The Westminster Arms:
A non-partisan politics pub-thread for varied political chit-chat & other such stuff

Cheers all 🍷

I don't fear coronavirus because we always wear hazmets in house and put stilts on our feet to protect our cream carpets.

“Do you add it to your thrice daily towel wash too Epic?”

Thrice hourly you mean obvs?

Haven't watched the gove interview but v happy to hear that all the fishingy noises are right, not just from Boris. Time to shift my attention to farmers and working out what they need to thrive outside the CAP

It's definitely not mould, don't worry, Sally.

Mildew. It's very distinctive. And it keeps coming back.

Fortunately, the LL got cases of Zoflora in from the suppliers. We won't run short.

“I don't fear coronavirus because we always wear hazmets in house and put stilts on our feet to protect our cream carpets.”

And DON’T under ANY circumstances leave the sheets out overnight to get darked on!!!! 😱

Oh I saw that Silvery. Blind date. They'd had one before a few years ago.

BBC News showed a piece about Rachel Johnson having dinner with Nigel Farage

Jeezo, Silvery, that would be the dinner party from hell.

“BBC News showed a piece about Rachel Johnson having dinner with Nigel Farage”

😂😂😂

Ahhh Sir Static & Lady Nugee, the king and queen of the liberal elite. If I where to ask them a question...

"Have you ever met a white working class person who flies an English flag & drives a white van? and do you know what they think about Labour?"

Blind date. They'd had one before a few years ago.

Glad that relationship didn't go anywhere. Boris and Nige, brothers-in-law?

Quote below taken from an article in the Telegraph by Andrew Roberts, Churchill's biographer, refuting the idea that Churchill would have been in favour of us being in the EU. Yes, Churchill was pro- Europe - he drank champagne, he took long holidays in France. He was anti-EU.

In November 1951, the newly re-elected premier told his Cabinet that the British attitude towards economic integration, “resembles that which we adopt about the European Army. We help, we dedicate, we play a part, but we are not merged with and do not forfeit our insular or Commonwealth character. It is only when plans for uniting Europe take a federal form that we ourselves cannot take part, because we cannot subordinate ourselves or the control of British policy to federal authorities.”

(Having a great command of the English language, WSC was using 'insular' with its proper, literal meaning of 'being an island'.)

I have a theory, that Nige’s next gig, as disruptor in chief, will be to head off to the next ‘brexitty’ EU country to advise.... can you imagine if he ended up back in the EU parliament on a different team altogether? 😱😱🚨😂😂🤦🏻‍♀️

She asked Nige whether he could sleep with a remainer. Awkward.

Dangling his big Brexitty Carrot 🥕 all over Europe...

🤢😂

Lily borax?

"If Britain must choose between Europe and the open sea, she must always choose the open sea".

Yes, Churchill knew exactly the meaning of words and used them like precision tools.

We are an island.

“She asked Nige whether he could sleep with a remainer. Awkward”

😳😳😳

Borax?

I'll try anything if it will get rid of the persistent beggar, Autumn

Lily I think it’s supposed to help prevent it as well as killing it.

Memories from rented flats and asthma!

can you imagine if he ended up back in the EU parliament on a different team altogether?
Now that would be epic!!!

Sorry, Autumn, but that really made me LOL and now I can't think of a reply...

Silvery I cannot imagine how toe curling that set up would have been.

She's so patronising, the way she spoke to people when she did that family swap thing. She cooked them '' good food ''.

Trying to imply her incredibly wealthy dc have had their futures stolen.

I like Boris dad though... He seems good fun.
I don't know how Farage has kept his temper half the time off really don't.

He's done so well.

Hilarious if he went to help Italy or Greece.

I feel he has done his time. Remarkable character.

Mary I really like Andrew Roberts.
I am sure I will saw him in a local pub once.... A really really old gorgeous local pub, standing by the fire place. I've always enjoyed reading what he has to say.

David Starkey is another historian aghast at recent events.

Lily you can even buy it from a company called Big Green Smile 😂

Sally I’ve had the misfortune of bring aghast by Starkey, in person.

Not a euphemism.
