Tory policies are always good-sounding when summed up in one sentence, that's why they're so good at getting votes from people who barely pay attention to politics

people see "build more houses" or "cut taxes" or "be kind to animals" and think "oh yes that's a good idea, I'll vote for them"

and then the media (and, under Starmer, Labour) utterly fail to explain that actually the houses are >£500k investment properties, and the tax cuts don't actually apply to people earning under £100k, and the only animals protected are police dogs and horses

quite funny considering they still use the excuse of tourism to keep the royals around

god drat I keep seeing this argument around and I'm getting loving tired of it

particularly as France hasn't had a monarch for 150 years and yet there's this little palace in somewhere called Versailles that still seems to do pretty well tourist-wise

(I know you're not using it genuinely, I'm just venting really)

the two pain au chocolat they've waited 20 starving minutes for is going to cost six loving quid.

making pains au chocolat by hand is a literal multi-day process so yeah I can see them being on the expensive side, as opposed to a cake where you chuck all the ingredients in the mixer and then chuck it in the oven for half an hour

I'm enjoying how the anti-woke brigade are insisting that Keith and the Grauniad are both woke, but the people who actually know what it means are all "gently caress off no they aren't"

The jokes are really weak on it these days.
They get uploaded to YT so I watch it once in a while, and there's no political satire in it any more.
Its monkey cheese Milton Jones word puns for 5 year olds to clap along to, in between bits of the obligatory Hislop squinting and going 'Tsk this government tsk'.

I've got headphones in so I have no idea what was said (though between Hislop and Osman I bet it was some pissweak "both sides are the same" bullshit) but 4 or 5 times I looked over and it was some "comedy" clip they must have found somewhere on the internet

My ex used to mention (with worrying frequency) that you can get in trouble for walking down the street with a baseball bat because it's a weapon, but if you have a ball in your back pocket then it's absolutely fine.

cricket bat, maybe

considering the rarity of baseball teams in this country I think you'd have a tough job convincing the filth that you were just going down the park for a quick nine innings

Isn't he a lawyer of some kind? Surely he's familiar with the idea that even if you agree with something, you should oppose it in the ways you can, to make sure it's as robust as possible? Or does he think lawyers who defend obviously-guilty people are evil?

he was a prosecutor, he thinks all defence lawyers are evil

They're just utterly incompetent. A hand picked politcal newbie and they don't have someone sat on her all day every day to rubber stamp everything?

How does something like this get the green light. Regardless of how ludicrous it is to be called anti semitic for supporting a charity to get food to starving kids, anything involving israel and palestine is a lightning rod for loving idiots and would do nothing but generate negative press.

Who the gently caress is in charge of this. Seriously?

politicians supporting Palestine is actually cool and good, hth

Otoh the core social tenet of Methodism is to work to your utmost to improve the lives of others, so I think he'd just go for the other one and charge a bunch of those plastic chairs you got in assembly to his expenses.
