I don't like what that nation would be. I'm happy with the one I have.
It could be some joke protectorate like Bosnia with a plastic neutral viceroy.
Once a lot of that 60% were told what they'd end up with during a referendum campaign it would fall significantly. I very much doubt it would pass in Northern Irelabd either. A lot of "nationalists" know how their bread gets the most butter and won't want that changing.
The biggest enditement of Boris Johnson is making Ed Miliband look good in a speech where he couldn't go 3 words without stumbling.
I think he called the Deputy Speaker 'Miss' about 12 times.
'Boris' is absolutely pathetic.
I think we have a good mixture of upper/lower class, income, demographic and geographic spread.
Have any of you ever been polled in one of these things?
edit: Discounting Jimmy because IIRC he signed up to be polled.
I've heard madness like a 4 province federal setup and things like that too.
Having to take on the cultural aspects of it should sicken enough people before you even get as far as how employment is set up in it.
A nice Celtic union with an independent Scotland would be their best way forward. They've far more in common with the Scots than the Irish anyway.
There is less chance of Scotland leaving than them.
I spent several minutes trying to figure out what Francophone jargon you were putting to use there before I realized you were trying to spell indictment
This former MP getting two years for groping a couple of women seems a bit excessive. People get that for causing serious road accidents.
Sentencing doesn't work like that.
Cheers Legal Twitter.
"I'm a naughty Tory" was a nice touch.
Sounds like he needed the whip removed at the very least.
Is he the one who's wife is now the MP for wherever he was MP for?
Says as much about the leniency of sentencing for dangerous driving imo.
Any death by dangerous driving or drunk driving conviction over a certain level should be an instant lifetime ban, and it staggers me that it isn't already.
They're reviewing it aren't they? So many instances of newly passed kids piling all their mates into their deathtrap and speeding about until one inevitably dies in a crash, and they get a few points on their licence and have to retake their test.
And lifetime bans would change that?
I know a guy who is a keen drink driver and he says the consequences of being caught are not a factor in his decision to do it. He's had a couple of seshes that have got out of hand and his autopilot meant he jumped in the car and got himself home without remembering a single second of it the next day. On one memorable occasion he did curb it at a high speed and woke up to find his wheel absolutely fucked. He's not proud but as Noel Gallagher says, if he kills himself and wipes out a family of 4, THAT'S ON HIM.
Sounds like a right cunt.
My main role at the cricket club these days is staying there (fully sober) until the bitter end of the post match drinking session at 1am and stopping 2 or 3 people from drink driving home. The same handful are always bang up for it.
Five and drive.
I'm a twit
Why do you do it? I mean, they obviously shouldn't be drink driving but why take on their responsibility to not do so?
It's a results business.
Just thieve their keys, drop them down a drain and have yourself an early night.
It's a good deed really because what they deserve is a stabbing.
Weird, that.
I work with historic files, and you would probably be surprised how much important stuff just gets lost and disposed of (either binned or released) by people who don't really know what they're looking at, or assuming that someone else will have a copy of it.
Yeah but this is the important kind. The kind that reveal Grenfell was a planned gassing of brownies by naughty Tories.
I had no idea you work for the Russian Olympic Comittee.
It's also not really that easy to "wipe" a laptop so hard that a halfway competent IT company couldn't get the files back if they wanted them.
Given who we're dealing with I assume the files in question have just been moved to the recycle bin and they've considered that a job well done.
I also wrote that thinking it was a government laptop, when it's just some poor bloke who wanted a free laptop. That headline is pretty unfair.
There has to have been a bet involved in that.
He seems to have worked at least twice as hard as anyone during this, so fair play to him.
Is he working hard or is he making it hard work?
Obviously mistakes have been made, but it would have been hard whatever. Well, unless we'd adopted the Swedish model, lol.
Its 7am and he slightly misspoke. It's not even in the top 10 of fuck ups this week.
Nobody said it was. It's just a bit funny, you boring fuck.
Meanwhile this is actually funny
Hancock is one of the few that's actually been available throughout so credit there. Most of them have gone hiding for the majority.
I am not going to give credit to a member of the cabinet for ‘being on telly’.
He’s the minister for health in the middle of a pandemic ffs. If he wasn’t available it’d be a farce.
I've thought from the start that personally piling in on the health secretary (whoever it may be) during this is lazy and pathetic. Literally no one in the world wants his job, especially with Boris Johnson as your boss.
If the government are to be blamed for things it should be for their collective decision-making (as that is literally how they operate) or the PM as the figurehead and the one who (should) take responsibility.
In times like this he is more spokesman than minister, since all he can do is explain the forces from above (overall strategy) and below (institutional failures); but then you wanted the job fella. I never liked him when he was George Osborne's meat puppet on Question Time every week so way to go me.
I saw Chris Grayling is still racking up private contracts. How? He must be absolutely bent. The entire country knows he's incompetent.
Why can't she dress as Mr T?
It’s getting beyond stupid now.
Because he's Black init and it's racist somehow.
Imagine not understanding how blackface is racist. Not that she looks particularly blacked up in that picture.
