Firstly, Good Law Project. Is that not the chap that keeps crowdfunding for failed causes and tends to lose. Also, did he not deliberately kill a fox. Anyway, the biggest - job retention bonus £2.6bn As I recall, that didn’t happen because Covid came back with a vengeance and furlough was kept on. I don’t think it was needed as I can’t recall getting anything for any of my staff? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best think tanks have opaque funding arrangements. Big business and landowners, that's who should fund things. Last judicial review i saw, about tendering public research, they won. Also, did he not deliberately kill a fox. He humanely despatched an injured fox trapped in chicken wire. As far as ad homs go, that was a pretty shit attempt.

Thane of Cawdor Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) You might hope that a man of Johnson's superior education would be able to distinguish between an encouraging rallying call to the troops and an exhortation to ejaculate on the nation. Perhaps 'Spaffer' isn't as patriotic as he makes out. Edited June 30, 2021 by Thane of Cawdor Outlay of page 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baxter Parp Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/jul/02/furlough-scheme-jd-sports-miliion-pound-bonus- The furlough scheme should never have been allowed to fund million-pound bonuses But how would the Tories make their phoney baloney fabulous wealth otherwise? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugar_Army Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Not sure what is more cringeworthy. Having to print the name of your country on a flag to remind your citizens that the Union flag is not just yours, or flying a flag advertising The Sun newspaper. Actually I do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBear Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Looks like the little Englanders are having an identity crises with all the BLM awareness. Losing to Italy has pushed them over the edge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speckled tangerine Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Debate on the international aid budget cut today. No doubt spinning the line that the money earmarked for the poor abroad is better spent on the poor here. Except if you are claiming Universal Credit, of course, whereby your extra £20 a week is also for the chop. At least their hatred of the poor sees no creed or colour. Total. Fucking. c***s. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will play the fairness card. “If we have to make cuts for the poorest here it’s only right that we balance it and also make cuts for Johnny Foreigner”. Sadly if he were actually to couch it in those terms he’d get huge support. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I can't decide if he actually believes this or not. Voters generally don't give a f**k about Climate Change or famine in Yemen, there is no way they are bothered about NGOs recieving less money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strichener Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 The 0.7% of GNI is currently met by how many countries? I could understand the outrage if we were cutting this from a universally excepted level and yet only Germany and the UK for the G7 contribute 0.7% and Germany only last year. The US for example contribute 0.17%, Japan 0.31%, Canada 0.31% and Australia 0.19%. How about that great Irish economy that I read so much about on here? 0.31% It is never going to be popular to be cutting any budget, particularly when we appear to be able to find large chunks of money for COVID spending however the reality is that even with this cut we are still at the top end of contributors based on GNI. Personally, I would have preferred the budget to remain at 0.7% but I am pragmatic enough to see that we are still contributing a higher proportion of income than almost all the rest of the world. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTJohnboy Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) I know it won't (and shouldn't) affect matters in Scotland but I really hope Angela gets the labour leader gig sooner, rather than later.

Data from oecd https://data.oecd.org/chart/6qhJ Exactly as you said, but i don't think that other countries' shitebaggery should excuse ours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
