My apologies Agnew, my intelligence is not in your exulted league. Wife's is tho. She was in Mensa and was highest ranking civil servant in North of England for 10 years or so, but she must be thick too... She voted leave.
To be fair Agnew, you dont really come over as particularly intelligent but I suppose half of battle is self belief and you aint short of that are you?
Amazing how both intelligent remainers post in here isnt it.
I was pulling yer leg...

You just hate Alf Garnett because his character was played by Warren Mitchell who was a Jew.
A discriminatory attitude towards Jews is not racist, since as they maintain themselves, the Jews are not a race. They are a disparate religious group consisting of many races.

Their main groupings are as Sephardic, Hassidic, Ashkenazi, Ethiopian and Mizrahi Jews, and their racial links extend from Russia in the north to the Horn of Africa in the south.

Absolutely not, showing pride in one's nationality of necessity infers racial superiority, a preference over other races. It follows that racism is inherently an essential element of being a good and loyal subject or citizen.

I'm not racist though, since I'm ashamed of this country and therefore not a good and loyal subject of the crown.
.
I agree with feeling ashamed of this country, but suspect i wouldnt be a good loyal subject anyway (I'm not into roalty) and tbh dont believe in patriotism (theres more meaningful reasons I find for identifying with a community - or not)

Sunak spent his entire prepolitical career working for hedge funds before being parachuted into the house of commons in 2015. He will most certainly jump when cummings tells him to.
he knows who is boss, that's all.

I’m not surprised. With folks like you in it, who wouldn’t be ashamed.
It's the way you tell 'em :cool:
All Boris needs a a genuine Mafia don to compliment his new Trust Fund manager running the economy as an adviser
And no that isn't a typo...he's no longer a "Hedge fund" manager

Yes, but the boss is an unelected psychopath called cummings who most definitely does not give a damn about you, me or the electorate
does it matter? Cummings is at least a bit more intelligent than the rest of BJ's cabinet.
Rishi Sunak is the near perfect rent a mouth.

Just saw a question on a money advice site. Can any of you help CS?

A mate gave me and me BF a holiday. It was really good and lovely and that.
But now we have got back, my best friend said we might have to pay loads of tax. It’s getting me worried.

Now what happened is the mate gave the holiday to my BF so why should I pay tax? Shouldn’t my BF pay the tax?
We aren’t married or anything. Does that make it different?
My BF is on some silly tax rate but I only get a few quid. Would it be better for me to pay tax?
Can we make it like the mate gave it to me instead of my BF?

But not as clever as Larry the Cat, look how many PM's and advisers he's seem come and go.

it's difficult to pin the Mansion Tax or 40% tax relief on pension contribution on Larry though.
