Patels went full nazi, Raab hasn’t the brain power to understand the English language, Goves on the gear, Coffee is singing ‘I had the time of my life’ on kareoke, as she plunged 270,000 children into poverty, Javids social care reform is do it yourself at home, while selling off the NHS, Malthouse can’t see his fat f*ck boss from 2 yards away & Johnson hasn’t had his go yet.

Where’s Partrick Magee when you need him?

But it’ll all be okay because they are goading the French into retaliation so that they can blame it all on them.

I’ve watched this happening for days and lo an behold the front page of The Mail today.

It’s also the EU’s fault because they’ve forced us into a low wage low skilled economy for years.

Good luck Boris getting these wasters to take a job, never mind learn a skill.

Apparently they have had 27 applications for their short term visa to drive a lorry.
Mostly from India.

Have you seen how they drive in India?

I’m away for a lie down.

Yes but have you seen how bad the SNP are running the Scottish government?

Makes you glad to be British it does.

Yep, what a 100% ****eshow. Although they ARE the government, merely deciding how to allocate and spend money, running the departments within it. There is almost zero talent in that cabinet. Kevin Stewart as Minister for Mental Wellbeing and Social Care, for fuuck’s sake? Somerville lost with the Education brief (ask any committed EIS member)? Keith Brown for whom I had high hopes now a shouty Blackford clone.

Nope. The divisiveness of nationality, however it is expressed is waaaaay down the list of how I identify. The chauvinism and exceptionalism spawned by ‘national pride’ play into the right wing’s blood-tainted centuries-old divide and rule mitts. As Jo Cox once said, “There’s more that unites us than divides us”, but we’re led by the fuucking nose time and again by a gleeful establishment (including the Scottish and UK political establishments) to squabble and fecht among ourselves when effort and energy could be far more positively harnessed and deployed. That endangers those addicted to wealth and power though, and they’re closer to home than you think.

I trust I can rely on your spoiled paper?

That "shyteshow" as you put it can be voted out by those residing in Scotland. Can we get rid of a Tory government foisted upon us?
Will our opinion on the EU be taken into acoount?

How many other countries do you know that are "run" (don't laugh) by another country's government "with our best intentions"?

It's nothing to do with how you identify, it's having a valid vote.

[InversneckieDob]

Yep.
There isn't a political entity that I would trust to nip to Morrisons to purchase a pint of milk on my behalf.
But there's not a cat in hell's chance that Westminster don't elect these monstrosities over and over, if not them specifically then an ideological wolf of similar morality wearing a pretendy sheep suit.
If our wee five and a half million can get self determination then I'm convinced a political entity would evolve for whom I would eschew the c0ck and balls option.
I may, of course, be wrong but I do not forsee things getting any worse than the now de facto norm in my scenario.

I’ve spent the last decade working alongside the English working class, from up & down the country. Based on my experience, I have next to nothing in common with them. A few notable exceptions but for the most part, they hold views that would make a hun blush. England needs to sort its own sh1t out

According to the mainstream media, Big Pharma are going to poison millions of kids to prevent them dying from malaria. When will this madness end? Kids should be free to choose to die from malaria.
None of this happened before wee nippy got a haircut

Everyone should get the malaria vaccine just to stop someone whose had the malaria vaccine from catching malaria !

[donsdaft]

God, I hope the news doesn't reach the Evening Express or folk will start* biding in again.



* I know some folk won't need to start as such, given that they are still biding in from last March.

Malaria isn’t transferable with human to human contact

[donsdaft]

That's got little to do with it.

You can't catch covid from touching things but that hasn't stopped the mass panic.
Wearing a mask doesn't protect you but try telling that to the fearties walking down the street wearing a mask.
