If I eat a jaffa cake every time Theresa May says 'strong and stable' between now and the GE, how many stone will I gain in weight taking into account that I do minimal exercise?

Don't ask Dianne Abbott to work it out

:o

I was going to but I thought she would think about it for so long before answering that I would just inhale an entire packet.

Hmmmmmm ahhhhhhh hmmmmm

Ok, taking onto consideration the number of calories in an average Jaffa Cake multiplied by each television appearance of TM on the campaign trail in a remote village hall filled only with Tory activists, I calculate you will become morbidly obese.

If x+jaffa cakes = TM find the value of Dianne Abbot - Trump. Extra marks for a quadratic equation involving Marine La Penne.

Grace Obese enough to get a video channel where people pay to watch me eat Jaffa cakes?

Bear in mind that TM's visit to the Cornwall Dive place today ended up with Journo's being locked in a room by the Downing Street heavies for filming her. So I'm not sure I'll have enough 'soundbites' to qualify for a 'feeding channel'. Which is disappointing.

I do love Jaffa cakes.

From a political stance "Strong and Stable" has to bear more weight than "Weak and Fickle" doesn't it?

MycatsaPirate · 02/05/2017 22:12

Thanks Elephant That's now perfectly clear.

But what about JC? Will he have any impact on this equation?

I don't know how much you will weigh but you will cause a national Jaffa Cake shortage which is most unreasonable.

BusyBeez99 · 02/05/2017 22:13

Not sure but I know he knows what 100% is

MycatsaPirate · 02/05/2017 22:13

True Penny Who wants a weak and fickle wafer when you can have a strong and stable Jaffa cake?

Millie I may be willing to share. I shall have to think of suitable conditions to sharing though. I am not that kind.

According to R4 this afternoon, 'Word of Mouth', you only have to repeat things lots of times eg ' Tax Relief' and 'Lock her Up', or get people to finish sentences for you to get elected, so this is what TM is doing.

BusyBeez99 · 02/05/2017 22:17

I'm going to have a glass of wine every time Emily Thornberry says 'you know' in an interview. Maybe I should spend the next month not leaving the house due to amount of alcohol I will consume

MycatsaPirate · 02/05/2017 22:19

I think it may be backfiring slightly judging by the endless memes of daleks on Westminster bridge shouting 'strong and stable.

That's a bloody good idea busy. You become an alcoholic and I'll get obese.

Win-win.

In the case of JC, I think divine intervention is a long way off in this election. Oh Jeremy, I had forgotten about him

Exactly! Wafers are very over rated these days - I must admit I am partial to a pink panther wafer biscuit on the odd occasion though ;)

And post of the year goes toooooo! Priceless hehe!

Orlantina · 02/05/2017 22:33

Will you and your team be eating it?

Have you got a strong hand to negotiate the packet?

Witchend · 02/05/2017 22:33

If you listen to politics that much you'll probably lose it all again through stress.

BusyBeez99 · 02/05/2017 22:34

Thanks stilly 😂

I heard that. And thought of the Maybot.

The word is brainwashing.

You won't gain any so long as you run to the bottom of the garden and back every time she says " coalition of Chaos"
