For starters he needs to quarantine for 14 days. Not that it will make any difference because he is never seen anyway.Quote:

There’s a few twists here..No 10 now claiming he “was baptising his son at Westminster Cathedral. A priest can confirm this” on the weekend in question .
1. Why would Italy have a note of him arriving if it wasn’t true ?
2. Boris was originally catholic, converted to CoE in the 80s, seems to now be Catholic again
Can’t believe that of a man who is so steadfast in his convictions [emoji2]
Wouldn't that rule him out of becoming King? :confused:Quote:

Disraeli and Thatcher both converted from Judaism and Methodism respectively some time before taking office as it appears has Johnson from Catholicism. It wasn't an issue for Brown and the Presbyterian Church of Scotland is protected in various acts of law.
The PM no longer advises the monarch on Church of England matters, he just delivers the decisions taken elsewhere.. I think it was Brown who introduced that.Quote:

The DUP must be confused; it must be like living with an abusive partner who you hate but you just cant leave.Quote:

This the bunch of chancers who have tried to bring in track and trace apps, have told us that they will sort out border control etc. They can't even arrange a zoom meeting.
Previously I was undecided about the competence of the current chancellor, but after having just watched Rishi Sunak's autocue speech from the Conservative Party Conference I'm now convinced he's as much of a hoof****ing bungle**** as the rest of them and is spoon fed his soundbites by Cummings.
I never got how anybody thought he was anything other than a Cummings puppet. He only got the job because the previous Chancellor refused to be controlled by Dom.Quote:

They could start to balance the books by taking money back from the companies who were given it for services they could never deliver. Ferries, POE and test and trace spring instantly to mind. Perhaps they would also like to close the loopholes on tax avoidance. Luke Rees-mogg for example earning over 100m in the last five years and paying diddly squat in tax. ****ing despicable bunch of con artists. And we are allowing it to happen. We see it, we know about it and we allow it. Shame on us as well
"Through careful management of our economy, this Conservative government will always balance the books."
Man, you have to laugh.

Yeah, I was more meaning about in Scotland. No matter what anyone says Scotland has not voted for a Tory gov since the mid 50s but we keep getting them. Even if we had voted for Labour last time we would still have a ****ing Tory gov. I still fail to see how after all of what's been happening in the last ten years and more recently that staying part of a union that votes these *******s in more often than not is a good thingQuote:

Davidson should be asking questions of her bosses in London. They are simultaneously increasing restrictions whilst cutting support. It's nonsensical and is abandoning the lowest paid workers and the most vulnerable in society at a time when they need help the most. Whatever people's views are on hospitality (or other imapacted industries) they should all be standing together with fellow workers and humans and demanding better from the government. It's so inherently wrong. It's classic double standards from Davidson and her ire is, at least in part, being aimed at the wrong people.
I ****ing detest her, horrible human being and a brass neck you couldn't mark with a blow torch.Quote:

Probably not, he’ll just twist it around to point it at the SNP and he’ll be backed by the right wing press and the ‘impartial’ BBC.
So if we don’t do the protest thing, what next? Don’t vote Tory at the next election? I think we’ve tried that a few times over the past 50 years or so.
There really only is one long term solution here.

Fair enough. So long as he's made to pull the building down.Quote:

I have a weird admiration of their shamelessness and a useless hope they'll spend sometime in stardy.
