It is worth £291bn less than the free trade we did with the EU, but we will get cheap Shiraz, Tim Tams and fucking Vegemite, all with just 11,000 air miles on it. Thank you, Prime Ministers Johnson and Morrison. A well-known chain supermarket is selling a well-know Australian Shiraz at £6.00 a bottle; bearing in mind that approx. £2.50 of that is tax and duty, thats £3.50 for the actual wine; how much cheaper could it be - the producer, shipper and retailer are all (presumably) making a profit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 14,388 Posted June 18, 2020 Someone’s taken the time to give several cabinet ministers a sex change. Dominique Raab, Peter Patel and Gina Williamson are actually quite fit. Beatrice Johnson is Vicky Pollard. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,137 Posted June 18, 2020 It was "bend the knee" in Game Of Thrones. It meant submitting to a conqueror. I've no idea who came up with "take the knee". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's been around for about 60 years in the US (as a sort of "remember the fallen" gesture iirc it was big in the US military) so I've no idea either. I knew it wasn't George RR Martin however. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 14,388 Posted June 18, 2020 Colin Kaepernick took the knee before a game of American football a few years back as a silent protest to the extrajudicial murder of unarmed black Americans. He was punished for doing so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was punished for doing so. Punished? So were these three. It was a given that Smith and Carlos would be ostracised but Peter Norman was treated appallingly too. Such was the respect they had for Norman, Smith and Carlos were his Pallbearers at his funeral. Getting on one knee in front of an invisible 'Masser' does fuck all to demonstrate a will and determination to see much needed change. Raab may well be a cunt but his words were not misplaced, just uncomfortable truths. The image, the sheer power and meaning of that image will live long after the pictures of a few thousand on one knee in Londinium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 14,388 Posted June 19, 2020 For the first time since 1963, UK debt is over 100% of GDP. This was always going to hurt a bit, but that’s a pretty grim figure nonetheless. But we’ll be okay, we’re Brexiting soon. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miracle Aligner 249 Posted June 19, 2020 The current deadline for shielding is the 11 days away. To preface a comment about advise coming out 'in the coming weeks' which could take us to July and past the deadline with a comment about how important you understand that advise to be because you have family who are shielding is beyond crass. I wonder what your family really think of this inaction? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 14,388 Posted June 25, 2020 Shadow Education Secretary Rebecca Wrong-Daily has been sacked by Keir Starmer for sharing a post on social media containing anti-semitic conspiracy theory. Good to see Starmer's simply fucking them off at the drop of a hat rather than letting them toxify the party like Corbyn did. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thing is, whether you like it or not, and you clearly do not, it is way better to have such opinions aired than keep them hidden. If you believe in censoring discussion and/or opinion because it does not go the way that you think it should then that is your prerogative. We have discussed a whole myriad of things here over the years, some of it has been less than tasteful but it we have been grown ups about it. If you think that this should not have been posted on here, let alone debated, then, perhaps, it is you who is in the wrong place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
