Chicken, beef, lamb or pork?
Also, what side dishes? Yorkshire puddings?

If he was a normal person, I'd agree. As it is, he's just being a politician trying to walk a fine line that keeps both the LGBTQ+ community and Tory Back Benchers happy at the same time.
He'll manage neither, obviously.
Lamb at the bottom? Monster.
Lamb is second only to Duck. What a shambles.
We were talking about sunday roasts and eating arse ya fucking funkopop
I've got into one of my reading moods recently and the more I read, the fewer Conservative seats I think will hold at the election. Could be truly spectacular if things go a certain way. Anyway, while reading I keep running into whole armadas of articles in which various sections of the economic establishment shill hard and with an air of slight desperation for wage suppression. Take just this week:
Tuesday, Capita: https://www.theguardian.com/business...ta-brewdog-pay
Thursday, the Bank of England: https://www.theguardian.com/business...rol-bank-warns
Thursday, the Agriculture Development Board: https://ahdb.org.uk/news/economic-outlook-february-2024
Average salary here is 65% of what it is in the US, or about £16,000 a year lower. OK, workers here have more holiday and job security but that's still a startling difference. Meanwhile JRM, Truss and co are out there launching 'PopCon' trying to deregulate business, and in two weeks we'll be relaxing travel visa restrictions for half the Arab world so that they can all come in, get job interviews, and keep those wages nice and low. Think there's a lot of wishful thinking going on behind the purse strings and I can't quite work out what's behind it. It's not going to win them any more votes, let's put it that way.
Ageing society, unaffordable state pensions, taxes already high.
The only solution is an increase in population. Particularly of working age people. It's not going away, either. Because - again - none of you cunts are having kids.
The pension Ponzi scheme argument doesn't work on its own terms, let alone when certain ethnicities are massively more likely to be economically inactive than white British people (even accounting for skewed age profiles). Half of all Bangladeshis don't work, and most of the ones that do are in low skilled, low wage occupations that are liable to represent an on-going net drain on the taxpayer. Who is going to pay for their pensions?
People aren't having kids because of wage stagnation and spiralling housing costs, caused in large part by... *drumroll*
The Conservative Party.
Ageing pop is caused by feminism and medical advances, you can't change ageing pop. Except with housing supply reform targeted in white areas, which is almost the entire country by the way.
Unbelievably, the numbers of younger people owning their own homes has actually increased over the last decade having undergone a massive collapse during the 2000s. It was around 2000/2001 that net migration exceeded the number of houses built annually for the first time, and it has done every year since except for 2020.
I wonder what happens when the Boomers start dying. I'd have thought the wealth would trickle down to their kids / grandkids, but it seems like too easy a money grab to be passed up, so I can see them cranking up the inheritance taxes over the next decade or so. Especially if Labour get a second term. They'll sell it as addressing inequality.
Boom. Launder that shit all through the bowls club.Quote:
There’s normally no Inheritance Tax to pay if either:
the value of your estate is below the £325,000 threshold
you leave everything above the £325,000 threshold to your spouse, civil partner, a charity or a community amateur sports club
A fairly interesting test case for Labour as it emerges that their candidate for the Rochdale by-election, Azhar Ali, claimed that Oct 7 was an Israeli false flag attack. Aside from it being a pretty enormous failure of vetting, and a huge opportunity for George Galloway (who is a traitor and should be deported), what it does is force Keir Starmer to actively piss off Muslims, most of whom fervently believe such things. He can't even be stood down now as it's too late, so the election has to go ahead with him in it.
I think pretty much everyone is just a wingnut of some description these days.
I was laughing my arse off at this the other day:

Gammon McGammonface there is Taz's wet dream.
He's really running through a greatest hits of conspiracy theories there isn't he.
I feel like the interviewer thought he struck gold there until he was stood for ages having to politely agree with him to get the content.
Mr 'The Normans invaded? Yeah?' is obviously the highlight, but pretty much everyone featured is some kind of moron. Full marks to the elderly Indian lady pronouncing the British government as 'number one in the world' and Rishi Sunak as 'great, a second Modi', sounds like we might have slipped to number two then but a nice preview of when Leicester gets burned to the ground in an Indo-Pak race war in a few years' time.

"Withdrawn support", apparently.
At least it gave us a day of people who took anti-Semitism immensely seriously under Wor Jezza making excuses for him. Oh well he's apologised so... So he didn't believe what he said then, or he doesn't believe it anymore?
Pretty amazing lack of vetting really, especially for a by-election in which George Galloway is going around with goons trying to whip some jihad into the uncles.
I would imagine that most Muslim politicians active in shithole town 'community politics' share those views, so he's just unlucky enough to have been exposed prior to winning his seat. If he was already in he could have sat down with a friendly rabbi and then gone back to lobbying for various soft Islamist causes.
:lol:
Ferryhill's best and brightest. Are you bursting for a piss, mate?
I would love to see Gorgeous George Galloway back in politics. The best promo in the business. Dislikes the SNP, the European Union, and America; likes Manchester United, Bashar al-Assad, and saucy young Asian wives. I would lend him my vote.
His canvassing vibe in this campaign has been very weird. Keeps turning up in car parks flanked by a load of minders who look like they've flown straight in from South Waziristan, gassing on about Palestine. Nothing to do with Rochdale whatsoever. He won't win, the whites will keep him out.
I actually had a pretty bad adverse reaction to the first vaccine so called it a day after that. But of all the things I'm furious with Sunak/this Conservative cycle about, the vaccine isn't one of them. Why in God's name would his advisors allow Sunak to be exposed to that nutjob channel?
If there's one thing we've learned in recent weeks it's that his advisors are massive idiots. What's the best that could happen from a spot on GB News? The only people that watch it are the most likely to vote Tory anyway.
I guess he calculated that by appearing tough on there he could claw back some support from Reform, which is loser thinking.
My dad's wife's brother (stay with me) is one of those minders. He's been in his circle for a while now turning up by his side on Sputnik and all these other random news channels as well as loads of random c list celebrity appearances (like Michael Knighton).
Anyway, long story short, I think he's a bit thick.
Lol at these cunts allowing the zionists to ruin them again. Buttfucked by both sides of this now, thanks to their disgraceful stance.
The comments from this second bloke seem very reasonable too.
This will be a rich seam for the Tories all year, possibly the only one they have. Starmer has some hard decisions to make. White Brits have increasing sympathy with the Palestinian cause but it's about number thirty on their list of priorities. For Muslim voters it is priority number one, two, three four and five. Very hard situation to play, especially if the war drags on towards election time.
There is a discussion to be had about dual nationality, particularly in terms of politicians and anybody in a government job requiring any sort of security clearance, so the idea that dual nationals are allowed to fight for 'recognised' armed forces is a weird one. Would we be responsible for prosecuting them if they did anything illegal when doing so?
If it was down to me anyone going to fight for the IDF, or any other foreign army, just wouldn't be allowed back into the country ever again. If you fight for a foreign force you are by definition not British. Same goes for the weirdo SAS types going to Ukraine, and anyone who is a mercenary anywhere in the world.
It may be difficult now but it wasn't so at the outset. All of this would have been prevented had they just decided to condemn a genocide a few months back.
I only get the choice of Labour or Conservatives where I live. Not even any zany independents. It's pretty depressing, but I'm either not voting or spoiling my ballot as things stand. I can't vote for any of these cunts.
I voted Green LTO. I've moved since and haven't really seen any local representation outside of Labour. Perhaps everyone else has given up.
Polling done before all this Rochdale fallout. They could still very well fuck this up. :harold:
It's legitimately tragic. I've been "pOlItIcAlLy HoMeLeSs" since I turned old enough to vote. Labour are generally less evil, so they tend to get my vote, but it's just much of muchness now.
What do Labour even stand for now? I have no idea.
Look at Surrey turning Lib Dem. Genuinely embarrassing and I owe you all an apology for this shameful behaviour.
The next government will be almost exactly like the current one, except probably cooking up some wacky America-brained 'Windrush' laws to boost racial discrimination and legalise stabbings. With that in mind, the only thing to fear from Labour is them letting Gordon Brown have another go at making devolution an even bigger pile of shit.
That would stop me from wanting to come over tbf.
