Waiting for a train, I needed a shit. You won't bee-lieve what happened next

Just saw picture of Javid on front page of Metro on bus. What a loving bellend, how can you trust someone who doesn't say gently caress off when told to stand like that?

Is there a logical reason for that stance? Like you look amazing when shot from a specific angle or something?

It's probably supposed to look firm and powerful or something. I dunno they all look like loving wankers to me either way.

That power stance is a joke from Blackadder the Third that has somehow been mistaken for truth.

George Osborne was caught on camera collapsing in on himself as he came down from a cocaine high. The entire Tory party decided this impressive display of masculine might should be imitated as often as possible.

Can't get no luck.

That power stance, to me, is really just a big invitation to kick them in the bollocks, which I would gladly do.

All that poo poo was easy for our parents' generation.
There was a relevant piece about this in yesterday's MS. Yeah, systemically it might be easier for older/whiter/manlier people, but poo poo still sucks for a bunch of Boomers due to austerity and land monopoly. 80% of wealth might be concentrated in the olds, but 80% of that is concentrated in 20% of the olds, and I can't help but think that the liberal/soft-left media attempts to frame this as a generational issue are deflecting. If it was purely generational then the Millennials would just need to awaiting their inheritance, rather than man the barricades. NWBTCW &c.

It's an ambition to have a thread by the first of the month, not a target.

That's why it's a power stance - leaving yourself vulnerable to the most despicable forms of attack, confident that your sheer masculine power will cow any miscreant.

The lack of a May thread speaks to the corruption at the heart of this forum and I call on Jose to resign.

It was going to be the Amber Rudd thread, but Javid still needs to learn the brief.

I seem to have made a tactical error here. I haven't inherited anything from mine and I'm already running out...

My gran decided years ago that she would spend our inheritance on us while she was still alive so she could enjoy it too and also so she doesn't have to pay inheritance tax. This means she takes us all out for meals on special occasions and then goes on month long cruises by herself and shares all the photos and stories with me when she's back and I love it. :3:

Delays have occurred due to reshuffling, but rest assured that none of us were aware of any targets for when the first of the month would fall.

Barrow already looks pretty hosed: if the nuclear submarines go, they're completely hosed and they know it: They're a poor community at the end of an isolated peninsula and no other employment in the town. I understand a bit better why they're so stubborn about clinging on to their machinery of death now.

Barrow also builds the non Trident attack submarines (which no party has suggested scrapping, though they have been cut from 12 to 7 in recent years primarily due to defence cuts rather than strategic decisions). Regardless of Trident, it should be possible to guarantee continued work for Barrow.

The main question is what we’re going to use the Astutes for, and how many of them we’ll need for that. As the country’s life insurance policy, the Vanguards are at least theoretically a more solid investment.
