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 power they've been given to stay there. That's how you end up with the likes Of Putin.

Len McCloskey gets £400 grand a year - 10 times the average worker - are you a union flat cap doffer?
Click to expand...

Why bring that up? I've said before on here how much I think the upper echelons of Unions are worse than those in business. They complain about these people of six figure salaries doing desk jobs, when that's exactly what they are. It's hypocritical.

And don't forget the expenses MP's can claim. That can massively increase the remuneration. They get stuff the average worker are banned from claiming expenses for.

Grendel 100% has a little shrine to Boris in his house. Doffs his cap to it every morning and again before bed.

Everyone else can admit faults in their favoured party/leader but he absolutely adores Johnson and literally cannot fault him for anything. The one thing he takes from a story about Johnson having £30k of takeaways, large amounts of it paid for by donors, is: 'it's a disgrace he doesn't have a private gym and sauna'

Poll

If she had shouted her support for Israel, would the policewoman:

a. Have been beaten up on the spot?
b Been sacked
c. Been beaten up and sacked
d. Been told by her superiors, its no problem because its the same as taking the knee, which is fine by us.

Keir Starmer breaks down in tears on Piers Morgan's TV show

Sir Keir, often portrayed by critics as being unemotional and even 'boring', repeatedly broke down in tears during a three-hour interview on Friday for Piers Morgan's hit ITV show Life Stories.

I have close to no idea what you're on about. If I do, it's probably because the missus is having anxiety attacks every few days because she has literally hundreds of essays to mark. Which she has to do because Gavin Williamson decided to let the exam boards off doing their job two years running.

You could come over and tell some knock knock jokes though?

No he can’t to be fair. Sounds like he’s had some difficult times which you wouldn’t want anyone to have... trouble is it will come across as being contrived and scripted.

What would the equivalent shout be for Israel exactly?

Seems like another “I’m angry at a situation I invented in my head” problem.

Hey, if you think a UK state representative's support of a internationally classified, faggot-hating terrorist group is something to causally accept, then that's cool.
