[blue for life]

Lifestyle Choices
I chose this bit of pavement As opposed to the fists of my dad
I chose this freezing night Instead of the rapist in my house
I chose this metal park bench Because my tenancy ran out
I chose to live off begging As I couldn't afford the rent
I chose to be beaten in the night As my parents didn't approve of my life
If this is what you really believe Then spend a night time in my shoes
I'll spend Christmas at yours And you can have my tent
Si

Quite brilliant

Sunak's face says it all - he knows Starmer is right and he knows he hasn't got the backing of his own Party to sack her

One of starmers best PMQ takedowns.

One of starmers best PMQ takedowns.

Not many actually listen to his speeches, if they did they’d realises that the gulf is huge.

 

[BrianW]

Say to the court, it glows
And shines like rotten wood;
Say to the church, it shows
What’s good, and doth no good.
If church and court reply,
Then give them both the lie.

Tell potentates, they live
Acting by others’ action;
Not loved unless they give,
Not strong but by a faction.
If potentates reply,
Give potentates the lie.

Tell men of high condition,
That manage the estate,
Their purpose is ambition,
Their practice only hate.
And if they once reply,
Then give them all the lie.

(Sir Walter Raleigh.)

I keep hoping Cruella is a character made up by a very clever actor like Jonathan Pie.

Braverman is a real fucking thorn in the side of the Tories as the ERG puppet, and hopefully will just further frustrate their chances of staying in government.

A fucking odious individual !

I keep hoping Cruella is a character made up by a very clever actor like Jonathan Pie.

Watch Mel Brooks’ ‘High Anxiety’ and Cloris Leachman’s brilliant character, Nurse Diesel.
Possibly a bit of inspiration for braverman?

People who know, know. What the likes of Braverman know is worth nothing to nobody, derision and hate is her only practice.

You don't even need to have experienced those things yourself you just need to have the tiniest bit of imagination and some empathy i.e a basic bit of humanity; sadly something that she is clearly devoid of.
