O'Kelly Isley III Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 It's a damned shame this, I had hoped that Megan would visit and pose for photos beside this road sign in our Bellsmyre housing scheme 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Obviously I'm actively up for a Robespierrean solution to our constitutional issues but the people greeting that the BBC aren't acting impartially are dumber than the loyal subjects mainlining Gammon propaganda. The Royals are the state. The BBC is the state. It's not difficult to understand. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BBC does pretend to be impartial, and that's a useful lever that can sometimes be used to coerce them into doing the right thing, now and again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leith Green Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Just been in Glasgow and discovered that the Queen is doing 2 nights at the Hydro. Good to see her remembering her loyal Scottish subjects. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the powers of the state and "he's got covid" is the best they can come up with. I think there's too much Jubilee partying going on at MI6. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wouldn't be anything I believe. The security services don't kill nonces - they blackmail them and keep them around. If you have a dirty skeleton or three in your closet and lots of famous and important people in your address book, you're an asset -exactly the sort of person that MI5/MI6 can make use of. This is just a lame, pedestrian excuse thought up by the Royal Household to keep Andy from embarrassing everyone with his presence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 You don’t even need to self insulate with a positive Covid test anymore so it’s clearly just a paper thin excuse for him not rear his nonce face and ruin the party for everyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Tried to start a new thread but don’t know how to do polls. Is Andy missing the jubilee events because: a) he’s caught Covid b) he’s a sweaty, embarrassing paedo and the Covid thing is a convenient excuse? Anyone who can do polls could oblige. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
