Looks like NI is heading toward more elections if the DUP continue their hissy fit over the NI Protocol aspect of Brexit.

Sinn Fein won the last election, for the first time ever, so it should be interesting to see how it turns out, assuming the executive doesn’t meet and sort itself out tomorrow, the last day before the deadline for actually putting it together.

It's kinda funny that an American was quoted as knowledgeable about British politics.

Oh yeah I must've formatted sommething wrong when copy-pasting quote bb codes

*EDIT

“Diversity” is a meaningless term unless it heralds real change. Even Mahatma Gandhi noted that his patriotism did not mean people could “be crushed under the heel of Indian princes, if only the English retire”. Sunak is very much a British Indian prince, not just privately educated and extremely wealthy but an ideologically committed activist for the riches and privileges of Britain’s small oligarch class to be bolstered at the expense of the many.

Took the words out of my mouth

Our current Women's minister is claiming that protestors outside abortion clinics might be trying to comfort women getting abortions.

So there we have it, we can protest without the government arresting us now because it's not a protest, it's a comforting.

It's good to know, though, that the Conservatives will actually suspend MPs for much more terrible behaviour...

[Loud Whispers]

They call him Hancock cos he's got his cock in his hand!!!

[Great Order]

I prefer to call him Matt Handjob at this point.

Please, call me Jackoff. Mr Handjob was my father

For the past couple of weeks, a trial in Dubin has heard the details of a sensational gangland killing in which an AK-47 toting gunman dressed as a police officer and a hitman in drag stormed a boxing weigh-in, killing a member of Ireland's most notorious drug cartel.

lmao what the hell that is amazing

[JoshuaFH]

That sounds like the premise to the world's most interesting movie.

...but that's in Poland, not the UK, so really the wrong thread for it.

(Or indeed, still the wrong thread if it is a simple typo. Unless it actually also meant Blackpool.)


And, hey, Cock-and-balls (bad edit: meant to say "...never mind CaB, the PM...") is going to COP27, after all. (Because the prior genitalia-euphemism decided to accept his invitation, perhaps?) Oh what fun...

He probably figured his future was more promising on the reality TV show. And getting kicked out of the Conservative party is not the punishment it used to be...

Anyone else read the part where he keeps being a MP and collects a MP's salary?

Also: You Brits have a guy named Ed Balls. envious

Nadine Dorries was on it a few years ago and she is/was a government minister afterward.

Though the best one was George Galloway on Big Brother, if only for the quote:

Now would you like me… to be the cat?

I could've gone a lifetime without having to see that again

Not as Ballsy as you'd expect him to be

Labour to merge with the Tories when?

Or: Labour: Not much of an alternative.

[scriver]

Labour isn't that much of an alternative, that's true, but usually not for going against to the neo-liberal status quo.

The solution to healthcare worker shortage can only be to pay them more so that more domestic citizens will choose that line of work; relying on work migration because it's cheaper only creates a downwards spiral that's detrimental both to your own country and those that you recruit from (did you know that Poland is enduring a healthcare worker crisis too? It's because too many of their own workers get employment abroad).
