DON'T BOTHER FEEDING THE KIDS: SECURE YOUR PLACE ON THE SECURITY COUNCIL INSTEAD
After all, I dare say Osborne's kids aren't going to go without food, nor are Cameron nor Willie the prince's, so why waste money on children's food when you could be ensuring perfect facilities for your weapons of mass destruction and securing your place at the top table so you can carry on the pretence that you matter.
Mind you, I think that the notion that Scotland will be a part of the UK in 2067 is beyond farcical and if I'm right you'll have to find a new place to store your murderous junk, because it sure as hell won't be here.
I suspect in any case, that nuclear submarines may well be a thing of the past long before that.
They will look back at the dockyard, and how they will laugh at you.
Nice to know the towel folder is getting his priorities right.
ReplyDeleteThe Tarff Advertiser has a good post, on the Trident pig in a poke, the Americans aren't replacing them, so why the hell is Westmonster?
I saw that. Still they sell them to the Brits so i suppose they might as well get the money and then tell them they are obsolete.
DeleteWould you leave him in charge of folding towels?
I'd make sure there was someone there to supervise him.
I used to comment on one English paper that I noticed Mr Osborne's Daddy never gave him a position in his firm. now I wonder why? After all Georgie/Gideon is allowed to manage the economy but given both he an Gordon had history degrees where else would he be.
DeleteHelp, my comment disappeared! Just saying that, given the choice, the vast majority of the electorate would choose the money being spent on children's welfare rather than WMD although reading some of the comments on the Hootsmon and Telegraph sites it seems that a fair number would rather children perish than give up on the charade of the UK being a world power. Of course they never give reasons as to what advantage being a world power brings to anyone apart from the arms industry and the Tory/Labour chums.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, where are my old chums, Conan and Niko. Hope they are both well!
I think the people who profit mos from this "world power" fallacy are the top politicians. Nonentities like Philip Hammond get to stand next to the Secretary of State, agreeing with everything he says
DeleteEveryone except them knows that it is a farce, and most thinking folk are laughing like drains at them. Meanwhile nothing works here, (and Mrs Lamont might be interested that they are cutting cancer drugs in England, after she made such an almighty fuss about one drug unavailable in Scotland).
Conan drops in from time to time, with a Latin phrase or two :)
Niko hasn't been in for a week or so, and that's when I start to worry about him.
Shout out to Niko. Are you there?
Quid quid latinae dictum set, altrum sonar...
DeleteConan, indeed it does.
DeleteI don't speak Latin but I know enough about computers to find out what you said.

DeleteA select bunch.

ReplyDeleteThey live in a fairy wonderland where everyone they see eats well, sleeps in a warm bed, and have the best of everything. We will also all have to avoid the TV today as it will be wall to wall superwoman Windsor, how without her we would be living in the dark ages. F me Talk Sport just reported on our beloved Queen, where do they get these people. Hate this country.
Bruce
It must be difficult to imagine squalor if you were born in a large house, and grew up never going without anything, went off to Eton, St Paul's or Harrow, with a load of other people with so much money that they couldnt count it, then went to Oxford and could afford to mix with the types that went to the Bullingdon Club and had massive pull with the authorities becasue daddy had restocked the vintage port cellar of your college.
DeleteOf course with that background only the stupidest could fail to get a job on leaving university.
I imagine that they use every single anniversary they can get to praise the queen because it takes the minds of the not too bright away from the poverty they live in.
Husband always mentions one of the "ahem" Royals commenting whilst on the train, did people actually live in the houses they were passing, and if there was difficulty getting to school could they not just take a taxi. Yes those who live in the great metropolis which is England's capital city have a great deal of difficulty in imagining how the great unwashed manage.
DeleteTris Tell Bruce not to turn on the box/radio today or he will be terribly sick. I am okay, we have Amazon, worth every extra penny it is.
I've avoided the sycophancy today, Helena.
DeleteCongratulations to her on her father dying early and her living to a ripe old age.
It's not really an achievement. She probably wishes her dad would have lived longer, but I imagine she's in no rush to die herself... it';s all been fate rather than anything else.
But the normal culprits have been butt licking in the normal way.
Not my kind of thing.
Incidentally, I was in St Andrews this afternoon, and there is actually a café, not far form the History of Art Building where they advertise that William met Katherine for coffee.
DeleteI wanted to throw up.
That's one café I'll never visit, for sure.
The weapons of mass destruction are aimed against potential enemies fedd your own brats ,it's not the taxpayers responsibility
ReplyDeleteQuite happy to feed my own brats, thank you. Not so happy to feed the Queen's brats and various other parasites too numerous to mention. Would you watch children starve in order for little Britain to pretend to be a world power. The present day enemies are certainly not going to be deterred by Trident, are they?
DeleteIt's okay Anonymouse, I managed to avoid kids because people like you inhabit the earth.
DeleteAye Anon, but the potential enemies they are aimed at are not necessarily ours. They are expensive baubles which we don't control the targeting of, nor have the means to fire without the real owners permission.
DeleteIf we did indeed have weapons made in this country, controlled by this country, and independently operated by this country ( like France has say ), then there may be some point to them ( employment, technological knowhow, etc ). But all they are is expensive christmas decorations which can blow up at any minute taking Glasgow with them. The only chance they'll get of hitting an enemy of ours is if Uncle Sam lets us play with them.
The empire is over. It was over when Uncle Sam decided they would prefer a world dominated by Washington rather than London. Forget the rosy nostalgia. America looks to its own interest first, solely, and exclusively. It suits them to have the old Imperial power firmly in their pocket, and if that means renting them a few toys for show, well so be it.
Yeah, WMDs stop potential enemies attacking, didn't work so well for America, 9/11 ring any bells. They are of no use to anyone, a penis extension for an impotant ex-empire.
DeleteYou sir are a pimple, atop the boil, on the arse of an idiot.
Anon: Basically a silly and naive post. Answered by other readers very effectively, I think.
DeleteIf you think you sound smart, you're wrong.
So you still imagine that it's the responsibility of taxpayers to pay for the upkeep of other children ,what more do you want on top of child allowances ,tax credits and the rest ?
DeleteIt's called the welfare state, some day you may need it too.
DeleteWe need them to have roofs over their heads; we need them to have food and we need them to be warm and dry.
DeleteAnyone who would deny any kid that isn't much of a human.
To all the "anonymous" posters, I understand that you do not want to be identified, but could you sign off with some sort of consistent identifier, say a letter or a number?
ReplyDeleteI can tell, one has reasoned arguments, and the other is a fool, but it does get confusing; especially with multiple posts and responses from others.
Thank you.
Be fair Jim, Bruce and others do pop their names on the bottom.
DeleteIt's not Bruce etal, it's the anonymous anonymous, if you get my drift Helena, it can be confusing.
DeleteYes. I know that some don;t know how to set up an account with Blogger, and some have specific reasons for not wanting to post under their names, but I agree with Jim. It is really helpful if you're posting anonymously to give yourself a handle.
DeleteMakes it so much easier when there are two or three posting as Anon... and of course it doesn't have to be your own name.
Joe McBloggs will do... :)... Well, not for everyone obviously.
