are getting a twitchy sphincter about Brexit because they’re not getting as much holiday money to the pound as they once did. With the exception of Brexit, people don’t give a monkey’s armpit about the things she is championing. It will be a sad job, but someone must tell her and let her down gently. Perhaps something along the lines of, it’s not you, it’s the electorate......?

No,




You’re thinking of Kak
No, that would be a name.
As you appear to be this thread's spelling and grammar expert, you shouldn't allow yourself to make such silly mistakes.
