Tory leadership update

Posted on June 03, 2019 by

We suspect we might be running quite a few of these.

So there’s last August.

But then there was last December:

But then, shock double-twist!

Tune in tomorrow, readers, or possibly later this afternoon, to find out whether Jeremy Hunt has always been at war with Eurasia or Eastasia.

[EDIT 1.06pm. The line above was a joke, but two hours later:]

505 to “Tory leadership update”

    @ Alex ….. “English born actor.”

    It’s all about suppression of everything relating to Scots / Scotland, Alex. I’m sure that many Scots will be gobsmacked when we get our Independence, control over our broadcasting and get the truth out there.

    “And once again.

    ‘Spain: We will NOT block an Independent Scotland’s EU membership.’”

    And once again, Spain, or any other EU member state on its own, CANNOT block Scotland’s membership because accession is by qualified majority voting and has been for decades.

    Even Germany does not have enough votes to block a new member if the rest vote for.

    Definitely Off Topic, but every time I watch Blair Wilson’s video my eyes fill with tears.

    Blair last year speaking about the homophobic attack on him last year.

    Peace and Love.

    “Can you not Google?”

    Google “Looking up England’s Arsehole” ? … I was afraid of what I might find!

    Thanks for the link, my only memory of the line was from a poster some friends brought back from a march they attended in Abergele more than 30 years ago.

    £5.95 seems something of a bargain, for an anthology of wit and wisdom. With free postage on orders over a tenner, I think I might get some for Christmas.
