I probably would still be posting on here if I was an MP tbh. I think P&B should club together and get one of its posters elected to parliament. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the account of being utterly broke and needing a gravy train to fund my fooball, gambling and drinking habits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you don't abuse your position and power to try and make Ayr United relevant, then you're in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not as broke as Westminster and clearly are not going to spend the salary on daft stuff. You might think about changing your avatar, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case I introduce a "change BawWatchin's avatar" tax. 5% of all disposable income will go towards the implimentation of a new avatar.

alta-pete Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 This may have legs. A la Peterheid with the singing bint. Based on my view of the PnB demographic (not an absolute science I admit) I reckon candidates need to be fielded in Paisley, Falkirk and Dundee. Imagine that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't have peoples tax money vanishing into thin air. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) Has to be someone who's all over a local issue and no particular political axe to grind. Get them in as Independent Councillor and build up their profile. P+B vote on which party they should infiltrate for progression to MEP, MSP or MP. It will be a long term project and might need Mumsnet support, but I'd say we could get absolute power before zero net carbon emissions.

Pie and Bovril should form a political party and aim to get elected in every constituency. Our manifesto would make excellent reading. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reside in Renfrewshire north and my MP is Newlands, he’s an arsehole who likes rugby and criticising doctors in Childrens hospitals but hes the only pro-indy candidate. Id be willing to stand on a P&B ticket in future if it got that tosser voted out. Id stand on the principle of pedestrianising the Phoenix Retail park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to be presented as the exercise opportunities for the Linwood/Feegie junkies/obese (delete as your own personal prejudice prefers) having to walk across the barren acres of wasteland to do their shoplifting at Asdas before stopping off at Burger King on the way home for a replenishment of their hard burned calories. I like your thinking ICR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
