No it isn't. That's why they're republics and didn't keep their kings and queens. I think the Queen is playing a blinder and once she goes the monarchy will be on borrowed time. But I don't think a President is better. Similar power but with the argument of being chosen and then they use the...

So given supply and demand the number of people that try to get elected as MP's/councillors, not just in the actual ballots but in just getting the nomination suggests it's not that bad a gig doesn't it?

Those business people would be focused solely on the money aspect. Couldn't give a fuck about the people. Point of government is to serve the public, not make money. So being a top business person does not necessarily make you good at running a country. If anything if you're choosing it for the...

Whereas you could pay a fortune and get big hitters like Dido Harding.

If they had all that and it swapped to Labour you'd be the first one harping on about 'do as I say not as I do" and "why doesn't this leftie follow his principles and do the same as the common man and pay for his own stuff and cook it himself".

Posh bloke earning roughly 6 times the average UK worker should get free food mde for him. Single parent families struggling to get by on minimum wage should get fuck all. You really are a cap doffer aren't you. I bet you're envious of Cameron's pig at the Bullingdon club.

This is the guy in essence in charge of the economy. He's got no financial sense at all. If you had a working class person struggling to pay the bills and getting takeaway every night and redecorating they be considered totally irresponsible and financially illiterate and should cut their...

Why on earth did Grendel laugh at that. I'm getting genuinely worried about his mental state.

What the fuck are you talking about now? You mentioned how Thatcher and Major weren't from posh backgrounds so why are they for giving money to the wealthy and big business. Point being she was a believer in stuff like trickle down economics and that the wealthy etc were more to be trusted. Or...

Continental structure is becoming more commonplace here, where the 'manager' is more like a coach and the transfers are decided at boardroom level/Director of Football and the guy in charge of actually putting the team on the field just gets told they're signing such-and-such whether he likes it...

One of the few reasons I'd have voted for Brexit and it wasn't part of it! We pay loads towards it and Europe gives us nothing in return.

I think we'd probably only get £500k total between them as they only likely get interest from L1. Prob one agree a significant sell-on for just in case. But I agree they should both command some sort of fee nd would free up positions in the squad to upgrade. Plus they'd play more. It probably...

It's £££. They make loads of money from sponsorship/TV deals etc so someone is wondering why they restrict that income to only every four years. Only as wingy points out none of them have the nous to think that doing it more often will result in less interest and thus diminishing returns.

Because if they weren't they wouldn't have joined the Tories. Plus I think their records speak for themselves, Thatcher's esp. Gove is another from 'low stock' but clearly believes that was 'beneath him' and he's better than the average person. When in reality he's just another power-hungry...

Just feed them from one of the many successful foodbanks this government has managed to bless us with :)

I don't disagree with that particularly, but to suggest the Tories are the party of the working man instead is a laughable suggestion. They may make out they're for the common man but in reality they're for the wealthy and big business and if there's a small knock on that can be sold as good for...

Or forgets where he is and ironically for the first time ever actually catches it!

Someone to teach the strikers where the net is?
