This government can't fall fast enough. Really? That would be a criminally disgraceful appointment. Not even May could do that, could she? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we all know who their next leader is going to be. Some will say they don't have a plan A more cynical observer might suggest this was the plan all along. She's a patsy. And getting a few government contracts for her husband's businesses was/is the price. I will add the word allegedly too just in case it matters at all to VT.

snowychap Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Well, Fox is on the treasury benches now so it looks like he's not going. Maybe Boris has been stitched up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didn't he take it? Ultimately (and lets hope) the moment has passed him by. But they need a quick-wit and an orator to stand against Corbyn. May's never going to cut the mustard and Ress-Mogg? Don't make me laugh. He wanted someone to take the fall for Brexit imo. Found them in Cameron + May and now we need a saviour - you know, like Trump n that Boris is the walking talking personification of the Tory party to me. I'm no political analyst and I'm more likely to be wrong than right about most things but that's always been my take on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is really the whipping if May does indeed go. In a world of reasonable politicians making sensible choices we don't end up with May really do we? Boris has been around the block. How well do the others play Realpolitik? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdly, MrsVM has an absolute brain fart with the word pasties. Always has and seemingly always will. She likes them too, but always asks for a paste - y. Weird. Anyway n that so I should probably add something about Eurocratic nonsense/Great British Pasties for Great British Workers et al or in fairness something about protecting our European rights as European pasty eaters to eat any sort of pastry related produce as long as it's not culturally appropriatory yadda yadda yadda All I really want to say is that I eat a Ginsters pasty once. It was like goat vomit wrapped in heartburn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like goat vomit wrapped in heartburn. I used to live in Cornwall, and we'd get Ginsters seconds pasties delivered to our tea bar every day. They were fresh from the bakery, but all the rejects that couldn't go to shops and they were OK and good value. The best pasties were from Barnecutts. The cheese and onion ones, only available on Tuesdays and Friday were just awesome. These days you can get them on the internets from http://www.barnecutt.co.uk/pasties-by-post/ Happy days.
