Popular Post Davkaus Posted June 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2022 It's the receptionist I feel sorry for. "Will you be checking in today, sir?", "I think it's too soon to comment on suggestions that I might be checking in to this hotel, we've got people looking into this, and it'd be improper for me to discuss it at this time" "Right...Well, do you have a reservation?", "Well, I'll tell you who didn't have a reservation, miss, the last Labour government!". "I see...How many nights might you be staying with us?", "Here you go again. People are fed up of hearing about this, and just think it's time we move on, level up, and get on with the job!" "Well, I am trying to, Mr Johnson...." 3 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Must be a bit of a conundrum for the Murdoch press at the moment. Should they throw their support behind a man who could quite possibly lead the party to defeat at the next election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ml1dch Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I guess if you've hollowed your party out and the only people left are a bunch of sex offenders and half-wits, then someone capable of putting on a tie successfully has a chance of rising to the top Not sure which of his many fake names he'd stand under though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blandy Posted June 28, 2022 Author Moderator Share Posted June 28, 2022 17 minutes ago, StanBalaban said: Erm...erm...erm... Deflect! I mean this is an intriguing reply from her really. It's the case (rightly or wrongly) that successive UK Gov'ts have made the judgement that, in their view, the national benefits of trading with KSA outweigh the negative aspects of their state. But they won't say just that, not even to fellow parliamentarians. And because they don't make the case for their decisions, it gets constantly undermined. For example, a more honest response might be that "yes, there are aspects of Saudi society and conduct and rulership with which the UK completely and fundamentally rejects. Their values are not the same as ours. However we have made the judgement that the benefits to the UK of being able to buy Saudi energy, and to trade with them and to benefit from their intelligence services information, while at the same time encouraging and urging them to modernise their culture to more democratic, less oppressive ways is something that we should do to the betterment of the UK and its people." There are plenty who would reach a different judgement, but at least that, in essence is the truth of it, whereas, as you say, "but the Russians" is just deflection, and failing to take responsibility for very significant choices that decades worth of Government have all made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this would be a brave response that at least opens some discussion and earns a bit of respect. Instead, she pauses, smirks, and lies. She's absolutely **** detestable. The look on her face at about 52 seconds "ha, he's bringing that murdered **** journalist up again. What a funny game of cat and mouse we're playing" One on my personal "pop the champagne when they die" list. It's getting quite uneconomical though.

Seat68 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 First they came for Bray's Boombox and I said nothing as I saw him as a self publicising bellend. Then they came for @bicksters bag pipe player, and I said nothing as I did not live near the bag pipe player. Then they came for @rjw63former neighbors and I said nothing as I found it moderately funny and he had moved, so there was that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
