The defence rests.
Theresa May's Conservatives
Jeremy Corbyn's Labour
Tim Farron's Liberal Democrats
Paul Nuttall's UKIP
2 people's Greens
Nicholas Durgeon's Scottish Nationalists
Satan's Sinn Fein
Dr Ian Paisley's DUP
Some other bunch of nonces
I'm foreign, but I wish I were an Englishman
The defence rests.
I never got that one. Following its argument, how can some loser cartoonist judge the performance of a government minister?
What qualifications do government ministers have to make the policy decisions they do? Grant Shapps is making the decisions for the entire of British transport and his CV is just a load of fraudulent business ventures in a totally unrelated field.Originally Posted by Lewis
This is how we end up with the likes of Chris Grayling continually running departments into the ground and Sir Eric Pickles getting a knighthood for spunking £60k on biscuits.
Nobody is ever qualified for any government job if you think about it like that (civil service included beyond specialist technical roles). What qualifies somebody to be Prime Minister?
Eating a sandwich without looking silly.
In hindsight he got stitched up by undercooked bacon didn't he? He had to eat it carefully to keep it intact.
The nasal voice would have done him in anyway. Imagine that voice reeling off the death tolls. You'd have 100% compliance just to make it stop.
Now Then.
Unfortunate.
I love that the huns are actually buying this tunnel thing. So easy.
“Britain DOES care about us!”
Tunnel thing? As in a tunnel from Britain to NI?
Sounds like a great idea. It's not as if we're in a global recession with record debt levels or anything.
I would say that makes it the ideal time to do it insofar as what's another twenty billion? Normally lol no thanks, although I would take it over high-speed rail.
And more to the point, it's not like Brexit magic'd a giant wall into place and digging under it is the only option. Any problem blocking trade is bureaucratic and you can't tunnel under bureaucracy.
Yeah but Matt Hancock's got a mate who makes horse saddles who's well up for an undersea tunnel contract.
I'd build it for sure, just so we can then blow it up in the next war against them.
But risky building it from Scotland anyway.
They manage bureaucracy at the Channel Tunnel. The Ian Paisley Tunnel, with the Edward Carson Terminal at Carlisle, and all the special trains named after various paramilitaries and the like.
Almost worth it for the inevitable cluster-fuck alone.
Finish building in 2028, Scottish independence and rejoining the EU in 2029.
It would be less lol than the Norwegian one that nobody will use.
One thing I'd like to do is drive a golf cart down the channel tunnel. This could be that but with more drinking.
Ultimately we need to build one from Bristol to America, which goes directly underneath Ireland.
Probably be worth investing in a map.
Have you heard about corners?
Limp wristed attempt at a save. DeGea-esque.
It would have to go from around Liverpool if you want it in a straight line via Ireland and there is nobody that wants that.
If he was really thinking he’d be starting somewhere in the north east and going under Liverpool too.
Halifax to Halifax.
Sponsored by Halifax. With Howard on the front of every train.
And the tunnel is made of people. Moon River plays throughout. You get £100 when you switch rails.
Howard's Gigantic Fudge Tunnel
WHO GIVES YOU EXTRA
A never ending mess of multi-billion pound rail projects is my busy work until retirement, thank you very much.
The Keir 'Sir Keir Starmer' Starmer set-piece RELAUNCH sounds like a bust. A national savings scheme that would cost the country money for no benefit, and some purple vibes behind his holding a fart in face. It can't be a coincidence that it was done on the two year anniversary of The Independent Group/Change UK being founded. They won't break thirty-five per cent at the next election.
Why is he doing it? No one gives a shit about economic policy or ideas now. It's covid covid covid until it's gone, then he can start flag shagging and coming up with ideas.
Did he not just think to kite fly it in the telegraph first rather than embarrassingly make a video?
Probably tried the Independent but found they were too busy doing 24 hour coverage of that Trump casino being blown up yesterday
The government will get to set the terms of reference after its ill-gotten vaccine bounce, so it makes sense in theory to make a noise; but he's probably the least credible person in the world to advocate for any new way of doing things, so we just get to watch the Labour Party do 2011-15 again.
Should be able to fit more M&S and Little Chefs on this one.
This is just the latest version of when he wanted to float an airport on the Thames Estuary.
I can confidently say he’s never driven out to the reaches of the Ards peninsula.
That makes no sense whatsoever. Heysham to Liverpool is about forty miles, so why would you dig another megabillion quid tunnel as an option? It's either made up, or something the civil service have come up with to make the other ideas look better.
I wonder if any of them have ever tried to drive to Stranraer (as I have). It's about a billion miles from the English border and similar from Glasgow. I had to turn back halfway due to a storm.
I think it's cool and they should do it.
Labour calling for an increase in Corporation Tax is interesting (and expected). It would do no harm, apparently.
Errr, it might to the ones that haven't been able to trade for a year, love. And it might sting a bit if they start setting up in Switzerland instead.
I'm sure they'd still prefer the lower corporation tax available in the UK than other countries.
Depends how much it gets put up. The Labour bod seemed to want it on par with the EU.
Hang on, I thought Keir had said he opposed corporation tax rises the other day.
Just checked, it was Labour MP Laura Farris. It was on Politics live at 12.
She's Tory. The world is now officially upside down.
