Imagine if ya could somehow mobilise idiots to actually do something that might benefit people in general ??  Ya wouldsn't want to spend too much time thinking about how to go about that though, probably be better off concentrating on more realistic things, like time travel and growing money trees






There's people trying to invent these and are always looking for funding to do it.  Money tree funds they are called.

That’s socialism!

I suppose I never really thought of it like that. Basically, all we need so is a socialist Zuckerburg, Dorsey & Murdoch. 

In the meantime, I'm just going to check if the money tree acorn has broken surface yet, and I'm making serious progress with the flux capacitor in the Hyundai Lantra. I'll be back to ya etc.

Underrated pun TJ, so far under the radar it might even escape the attention of some of the petulant stalkers knocking about here LOL

Favourite line of the Brexit celebrations came from the RTE news clip. Few neanderthals in the background being idiots behind the presenter shouting the usual brexiteer nonsense. Some fella shouts in the camera; "God Save the Queen....and Chelsea" LOL

Boris and Dom have f**ked up here I think even with a majority of 80. Javid and Smith on the backbenches will be interesting

Margaret Thatcher lost Nigel Lawson in 1989 in a row over...an adviser. She was gone in a year. No suggestion of such a personal danger to Boris Johnson here. But when a chancellor walks or is sacked - only cabinet departure that can pose immediate political danger to a PM

It just smacks of a loss of control, while conversely trying to gain it. Naturally wanting advisorial change would cause a rift.

It smacks of complete dictatorial control over No. 11. That's what it is. He's hired a Junior minister as the new Treasury who's going to be nothing but a complete yes man to Boris.


Julian Smith getting sacked is the more controversial sacking - Was only 2/3 weeks ago he negotiated the deal between SF/DUP to bring Stormont back.

Brandon "there'll be no border down the Irish sea' Lewis is the new SOS for NI. I thought for awhile they were going to go for Johnny HA.

FFS Lewis is a complete clown and a right wing ideologue. Jesus the people we have to deal with up here makes me want to puke. But then could be worse you guys have Michael Martin.

Brandon Lewis is about 1000 times worse than Micheal Martin.

Majella O'Hare who was shot 3 times in the back whilst walking home from mass by the British Army, her uncle is active on Twitter and constantly at Mercer, he refuses to respond only with his usual pro troops nonsense.

The North dodged a bullet there.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.
