Tory general election majority in doubt as Telegraph poll shows lead of just eight points

How nice! let me be the first to offer my congratulations
"That's a Good start Boris!"

After all, fairs fair, credit where it's due

The Conservative Party resembles a pub once described in classic fashion by Les Dawson.

"It was a class outfit,
They had a woman come in every week
And change the rats"

Just unlocking my Ebike at the local shopping centre and a BXP party supporter came over and we had a short conversation as follows
"Great gadget these electric bikes" he began.
"True" I replied
"Did you know Jaguar have an electric car, but you still have to plug it in and it costs £65,000 ?
"Have they?" I asked
"Yes, and after Brexit we are going to stop them making them!"
"Oh aye? and why is that?" I was genuinely curious.
"Because Toyota make a self charging hybrid and there's nothing extra needed.
They have a dynamo on all four wheels"
"That's amazing! is that like, free travel?" I asked keeping a straight face
"It's true, and that's what we have to do as well!" he said proudly
"Brilliant idea!" I enthused
"It is isn't it?" he smiled.
"It's radical ideas like that that are why people vote for us!"
"keep up the good work!" I called back pedalling off.

I can't wait for the next canvasser from another party to wander across my path.
Next idiot please.... :cool:

I knew I was doing something wrong with our Toyota self-charging hybrid. And to think I confused the flap with a hole for a petrol filler. Doh!!!

Reminds me of the UKIP candidate in South Suffolk (2017 GE) who's manifesto included a photon-powered interstellar colony ship to travel to Alpha Centuri. Wonder if he's standing again....

I hope 50's comment is purely to tempt Danidl back, his prejudice, if not, knows no bounds. Upset everyone from Yorkshire, especially Barnsley, and now Ireland has benefit of his wit.
Perhaps he, s related to JRM? Come on 50,fess up.

That "I won't apoligise" apology for a PM said:

General election 2019: Boris Johnson says he will get Brexit 'over the line'

Which reminds me of the very sad events at various marathons/half-marathons (e.g. at Cardiff) where runners make it to the line then collapse and die.

Well my wife laughed, and she's Irish so it can't be all bad.

This old gag of Spike Milligan's just needs a coupe of words changing to be relevant today

"“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all the people some of the time, which is just long enough to be Prime Minister of the UK.”

Try to guess the original target nation.

It was aimed directly at Danidl because I know he wouldn’t take offence and he would see it for exactly what it was, a bit of stupid fun, which if anything, makes me appear to be the idiot.

Exactly. In my experience the Irish are the most likely to tell anti Irish jokes. The longest stream of them I ever heard came from an Irish barman in London. My drinking companions seemed to think they were funny, but I didn't, perhaps in part because I don't drink alcohol.
