I wonder if the lardarse is snoring, what a slob.

 

Anyone on here able to inspect the photo and verify it? Or should I add cynical to grumpy old fart? Oh too late says Mrs Jab.

 

Best COP26 post I've seen so far
"I'm backing deboristisation for a better future!"

 

Spaffalot Johnson at COP26.
"We're going to get rid of the old boilers and swap them for a new younger, greener model – like I've done!"

 

Owen Paterson has always worked tirelessly as an MP to make the world a better place. Well, his world, anyway

 

Con +2

 

Sleazy bastards the lot of them. They will change the rules now just watch.

For the first time in more than 30 years I am persuaded by today's going ons in parliament that high level fascism lives and thrives. To change an established process because it holds bad practice and malpractice to account within the house of commons more than half way through is not only unethical but basically dishonest and is unjust.
