Regardless of when housing, education, health services and welfare were brought into place they were all brought about by Liberal/Labour Governments and all have been continually underfunded by Tory Governments. Your claim that the Tories look after the poor with these programs is a misrepresentation of historical and current facts. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still nobody in the UK cares, other than MSM and opposition political supporters. Everybody knows the all politicians lie, especially Liebour. We ‘d rather have Boris for what he does, rather than Starmer or the others for what they lie about. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loiner Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 4 hours ago, Excel said: . So yes Boris is a criminal whether you wish to pretend otherwise, So for your education please understand the following; "What type of punishment is a fine? A fine is a penalty of money that a court of law or other authority decides has to be paid as punishment for a crime" crime /krʌɪm/ noun an action or omission which constitutes an offence and is punishable by law criminal /ˈkrɪmɪn(ə)l/ noun a person who has committed a crime. Your supporting snip are edited rather too much, so much that you pretend something other than the truth. Have a go at another snip from Wiki, slightly less contorted than yours: In the United Kingdom, a fixed penalty notice(FPN) is a notification of what is usually a minor fine for an alleged criminal offence, that unless settled will result in prosecution. A fixed penalty notice is not a fine or criminal conviction because of the distinction that the recipient can opt for the matter to be dealt with in court instead of paying. From this interpretation we can conclude that Boris is not a criminal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandPapillon Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) for you Brits ???? What would you do without the French ???? "The French Marquise de Créquy wrote in her book "Souvenirs", that the tune Grand Dieu Sauve Le Roi (God save the king) , was written by Jean-Baptiste Lully in gratitude for the survival by Louis XIV of an anal fistula operation."

The theory that this inspired God Save the King/Queen is... questionable. While it’s true the original version of this work predates the British one, but that version was completely different and didn’t use this music, so it’s likely either they reworked it to the tune of “God Save the King” or they both used an existing piece of music.

Yes, forcing the PM once a week to do question time is a great national tradition - like the PM or loathe him it can be entertaining. Just have to look over the pond to see the US president deliberately avoiding answering questions for about 110 days in a row to see the difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Will B Good Posted June 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2022 The best outcome for Labour is a vote of confidence that Bunter wins.....just. He will, by all accounts, never resign, so he will limp on committing all sorts of transgressions and eventually lead the Tory party into the wilderness. The only reason he has any vestige of 'payroll' support is that the sycophants on the payroll know they are doomed without him......Patel, Truss, Raab, Barclay, Zahawi, Dorries, Dowden et al, will all become backbencher no marks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was supposed to introduce some balance to the left riddled and biased Beeb. We are still waiting for some of that. If the BBC is "left riddled and biased" as you claim, can you (or any member of the Gammonati) explain why they edited the video of Boris getting booed to hide the booing and made no reference to it in their censored version? boris.mp4 Edited June 6, 2022 by Slip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
