Boris and Psycho Dom going for the 2 letters plan.
Have they hired Baldrick as a consultant?

Is Psycho Dom an optional boss?
Also, where is Beadle?

this 2 letters thing really is one of the dumbest things I’ve heard.

If you’re ever using something Chris Grayling has done as your basis for your work then that’s the point you should consider resigning.

I know we take the piss out of Ugo Monye but at least he writes his own stuff.

A superb example of cut n paste shrugging, the emptiness of words and the void where principles should be.
Yet it can all be excused and made right by a tweet.
I despair and it makes me heartsick.

@OT – so we need a winger faced with the need to write an article who decides to rip off an old Ugo one?
I think Shane might be the man for the job, but I’m sure there are other candidates too.

@Ticht – though it got a laugh from me the thing there is that Farage isn’t particularly fazed. I suppose he’s prepared for anyone saying almost anything – a genuine story from a supporter who really had had a Damascene moment could have had a punchline that was far more difficult for him to handle!
LikeLike
CMW, I jut posted it for the laugh.
To be fair to Farage, and that is not something I thought I’d ever write, he does crack half a smile
LikeLike
Yeah – I liked the joke. Just can’t be doing with the “I pranked him good” attitude given that the answer to the question “and how did he handle it?” would have to be “very well actually, didn’t really fall for it, smiled and moved on”.

Johnson displays a complete lack of shame, lack of honour, lack of empathy. He knows exactly what effect his language has and he uses it deliberately, he uses it to stoke the “people versus establishment” long con that he and others are running.

SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon:
“As of tonight, there’s a gaping moral vacuum where the office of Prime Minister used to be.
“I didn’t know Jo Cox but I’m certain this man is not fit to speak her name”.

Wee Nicola’s no’ perfect, but she’s shown that she’s more of a caring and statesmanlike (stateswomanlike?) politician than the last three Prime Minsters put together. I mean, May was useless but she at least gave the occasional impression of being almost competent at her job, unlike the current idiot.

Apparently Mhairi Black asked Johnson if he stocked up on Brasso for his neck.

Well let’s hope that when the time comes there are plenty of former Tory voters who can’t stomach all this kind of crap and are prepared to put their cross elsewhere (or not turn out). I’ll believe it when I see it though.

Ardron needed to draw the tackle not take it, which meant butterfingers checked his run so was a bit off balance. Still butterfingers though.

Ardron’s ability to draw his man and give the pass seems to have regressed as a result of leaving the Ospreys and going to NZ. Surprising.
