I'm not sure, but she'll be back in/around Whitehall soon enough I'd expect, as I'm sure I heard she's best mates with Sunak, either she's his childrens godparent, or the other way round.......so I'm sure she won't be scratching around for a job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted November 9, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted November 9, 2022 It's a slow day in the town and the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody is living on credit. A tourist visiting the area drives through the town, stops at a hotel, and lays a £50 pound note on the desk saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs to pick one for the night. As soon as he walks upstairs, the hotel owner grabs the note and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher. (now... pay attention) The butcher takes the £50 and runs down the street to repay his debt to the pig farmer. The pig farmer takes the £50 and heads off to pay his bill to his feed supplier. The guy at the supplier takes the £50 and runs to pay his debt to the local prostitute, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer her "services" on credit. Now, the hooker rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill with the hotel owner. The hotel proprietor then places the £50 back on the counter so the traveller will not suspect anything. At that moment the traveller comes back down the stairs, stating that the rooms are not satisfactory, picks up the £50 pound note and leaves. No one produced anything and no one earned anything! However... the whole village now thinks that they are out of debt and there is a false atmosphere of optimism and glee! And that, my friends, is how a government works! 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap gags like that show the interviewer up more than the interviewed - punching downwards isn't a great look for comedy - done by either the left or the right.

Lord knows where too like. Hopefully as far away from Blackpool as possible. I was surveying some new apartments down past the pleasure beach the other day on the sea front. They’re proper swish and that area near the end of the tram tracks seems to be getting some investment. Theyll probably end up in there.

Hilton were the first to make the move now theres 3 or 4 new big fancy gaffs sprung up. I do wish these architects would think about the gaffs getting twatted by the Irish Sea every day of the year when they design them mind. Big glass balconies with loads of stainless steel. Will look fucked in 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
