RANDOM THOUGHTS

Ooooops, Jackie, ye auld dafty

Yvette Cooper has defended Labour’s plan to keep the Conservatives’ two-child benefit cap amid a backlash from within the party.

Cooper insisted Labour must be “clear about what we can fund”… “and we can’t afford kids”, she might have gone on to say.

I have little doubt we SHALL be able to afford nuclear weapons, as if we were one of the big boys in the playground…

It comes after Sir Starmer confirmed that he would retain the two-child limit earning him the nickname, Sir Kid Starver.

Mrs Thatcher, who only stole their milk, was a bit of a saint by comparison.

Clearly though, Dame Baillie was only saying that at the time, because it was a way to attack the Tories. Because I recall she voted against providing food for kids in school in parliament, even when she was humiliated by the Scottish Socialists and one of her own colleagues.

Still, now that she’s an aristocrat, we must make allowances for her mental capacity. Blue blood does that to you.

What is the point of Labour?

Oh, yeah, that’s right. Apart from letting the Tories have a little rest and put their feet up for a few years, there isn’t one. Got you now.

Mind you, she was dim enough to think that BoJo would leave his wife of the day for her… so maybe this isn’t too surprising

So, see if I’ve got this right, Petronella?

In Turkey, these foreign fiends took two women’s kidneys out, then they got on planes sans reins, as it were, and flew to London, where they were admitted to hospital.

Was Harry Potter involved?

Or are things going better with Coke?

As Michael Grieve noted on Twitter

That’s nothing. I know a British woman who writes for a national newspaper who seems to have had her brain replaced with that of an actual Turkey

So, why was this not done last year?

Is it a coincidence that this Tory, being all macho, standing up for the down trodden motorist, is all happening a few days before 3 by-elections.

I’m about to meet with the supermarket bosses who have been ripping off motorists at the pump.

I’ll demand they end any overcharging immediately and challenge them to hand over their pricing data.

Lets see what they have to say… pic.twitter.com/WBdqScC6xe

Oh you are big and tough, aren’t you? I’m be interested to see massive reductions in price at the pumps in Morrisons tomorrow?

And while you’re there, whatever your name is today, could you comment on the headline in yesterday’s FT pointing out that “Soaring interest rates drive the biggest fall in household wealth since 1945”?

That’s quite an achievement.

Or, indeed a note on page two of that paper which points out that Britain has become a “global inflationary outlier”?

Didn’t the Rich lad pledge to drive inflation down, just before it edged farther up?

Dear Lord, first we had ‘Great British Railways’, which are the worst in Europe and now we have Great British Nuclear. I shudder to think!

Because, you odious toad, we aren’t allowed to have slave labour in Britbin.

YET

Even people working for the royals, however hideously badly paid, do get more than their board and lodgings.

There is a simple remedy to “illegals” arriving in England on small boats.

That is take up the offer made by the French government for the English to screen people in France.

They offered it for the Ukraine refugees (about which the British government pretended to care a lot) and the Brits refused. And then they offered for the refugees heading here from Africa, about whom the government clearly give considerably less than a damn, and again the offer was turned down.

Of course, we realise that the fantastic amounts that you are spending on this is buying you support amongst the hard right winger hate merchants and, to be fair, some people living in the coastal towns, who are wading through sewage on their beaches.

So doing as little as possible and blaming the French may sound like a good idea as is getting it reported in the Express and the Heil, but it is not solving the problem.

The solution is in your hands and anyone who isn’t gammon can see it.

I thought the royalists on the blog might like to see a picture of their new queen, enjoying her majestic self.
