  1. The most perplexing thing of all was that, when the Dear Leader called for release of the sausages, he was cheered and applauded.

  2. “This Was A Very Nasty Man” but, we are told, definitely, definitely, not a terrorist. Really, truly, honestly, not a terrorist.

  3. It really doesn't matter whether the Budget is delivered by a Woman, a Man, or a well-trained Chimpanzee. It is what is in it that matters, surely?

  4. The real sadness is that there was nothing surprising about the tone of the programme. As soon as it was announced, it was totally predictable.

  5.  @brianconnelly-s5e  Farage has no power, but, like the rest of us, has the right, at least for now, to express his opinions. The Dear Leader is Prime Minister. He needs to learn, and quickly, that, unlike when he was Leader of the Opposition, his behaviour now matters, and that his words, and actions, have consequences.

  6. Grossly unfair! The Metropolitan Police have been making themselves look absurd for some time. It is hardly a recent development.

  7.  @kevingrant7098  So, because pensioners may, or may not, have voted Tory, or for Brexit, they deserve to be punished? I wish I had your democratic standards. Would you recommend Euthanasia?

  8. I thought 'The Bench' was excellent. I bought a copy for 25p at my local charity shop. and it was perfect. My dining table leg no longer wobbles.

  9. Someone needs to explain to the Noble Lord that taking a patronising, 'I'm smarter than you' attitude in response to a question is not likely to win much support. Perhaps he has been around too many of his own kind for too long? Back to the comfortable House of Peers, with your £300+ a day attendance money, heavily subsidised meals, and warm comfy benches upon which to sleep, Lord Alex.

  10.  @YourDad-dp1xe  'anyone with religious values who wants to follow them can live in this country.' Indeed, but that does not mean that they should seek to impose their values to the exclusion of everyone else's.
    47
  11. Perhaps the Butcher of Tripoli was only offered the job because around 290 'Conservative' MPs turned it down first?
    45
  12. This is unprecedented! James Whale is actually interviewing a Polytechnic lecturer from the 1970s or 1980s. Who says that Time Travel is an impossiblity?
    44
  13. Perhaps the Dear Leader wants Chinese troops to help him maintain some level of control over the British peasantry?
    43
  14. My wife's response to Vennells' tears rather surprised me. She said 'How typical! She wanted the power, the glory, and the money, but when challenged about her misdeeds, she promply resorted to the ' I'm just a vulnerable little girly, being bullied by all these rude men', in order to deflect criticism. Needless to say, I immediately put her right by ordering her into the kitchen to make me a cup of tea!

  15. Put simply, can anyone explain why the 'leaders' of the EU, and our own Dear Leader, are so eager to keep the war in Ukraine going for as long as possible?
    40
  16. I think it is more a case of trying to protect their core vote of the public sector, and keeping the bosses of the big unions on side. The others, such as farmers, the elderly, and those from the private sector, are of no interest, and can therefore be considered expendable. After all, in the world of Rachel from Accounts, a dead pensioner is both one less pension to pay, and, potentially, one less non labour vote.

  17. Make them King & Queen of Rockall. Drop them off and leave them there.
    38
  18. Or, as the Noble Lord probably wanted to say, 'I'm really clever, I am!'
    38
  19. That should fund an awful lot of unused cycle lanes and vast numbers of Transgender events.
    35
  20. Because they are MPs, who don't expect to pay for anything.
    34
  21. Perhaps the Legal Aid bonanza is drying up, and the lad is looking for another source of equally easy money?
    33
  22. I agree. I personally don't much like Robinson, but it seems he was arrested simply for not holding left of centre opinions. This is the beginning of a steep and dangerous slope.
    32
  23. Unfair, Mainwaring was at least patriotic. Unlike the Dear Leader, who openly dislikes almost everything British.
    32
  24. Would it be wrong to suggest that government policy is generously to distribute largesse all over the world, whilst at the same time withholding funding from the British people?
    31
  25. As best I could tell, some of the agents were far more concerned about their dark glasses.
    30
  26. How can you be confident which way, when trained & equipped, they will point their guns?
    29
  27. I believe the names are The Black Prince and Richard III.
    29
  28. I wonder when Sunak's Green Card expires? I am sure he wouldn't want to miss out on the opportunity.
    28
  29.  @Craig121000  Actually, isn't he simply making a statement?
    27
  30. I recall watching Oprah's faux 'shock' at the time, and thinking that she could surely have afforded a better acting coach.
    27
  31. That is the beauty of the 'Hate Crime' concept. It can mean whatever those in authority decide that they want it to mean.
    27
  32. Even more worrying. Perhaps he knows precisely what he is doing?
    27
  33. Many of the teachers I have dealt with are absolutely sure that they know everything about everything.
    27
  34. I think it is a standard letter. Our local MP did much the same.
    26
  35. When you surround yourself with sycophants, after a while you begin to believe them.
    24
  36.  @Clockwise26  Actually, I can. However there wasn't one in this video, although I did observe an arrogant, bigoted, one, who alienates almost everyone who hears her spout her bile.

  37. They are probably the last few hundred Labour supporters in Scotland. When support for the corrupt & utterly incompetent SNP in Scotland has actually risen by 4% since August, whilst that for Labour has fallen by 8%, it tells you why the Dear Leader is beginning to panic. Tories, by the way, up 2%, LibDems up 1%, Reform up 3% and Greens down 1%.
    24
  38. I suspect that they dare because they can, and assume, probably correctly, that the police will protect them.
    23
  39. But no doubt quite a number were ex-military, and therefore of no interest to Sunak, nor to Starmer.
    23
  40. The pensioners, and now the farmers, are being punished because the Dear Leader & Rachel from Accounts are only interested in cosseting what they perceive to be their core vote, the public sector.
    23
  41. I suspect that you are giving the Dear Leader far more prominence than he deserves. I doubt that Trump thinks, or cares, much about him at all.
    23
  42. The response of the two stooges seemed to be 'We are senior Civil Servants. We aren't expected to know anything.' The way that they turned and looked blankly at each other when asked the question was most illuminating, however. Doubtless, Life Peerages await for both.
    23
  43. The BBC text service yesterday evening (Monday) presented the Carnival as a wonderful display of Caribbean culture. No mention of any unrest or of violence at all. Surely the impartial BBC would not possible be less than entirely honest in their reporting, would they?
    23
  44.  @FrontSideBus  But as the Dear Leader doubtless reminded his Cabinet colleagues : but' some of us are more equal than others.'
    22
  45. 'From mid-February to April 2025 Serena will be seconded to the College of Policing as Cohort Director for the Executive Leadership Programme.' Onward & upward, it seems.
    22
  46.  @madamebrunhilda5105  You should look at the issue from Harry Markle's point of view :- ' I really don't understand my family. It doesn't matter how much I insult them, or lie about them, they still refuse to apologise.'
    22
  47.  @PiE-zx  Which isn't quite the same thing. Moreover, didn't the Dear Leader support the idea when in opposition?
    22
  48. Unless the new, invented, job is even better paid, and a stepping-stone on the path to a peerage for 'services rendered.' perhaps?
    21
  49. £1 billion? That should buy a lot of Camper Vans.
    21
  50. Isn't the problem that Starmer hasn't yet realised that he is no longer Leader of the opposition, where he could say more or less what he wanted and no one would much care, but is now Prime Minister, and that his words have consequences. Labelling the bulk of the British population into the category of 'far right thugs' is likely to exacerbate the current situation, especially when he has also promised special levels of protection for Mosques. In short, in the first crisis of his Premiership, he is failing badly. There are, without doubt, a number of unpleasant far-right thugs in the country, but all Starmer has done is give them a spurious credibility, by refusing to listen to the concerns of many ordinary British people. Hopefully, there are some wiser politicians in the labour camp, who will be able to make him aware of what he has done.
