Sorry Izzy. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II died on the 8th of September. We had a 5 mile long queue to see her lying in state and then a state funeral on the 19th.

 

Sorry you had to find out like this.

Yeah I vaguely remember this.

 

It's the bit you quoted about Liz Truss killing her that I obviously missed :huh:

Been saving this for a screenplay but I'm 90% sure that it's true anyway and the forces that be will prevent it from being made:

 

The floral industry is behind most terror attacks and natural disaster in order to create demand for their services.

One theory is that that reboot shouldn't involve the party members voting on the party leader should be.

 

In very simplistic terms this supposedly means that you get David rather than Ed Miliband, you don't get Corbyn, Johnson or Truss, all of which might have worked out a bit better

Should be cast in law. Only MPs have any sort of mandate to select a PM. The party members can choose a party leader prior to an election, then the electorate decide which party to form the government and hence who is to become PM. After that, it has to be up to elected MPs, not some tiny, unrepresentative minority of the electorate.

That would be hilarious! I don't even know who those Mps are. 

 

We need a good strong opposition regardless of whose in power, but I'd ****ing love it if that wasn't the Tory's and the were effectively elimated to the history books.

A whopping great majority for any party isn’t healthy politics 

You’re right. It’s lead to economic incompetence under this lot and would lead to woke illiberal authoritarianism under Starmers lot, oh and they probably wouldn’t do any better with the economy either. Oh what a bright future we have to look forward to.

I do agree, though a first term massive majority for Labour to right the wrongs of the last 12 years would be delicious. 

What is on your labour wish list?

Imprisoning Boris Johnson for being a ****.

Can you give this a rest, it's boring! 

 

My 6 year old could do a better job than the current government so stop trying to make out that labour would be worse just because your a Tory. We had some very good economic times under the last Labour government until a global financial crisis occured. 

It’s a global crisis now isn’t it!

Is it really a global crisis comparable to 2008? I don't think so, even so what's the excuse for the previous 12 years? 

 

And as has already been made clear in this thread, the situation in the UK had been made dramatically worse because of the current government and their decisions.

Anybody using the word 'woke' as an insult or in the derogatory is spending too much time with the Daily Mail. The actual definition of woke:

 

Alert to injustice in society, especially racism

 

If you are not woke then you are part of the problem. 

 

Imagine being alert to things, like concepts, events and ideas.  That's the bit people find upsetting.

 

It sounds frightening and bad

This is all very well until nutters take over the definition of what is injustice and twist it beyond all recognition for their own ends.  Then woke is being a naive fool who can't define what a woman is.

That definition is socially and scientifically more complex than some folks believe it to be (or want it to be, because they have very pointed ideas about what a woman is and what they should do, regardless of the actual consent of women).

Shouldn't the UK then "do nothing about it because the UK's economic footprint is tiny compared to the US/China so it doesn't really matter"?
