  1. This is disappointing. Whatever you might think of Labour you would at least expect them to abandon the attacks on "others". Anybody who has a grievance against "benefit cheats" is not going to vote for a party that is left wing, supposedly left wing or even historically left wing. I suspect they will go for full on fascist if they could. Also, will any of these "benefit cheats" be buying shares in Dyson Industtries in Singapore or will they use their ill gotten gains paying for stuff that becomes somebody else's income.? Just curious.
  2. You forgot to mention that they also own most of the seabed around the UK about 200 miles out to sea. Also that any flotsam, jetsam or debris that should wash ashore belongs to them unless anyone else can make a claim.
  3. You may say that but I went along to the annual conference of the Monster Raving Loony Party. Didn't have anything better to do. I thought they were just a bunch of attention seekers but it turns out they have some very sensible ideas on how to improve life on this planet and other planets too and without any fascism. Win-Win in my book.
  4. Croatia became independent when Yugoslavia abandoned the idea of being one country and they all went their separate ways. Similarly the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia.
  5. He could also have said "This is a once in a generation opportunity. Who knows when we will get this chance again" and it would simply be seen as a sales pitch that could be used for any referendum or by any salesperson trying to sell you anything.
  6. Why does it need to be both parliaments. FPTP make the WM elections almost lucky dip and people might vote in a UK election for other reasons. By contrast a majority in the Scottish elections where a fairer system means the majority is a real one should be the sole criteria.
  7. Presumably that extra £350,000,000 a week should get this sorted out quickly. Not sure why it hasn't already.
  8. With 750,000 bunkers, Albania is probably the safest country in the world.
  9. Death Race 2000 came out in 1975. All other references to 2000 are actually paying homage to that film.
  10. The Fugitive. Meant to play homage to the TV series that lasted 4 years but neither the director nor the two main stars even knew about the TV show. The TV show included Doctor David Kimble being chased by Gérard where the real villain was a one armed man. Most of the scenes with Gérard and his colleagues were unscripted. Similarly the scene where Harrison Ford wandered into a St Patrick's Day Parade was unscripted and they kept filming until people recognised who he was.
  11. Once the Tories had been tossed in the skip, you would hope that things would improve. However it seems that every time you use that word "hope" it leads to a slap down. That is what I find most depressing.
  12. Been through it on a sleeper from Washington to Chicago. I say sleeper in jest. The train driver was blowing the horn every twenty seconds because of all the unguarded level crossings.
  13. He struggles to do happy endings. If he had written the Wizard of Oz then Dorothy would have returned to Kansas and be killed in a high school massacre the next day.
  14. Change your identity, grow a beard and moustache, change your name and appearance but the simple fact is - you won't change your birthday. How to get them every single time.
  15. Laurence Fox is a good actor but a rotten real person.
  16. "Elon. I bet you I can say any old shit and these morons will still vote for me." "Usual amount?" "$1" "Didn't we do this eight years ago?" "Yeah but this is best of three." "You're on."
  17. "Yeah I live in Crapsville, Indiana. I have a crappy job, a crappy house in a crappy neighbourhood. I never get a vacation. I can't barely afford to eat. I think I'll vote for that Billionaire Manhattan property tycoon because I am sure he really knows what I am going through."
  18. Trump defends the rights of freedom loving Americans to eat their pets if they want to. He just doesn't think immigrants should be allowed to do so.
  19. Somebody went to a baseball game and was offered a hot dog for the first time in their life. They asked what was in it and told "don't ask."
