The Political Thread

[Frank]

Hours of painstaking research reveal three of the other five candidates are judges on Irish telly's version of Dragon's Den^*. You need to find something for these vacuums to do when their five minutes are up.

If they were making tits of themselves on Strictly or pretending to be a cat on Celebrity Big Brother, you wouldn't have to listen to them protest that what they said is nothing like Hitler at all (and anyone who says different is a Jew).

And that the ridiculous blasphemy law is gone - three good referendum results in a row. Eat our dust, Vatican.

And Britain. We've managed two nationwide fuck-ups in a row now. Go us.

[JayzusB.Christ]

I'll assume the other one was keeping the Tories in?  As for Brexit, you're just not believing enough.

[IndigoPrime]

The other one was AV. A referendum no-one wanted and that the Tories campaigned against, but have nonetheless used the defeat of as a stick to beat anyone demanding electoral reform.

[JayzusB.Christ]

Lovely. If it's broke, don't fix it.

[Professor Bear]

Don't forget the Scotch Indy ref, which was a right stitch-up thanks to the media landscape at the time.

Guillotines are a better equaliser than PR anyway.

[JayzusB.Christ]

'Don't leave us!  We don't want to be the only ones driving our slogan-sided bus off the pier!' 

I wonder how the Scotch would vote if another indy ref were on the cards.

[Greg M.]

I wonder how the Scotch would vote if another indy ref were on the cards.

Exactly the same way as last time, sadly.

I know you got those shares cheap off a bloke in Marseille,  but you really need to diversify your portfolio.

[Funt Solo]

Scottish, not Scotch.

Did you learn nothing from Zenith's manager?

I also have shares in Lockheed Martin, so I'm good whatever happens.

Jim no doubt disagrees, and thast upsets me more than it should, but he's probly right. I'm a twat, more or less. Cos I don't believe everything I'm told. Ha ha ha.

I would like to say "f*ckv government, rule yourselves" but I probly shouldn't.

BoLlocks to it. Do what you want, just don't hurt anyone.

Shit, where's the fucking bucket?

What's a Fucking Bucket? I want one.

[TordelBack]

Whisky freely given is the very highest of character references.  Hope you found that bucket,  lad!

[The Legendary Shark]

Thanks, Tordels. It's always a surprise to me when our volunteers do something like this and I never feel like I deserve it. Didn't need the bucket in the end, thank Heaven.

My humblest apologies for last night's alcopost.
