First off, comrade Hilda has been busy in the propaganda dept! Praise be to Hilda! The dear leader will appreciate and reward your efforts with a cushy job in the newly opened Ministry of Bullshit. ✊🥀

Specials board.

⭐️ Snacks.

•Salty Bar nuts
(we always have too many)

•Marrow crisps,
I know you all hate them, but we had a glut and needed to do something with them. 🤷🏻‍♀️😬

⭐️ Mains.

A festive choice of...

•’Properly Stuffed’ “Christmas voting” Turkey.

•Festive Glazed Gammons.

•Goose that laid the Gilded socialist egg.

•’Whigs’ in blankets.

•Sauce for the Goose and Sauce for the Gander

•Brussels’ sprouts.
Divisive, yet still popular in some quarters...

•Neeps and tatties.
Grown in Corbyn’s Communist plot and kindly gifted back to us by the SNP.

⭐️Festive Drinks.

•Rebecca’s long Baileys.
Seems nice enough, but can be vicious if you have too much.

•Corbyn’s Victory Gin.
State sanctioned by big brother.

•Bag in, artisan Earl Grey Cocktail.
A Boris election special.

•Red flag Rum.
for the singing socialists among us.

•Egg nog.
Gifted by Trump. Sticks in your throat a bit, but it’s polite to drink it and pretend to half enjoy it anyway.

•The #ClassicDmitri.
Shaken and stirred. A Russian Vodka based Cocktail, shrouded in mystery and intrigue. No one really knows how it came to exist, but all we know is, that it might have happened. Somewhere. And now it’s on the menu. Enjoy!

⭐️Desserts.

•Imported Panettone.
Get it fast, I’m reliably informed we will never ever have it again post Brexit.

•Traditional Christmas pudding.
have a good look for that old fashioned sixpence inside, we might need it when all the money runs out.

•Damson jam steamed pudding.
I’m told by the suppliers, that It’s like the infamous Mumsnet chicken, we can get eleventy billion servings from it and still have more for the freezer.

As always, welcome to all who pass through this place, but, as ever please observe the sign above the bar. If you can’t read it. It says...

DON’T BE A TWAT.

🎄 🌟 🎁 🍸 🥜 🦃 🎅

Hi all - have lurked before on this and read quite a lot about 6 Months ago but don’t think I posted back (unless having a senior moment which is possible Smile)
I came back to see whether any reality had hit at all - and it hasn’t. You are all in same place (by the sounds of it all relatively comfortable and sure that brexit won’t affext your lives at all and happy to be rather unkind to those it will).
Like nice Boris who promised that EU citizens would have an automatic right to remain - and i have just been supporting a friend through the process - she had nothing through for weeks and then had to call daily until it finally came through. Her whole life is based in the UK now
But like all of you - my how we laughed and it was such fun !!!!!

Anyway enjoy the brexit arms - I am out and about this pm talking to the majority of people who whether brexit or remain don’t think it is all going to be a giggle.
And I will listen to those who don’t share my view because my experience so far is that most people are still interested In Facts and reality.
Have fun all of you and keep drinking - bubbles are so much more fun than reality !!!!

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 07/12/2019 13:36

“Anyway enjoy the brexit arms”

We do. Thanks.

Milkyway - so our only fish is whiting and sand eels? And to what countries do we export these to please?

I understand some of our langoustine and crab fetch a premium in some countries, so can appreciate their export value for UK fishermen, but what about all the other fish that gets exported - can't we eat them?

Here's an OJ for you, in my appreciation for explaining how the fishing industry 'works' to my ignoramus self.

Milkywayfan · 07/12/2019 13:39

Off to meet real people trying to change the world. And will stick to mumsnet here for parenting advice (lots of people don’t agree with me on that but I always listen and learn Smile

Gosh, I'm having to race through lots of posts that I've missed since Thursday evening while I've been prostrate with norovirus. Don't ask. Not nice.

I like Douglas Murray too. Waiting for this year's book (on identity) to appear in paper back.

I'm only drinking fizzy water and eating dry toast today.

I wondered where you had got to, Xing. Sorry you've been unwell. Hope you are definitely on the mend now.

BelleHathor · 07/12/2019 14:05

Flowers Xing get well soon!
Great ad by the Conservatives on YouTube, their social media game has been on point this election #mememagic 😂m.youtube.com/watch?v=FPjkTCQh3RM

GreenishMe · 07/12/2019 14:07

Was Milkyway seriously stressing about fishfingers?? I think everyone's slowly losing the plot (me included).

But why are they acting like it's the countdown to Armegeddon? It's getting a bit ridiculous now.

XingMing · 07/12/2019 14:07

We have wonderful fish here, even squid last Tuesday but only the salmon comes from another country (organically farmed from Scotland). It's not just sand eels and whiting; almost all the spider crab goes to France and Spain, along with much of the other prime white/flat fish. Huge articulated lorry loads go to France and Spain from Plymouth and Poole daily. The French and Spanish fleets do not want to to lose access to our fishing waters, because our fish is superior and their waters have been plundered.

SingingLily · 07/12/2019 14:08

Probs won’t see this in the guardian or the indy.

That link, Epic Shock.

I was musing on how the Security Services would react if Jezza was handed the keys to No. 10. Fortunately, someone I know 😉 handed me an unconfirmed transcript of the call.

MI5 (on a secure and encrypted line, natch): "Cheltenham, we have a problem".

GCHQ: "We know, but don't worry. It's all under control. Carry on as normal. We have it covered".

MI5: "But you know what Sir Richard Dearlove said: that if Jeremy Corbyn was applying to join any of this country’s security services – MI5, GCHQ or MI6 – he would not be cleared to do so. He would be rejected by the vetting process".

GCHQ: "Yep, but we are implementing Operation Double-It-And-Add-30 forthwith and escalating it straight away to DefCon1".

MI5: "You mean....?"

GCHQ: "Exactly. We'll tell him the truth but in numerical code. He'd never believe us anyway, and let's face it, he's not known for being that bright. As long as we stick to numerical codes, he'll get them all muddled up and ask Diane to decipher and explain it all to him. Diane will take care of the rest".

MI5: "Phew! You really have thought of everything. Just one question, though. Is Diane, erm, one of yours?"

GCHQ: "You might well think that. I couldn't possibly comment..."

Transcript ends.

Now we are all chatting at the bar can someone please explain about Russia.
I remember claims that Russia interfered with the EU referendum and the last election.
Now apparently documents leaked by Jeremy Corbyn are also fake news from Russia.
Is Russia working on behalf of the Tories or Labour or just trying to cause chaos and destabilise Britain?

SingingLily · 07/12/2019 14:16

If I had to make an educated guess, Dapplegrey, I'd say this -

or just trying to cause chaos and destabilise Britain?

Nicky Morgan has warned about being alert to Russian interference in our democratic processes and to be wary of using material when you don't really know the provenance or source.

That silliness about the fishfingers reminds me of something at work the other day......the CEO, who is a very intelligent woman, was telling some of the young girls that if we leave the EU there won't be bananas in the shops anymore because they'll all have gone off by the time they reach the UK!

I mean it's just mad the way people are overreacting.
