Anyone of any political persuasion who is prepared to join in, eschew goadery, and enjoy a laugh, welcome. First drinks are on the house.

Morning all

OMG that broadcast is one of the most inspired pieces of comms I've seen in a while. Well done Conservatives and Boris. I would really love to know if they came up with that before or after the Hugh Grant PR (I would guess before as I have also used that exact technique for some of my own comms this year). However Hugh has given them an early Christmas gift with his campaigning.

FFS re the photo of the boy on the floor - and yes I would imagine he had been briefed not to dwell on it whilst they were fact checking. He must be knackered and that's probs why he just took the phone without thinking that was a bit weird...

megan yes I agree experiences of non-UK hospitals are purely anecdotal, but also helpful to add to the convo for those of us who have lived overseas. I will add that my one experience of A&E in the UK when I broke my foot, was fast and efficient. I was plastered at 3am and then the next day came back to the fracture clinic and was put in a boot, and then 12 weeks after that I had a fully working foot again. So I can't complain about that either.

What will today bring - I have just had a look at that Welsh polling. Most interesting. People need to get out and vote now, I really hope no-one is being complacent.

I'll have a filter coffee and a sausage in a barm this morning please.

Why bother with boring stuff like verification when you can just post stuff and morons will lap it up because they want it to be true? Job done.

True Arse.

It's not the first time the Mirror have done something like this though - they ran with the faked torture pics as well.

Nice to see that you're not just applying blinkered 'Tories are cunts' response to this like usual, and you're actually questioning the Mirror's veracity in this.

DustyDiamond · 10/12/2019 07:08

FWIW, I'm a doctor

Are you?!
You've never mentioned it before

DustyDiamond · 10/12/2019 07:09

Morning all btw! Brew✊🥀🙏🕯

Random18 · 10/12/2019 07:32

twattage - they maybe got it from a Labour candidate

I won't be retweeting it - but Boris Johnson has copied my #ElectionActually video.

Tanks. On. The. Lawn.

Don't share his version in outrage - instead, share my original version.

It's us versus Cummings, Johnson, Trump and Farage - retweet this and spread the word! t.co/vuC26bWlcy

Saw it weeks ago.

Random18 · 10/12/2019 07:33

I've copied a tweet above btw - apologies for not making it clear

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 10/12/2019 07:42

“FWIW, I'm a doctor

Are you?!

✋🙈😂😂😂

“Is this Ben Elton?”

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 10/12/2019 07:48

“I won't be retweeting it - but Boris Johnson has copied my #ElectionActually video.”

But who wore it better?

#BorisActually.

DustyDiamond · 10/12/2019 07:53

But who wore it better?

Dr Rosena's version was excellent tbf, I also saw it way back when it was released

But BJ's is inspired - mostly because Hugh Grant has been swinging his bollocks around everywhere for the past week, so it's top trolling as well as funny & clever - and for me, that's the clincher

So, in summary:

#BorisForTheWinActually

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 10/12/2019 08:08

New MRP poll today right?

😬😬😬😬😬

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 10/12/2019 08:10

Let’s hope there’s no random babies on hospital ward armchairs to distract us...

Oh, but hang on...

Morning, All!

There may be heavy rain and blustery wind out there but here in the Arms, the fire blazes in the snug and radiates gentle warmth through to the bar. Leave your umbrellas in the stand near the door and join us for the Arms' legendary complimentary breakfast. This morning, it's eggs sunny side up and Cumberland or Lincolnshire sausages with mounds of buttery toast and lashings of tea or coffee.

After a bumpy start yesterday, our runners and riders are jockeying for position as they near the home straight. The bookies’ favourite, Blue Christmas, maintains its lead at 1/5 while the challenger Corbynski veers to the left at a steady Trot down to 33/1. Rank outsider Head Girl Jo, flounders at 500/1 and appears to be facing the wrong direction altogether.

Betting closes at 10pm Thursday.

Ahem.

“The barmy arms.”

Singing, thanks for the breakfast, small request though.

Can I have some Tory Toast, generously spread with babies please?

SingingLily · 10/12/2019 09:12

Tory Toast? Well buttered with molto choices of topping. We like the freedom of choice!

Labour Toast? State-made, hard as rock, thinly smeared, and the only choice is like it or lump it.

By the way, that weekend I spent in Havana? Very instructive on how Socialism Truly Works for the Few and for the Many. I'll be back later with more once I've fed the cats.
