Albert, just look up the mess that Venezuala has become. I do not enable anything, I detest extremism from both sides as it always ends up the same. The people suffer & arseholes like Cummings, Milne, Hancock & Abbott live high on the hog while the rest of us eat "cake". 

Can you explain to me how Diane Abbott is comparable to Hancock or Cummings please, citing any relevant examples where possible?

The first time I read the word “gelding” was in a comic book adaptation of a Clive Barker story when I was about 13. I distinctly remember looking it up in the dictionary in the library and telling some kid sitting next to me what it meant. I don’t remember his name, probably because he avoided me after that,
 

 

If you are interested in further reading about castration I can heartily recommend 'The People's Act Of Love' by James Meek.

Missed this. What was it about and why was it deleted?

It was leaked video of Cummings fisting Johnson in a field of bluebells just outside Durham. Quite artistic really but maybe a bit strong for the mods.

Even if he does go, is anyone under any illusion that it would be anything other than a bit of symbolism to try and get everyone to shut the f**k up about it, and he'll just carry on as normal in the background?

He couldn't return as a special advisor and the perks that comes with. He couldn't attend cabinet or SAGE or private briefings. He could work for the Conservative party at arms length but not much more than that.

Waiting to see if Sir Mark resigns either over the Civil Service tweet or as he is in charge of the spads.

Ayrmad’s definition of interesting points differs from mine.

This is the guy here,sky news just reported it 

 

Hopefully just a rash comment from someone pissed off with the buffoon and his advisor.

It's already being spun as a lack of commitment to his profession/political posturing.  I can see how he'd/anyone would be pissed off with the Government's arrogance but this is too easy to brush off.

I despair when people compare those on the left with those on the right.

Diane abbot is a bit thick, and has probably risen higher than she should in terms of actual ability. But her heart is in the right place most of the time and she's hounded constantly. She's also never really harmed people in any great way.

These fuckers are much more dangerous. Their world view fucks over poor people, and they believe in a certain hierarchy of things. They're willing to use racism or xenophobia to win votes, and to hell with the wider consequences.

Why would it be like Venezuela, because they were going to spend 80 billion?

How many multiples of that have the Tories spent this year? 4? Getting on for 5?

You're a mix of a good poster and a quite embarrassingly stupid one.

Guilty as charged Mixu, I have never disputed that. I have looked into the recent economic travails of Venezuela from both angles & it is an utter basket case even before this crisis. Thankfully this will have little impact on them due to the reduced traffic in & out of the Country. The impact of what is happening on our Country is will be felt for Generations, I know my taxes will be rising & I am ok with that because we all need to help to get us out of the shit, I will not be happy if the Personal Allowance starts to drop because that is penalising the prople who can least afford it. With regards to Venezuela I have been watching that disaster unfold for several years, it is not about the current crisis it is Albania, Cambodia, The USSR et al all over again, just like Germany, Spain, Italy, Trumps USA. I do not like extremists as their Doctrines do not work. I a apolitical in the sense that I don't trust any of them, if that makes me sensible & stupid at the same time then I'm happy with that.

I would be surprised if Sir Mark made it through this
