The intro to his speech where his billionaire wife was speaking was loving weird. She also tried to mimic Thatcher's voice for most of it. And she added absolutely nothing. I'm struggling to remember a single point she made, except 'he's my husband'. lol

So, with the cancellation of HS2 Northern Leg:

I'm basically of the simple mindset of, is this good for wildlife/nature yes/no, and that's how I make my opinions.

With this cancellation: has all the standard environmental destruction already happened, to clear the way for the tracks? Or will this cancellation at least halt that?

Because this place is such a shithole I imagine we'll have the worst of both worlds: the land all dug up, but nothing built on it.

To be fair, political sketchwriters should be banned full stop because they are about as funny as toothache while trying desperately hard. See Letts, Quentin.

Although someone should tell Rishi that they can just watch it on TV & still write bad jokes about how poo poo his speech is

Well assuming they get it legislated before the next election, which seems unlikely. And it's the same thing as with weed now (except old people can legally get them) so I rather doubt it's just going to go away.

Totally tory.txt to tell the Boomers they can keep puffing away while stopping them kids from enjoying the same things Boomers did, mind.

They're basically copying the NZ smoking ban, where the minimum age to purchase tobacco will rise every year (locking out anyone born before a certain date).

Honestly a "Think 47" policy is something good that should be in operation everywhere.

"Think. Could this bald person I'm talking to in actuality be a genetically enhanced killer in disguise who is about to setup a complicated Rube Goldsberg type scenario to kill someone in this building."

In other news.

Tory conference hears British soldiers were 'dragged back to Belfast' and 'hounded to death'

By "dragged back to Belfast" you mean "returned their to face trial over someone you admitted to shooting dead." and by "Hounded to Death" you must mean "likely contracted Covid when you posed for photographs with dickhead supporters."
