mjmooney Posted October 12, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 12, 2020 THE CURRENT BANKING CRISIS EXPLAINED BY AN IRISHMAN Young Paddy bought a donkey from a farmer for €100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. The next day he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad news. The donkey's died.' Paddy replied, 'Well then just give me my money back.' The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I've already spent it.' Paddy said, 'OK, then, just bring me the dead donkey.' The farmer asked, 'What are you going to do with him?' Paddy said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.' The farmer said, 'You can't raffle a dead donkey!' Paddy said, 'Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead.' A month later, the farmer met up with Paddy and asked, ' What happened with that dead donkey?' Paddy said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at €2 each and made a profit of €898' The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?' Paddy said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his €2 back.' Paddy now works for the Bank of Ireland. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted October 12, 2020 Moderator Share Posted October 12, 2020 "Rethink Reskill Reboot." I'd like to see every artist in the UK given a badge with this on. And then permitted to stick the pins anywhere they like in Dominic Cummings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Public Law Project Quote ‘Tsunami’ of EU withdrawal laws ‘rubber stamped’: Latest PLP research Quote The process of leaving the EU has laid bare serious deficiencies in the UK’s system of law making, according to a report by the Public Law Project. READ: Plus ça change: Brexit and the flaws of delegated legislation system By Alexandra Sinclair and Dr Joe Tomlinson, Public Law Project The authors show that the UK’s withdrawal led to a ‘tsunami’ of delegated legislation in the form of statutory instruments (SIs). These are laws which, unlike Acts of Parliament are often not debated or scrutinised, cannot be amended, and are virtually impossible for MPs to stop.

Xann Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 The beef looks worse than the chicken. What an absolute disaster this filthy government is, unless you're in tax evasion or hedge funds? Are the whining pricks down the golf club still kidding themselves that Corbyn would have been worse? The whining pricks down the pub don't want to talk about Boris or Brexit anymore, eyes are downcast when those subjects are mentioned. Now they're talking about throwing the oldies and vulnerable under the bus to get Capitalism back on track. Back to work, survival of the fittest! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but they're all Labour activists making scurrilous accusations because she's fine her job of questioning the sainted JC so we can disregard all of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won’t do that. Draw your own conclusions on current BBC output. It's not Keunssberg really in this particular instance. The "crime" in my opinion is not naming the source. I mean it's Cummings, obviously. But the media outlets - all of them - use the same words all the time "a senior Government source". and it gives the impression of sort of independence or neutrality, but if they simply said "Dominic Cummings says Starmer is an opportunist" that would be more accurate and also visibly show that the bloke making the original smear is in fact the lockdown eye test numpty. It's the media's collusion in this "anonymous source" rubbish that's the problem - they should stop with it immediately. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno - it's not just her - so is it a policy of the organisations to conduct themselves this way? Whatever, it's being abused by both the Gov't "sources" and the media orgs, to the detriment of people generally and UK democracy particularly.
