UK Politics Thread (Part 1)

[Noo_Noo]

Dunno. Rees- Mogg would go I suspect and Boris, to try and understand what a back bone looked like.

The whole thing seems to be, yet again one of those things that could only really be born in this shit show of a political climate.

[Barnestormer]

We really do live in the craziest of times.

[Iftikhar]

That 400K can feed a lot of people.

Nothing to see here, no surprises

Brexit: Firms warn of problems as new EU trade rules kick in

[Kopstar]

@Kopstar

I spent a couple of nights on HMS Invincible in the 90s. A much smaller carrier by comparison but still an awesome sight to me at the time. Was also lucky enough to be shown around one of the trident submarines.

By strange coincidence one of the guys I was at school with shared some things he’d kept from school days a few weeks ago, which I’ve just had the chance to flick through and I found this!

[SBYM]

Well?

Don’t leave us hanging!!! How was their honeymoon???

[Kopstar]

No idea!
What a treasure trove this guy sent around our WhatsApp group! Might have to go to the non breaking news thread!

[SBYM]

What a tease!

Alex Salmond accuses Nicola Sturgeon of misleading parliament

Politicians being misleading

[Barnestormer]

I find it bizarre, without making an assumption, that Salmond was acquitted of what(?) 11 counts of historic abuse. Very strange indeed. That either there was a blanket acquittal or rather 11 counts were simultaneously fabricated. Unheard of.

[redfanman]

Was some of it because of the time that had passed?

[Barnestormer]

I’ve not read the judgment; there were certainly a multitude of counts brought against him. Elapse of time is usually a reason to not charge.

[Noo_Noo]

CAS was involved again?

[SBYM]

Did lol when I saw the Nigel Farage has said, ‘China…you’re next!!!’

Rideo Nige…I am sure you and your 12 mates will have no trouble tackling the world’s most populous nation and what will soon be the world’s biggest economy…

APOLOGIES FOR MAKING YOU LOOK AT ONE OF THE UK’S TOP 5 MOST PUNCHABLE FACES

Nigel Farage (Nigel_Farage)

[Iftikhar]

At normal times, guys like Farage will not even be elected to a local council. Dire times, indeed.

[redfanman]

He was repeatedly elected to the European Parliament. His parties, and fore runners such as the BNP have frequently won seats in local elections during ‘normal times’.

[Derecho]

Didn’t he win the Mr Universe one year?

Or was it a lookalike competition he won

[Iftikhar]

My apologies. Looks like times were dire for some times now.

[cynicaloldgit]

@redfanman

He was repeatedly elected

Well, to many people (not me, I hasten to add) he does look like “the sort of bloke you could go out for a pint with.”

What could possibly go wrong?

[Noo_Noo]

Has that tosser done his turn around on Trump yet? Rat and sinking ship.

Pisses me off that people can’t see what that orange fuckwit and this plastic turd really are
