This is hilarious
Andrew R T Davies, the leader of the Welsh branch of the Tories, has written an article in the Daily Mail, presumably for money, complaining about the new 20 mph speed limits in Wales. He calls it a “Mad Scheme”.
Fair enough, you might think… if that’s how he feels and he can make a few pounds form the Daily Heil, then why not?
But then, you might also have thought that, when it came to the Senedd, he would vote against it. But he didn’t.
But, this is how the voting went:
So, Andy Pandy, thinking it was a mad scheme, didn’t vote against it.
And if you think that’s batshit mad, then how about this?
2. Yay, Tories!

MUNGUIN'S NEW REPUBLIC 
Some brilliant ones there. Love the T-shirt and evolution of a Tory ha ha!! Number 1, poa for turnips, maybe they charge Tories more for them, was it wine swilling huge cigar smoking Coffey who said let them, (the poor) eat turnip? Only eat Scottish potatoes, always the best. I heard that a truck load of tatties for export, from the Uk was stopped in France, lots of Scottish ones part of the shipment. Apparently lots of the English ones were ridden with disease, presume that meant they all had to be dumped. It was only right that Spanish footballer guy was sacked, eventually, took a while. He was way out of order and by all accounts he’s a sexist pig. Snow White could just make do with an alarm on her mobile these days. 😃
I wonder did Kipling die of lung disease.

“Ever had the thought ‘Where did I leave the car” ?
Yep…happened to me years ago….I had been in the supermarket for so long that when I came out I could not remember where I had parked my car.
So I started walking and was looking for my Green Vauxhall Astra (car I had the time) and then I saw it.
So I walked towards it , with a determined manner , pushing my trolley full of messages .
Then eventually I got to the car and stopped .
Now you know those times (infrequent but they can occur) when you are looking at something and it’s not really registering immediately as to what it is that’s wrong…..but you just stand there and stare knowing that something is wrong (with this picture) but you are not quite establishing in your mind what it is right away.
THEN…..you realise….or in my case, I eventually realised that what it was I was actually seeing ,as I stood there staring for what seemed like ages (but probably was only a minute, if even), at a man sitting , in what initially I thought was MY car and he was sitting there eating a chippie in the driver’s seat……BUT what was even worse was that when I did eventually realise….well I then saw that he was also staring at me too and God knows what was going through his mind….probably it was …What the H is she doing (or wanting)…..so as I realised …..NOT my car as in someone else’s…I then obviously had to move away BUT I didn’t know what direction to go in because I STILL did not know where me car was (I have no doubt in my mind that HE was watching me zig zagging all over the car park with me trolley )…..happy ending obvs as I found it….I was tempted to drive past the guy so that HE knew what had happened….but I didn’t…too embarrassed ….I hope he too realised what had happened BUT I still think he must have thought….she saw me sitting here eating a chippie in ME car ……but she’s just standing there staring……then he MUST have thought at the time as in when I was standing there just staring at him in HIS car ….’am I in danger here’…….LOL (I hope he lived happily ever after..)

“See you tomorrow. You know somehow I’d forgotten how vile these angry Nat Twitter Trolls are”
Well it takes one to know one Emily !….wonder if she has spotted any more ENGLISH flags outside any houses in England….remember HER reaction via Twitter in 2014 where she showed a picture of a house with a white van parked outside with 3 England flags attached to the windows of the house and she tweeted ” “Image from #Rochester”……
She had to resign from Ed Milligan’s shadow cabinet and tweeted “I apologise for any offence caused by the 3 flag picture. People should fly the England flag with pride” ! (aye Emily…tolerant of SOME flags including boss Starmer’s Union flag(s) either side of him when HE ever makes a speech….while other flags (Scottish one) are demonised by you and others within your party …..as in the Scottish flag wrongly promoted as a bad case of “vile angry Nat Troll” ‘nationalism’)….one cannot have “pride” in flying Scottish flag can one Emily…..but okay according to you to “fly the England flag with pride” (and the flag your boss promotes too)…Got it.
Ed Milligan’s (the then Labour leader) and others said THAT incident in 2014 re English flags was “disrespectful” so one wonder what does he think of her latest tweet that is clearly offensive and disrespectful to SNP voters….aye exactly….he thinks and says NOWT……..indeed what did Milligan think of her being caught on video and saying at a PUBLIC meeting that she “HATES the SNP” her exact words were ” I hate the SNP” (and she said it TWICE)….is that respectful…..aye specific rules for some (pro UK parties and those who support and vote for them) and much much DIFFERENT and very RESTRICTED rules for the SNP (and their supporters and voters)….always.
