I wonder if the Tories are going to find themselves at the end of the blame chain that Labour are putting on Farright for Brexit ?

Here we go again, smelling fabulous. Double cat tax just because.

Thanks for the new thread @DuncinToffee.
Cat tax provided.

He's not my cat, he's a bit of a thug who spends his life outside my house looking threatening and behaving badly. Haven't seen him hanging any flags up yet though...

Cat tax paid.

Interesting allegation by Gavin Williamson at the Covid inquiry about shutting schools in January 2021 was largely attention seeking.

I'd want him as my bodyguard.

Thanks for the new thread. Just in from book club so smelling of fresh air from the walk home.
Here’s my tax - my daughter’s cat, temporarily covering for her working from home.

Thanks for the new thread.

Tax paid in the way of a photo taken where a rainbow appeared at just the ends on a sunny day (no rain) as must have been moisture in the air! I love what you can see just by taking a walk.

Reminds me how beautiful the world really is.

Our overstretched court system is being held up so muppet can go on a jolly. Another example of the wealthy (or those backed by them)getting away with shit.

Champion of justice my arse.
