Haha, priceless.

Read the damned Stonewall thing and you actually see it included in their spiel. 

SNP have funded them to the tune of £1million.....you read some biased stuff ....fact check my waxed ass x

It doesn't say that though. I'm not agreeing with what Stonewall say. Maybe I've missed it somewhere, but where does it say about reducing consent to 10? People have just made that interpretation. 

Enjoy the game mate

Read it properly pal and the wings article.

Funny how Nippy's lawyers haven't said a word isn't it ? 🤔

Enjoy the game too, 3 points ahead

Not really mate.. It's a nonsense story.

There's nothing in there about lowering the age of consent to 10.

Yes there is, you just don't understand the context.

I'm out for the day now, will explain it to you later slowly and in big letters if you like ? 😉 

In the meantime, a bit of advice for you......stop backing duff casues....they are being found out to be what they really are, as you well know🙂

What causes am I backing?

I see the government are shutting down any chance of an inquiry into the Greensill caper.

Tut tut.

But I suppose it is what it is. Just a few lads looking after each other. Just banter, like.

By having an inquiry led by a lawyer?

If Cameron gets anything more than a slap on the wrist and some Bullingdon sausagemeat crammed up his pipe after this, I'll show me arse.

Hancock seems to have got away with ordering all his PPE from the landlord of his local, so I can't see why Cameron will be punished for going round the Cabinet with his begging bowl.

Nobody seems to give a fuck. They can do what they want as long as they sit infront of a Union Jack on GMB every other morning and annoy the "leftards" on twitter.

The conclusions will have been cherry picked by Munira Mirza like her Race and Ethnic Disparities Report

Starmer has left Boris gopping like a goldfish today.

When asked about Greensill, Boris simply replied by saying he used to be Mayor of London. Pathetic by #TeamBoris

Blackford is still a gigantic cunt.

Not quite.

The mon appointed by the government (according to Rachel Reeves) is however (perhaps unsurprisingly) close to them. That does cast a cloud.

There is a fundamental point at stake here- former mps and ministers will always have contacts with business and current ministers- should they be allowed use that within a post politics career, and to what extent?

Rules currently permit that, so long as they are through the proper channels, but should they be forbidden from doing so, so as to avoid situations like this?

If yes, do they receive some form of compensatory salary for the restrictions that would put on future appointments?

I heard our Lindsay had to tell him to answer the question (again)... goes off at tangents like most con-men when on the spot

They are definitely stretching whatever rules there are at present, trouble is the Eton/Harrow/Oxford old boy network severely limits the talent gene pool. Prime Ministers are looking forward the their money-spinning next jobs too much for my liking, they will always keep in with banks and industry for those future non executive appointments.

Cameron's piggy little face has been in the trough too much, if he has broken the rules then he should lose his pension.

As an afterthought... they couldn't use their combined business acumen to save their benefactor from going bust, no wonder we are hurtling towards an economic mess

Never forgave him for scoring for Oldham at Burnden

[Ani]

Did Greensil ended up not getting the contract that all the fuss is about ?

 

I get lobbying needs to be controlled but in this instance if they did nt get the job it just shows Cameron is as shit at lobbying as he was at running Remain

[emus wig]

Think Dennis Skinner had it right used to call Cameron Dodgy Dave at every opportunity.

I used to think Cameron was the worst PM we had ever had... then came May and now Johnson... are we at the barrel bottom yet? Please

Go back to where you said you backed a couple of causes, your words son not mine

This lobbying lark has gone on for as long as we've had parliaments and probably before.

The reason I posed the question earlier, is that banning it is more likely to drive it "underground".

Some interesting comments in the debate earlier, apparently we have a more open system, available to scrutiny, than most, with lobbying register etc.

A lot of moral grandstanding, but I'm not sure much is likely to change.

I'm confused mate. I'm having a discussion with Miami about which side is the worst. All I'm saying is that extremism is an equal issue on both sides (IMO).

I've said that the Bristol protest was grim and the timing of the women's safety protest was poor. These are causes I believe in, so I'm as pissed off as the next person on here when they're hijacked.

But I've said all that before on here.

There you go clever clogs, causes you believe, your words.....causes which you are pissed off with them hijacked. 

Bit shit at this game aren't you Mr Shit memory man ? 😄 🤣 😂 

 

Thank me later Dumbo 🐘 x

Apologise ? 🤣 

I never said I didn't believe in any causes. I asked you to tell me which ones you were referring to. Glad we got there eventually 👍 we can go back to the point now.

Women's safety & domestic violence are still big issues. This new protest legislation is anti-democratic & anti-British. IMO. It shouldn't be up to Priti Patel to pick & choose which protests to shut down.

So yes, I support folk who might choose to protest peacefully (outside of a pandemic) about those things and would go myself. So why do you think that means I've backed the wrong causes? If some tossers burn a police van as part of that protest, does that make my opinions or the cause invalid?

If you want Northern Ireland to stay part of the UK then have you backed the wrong horse because some loyalists rioted?

Honestly not interested in playing games with you mate. You can have as many points as you want if that's what floats your boat. Just looking for an honest answer to the above questions.

Everything always seems so black & white to you. Even with America, you see anyone who protests (against what is still an oppressive system) as a supporter of BLM.

It's a complex world mate. Never too late to learn that 👍

Protest peacefully ? Are you actually wrapped right when you mention burning police vans whilst under lockdown ? Is that sensible during a pandemic or even remotely sensible when there is no lockdown ?

The thing most complex is how you think these protests are helping the situation and causes you believe in fella.

Violent protests will not achieve anything.

You have a nice day in your little lefty utopia whilst I enjoy my day in the sunshine, history proves you fruitcakes always back the wrong horse 🐎
