Brad252 726 Posted Wednesday at 13:05 13 minutes ago, DCI Frank Burnside said: It wasn't funny says Liz. Wrong as always Liz it was quite funny. Someone should say to her in response "you know what wasn't funny, crashing the economy including everybody's pensions and not only showing no remorse at the damage, but doubling down on it apparently being a good idea. Maybe we'll stop laughing at you when you acknowledge your sins and apologise for them." 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has to be said, she isn't exactly packing out the O2 with an all action AV spectacular event. Also, the titters in the audience and somewhat mixed reaction in the news report suggests some of the crowd she pulled were curiousity seekers rathet than genuine fans of her political message.

RoverAndOut 4,592 Posted Wednesday at 21:19 5 hours ago, DCI Frank Burnside said: "Supress Free Speech" Fucking hell It didn't make a noise, it had no impact on her ability to continue making her point. It was a peaceful and silent protest. It only suppressed her free speech because she CHOSE of her own FREE will to walk off stage, in the way she does every time anything unpredictable or uncontrollable happens to her. It's like her defence mechanism, like when a hedgehog curls up in a ball. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 4,592 Posted yesterday at 11:58 Another nifty little bit of analysis from the i today. In the time the Tories were in power (2010-2024), 110 sitting MPs were given knighthoods or damehoods. By comparison, the 13 years of Labour government previously (1997-2010) saw a grand total of...11 MPs given such honours. Of those 110, the breakdown was as follows: 77 Tories (including SIR Gavin Williamson and DAME Andrea Jenkyns ) 27 Labour 5 Lib Dems 1 DUP (SIR Jeffrey Donaldson, currently facing trial for historical sex abuse charges ) The Tories are accused of giving out knighthoods "like they were lollipops". Colour me shocked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
