215 - The amount of shits flushed per day from the Queen's solid gold toilet.

[e]: And in Libdem news, super-nonagenarian non-entity Vince Cable basically admitting they've dropped all pretence:
https://twitter.com/JulianHeather1/status/1172765601980473344

quote:

Sir Vince claimed the party was in the middle of a “big transformation” as the “old political parties and structures are breaking up”.

He told the Evening Standard: “It’s fairly clear that the Conservative Party are retreating into being a very narrow little cult — a kind of English national party. No longer a broad church. Many One Nation Conservatives are now looking to us. The Labour Party has some well-known problems with the Corbyn leadership.

“We have to prepare for the fact that we are potentially at the centre of a very big movement of liberal-minded people but including social democrats and One Nation Conservatives. That’s the big picture.”

Looking At Them Tittys
1969 - 1998



Toilet Rascal
I've traveled round this country
From Nevis down to Fen
It really made me wonder
The things I seen and ken.

I saw the weary teacher
Making food and washing clothes
Because the kids are broke and hungry
And the school, it's nearly closed

But the Queen's toilet's been stolen
It's her solid golden throne
And if the teachers took the Crown back
Then that gold could be our own

I saw the sailor sighing
His fishing quota sold
But the papers love the Tories
So instead he blames the Poles

But the Queen's toilet's been stolen
It's her solid golden throne
And if the sailors took the Crown back
Then that gold could be our own

I saw the weary miner
Forty years he dug for coal
But the last deep pit's been closed off
And he's sanctioned from the dole

But the Queen's toilet's been stolen
It's her solid golden throne
And if the miners took the Crown back
Then that gold could be our own

I've seen my comrades working
Throughout this mighty land
I prayed we'd get together
And together make a stand

Then we'd own those royal buildings
With their toilets made of gold
And we'd share the Crown as People
A common treasure in freehold

No she doesn't, she needs new policies. Socialist policies. Otherwise she can gently caress off.

They had plenty of input. Jo Swindon in particular is part responsible for the implementation of having to pay for workplace tribunals. Osborne offered concessions to the Lib Dems for their manifesto and instead they just declined because tory policy is what they actually wanted to implement.

To be fair that one is kind of bullshit. It's pictures of generic 18th century cargo ships, not ones specifically known for transporting slaves. It's like looking at a picture of a steam engine and jumping straight to Auschwitz.

lmao good luck with 10 days, May couldn't do it in 3 years

I mean May's deal was poo poo and she was a total incompetent moron, but Johnson is even more of an incompetent moron and any deal that could maybe possibly be available cannot be more palatable to this parliament than May's poo poo deal was

In conclusion: :brexit:

I am legit worried and raging that the utter shiteness of the Tory/Lib Dem coalition is being forgotten, and there seems to be no real criticism of the Lib Dems apparently welcoming any Tory or labour reject with open arms. What do they even stand for any more? Its so obvious that they want back into power at any cost but everyone is obsessed with ‘Corbyn bad’ and can’t see the wood for the trees.

Ugh it’s infuriating.

Yeah, I also worry that Brexit has been a bit of a wipe-clean for many politicians. Hopefully the impending GE will force the Lib Dems to actually say what their policies are. Professional fedora wearer Vince Cable seemed quite happy about people from labour and the tories all meeting at the lib dem party, not realising that this is going to cause a shitstorm when they actually have to create a manifesto to stand under. They can't create anything populist for left- or right- wing audiences, and nobody wants to vote for more of the same. Once they have to put pen to paper and make policy, they're going to alienate everyone by creating lovely policies like "Free University Education for those in the lowest income decile aged 20-26 who go on to form a business employing 20+ people in the hospitality industry"

It's clear Boris isn't even trying to agree a new deal with the EU let alone get it through Parliament - It's theatre for the Brexit crowd so they can winge about the Big Mean EU.

The loving stupid thing is that claiming criticism of Israel as a state is anti-Semitic is itself anti-Semitic. It conflates the religious and cultural identity of Jews with the nation of Israel as a sovereign state, which is the basis of all the “dual loyalty” anti-Semitic bullshit that also comes from the right.

On the one hand, you're right, and this is something that's being pushed by right wing Israeli politicians as well. It's the same recruiting tactic that ISIS uses - it's effective. On the other hand, you're a landlord, so I assume anything you say is wrong and that you're full of poo poo.
