I feel like from listening to LBC the past couple of weeks, the idea/accusation that Boris wants to 'sell out' the NHS to the US has been a topic for a while. Why is Jezza saying it suddenly a big deal?

i guess I was misreading it but as I've posted before my conspiracy theory is that Brexit was nothing more than an effort to introduce catastrophe in order to privatize the NHS and other public institutions by American companies, which the rich tories would have already invested in, i.e. theresa may's husband.

"Oh, Jeremy Corbyn" to the tune of Seven Nation Army has been sung at Labour rallies (and rock festivals he turns up at) since 2017, which is what the bloke was singing. Jeremy sung the bloke's name back, which is both just a fun/nice thing to do and (IMO) was him pretty much saying "You're as important as I am".

The table tennis player is a lad with Downs Syndrome. He calls out to JC in the form of a popular chant based around the main riff from The White Stripes' Seven Nation Army.
JC responds in kind, using the lad's name which he presumably heard before earlier in the meet'n'greet, but remembered.

It's a cute, if unremarkable, exchange. But it shows that a dude with special needs recognizes that JC is the best bet for him. He's likely been at the receiving end of Tory cuts to mental health/special needs services, and the MSM aren't going around special needs community centres asking people like him who'll they'll vote for. Why would they, when it's easier to talk to boomers in the Home Counties about how Brexit needs to get done?

The humour comes from the tweeter inviting the viewer to imagine BoJo in the same situation. There's no chance BoJo would have bothered to remember the Downs Syndrome lad's name, and no chance he would have reacted in kind and invited the lad to bring it in for a hug. Imagining BoJo in this situation would most likely result in the Downs Syndrome lad being ripped apart by hounds before he got close to the PM.

Who said it was a conspiracy? The information is there for anyone with any wit to look for it. Just because the murdoch owned press isn't reporting it doesn't mean it is being covered up.

Thanks guys for the comprehensive explanation !

this is actually pretty close to what is probably why
“It is a likely speculation that the Norman French title 'Count' was abandoned in England in favour of the Germanic 'Earl' […] precisely because of the uncomfortable phonetic proximity to oval office".
due to the great vowel shift count would have sounded much closer than it does today

Andrew said he doesn't sweat since an adrenaline surge during the Falklands war. So it's impossible for him to have sweated on the woman who says he raped her.

[e] He also says the photo(s) of him with her can't be real because his fingers were much fatter.
