Truss is quite clearly as mad as a Old Centaur employee. "Our assumption was that we'd worked up these plans with Treasury officials and if there had been a major problem it would have been flagged to us,". You're the f**king PM does any sane person really believe you weren't warned and in any case why did you muzzle the OBR and prevent them from reporting on the impact of a mini-budget that sent the markets into a wide-eyed panic.
Flipping heck the woman is as foul as a box of frogs!!
Er... since when was "Old Centaur employee" a word that necessitated being moderated to "Old Centaur employee"?
Can someone explain?
WTF why is the name of a nocturnal, black and white animal that lives in a sett a moderated word. You've got to be kidding me!!!!!
What's the word that was moderated to Old Centaur employee? You need to put in a few - or '.
Why do I need to do that to b-a-d-g-e-r- ??

I must be missing something. I can't see the point in the moderation.

By the way, I thought it was mad as a hatter.

Short-legged omnivores are frowned upon here, and so are certain fruits such as cranberries

Hopefully that clarifies the matter

Ok so "mad as a Truss" from now on then? But hang on, that has connotations too, doesn't it? Someone can be as mad as a surgical support - but in her case, not as useful?

Well, they've censored certain words for a reason

I can't say it, but I can whisper it :)

But not like it's a big secret or anything, just refers to a couple Youtubers that promote rival software is all

Ah OK. That's cool then. No reason why BA should tolerate that.

Btw I've sent you a brief PM last night to clarify which Youtubers, since you asked

That is what I meant when I said I'd whisper it :)

Nadine Dorries, still crying over her party getting rid of the buffoon, will stand down at the next election and good riddance to her. :D

Blimey. Watching Question Time is tough.
Tory conflating the new deputy tory chairman's suggestion of food bank misuse with Ukraine's battle for freedom. Good grief!

Thanks for reminding me. A minister calling for the death penalty is just what Sunak needed. :lol:

Scott Benton: Anything other than a vastly increased Labour majority [in West Lancashire] spells trouble for the Labour party!

Brilliant idea, the more you get humiliated the more you lower the bar. :lol:

I want to sleep, but will never accept the concept of the death penalty.
My mum said "would you like to pull the trigger?". And I realised I could not.The death penalty is state sponsored murder.
Even Pierrepoint said it was not a deterrent, merely revenge.

Lastest polling:
  • SNP would be the official opposition.
    Only 32% of Con voters in 2019 disgree with the statement "are the Conservatives fundamentally corrupt"
    Only 13% of all voters in 2019 disgree with the statement "are the Conservatives fundamentally corrupt"

    Like a gunman looking to see if he's missed anyone, their parting gift will probably be those Gambling Commission "reforms".

And the SNP can't vote on EVEL matters (English Votes for English Laws), If they were to become official opposition. I know unlikely, but surely an indication that current voting system could be broken.

It would probably be good for the Tories to spend a couple of election cycles in opposition to have a good think about things
