I will look forward to adopting the ideas and perception of reality that is broadcast from the signal. A life of mindless trivia, sports, celebrity gossip, insecurities and material possessions are just a click away.   Grrrrr Jesus, it make me feel very superior now knowing all this is happening and I'm one of the few who don't watch TV. Edited July 26, 2021 by apelike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Ah, the lie on the bus. It's always the believers who are the last holdouts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It wasn't actually a lie. Shock horror: man pays £20 for penny chew.  Oh wait, that was the gross amount. He actually got £19.99 in change.

I understand one reason for not using the net amount is because the EU decided where some of the rebate amount was to be spent. The Tory government were not responsible for the leave campaign's actions.  If people now belive in what Cummings has stated recently then they will know the £350 figure on the bus was actually designed to enrage the remainers ino arguing amongst themselves and sow dissent among them. Seems to have worked as well as they still keep quoting it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

David Cameron's Tory government might not have been responsible for the leave campaign's actions but the members of Boris Johnson's Tory government very much were.

It's not just that there are such members though. Boris has chosen MPs to be part of the government based on on their support for brexit rather than how suitable they are for the job he gives them - even for posts that have nothing to do with implementing brexit.

Very difficult for the UK and we are some distance away from China, where this all started.  https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

We should all stick to being accurate in our descriptions of the incompetent, racist , dishonest, untruthful PM Johnson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
