Hypothetically, I wonder how someone like Snake Gove, May or Davies would fair working for the likes of Thatcher or Churchill ? I fear the current Government is a bit like the little African fella who entered the 100 m "freestyle swimming" in the Olympics ages ago and the poor little fella nearly drowned, Brexit is the current Governments Olympics & they are yet to choose an event.

Fair play to him. They're from another planet, these words removed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted February 23, 2018 Moderator Share Posted February 23, 2018 And not only is the tweet garbage, but they're so far wide of the mark - Stormzy donated £9,000 to a student from London who was trying to raise £12k so she could study at Harvard. She was already at Oxford, but wanted to get over there too. He made it happen. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn’t appear to be happening in the UK. It’s not an age thing as such. It’s an of an age thing. The current older generation have a different set of values to those behind them. They were born in different times. The point where the voting age gets to parity between Labour and Tory is also getting older as time moves on. Iirc it was somewhere between 45and 50 last time, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) No hesitation, apparently. The original tweet was on the 19th Feb and this apology was eventually tweeted at 10:28pm on the 24th Feb (having done the rounds for a good five or six hours before).

I quoted Corbyn's lawyers' letter a couple of pages back. He'd have been wiped out in court. Now I want to know how much he's had to pay for Jezza's legal fees, and what charity he's had to donate to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a post arguing that the current student loan system is a tax rather than debt. Which demonstrates that they are indeed mentally retarded.
