Oh no pointy.

Can he get a copy from the insurer? I'm guessing he's still in America which I'm sure isn't the best place to struggle finding insurance docs.

RafaistheKingofClay · 14/08/2024 08:57

Nightmare, pointy.

Yes, he's still there. Realistically he should be able to find the policy docs as they get emailed out, so let's hope he's just flustered.

I don't know why anyone would think Liz Truss has anything worthwhile to say. She's just an ex MP now.

Meanwhile in other news, DS has had a fall and is in the ER. And he can't find his insurance docs on his phone.

Oh no! Hope he is OK.

At least in the US there is no language barrier do they will be able to help him more easily.

Evenstar · 14/08/2024 09:19

Hope he can get it sorted out quickly @pointythings what a worry.

Thought this was a good summary of Musk’s intervention in the American elections

The bits of the Trump-Musk interview that I've read about made me think of the Philomena Cunk TV programmes - except it would be Cunk interviewing Cunk, what with Trump and his "nuclear warming" and Musk pontificating the danger from increased CO2 is that we'd all suffocate. "God preserve us from rich, stupid men" is my prayer for today.

SerendipityJane · 14/08/2024 09:51

I honestly cannot believe the brass neck of Liz Truss to think anyone cares what such a spectacular loser would think of her opinion on anything. She is clearly still living on planet Truss and hasn't breathed the real air for a while.

It is also painfully obvious how much clear water is developing between Farage - who can at least claim the mantle of winning an election - and Trump. But then grifter radar must be super tuned to pick up lost causes.

So many odd bits from that interview that I’ve heard. Musk claiming dropping nuclear bombs wasn’t terrible because Hiroshima and Nagasaki are doing well now. So it’s not as scary as people think. Trump claiming that you can’t sell cars to Europe in an interview with Elon Musk. That will be news to anyone with a Tesla.

Donald lisping and slurring his way through the entire interview.

Truss was promoting her book

DuncinToffee · 14/08/2024 10:00

Truss was promoting her book

"Anatomy of a failure", "Mistakes I Made", "How To Lose Trillions and Influence People in an Unintended Manner " ?

Anything else is disingenuous at least and dishonest at most.

RafaistheKingofClay · 14/08/2024 10:16

I think ‘Mistakes were made, but not by me’ is more her style.

DuncinToffee · 14/08/2024 10:18

She has given herself 10 years to save the west

Anyone else collect evidence of how thick (I will use that word again - thick) people are ?

BustingBaoBun · 14/08/2024 10:20

Sorry to hear that pointy... we all know what it's like to be desperately searching for something on a phone and not finding it, hope he can locate it soon.

Thank you Rafa for linking that video. I didn't sleep last night (bit worried about something, it's always worse in the night) and it was a treat to watch it on a loop a number of times and almost laugh myself to sleep!
Truss is completely deluded, and I loved the flounce so much!

These 2 Plymouth rioters have been convicted of 209 previous offences + they told the police they were rioting because immigrants cost the taxpayer too much money.

Judge Linford made them work out how much their offending had cost Britain's taxpayers over the last 38 years.

We need more of this. Seriously. Show the world these are thick twats and they will quickly fall back into the slime from when they came.

Also, thanks to the fact the UK has always been a sovereign nation, prisoners still can't vote. So they have lost their say for a while.

Awesome.

It is indeed.
And DS has found his policy docs, and they've been accepted. It's a bad sprain.

Inflation rate rises for first time this year to 2.2%

I am sure Sunak is having a lovely time in California.

But I thought they were all decent working class people who have been ground down by unfettered immigration?

Odd how so many have previous.

Really glad he found the documents Pointy hopefully the sprain heals quickly & he can enjoy the rest of his holiday.
bravo that judge.

Notonthestairs · 14/08/2024 11:11

I'm sure they were making a political statement...

Pleased to read your update about the documents pointy although the sprain sounds painful.

I, for one, did not and do not buy this crock that these are in any way remotely representative of the person on the Clapham Omnibus.

And it's a shame our supposedly competent press (who really have a lot more to answer for than this) couldn't do some basic fucking journalism before they decided to print the headline. Because as we all know, that's what people will remember.

These are thugs, criminals and scum. And when cornered (Putins rat) they lash out and try and deflect their bestiality on some other group. Ideally one that has no voice.

Sorry I don't buy what the Mail, Express etc are selling. Not that I ever did.

I wish the article went on to say how they reacted!
