Off Topic The Politics Thread

Having seen the designs ‘created’ by Carrie Symonds’ favoured rich friend who does interior design as a hobby, the ludicrously named Lulu Lytle, I’m expecting outrage at three new issues

- first, the colonial (Raj/Mughal) style with added chintz and shabby chic furniture, including quaint pictures of ‘natives’ (all from Daddy’s attic in the country house, don’t you know) is simply horrible and an insult to eyeballs*, as well as to the inspirations of the style which is fine in context (ie India)
- second, you can actually recreate this hideous ‘look’ from the apparently common and despicable John Lewis for 5% of what Lulu charges (true, it’s in the papers)
- thirdly, the cost of removing this ****, presumably with a flame thrower, by the next incumbent of the flat (let it be soon) will be another scandal.

Whoever paid for this abomination should demand his money back, so he can invest it in other stuff, like Rishi Sunak’s haircut and personal PR budget, Robert Generic’s spelling lessons or the DNA testing of Gavin Williamson so we can find out what species of insect he actually belongs to. Of course, the long term commitment to Priti Patel’s personal trainer goes without saying.



* of course, this is the ‘look’ chosen by a woman who is shacked up with a man who apparently can’t dress himself without help, and even then can’t look smartish beyond the first meal or beverage of the day. Clearly she loves him for his intellect and character. And he has promised to make her an honest woman. One day. It’s just taking time to get the pre nup agreed.

 

Unnecessarily risky when he could have made a GoFundMe page and millions of people with little to no disposable income would have donated a few quid each as a thank you for his efforts in the job.

Looks like the waiting room in a colonial era brothel, proof money can't buy taste...

 

700 quid per roll of wallpaper... remind us who are the elite Boris and co bang on about.

 

Nothing to see here... we move on

 

Your knees must be filthy.

 

No one has stopped to ask Theresa May how she feels about her John Lewis choices being ripped apart.

 

Boris earns £180,000 pa. Gareth Bale earns £21,000,000 pa

Who's the elite?

Me apparently.

Pleased for you. Hope your income is closer to Gareth's than Boris's.

 

The Bale thing wasn’t a serious post though, I hope. You’re one of the few Tories I can at least appreciate as being relatively intelligent even if I disagree with most of what you say on this thread.

 

It’s definitely still Johnson.

 

It's a serious comment in that the position of PM, whoever it is, is underpaid. Most captains of industry would hardly get out of bed for £180k.

 

...and your reasoning?
