My lottery win fantasy

I'd definitely contact Steve Bray and John Bercow and ask if they could come to my house and stand in the corners of my living room shouting "Order Order" and "Stop Brexit" at the appropriate points during the BBC and Channel 4 news, in return for a handsome fee.

I'd then pour them a drink and tell them I really think they added something special to the coverage.

When they tried to leave I'd coat them in peanut butter and lock them in my shed with a family of hungry badgers

With regard to Steve Bray, it seems as though he was appropriately named.
Bray! isn't that what donkey`s do?

The overall point seems valid though?

Not sure you need to win the lottery, Bray is only being paid £80 a day to do his master's bidding, and Bercow looks cheap too.

I'm not going to create a meme from scratch for that guff

The text size/placement is more of a crime than the spelling IMO

I don't think it was likely, but it was certainly a risk.

If you can't see that risk, then the problem may be yours.

It really wasn’t a risk.

For many reasons.

That an otherwise sensible person who has done well for himself in life and normally speaks common sense would take to the internet to state that he considered the total abolition of democracy and attendant dissolution of the monarchy, appropriation of the military, abolition of free enterprise etc required to underpin a genuinely Marxist state etc is just mind boggling.

I didn't think I would see a time when a mainstream party would consider confiscating privately owned assets....yet the Marxists were proposing just that, and 30% of the electorate thought it was a good thing.

If they are willing to take something I own, then why would my vote be safe?

When the IFS has to damn with such faint praise, you have to question why anyone thought Corbyn could ever manage what he promised and hence, how he was to be trusted in regard to any of his (or McDonnell's) intentions?

Fortunately, they still are, and it looks very likely that position won't change due to the UK.

No 1 trend on Twitter #Corbynwasright

As usual Twitter trying to demonstrate a point by being totally and utterly wrong.

Then listen to the Corbynite Claudia Webbe car crash interview on radio 4 this morning. Labour are in deeper trouble than even we can imagine. Dear God. Someone that Momentum parachuted into a safe Labour seat.

HMRC confiscate some of my assets every January.

I heard that interview and it had all the hallmarks of someone who hadn't the foggiest idea how to reply so she went off on a recitation of Labour stock replies. Unfortunately not to any question remotely connected with the question in hand. It is impossible to hold a conversation with someone of her mindset as it takes on the form of parallel unconnected monologues.

I get so unreasonably angry in myself when politicians do that. It's just rude to the electorate and the wider audience. I get towing the party line, however I also respect people more when they stop being so bloody Comical Ali.

Fairly pleasant and humourous mini-speech from Theresa today.

But they were on the news all the damn time, stating as fact that they represented what the majority really wanted, and less people now want to leave the EU, which will be reflected in the votes they would get.

That Twitter bubble must have shielded them all from the outside (real) world.

Believe your ego and believe the electorate are thick and that's what you get. It will be interesting to see how long it will be before Chucker Upper starts sniffing around the Conservatives because of that bunch he's the one we won't have heard the last of.

He's the British Obama, you know.

That interview was an utter car crash! Deluded doesn’t even come close.

To the tune of the Tigger song.

The wonderful thing about tiggers
Is tiggers are very odd things!
Their allegiances are made out of rubber
Their votes really mean nothing!
They're flouncy, flouncy, flouncy, flouncy
And now they are gone - great thing!
