MUNGUIN'S NEW REPUBLIC 
And I see the 95yr old hypocritical, tax dodging, paedophile protecting woman, has been pontificating on climate change, with the usual sycophants,” where’s my K”, agreeing with her every word. Even Greenpeace. Sick inducing.

Yep, apparently we aren’t doing enough… Maybe she would like to contact the Scottish government and allow them to remove the exemptions she demanded as of right, for her personal properties in our country.
Also she might want to order that, in future, her hat NOT have it’s own separate car and staff of flunkies.

O/t A Tory MP has been murdered in England at a constituency surgery. As much as we hate Tories that’s horrible news. I’ll be honest I’d never heard of him but no-one deserves that.

Agree, no one deserves to be assaulted and murdered.
The attacker has been arrested.
As a diversion I read the his voting record after reading he was a caring individual, it doesn’t read well, he voted FOR the most harsh of policies, reducing benefits for the less well off.
We will hear no doubt more of this.
Sorry for his family and equally sorry for the children and people who will struggle to eat and heat during the coming winter.
Was his death worth the money saved?

Radio 4 is busy wheeling out MPs to sing his praises.
Murder is no solution to any problem.
2 MPs have been murdered in 5 years; how many women have been murdered by men over the same time? That’ll be Sarah Everard firmly pushed out of the papers, then.
Even further off-topic; fox-hunter found guilty of advising others on ways of circumventing the law and using drag hunts as cover for fox hunts. Good.

Too many – it’s averaging about 3 per week. But we don’t matter. Mostly our names are never known…

Glad to hear the second part of that.
People who kill animals for sport make me so very very angry.
I saw that that kid of Wee Wullie and the Clothes Horse is apparently upset by the sight of litter… (presumably his footman must have missed some and his princeness saw it… horror)… however apparently he was taken shooting at grandmama’s Scottish estates last year and didn’t find the sight of dead animals upsetting.
Clearly it’s the colour of his blood that cases these peculiarities.
The queen is annoyed about how slowly we are working on climate change,so presumably she will be ordering that her hat NOT be transported in its own car in future and she will be informing the Scottish government to cancel her exclusion from climate change regulations in our country.
What a bloody joke they are.

Another example of what a hate filled island we have become.
