I just thought of it tonight and then couldn't get it out of my head. How do we make this a thing? It needs to go viral. Inspiration was someone describing her as "just a demanding boss", and all I could think of was one of those posturing, power dressing imbeciles trying to throw a teammate under the bus in a boardroom showdown.

Yes. Image of her saying 'the British are the worst idlers in the world', not in Britannia Unchained but as an aside to camera, about her teammates, while wearing a power suit.

Davkaus Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) Brexit means Brexit. We didn't vote for us to go to foreign meetings. We can be isolated over here, and just cope, like we did with the bubonic plague. We didn't need the EU to get through that, in the good old days when Britain was British.

Xann Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Quote One of the most senior government advisers has said the UK does not need its farming or fishing industries, according to reports. In comments seen by the Mail on Sunday, Dr Tim Leunig is understood to have said the food sector was “not critically important” to the country’s economy – and that agriculture and fisheries “certainly isn’t”. The economic adviser to the chancellor, in his leaked emails, is reported to have said that ministers could follow the example of Singapore, which is “rich without having its own agricultural sector”.

"Not critically important to the country's economy" isn't the same as "not needed". Something can be both economically non-essential and yet still important for a host of other reasons. I expect that the current shambles actually won't care too much about the various environmental, cultural and security reasons to maintain a solid agricultural sector either but this particular advisor is just stating economic reality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a great photo of the Tory front benches the other day, and I can't find it. It nicely illustrated the calibre of self serving filth running the country. The Private Eye referred to them as poodles. They're not even that, they're blaggers. Along for the ride and to look after their own interests. Policy is being steered by their advisors, and they're in thrall to the likes of Mercer and the Kochs. Quote The economic adviser to the chancellor, in his leaked emails, is reported to have said that ministers could follow the example of Singapore, which is “rich without having its own agricultural sector”. Singapore is a city state, the UK is a nation state. The money will be where the skyscrapers are, and as for the rest of it......? Also it's more than likely the 'rich' he's talking about there is the rich on paper rich, that they show you on the news. The rich get richer, certainly, but somehow it doesn't balance with what's going on in our society. Everything they've touched has turned to shit, and their solution is to lower standards further and deregulate finance. The people voted for this. Cummings did say they were thick.

What next, the motion “against executing fluffy puppies and for renationalising the railways”? I take your point, but an independent review into the government's response is hardly a bad thing is it? I get the feeling with this kind of thing that it's just if the opposition have chosen something, vote it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 38 minutes ago, Rodders said: what issue do you have with the wording? What is wrong with any of the content in it? Labour wants the government to be investigated, obviously the government doesn’t want that and voted it down. The amusing thing was tacking on a motion to ‘thank responders’. It’s just political theatre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
