Thread 3 Burnham: Receso para reorganizarse

[BIossomtoes]

Welcome to our long running thread for political discussion, general chit chat, a friendly hug and taxes in kind. 💐🍦 for anyone who needs them.

New PM, new thread title, the discussion continues from https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/_chat/5557787-thread-2-burnham-coragem-e-esperanca?page=1

May years ago, Charlie Brooker, in conversation with Richard Herring made the priceless comment:

"Doesn't it seem like the cunts have been rolling 6s for too long now ?"

Silly season, innit? And frankly the more, the better. Neither party’s coming up smelling of roses.

If Reform/Restore want to burn through their media tokens before their conferences, I'm not going to stop them.

It would be a shame if Trump (once again) did something that week to suck the oxygen out of their shindigs

He'll declare peace for the 41st time.

There's a by-election coming up on Thursday 13 August.

And for many of us a 90% partial eclipse of the sun on Wednesday 12th.

I'll be dead before the next 90% partial eclipse.

That I can agree with! I meant that the small boats were being given too much air time.

But if the end result is that both Reform and Restore implode, there will be no complaints from me.

Then throw a bomb 🤬

DS and I were discussing this today.

can’t decide whether to watch on the beach or up on Portsdown Hill.

I'll be by the canal close to my house. @itsgettingweird with friends and family. It's a perfect place for the setting sun.

🤣

If anyone’s on FB have a look at Stuart Thompson and his own letter to Clarkson re those of benefits having to email a thankyou letter weekly.

It’s bloody brilliant and I wholeheartedly agree with what he’s said about how society should work best.

I saw the 1999 at just over 93%.

You won't be missing much.

Have you got a link? Quite a few Stuart Thompsons on FB!

I just read that Rod Liddle is dead.

He’s a vile specimen. I don’t care how funny people find his stupid farm I shall never watch it. My tv wouldn’t be safe. Arsehole.

Clarkson can fuck off. Vile man.

Meanwhile, it’s my birthday today and I’m looking forward to a meal out with my DH this evening. It’s been tough coping with DD1’s meltdown during the break from college so we’re both in need of some time out.

I agree with you about Clarkson.

Happy birthday @LizzieW1969!
