Short trousers, cap and a right little paddy.
Is paddy one of the sweary filter ones that I missed?

Indeed. Mrs Ex says the same about life in The Philippines.
Interestingly, my late father often said of The UK family tradition..."it's not often you see young birds carrying worms to the old".

In fairness, it's the Germans trying to wipe out the Greek population for a second time.
(Little known fact. In the wars between 1942 and 1949, 600,000 Greeks died of starvation, the vast majority during the German occupation when everything the country produced was stolen to feed and clothe the occupiers. Much like today.)
Edit to answer your edit.
And if the Greeks were to pay some tax from time to time things might be a little better. You will know this.
That's a whole different can of worms. Let's sort this country out next week and I'll get back to you!
PS. True story. I got a thank you letter a few years ago from the Greek Ministry of Finance for paying 100% (of my declared) tax! I had it framed.

%Think of all the people 60+ who have worked and paid for 50 years or more, sometimes we paid more sometimes less as demanded by incumbents in power, but pay we did. Now you're saying we are not entitled to that which we largely paid for. Everyone gets old, even you one day. Worth noting I made the point being quite facicous as none of the measures noted are even remotely necessary if the government can just allocate funds properly. That being said; I appreciate that the elderly folk paid for the NHS during my first 18 years but given the expected extended life expectancies surely it would be unfair to expect future generations to pay greatly enhanced contributions over a longer period. After all, many of this pensioner generation has lived through 'the golden age'.  greatly enhanced is probably a smaller percentage than we paid, remember most people earned less then £25 a week then. |

Talk this morning of a hung parliament. Don't see it myself but even two weeks ago you'd never have imagined it. My take on it is that, even in these days of social media, alt-right propaganda and money talking, sound bites and photo opportunities in safe seats are no substitute for good old fashioned campaigning. (At Tranmere FC for example.) Remember that Corbyn has already taken part in (and won) two elections against all odds and in the face of some pretty vile opponents in the last couple of years. He has thousands of activists on the streets who are just starting to make their mark. Like a good distance runner they have timed it perfectly coming round the final bend. IMO the Tories have made two massive mistakes. One is underestimating Corbyn's personal appeal (policies and history aside if it suits you) as illustrated by his manhole covers and jar of jam last night, and the other is treating the electorate like mugs. Given the choice between a nice fella, a decent human being who genuinely cares about people and a vile trollop who very obviously doesn't give a toss about anything except preserving the status quo and its tightening stranglehold on every aspect of our everyday lives, I place my trust in the British people to take a bit of a stand this time round. It probably won't be enough but it will at least make us feel a bit better about ourselves. Well first of all the only poll that really matters is the one on June 8th. Like last time they go up and down like a Yo-yo and I'd be very surprised if they're entirely accurate in the lead up this time around. But you talk about these vile opponents in the Labour party who are against Corbyn. I suppose in this case I could applaud you for having a sense of humour, but its not really a laughing matter that so many of Corbyn's supporters really are complete and utter scum of the earth. I know we talk about small percentages but their presence on social media really has been nothing short of disgraceful these past few months. The amount of abuse I've known people take really isn't good to see. I also can't really take the nice fella thing seriously either. Corbyn is anti British in so many ways its actually scary. He may have toned down a great deal since his backbench days but the ideals of this man are still very much ingrained. You can add a few quite unsightly divorces in there too that don't really do much for his persona. Refusing to allow his children to go to a grammar school even though he did so himself. If anything will make the British feel better about themselves its the opposition to extremism, to anti Semitism and a politics of abuse against people who I happen to disagree with but would support in their efforts to remove a hard left ideology that belongs in the 1930's. Extremism has to be stopped at all costs, no matter what side it is on. Nothing here about why one would cast a vote for the Conservative Party who have conducted their least positive campaign ever. Saddled with Brexit.
Fecked.

Is Paul Nuttall a real politician, or a comedian on a massive wind up?

I'm no expert but my prediction is that the Tories have dropped five points in the opinion polls tonight.
What a Feckin' joke they are.

Not bothering with Jammo's childish arguments any more, but can't let this one go. " quite a few unsightly divorces" He's been divorced twice. The first time in 1979, the second more recently. He's reported to still get on well with his second wife. That's a maximum of one potentially "unsightly" divorce. 38 years ago. What went wrong? Nothing wrong with a few unsightly divorces. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger poorer. Some of you Feckers clearly haven't lived. |

Just announced that Rudd's father died on Monday.
Even by Tory standards May is totally despicable. Or perhaps not all there. (Literally.)
Edited due to realisation of entirely unintentional pun!

Typical Tory arrogance,.
Mays failure to turn up just shows she's got no leadership.
Massive blow to her hollow campaign.

Ridiculous to put her in that situation in those circumstances but even without that loss she was the last person to have been chosen. No control of her emotions and little more than a shout-box. |

Had to laugh at the final question "What makes you a good leader?".
Well, turning up tonight would have been a good start!

Given that the rumour was that he was one of the Bungles in Rainbow, the joke writes itself
