What could have been if we had let the pandemic rip. Collapse the NHS and re-build it like a civilised country. No queues in Tesco on a Saturday morning. Housing surplus. Trickle-down inheritance. But no. Fucking Paddington Bearland had to be pathetic.
if only gordon brown hadn't sold the gold
Bring the death panels.
I'd make fun of Lewis, but I'm not 100% sure he isn't going to be our Idi Amin in 5 years or so.
How on earth does any one off treatment cost £2.875m? I mean, what in the actual fuck?

Well it's a rare condition and a novel, complex treatment.Quote:

The actual cost price of the treatment will be relatively high because it's far more involved than churning out billions of paracetamol, but the above is where the majority of the cost will come from.

Quincy's Dad?
Obligatory potential outcome:
LAB 505
LD 86
CON 23
REF 0
When does the Faustian pact with Nigel get proposed? Or who even does the proposing? Stand down in a few select seats, couple of promissory Lordships here and there, some seats on a future cabinet . . .
Can't believe there's still more than two weeks of this to go. Think I prefer the French timetable.
The longer this rumbles on the less I want to vote for any of them. Shower of patronising, disingenuous bastards. None of them, save for maybe Nigel Farage and the fucking Green Party, believe a word they are saying.
I have to say this is very much increasingly becoming my take. I was nailed on to vote for Labour before the election was announced but their campaign has been so toilet to date I may actually spoil my balot now.Quote:

Some Rishi protection copper has been arrested for betting on the date of the election? :D
Arrest Rishi for putting out insider info.
Love to know whose job it is at a bookmaker to sift through all winning bets and see if they can get the winners arrested.Quote:

I don't think so. Farage is a proven loser at elections for one, and although they're getting what's coming to them this time around I would think the core Conservative party members would rather get back to their roots rather than have a tubthumper with no clue how actual government works in charge.
Nige would shy away from it anyway, he is a TV personality, not an actual politician. Doesn't want responsibility. As soon as this election is over he'll be in the US.
Latest polls have Sunak losing his seat.
I could see him playing second fiddle in a Boris reboot, which is an absolutely disgusting prospect.Quote:

This was such a great documentary about someone who beat the bastards.

The absolute inability/unwillingness of people to consider that perspective goes a long way to explaining why he's right.
Nobody gives a fuck about Ukraine anymore.Quote:

I don't know why people keep going on about this - the war ended over two years ago, just as everyone said it would, with a swift victory for our Ukranian brothers and sisters supported by the seekers of truth and justice from the democratic World.
Can we move on now please?
With all this betting furore someone should ask the betting companies how many Politically Exposed People have placed losing bets on the date of the election and whether these are being urgently voided as well.
Admirable that they’re all trying to get jailed on their way out.
Please explain like I’m 5 what I’m voting for on 4th July. I thought I was voting for the prime minister but apparently I can only vote for local MPs standing in my constituency, and therefore can only vote for Labour, Conservative, Lib Dem, Reform, Green, or Independent. So can’t vote for Animal Welfare or Women’s Equality?
Gonna have to be Lib Dem cos the local Labour woman (Marie Rimmer) is a corrupt scumbag, who also refused to vote for a ceasefire when she had the chance.
What's your constituency? Yeah, you can only vote for candidates standing in your area, so if there's no affiliate link garden football workplace affair candidate standing then you can't vote for them.
St Helens South and Whiston constituency.
Never heard of Brian Spencer and he’s not bothered to litter my letterbox with propaganda so he seems sound. Yellows, it is.
The Lib Dem looks like Iain Duncan Smith's alcoholic brother.
Not sure about the independent's picture, and he's also another bald.
98% chance of winning
:happycry:
Enjoy your corruption.
Edit, sorry, 100%.
:rotate:
She's called Rimmer though so she's the real loser.
You should have to take a test to earn your vote.
Or just agree politically with the people that say this.Quote:

This whole story is so mental. That's a whole year of VAT on private school fees. Just such a litany of disaster that stemmed from not just letting a bunch of people die, most of whom probably died anyway. Not even particularly corrupt, just incompetence on an unimaginable scale.
Government wasting money? Unheard of.
Just because it happens a lot doesn't make it not worthy of scorn.
Didn't say it wasn't. Wanting to give them even more money though, that seems unwise.
The mongs criticising the government for over-ordering protective equipment, and the costs of storing it, are the same people who spent the opening phase of the pandemic calling them incompetent for not having had an emergency stockpile ready to go.
They should've had the right amount of PPE at the right time at the lowest price.
I still lol at the Americans buying PPE out of the French hands in the airport.
