My mon was Irish Dubbs and I'm perfectly aware of the 'Butcher's Apron' and it's legacy. But don't even pretend to tell me the global geopolitical system started with the 'Mother of all Parliaments' while conveniently overlooking world history prior to parliament's inception. Politics and corruption run through the ages and come in all shapes and sizes. And you know it. Give yourself a break and smell the flowers.Quote:

Of 180 countries the UK is the 11th least corrupt. FYI Ireland lags behind as the the 20th least corrupt.Quote:

Jeez, that makes me feel a lot better now. Thank you for sharing. What absolute nonsense though.. we’re probably very good at hiding the corruption by hiding money in offshore bank accounts because we elite’s that are wealthy enough to do it - ever considered that?Quote:

As for BJ being Prime Minister you're quite correct. He is Britain's Prime Minister. For now. If you've come to the conclusion that he's 'my' Prime Minister I'd love to know how you arrived at it.
I never discuss who I vote for in local or general elections on here and that's because I can't be @rsed with getting into spats over pratts. Not even my wife knows. And that's because it's none of her bloody business either 😊 😉 .
😀😀 You know, as soon as I posted this I thought sh it someone will pick me up on that! Problem is, I'm doing this on kindle fire and cannot figure out how to edit😞 Will try to do better!!Quote:
