What he and his wife do in the privacy of the boudoir is a matter for their own better judgement.

I reckon with a declared 46 voices of discontent (not letters in btw) the bar will have been reached but Brady will leave it till Monday because of recess and the Jubileebollox before announcing. Giving BawJaws 4 or 5 days to offer jobs and peerages to the rebels and talk them out of it.

Some set of chompers on Brady. Looks like a sleep paralysis demon.

An alarming number of children of the generation who lived through WWII genuinely do seem to think like that.

It's weird enough to be jealous of the unemployed, the disabled, and people fleeing their homelands, but to envy what their parents' generation went through is just bizarre.

It's not weird. Once those who lived through it and can offer a cautionary tale or two are gone, we are left with rose tinted interpretations and heavily politicised, sepf serving slants on what it all meant.

Rather than.... You know, fiery death raining from the skies, which has been deleted from the narrative, along with every young adult you know being shovelled into the firing line.

Surely most of them would be dismayed by this weirdness. I know most of the folk I knew of my grandparents' generation would've thought this faux-nostalgia was embarrassing. The poppy fascism wouldn't have gone down at all well either.

Yeah but that's the point, there are so few left now that their voices as the authority on the subject are drowned.

Back to Dulce Decorum Est.... we go, until somecunt gives us a reminder that war is actually really shit.

Stuck for good ideas JRM has appealed to the public erm.....Daily Express readers on what should be the next changes that the Governement should make. There were 2000 ideas. The most popular idea was emergency fracking (obviously not on Conservative ran constituencies, NIMBYs and all that) but the most workable idea and would hit all the Boomer nostalgia bells would be to doing away with the EU regulations that restrict vacuum cleaner power to 1400w.

Now this one I'm for, more power. need more power. Today's vacuum clears are piss poor weak like electric lawnmowers. If you are a man who demands more out of life, you need something powerful like a jet engine or a black hole for a vacuum cleaner, because reasons.

However despite that I think the whole list is a lie and Jacob Rees-Mogg made it all up himself and Daily Express readers are gullible fools,  what do you think?

Nine of the top ideas named from the department are:

1. Encourage fracking, shortcut rules on planning consultation via emergency act.
2. Abolish the EU regulations that restrict vacuum cleaner power to 1400 watts.
3. Remove precautionary principle restrictions (for instance) on early use of experimental treatments for seriously ill patients and GM crops.
4. Abolish rules around the size of vans that need an operator's licence.
5. Abolish EU limits on electrical power levels of electrically assisted pedal cycles.
6. Allow certain medical professionals, such as pharmacists and paramedics, to qualify in three years.
7. Remove requirements for agency workers to have all the attributes of a permanent employee.
8. Simplify the calculation of holiday pay (eg 12.07 percent of pay) to make it easier for businesses to operate.
9. Reduce requirements for businesses to conduct fixed wire testing and portable application testing.

 

 

 

Yip total jackonary stuff..chuck in the bit about Hoover's to make it look like some housewives chipped in with some ideas and not make it look like business owners could screw over employees

Big disappointment to see the guy who used to write 'Readers Letters' for Razzle turning his talents for fiction to evil.

Piss poor stuff.  Where’s the:

Arm police officers with Uzis (those who patrol ‘bad’ areas only).

Limit the number of black/brown/yellow people who can live in ‘nice’ areas.  People of said colour might be excused based on their political allegiances.

People with second homes should get two votes in every election.

Ban all trade unions with immediate effect and repeal minimum wage legislation.

That would be a start then we can move on to some slightly controversial stuff.

There's a fair few wee brown folk been having that "lived experience" for a few decades now. Understandably ignored by the GBP, but now there's some folk "like us" having their country destroyed, you'd think we(as a Nation) would be paying attention..

Aye, fucking H&S gone mad, innit? Until the first factory burns down, or the first office worker gets fried by the office microwave.

Ah, but they’re not really, are they? I mean, I bet if you put them on a good British train, they’d speak foreign.

It is occasionally mentioned but far too little attention is being paid to the disgraceful level of unemployment among 5 to 12 year olds, due to the ridiculous health and safety restrictions on them working in mines, up chimneys and crawling around under looms.  When, oh when, oh when will the government DO SOMETHING about it!?
