Sooky Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 That was a brilliant speech by Ken Clarke who, as a genuinely good Parliamentarian, will be sorely missed.Points out the lunacy of people like JRM claiming he’s defying 17.4m people despite the fact he voted to leave the EU on three occasions, despite being a lifelong Europhile, voted against holding a referendum, and voted against triggering Article 50. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a w**k who enabled Thatcher and was Chancellor under Major when his government were hammering single parents. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"time's winged chariot is speeding away" However, I think he rather misquoted Andrew Marvell and his "To his coy mistress" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 From 1993 https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/how-to-end-the-welfare-state-through-media-manipulation-ministers-prepared-voters-for-what-was-once-1465551.html Quote While occasionally sipping the Chancellor's traditional glass of whisky, Kenneth Clarke had announced the deepest cuts in the social security benefits budget for some of the neediest groups; the people the welfare state was created to protect and who arouse public sympathy. The pension age for women was to be raised from 60 to 65 starting in 2010; some 70,000 people a year who now qualify as physically or mentally disabled would lose invalidity benefit, and it would be taxed for new claimants; 90,000 unemployed people a year would lose all benefit, except their National Insurance contribution, after six months instead of a year - until their savings were spent. f**k Ken Clarke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Pretty sure that was Bercow with the massive sigh - was it aimed at Boles who had just finished or at the fact it was Adam Werrity's mate up next? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
