BRFR Cake Stop 'breaking news' miscellany

Why is it that MPs can't say that particular truth in parliament?

All MPs are honourable. Therefore they would never lie to Parliament as that would be dishonourable. Thusly to call an MP a liar in the house, would be to dishonour them.

Also as @secretsqirrel said - if it were permitted then they would just call each other liars all day and we'd never get anywhere. It also prevents the hurling of baseless abuse as you cannot be sued for defamation for what you say in the house.

MPs that are significantly brighter than 30p Lee and Sultana find creative ways around the restriction. Churchill accused an opponent of terminlogical inexactitude. Dennis Skinner once stated that "half the Tory MPs are crooks". He was asked to withdraw the comment and said "Half the Tory MPs are not crooks.". he didn't get away with that one but you have to applaud it.

We had a Burmese cat that would jump to wherever you clicked your fingers. He was a greedy cat, willing to do stuff for food.
He was also wilfully stupid. You could wear him like a stole.

He also damaged his good looks by running full pelt down the landing and launching himself at a bird before discovering double glazing face first. Another trick was when chasing, he would forget that the dining table was very well varnished and jump on just to slide straight off. It's hard to tell off a cat for jumping on the dining table when he's already off it before you get there.

He's the only cat I've ever seen that would bite it's nails.

His sister on the other hand was a prickly bag of blades.

Clyde's sister, Bonny was definitely the more ruthless of them.

Why on earth did they arrest the driver if it was the car that did the killing?

"Police say a man has been arrested after a gun he was shooting killed a person in south Minneapolis".

I'm not 100% certain that the shooter would be arrested.

It could have been a Tesla.

Guns don't kill people, remember?

That's why I said "shooter". 😉 "Extenuating circumstances officer."
(That's assuming they know the word extenuating. 😂)

Why is it that MPs can't say that particular truth in parliament?

Because many of them are partisan bigots who assume that the other side must be lying rather than just wrong.

Gee, I wonder if there's any correlation?

Sums up the standard of reporting.

And of driving.
