I'd like to see Raab in a head to head at Mastermind with a potato.Quote:

Channel 4 news filled a lorry driver delivering donuts to Germany from Leeds. She picked up some milkshakes in Holland and brought them back. I kid you not she got out her depot and was going to pick up the donuts. Was told to stop as a vet had to check what she was picking as they had cream in them and was classed as an animal product. 4 days to get back home. No wonder the country is ****ed.
As long as they’re chips and not french fries then yes we can.Quote:

What’s with the obsession about Christmas?
I mean, I like Christmas, but it’s like our National priorities are being set by a 5 year old.
Probably the best description of the PM yet. 😉Quote:

If our supply chains and infrastructure are not coping now then in the run up to Xmas it is going to be chaos. Our consumption levels go through the roof in November/December. Satisfying that demand if going to very very difficult this year and people are going to be very upset when they can’t do what they normally do. Add a fuel and energy crisis into the mix and I’ll be shocked if the UK does not move into a severe recession going into the new year.Quote:

Is it because he might have a chance of actually delivering on a soundbite?Quote:

It would surely be a big huzzah for Bozo in the media if Turkey and Brussel sprouts were simultaneously available to a grateful nation.
Even if they are imported from Europe and cost even more money than fuel post Brexit.

After all the incessant bleating from the right about a culture war it's pretty ironic that the first thing with a genuine shot at cancelling Christmas is Brexit.
Personally I’ve got no problem with Christmas being cancelled. At least the overblown, consumer driven orgy of buying useless crap for people who don’t want or need it. Love the family time, love the relaxation and time away from constant work, but less of the things I’m not bothered about would be a bonus.
Not sure my 14 year old likes the idea of cutting back on the presents but there you are.
I could be wrong but I get the feeling the Brexiteers and torys are very much concerned about Christmas and the opportunity to celebrate a very British traditional Christmas. White Santa and baby Jesus, pissed up Christmas Eve to Boxing Day, standing for the Queens speech, turkey and sprouts (not packaged as Brussels sprouts!) Alf Garnett personified.
I haven't heard anyone, politicians or press, concerned about any other religions religious festivals falling before the end of the year.
Brussels sprouts will go the same way as the German shepherd, I think that they will be renamed as brassica buds.Quote:

meanwhile the corrupt PoS is away on another freebie holiday with princess nut nut, and i bet he left his wallet at home, assuming he even has one
A week in the Costa de Sol? Outside of half term where he won’t have to rub shoulders with the great unwashed? Capitol notion. 7 weeks summer holiday is clearly not enough for him.Quote:

It's almost as if Bozo signed up for this without reading it first.Quote:

An interesting analysis here of what Johnson and Frost might be up to, and why that needs Biden to come a cropper:

Totally correct. All Remainers' fault. :faf:Quote:
