Coud never warm to him after two jags and his “there is not such nationality as English” and his two shacks shite, he is no Skinner that is for sure.
The issue he was trying to resolve was a flying egg. I think he could have handled the issue with a touch more dignity, but I reckon he got a fuckton of respect for that post.
Besides, it’s all worked out for the best. Rhyl has a new tourist attraction.
The lesson here is don’t fuck with John Prescott, I think. Did he ever get egged again, I wonder?
Having considered the matter further jet sounds, I reckon that wars, etc - might be ended more expediently, or not started at all, if politicians got camoed up and went in.
I have to disagree with your point about politicians and violence.

Respect?..I don’t think so.
Can’t say I’d have reacted much differently. I’ve always tried my best to debate, but certainly in my earlier years, there were times where it wasn’t possible and some sort of slap was mandated.
A size 5 to the side of the head would certainly qualify.

I’m loving the conversion, Cherts, but don’t go to Damascus. They won’t let you back in 
I’m not, still a Conservative at heart (the theory anyway), I just saw this on Facebook and it made me chuckle.
Yeah, yeah.
You’ll have to do better than that to fox Barry’s sandal detection system.

David Cameron has been called an extremely rude name on his favourite TV show.
The Prime Minister admitted he loves to chillax with Serbian thriller The Last Panthers, in an interview shortly before Christmas.
But Mr Cameron may have spat out his wine when the last episode of the series aired on Sky Atlantic last week - when one character branded him an ‘utter cunt’*.

Housing benefit bill is rising, and rising fast.
Guess where? Perhaps surprisingly, it isn’t the old Northern cities that you might think of immediately.
Despite the record employment levels, spending on housing benefit in better-off cities such as London, Cambridge, Bournemouth and Milton Keynes has risen 50 per cent more than in lower-wage cities such as Glasgow and Liverpool.
The figures reflect warnings from some employers in London and the South-east that they are increasingly struggling to recruit staff because of the exorbitant cost of rents.
Much as I like this idea, I do have some thoughts on it.

We really would be in the pocket of Russia. I mean, I do think a lot of that image is stage managed. But, Cameron v Putin? Yeah, I know who my money is on.
-
To combat this, we would start having to elect folks like Tyson Fury. An equally terrifying thought.
-
Question Time/PMQ’s would become PPV events. Actually, I spose then they would be marginally less stage managed than they are presently.
-
Elections would be quite different. I have a feeling we may see Barry & Eddie Hearn becoming the Alistair Campbell of tomorrow. Is that what you want?
Still a few kinks to iron out here I reckon.
She really doesn’t have a clue. She is the one who appears to be the perpetrator of bullying tactics. Being held to account is not you being a victim of harassment.
I did see an article over the weekend about how many MPs get assaulted and threatened. It is quite a high number. One was attacked with a machete.

Many of us, including Cherts, have weighed into this one before. Fucking ridiculous.
The NHS spent £17.8million in a year on agency midwives – the cost of 511 staff.
Figures obtained by the Royal College of Midwives show the figure rose from £10million between 2012 and 2014.
One trust spent £4,482,432 and 11 spent more than £1million in that period.
Shadow Public Health Minister Andrew Gwynne blasted David Cameron for breaking a vow to recruit 3,000 midwives adding: “Ministers cannot keep ignoring warning signs. They need to set out how they intend to tackle staff shortages.”

Yep, seem to remember Batman showing off about his missus fleecing the NHS as an agency nurse, which is probably why he was anti-immigration.
The only way we are going to get the staff we need is by importing talent, as we don’t have enough ‘native’ people willing to take it up (and who would, the NHS is drastically under-staffed and over -worked, and not that well paid). If we moved out of the EU this would add more barriers to this.
However, agency spend should be seen to reduce from last year, as a cap has been put on agency workers pay - we’ll see how well that works though…
EDIT: Just read the article where it makes the point above - apologies for re-iterating it.
It will be even more difficult to recruit home-grown trainee nurses and midwives from now on, with the withdrawal of the bursaries.My daughter was exploring the option of doing midwifery training but, without the bursary and childcare, she wouldn’t manage pay for it. Especially as she wouldn’t want to take on such a debt especially at her age

It is ridiculous, this.
Also, last week (possibly the week before) the Tories have effectively scrapped grants and bursaries for University in general.
Quote from the man himself (DC) back in 2010:
“We must always help people from lower income backgrounds to go to university - that’s why we keep bursaries & expand bursaries”.
