He's worth millions, his missus more so. It just makes him look cheap and tight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaffe #5 in less than 30 hours. I seriously think he is the reincarnation of Looney Tunes Marvin the Martian - he can't be human! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt n Vinegar Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 12 hours ago, BFTD said: "I'm sorry, Wales has its own football team? How long for?" Of course, you can be Welsh and Hindu and British, Northern Irish and Jewish and British; you can wear a kilt and a turban; you can wear a hijab covered in poppies. You can support Man Utd, the Windies and Team GB at the same time. Of course, I'd rather you supported West Ham. Edit: She'd be a dangerously woke radical in 2024. Easy mistake to make. He's probably confusing football with cricket, where the England and Wales Cricket Board is called the ECB, the team is called "England" and the badge is that thing they call the three lions. Wales is publicly sidelined in that set-up, so as I said, easy mistake to make. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky88 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) 12 hours ago, Soapy FFC said: Agreed. Given how much they would've spent sending that guy there to make a point, they could easily have made the donation. I refuse to believe that he hasn't made the donation. It just makes absolutely no sense to not do it. Unless he paid that individual to go to Rwanda to avoid the optics of paying out on the bet.

The Tories have spent the last fourteen years ripping off the taxpayer and shovelling cash into the pockets of their wealthy friends, to the point that we're at record levels of taxation and will need to cut public services even further. Despite this, Labour will always, always, always still be the party of profligacy to voters in England. The next Conservative leader will start in on Labour overspending from Day 1, despite the fact that Labour won't increase current levels of spending, and they'll be listened to. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, maybe I’m an optimist. Mind you it’s a win-win for me because I’m happy for anyone to attack Starmer for anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they leave his weight alone.

He should answer the Mail, Express, and Telegraph like a Seventies comic. Replies like "she could certainly have MY boaby, knowharrimean, eh?" would leave them on the side of reporting it straight and making him appealing to their readers, or coming over all woke for castigating him for insensitivity towards minorities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never really noticed that. Is he "a bit round"? Will he be accosted with the old favourite "who ate all the pies?" every time he appears in public? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
