You’re a strange one. 
 

I re-used your reference to curate’s egg (in the correct context) and YOU have to google its meaning. 
 

I have struggled to understand your posts of late, either you’re at some sort of Ninja warrior grade of obscure sarcasm or you’ve been at the rum ration. 
 

Keep up the good work ?

No grog here. We've not all benefited from her majesty's education quite like we should've. If you see a bollox post by me, give me a WTF and I'll do it long ways. I'll spare us a wall of text on the egg ?

Hoisted by her own petard....

 

Moral hypocrisy will do that....

 

If it’s good for a welder from Burnley, it’s good for an MP. Maybe she should be booted out completely, I bet she laughed at the Burnley boy losing his job. How’d ya like them onions....

Now yr quoting Bay City Rollers.... can I have the drugs yr evidently on   !!!   K

Blood transfusion required?
I just googled curate's egg.
US definition obviously cannot account for irony
I was referring to your news feeds being like rotten eggs!
All news is bad except when it's the other side that takes a prat fall. Then it's good in parts, no?

Just reminded me Sutton, I need to drop a pint in now.   K

I watched the RLB thing develop on Twitter in real time.

 

Absolutely ridiculous of course, totally unreasonable sacking, but there you go, what’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

All good here cock, don't do mix matching, that would be wrong. But you can marry a lass from the north Midlands.

I bet you were (maybe still are?) singing it in your head though K.....

 

Id go ½ a bet you belted it out loud too ?

Too young, never heard of the Bay City Rollers, I'll ask my older brother about them when we next speak.

Or, in current speak, what’s good for the welder is good for the gobshite!
 

It has been amusing listening to all the commentary and sanctimonious justifications for the lad from Burnley infamy getting the sack in the AM, followed by a round of outraged cries of injustice and grandstanding By the same / similar cohort in the PM when the tables turned. 
 

Apart from 1 being aerial and the other being digital, there’s not much between the examples. 
 

As for mitigating factors, one was a young private individual expressing a view, the other was a member of the shadow cabinet, an erstwhile potential leader of HM’s opposition - potentially, (nah, never happen) PM - redistributing unfounded allegations of nation state liability for the murder of a foreign national. 
 

One loses their job and likely faces a very uncertain future, the other gets a sideways move. 
 

Is it any wonder politicians are getting such a bad press. 
 

(OK, for balance, Jenrick appears to be on a dodgy wicket too but I haven’t seen his 1 hr explanation from yesterday yet so I’ll keep the powder dry on that one for the time being)

 

Plus state of emergency on the South coast and riots in Brixton last night - Brexit seems such a dull and distant subject now)

Yeah well the bloody world has gone mad, maybe it always was.

 

Head down, get your victories where you can, you’re free to say what you like, but there’s a difference between spending 10 years in a gulag, or a bullet in your head and losing your job/friends.
