Given this is a famed right wing echo chamber can any of you explain what this is all about?

[Classic Jorge]

Have they made Slash from Guns n Roses their new cross bench peer advising on privatising the NHS or something?

Seriously, though, I really don't want them to replace Dave with Osborne. :-( I know he's clever and apparently personally charming, but at the moment he has all the popular appeal of Zyklon-B. He'd beat Corbyn, of course, but if the Labour party come to their senses any time soon, he might struggle.

Boris, on the other hand, would walk it.

[Monty91]

I’m not being bitchy – I’m just surprised that a public figure wouldn’t be better advised. No one wants a frump running the country.

Merkel is a pretty unpleasant looking woman but she knows how to keep everything tucked in.

makes her look old, but she could get away with it if she frumped up sufficiently. Instead, she wears slinky dresses better suited to a woman 10-15 years younger, which only serves to emphasise how old she looks.

but it’s popping up all over the shop now :-(

[Berni]

and Boris still won it. Twice. Say what you like about him, but he's got the electoral golden touch.

[Berni]

I find using a bit of product tends to de-accentuate the grey in other areas. Not dye, just a bit of moulding wax and whatnot.

[Classic Jorge]

It's fine for a post without much real power but not for something important

[Monty91]

because the Saudis feed us security intelligence?

I don't think I've ever heard a PM acknowledge the use of Realpolitik before.

[Berni]

knows the buffoon bit is an act - one that many people like very much. Boris is clearly the most popular choice as far as mixed polls are concerned. I have little doubt he'd win the next election easily.

[Luis Anaconda]

[redgunamo]

Thing is, even though you pretend not to like it, the privileged buffoon look is actually very popular with voters, who mostly also wish to be privileged buffoons. If only because it pays well.

[Classic Jorge]

Or, for that matter, us providing prison services to a country who are executing minors.

There's realpolitik and there's just abandoning all morals at the airport.

He's just called for "No more passive intolerance in britain" in his speech though, so that's OK then.

but there are things we need from them and things they can give us, so we just have to tolerate it.

[Monty91]

DOES seem pretty normal, albeit normal and posh?

Osborne, not so much. Though he did make a decent ****ing joke at the GQ awards a few years ago.

[Classic Jorge]

I must say I do love your taking up of the shy tory mantlepiece.

You've mentioned the scotch play!

[Monty91]

essentially makes you unelectable.

And I've never voted :vsign:

[Classic Jorge]

Also, you do have the air of a 2004 chelsea fan when it comes to politics.

Seriously though, you've never voted?! What's the reason, ambivalence, antipathy, a busy schedule?

[Billy Goat Sverige]

I had a mental breakdown when i found it.

[Monty91]

[redgunamo]

as they reckon, for one thing, it's only mummy's boys etc. that find it disturbing, and that's part of the fun.

I reckon Angler's looks, or rather her lack of them, is what makes her electable. If she looked like Heidi Klum, she'd lose a good half of her support.

[Snin]

its every 5 weeks then when stop / forget in 6 - 12 months whenever it will come out and will be shock! as I tried it couple of weeks back and just had occasional grey hair..but now who knows whats really happening ;-)

[Snin]

if that helps ? it help her I tellya

[Berni]

still would've looked weird.

You'd actually have had a much better argument if you'd said that a lot of the 'he looks weird/nerdy/wrong' stuff had a background hint of anti-semitism to it in so far as it was sort of saying 'You know he's Jewish, right?', without actually saying it.

But the bacon sandwich? Nah.

[Classic Jorge]

Though I do think it had the whole 'weight of comment' thing about it. How lucky the right is to have a massively sympathetic press.

[Luis Anaconda]

[Berni]

But of course the left could never be anti-semitic, could it? Oh, no!

I've no idea about the boy letwin but I always thought Drac was a former coptic christian, though Bram Stoker didnt mention it in the book.

[Berni]

comment about Howard, which was so clearly a barely-disguised anti-semitic slur that I'm amazed that you, who can see anti-semitism in a bacon sandwich, seem strangely blind to it.

[redgunamo]

Like your Mum.

[Snin]

:-)

[Classic Jorge]

Mainly as he mostly just came across as a vampire with sunblock.

Did you miss the 'weight of comment' thing from above? I might have said it was anti semetic to wind you up in may. Mostly as you were hilarious when you were convinced they were losing.

[Classic Jorge]

Like Lord Ashcrof......oh f**k I think I've got this wrong.

[Berni]

[Classic Jorge]

Dont worry, Jez and his friends are coming for you all.

You're up for such a debatin'
