What is it with leave voters fixating on ani and knobs? small hint, voting leave told us all we need to know (you dont have to prove how thick you are)

I am thick but I reckon there isn't a school in the world that could teach me to understand what you have just extruded.

Can anyone give me a clue? Is it a remain thing?

No it's a you thing. You didnt succeed in extruding your head from your anus. Despite the visual instructions you so kindly shared with us. And, it must be said, you're remarkably thick.

Who was a more privileged sect in the world?
I didn't say in the world, I said in England, and the most privileged sect then and there was the Church of England by an immense margin.

What privileges for Catholics? The gradual removal in the 19th century of centuries of discrimination is not privilege, just righting of wrong by removal of what should never have existed.

And as I posted, a process still not completed.

Perhaps sticking to grammar isnt such a bad idea. I mean, see what pretending to understand politics and voting leave got you? However, its friday, 4pm, and I hope you have a good weekend regardless.

I would say the only establishment against them were freemasons.

To say a catholic was strongly discriminated against in the 19th century is just plain wrong. And without going too deep a bit of an insult to those who were strongly discriminated agin.

Stop being wrong Flecc.
Are we talking pre or post Emancipation.mid 1850s ?. I think general slavery was abolished before it was legal to be Catholic and hold office.

Our own home grown Liars are no better
William Wilberforce declared himself to be a "no party man" and sat in Parliament as an independent MP.....


So much for a 46 year campaign by a Conservative MP, and also less remembered is this side of the man.

Despite his role in ending the slave trade, Wilberforce was opposed to workers’ rights to organise for better pay, conditions and working hours. In 1799 he drew up the Combination Act, which suppressed trade union activity throughout the United Kingdom.

No doubt as a sop to the moneyed class for their loss of income from slave labour.

Almost all hero's are not 100% on the side of the angels
Undoubtedly a great man, so long as you were not working class.

Clearly this problem requires far saner heads to deal with it than Trump and Boris

Whaley Bridge: Boris Johnson visits amid fears of dam collapse
PM tells residents that Toddbrook reservoir looks ‘dodgy but stable’

What an amazing coincidence we have a so-called PM who just happens to be a dam expert. (Rather than those damned experts...)

If he had said nothing you would be complaining.

Doing this sort of stuff is what he is actually half good at.

interesting look back article in the Express:

John Prescott, just two weeks before the result was announced in June 2016. In it, said Boris Johnson would become Prime Minister. In the piece from June 11, 2016: “
...
He also slated Priti Patel, now Home Secretary, and Michael Gove, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, citing them as names Mr Johnson would select for his Cabinet.
He said: “Then there’s fellow Brexiter Michael Gove – a former Rupert Murdoch journalist – who laughably paints himself as the scourge of bankers and the ‘elites’.
“This is the guy who constantly voted against Labour’s plans for a tax on banker’s bonuses to help fund 100,000 jobs for young people. He even employed a former chair of banking giant Goldman Sachs to advise him on education... and he went to Murdoch’s wedding.”

Rubbish!
He should have said
"Advisers tell me that there is reason to hope the dam will hold," or words to that effect, instead he comes out with a sound bite
"Dodgy but stable"
Reflecting his own performance of "Dodgy and not stable"
