I suspect the rishi version of the cartoon would be a gold plated bicycle chained upto one of those bike hoop things using a piece of bailer twine.

 

But doubt he can ride a bike, maybe a tandem with training wheels and just foot pegs at the back as it would be chauffeur riden.

[She] was atleast voted for by the party.

I find it very hard to comprehend just how dire things must be for Truss to be the least bad candidate. Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel.

 

I feel her article is essentially whiney sour grapes. The reason she failed to my mind is that she appears to be a total dimwit and comes over as a supercilious moron. I've never heard her say anything which doesn't make me cringe.

 

How on earth did British politics sink so deep on the cesspool? I don't think there's a single politician of any persuasion I'd give the time of day to at the moment.

Simple, we've been ruled by Brussels for so long that it didn't really matter how bad or good they were.

 

But now we're moving more towards governing ourselves again, they're being shown up for being as hopeless as they are and have been for a long time.

 

All part of the re-adjustment.

Absolute Cnut, she miss read her own party, her own party brought her down. She’s blaming the left wing of her own party of bringing her down. Tw@t, nothing more, nothing less. Yet The Times still give her time.

You would still give her a portion eggs chance of a bit of posh totty for a working man 🤣

Ha, good grief. Of course it's discrimination against the others but it's a positive outcome for the person who got the job, hence the word 'positive'

Yes a positive out come for whoever got the job , thats all . Not positive discrimination . Discrimination is not a positive thing as far as I am concerned .

Some state schools have shite teachers mate.

It’s not all about your natural intelligence.

 

I was lucky, my state school had good ones.

 

Some private schools clearly have poor teachers as well.

A few of my posho mates were undiagnosed dyslexics pretty much until they left.

 

A posho mate down here is currently spending £80k/year on posho education for his kids.

He can well afford it, and they’re nice kids, coming along grand.

Very polite, maybe a bit precocious, but in a nice way?

 

It’s all about the connections, apparently.

 

I just think if you’ve got that kind of dollar your kids aren’t exactly going to fail in life, are they?

 

FWIW I very much doubt the RAF discriminate in any way on pilots jobs.

 

Best man (or woman) for the job, simple.

Ridiculous combination of brains, reflexes, vision, hand-eye coordination, mental strength, physical ability to withstand G’s, language skills etc.

 

They will just take the best.

They have to.

 

I applied and failed because my knob was too big to fit in the cockpit of a Eurofighter.

 

THAT’S positive discrimination Stubby!

I'm sorry to hear that you missed your calling mate. I'm sure it had everything to do with your massive appendage and nothing to do with asking squadron leader Cecil where do you put the empty stella cans.

But Eggs is that not the reaction they want you to have ?? Is it not the fact it was as another member has said it was the markets who brought her down ?? 
where are we now and who is making the big bucks ?? Banks, energy companies, arms manufacturers etc etc I could go on and on but the fact is big state high tax etc etc benefits the establishment far more than you or I. 

No, her and her mates actions took her down. Bye the way, you do go on and on.

That almost sounds like you can’t work me out.
