aaid Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 7 minutes ago, Rich NATA said: If Sunak is punted after that loss, that opens the door for Johnson in opposition, but I don't think he'd bother with it. Not in opposition. So, what's he going to do? I suspect he'll stand on the sidelines throwing grenades at Sunak for the next 18 months, but that doesn't only damage Sunak, it damages the Conservative party too. I don't think Johnson honestly cares though. That presupposes that he can somehow obtain a safe Tory seat before the next election, which would be a lot easier said than done. I don’t know if you can remember the whole “cash for questions” corruption scandal but in the 1997 election which followed it, Martin Bell stood as an independent against Neil Hamilton - who was one of the most corrupt MPs caught up. He turned a 16,000 Tory majority into a 12,000 majority for himself as Labour and the Lib Dems withdrew their candidates. I could see something similar happening if Johnson were to stand again next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDYER63 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I see Johnson is reportedly getting a weekly column in the Mail. I could not think if a more apt partnership . Lying scumbag politician writes for a lying scumbag paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you didn't disagree that she's thick as pig shit. Which is why having a VONC was nothing other than a performative waste of time. Good to see the Better Together parties rallying around though - that should focus minds on what it’ll be like if they get a majority again. Fergus Ewing should have the whip withdrawn, weak from Yousaf if there’s no sanction there. Dissent is acceptable on some issues, a government confidence vote isn’t one of them. Pig shit or not, she’s the co-leader of the Greens. As long as she wants one and as long as the coalition is in place, she’s bombproof. BTW, she’s a qualified engineer with years of experience in the renewables sector - she’s not stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sad thing is, the deposit return scheme, as a concept, is fundamentally a good idea, IMO, but there appears to have been a determination for it to fail. Meanwhile, slobby, clatty cunts up and down the land (well, Glasgow anyway, the slobby, clatty cunt capital of Europe) continue to ditch their empty and half empty bottles and cans, spoiling the environment and making the place look like a massive shitehole.

We really have got no chance of embracing policies like the deposit return scheme when, as you say, so many folk cant even be arsed to stick a bit of paper in a bin. I walk along Argyle st in the early morning and the streets are clean and tidy . Come late afternoon there is litter everywhere. Folk have no respect , though maybe bribing them with cash on returned items to keep the streets tidy is what some of the country actually needs .

EddardStark Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 "More is known about the moon's surface than the depths of the ocean. In fact, 12 people have stepped foot on the moon, but only three have been to the Mariana Trench — the deepest part of the ocean, at roughly 7 miles (11 kilometers) deep." There a reason why ocean depth exploring is not a great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At its deepest the water pressure is the equivalent of having 50 jumbo jets on top of you, cheers for posting that was really interesting 👍. Used to be obsessed with reading about the Mariana Trench in the Guinness book of records or the National Geographic when I was a small child, then hit the age for scud mags and swapped one type of trench for another 😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
