Boo Khaki Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 (edited) Well I think this answers my original query. Phew, what a relief. I was beginning to think Israel might have been a bit naughty.

BFTD Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I wonder what the Tories (claim to) believe would breach international law. Brown people getting in boats on the English Channel, and that's about it. Everything else is fair game if it suits HM's Government. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would not surprise me if she suggested moving the gaza people to Rwanda. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtgilphead Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 2 hours ago, Sherrif John Bunnell said: This isn't from a parody Twitter account. You've not shown the whole picture in all its gloriousness. From the top: Vintage jet planes, some dating from 1979! A man looking into an unidentified object! Rishi, our unelected, impotent PM! Chuckles the 1/3rd, who is probably pissed off that the Tories are using him in a political advert! An Aston Martin - not a british owned company since Leyland days - currently Canadian owned! (Slightly worryingly, a company called Yew Tree Overseas Investments are involved. I'm sure it's a coincidence) A football team that only represents one region of the UK, and have won f*ck all for 57 years. Excluding WC/Euros when they had home advantage, they've made a grand total of 4 semifinal appearances since the tournaments started! An unidentified big boat. The UK currently has the world's 10th largest merchant fleet! Where exactly does this "second most powerful country" claim come from? Surely some of our resident Yoons can explain? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 If they wanted to show a couple of big, expensive vessels tied up in port, they could have chosen their "world leading" aircraft carriers. Shouldn't be difficult to find an appropriate picture, since they've spent 90% of their service lives either alongside or in dry dock. Also, is that actually one of the "2nd most powerful" nation's F-35's, or is it one of the ones we keep borrowing from the US because we can't afford to buy enough of our own? Disgraceful lack of Jade Goody and a bewinged Diana playing ping-pong with Captain Tom and the angles in heaven, although props to them for coming up with something just as ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Oh dear. That'll be yet another by-election pending, you would have to assume.

That story is hilarious. Somehow it went from innocently messaging someone on Grindr to 'they had something so bad on me I had to give up all these phone numbers'. I think a bit of the story might be missing somehow 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling it a 'trap' or 'spearfishing' is pathetic attempt to try and deflect from utter stupidity.

True. I wouldn't be too astonished if the next newspaper article concerning Wragg is to announce his elevation to the Intelligence & Security Committee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
