Reform, and the death of the Tory Party

[Bromptonaut]

Theirs doesn't have a fire breathing dragon on it so it is automatically inferior.

It does, it's just very small and well camouflaged.

I remember that I went to Norfolk and Brittany in close succession many years ago, and realised that they both had funny their accents but were much the same otherwise: I had just as much in common with the Bretons as the Norfolkians.

Oi!

People from Norfolk don't have accents!

It's everybody else wat talk funny.

I like flags.

Do the English have a uniquely complicated relationship with their flag and identity?

The Swiss flag is a big plus to be fair

Yes, and nobody is cross about it.

The Swiss fly their flag along with the canton flags everywhere, along with Italian, French, German, EU and all the rest.
Not been there recently, I wonder if they still fly the star fangled banner

Ah yes, the man of the people, railing against the establishment in his fight for the interests of the working man...... Oh, hang on a minute

Strange to accept money from someone who doesn’t even live in the UK.

This is one reason why left wing parties suffer from lack of exposure. They just don’t have any supporters who are able to donate that sort of money.

But isn't that why the BBC are biased towards the Left - thus restoring balance?

Not from what I've seen in the last few months. Kuenssberg and Mason in particular.

Nigel is at it again.

However, John Swinney - Outraged, from Edinburgh - doesn't seem to realise that of the one in three who speak English as their second language, Glaswegian is their first language.

I’m struggling to see why English being their second language is even an issue, it suggest they can still speak it when needed. They won’t do well in some parts of Wales in the Senedd election if they start moaning about people using English as a second language.

Someone pointed out that 66.67% of Farage's partners have English as their second language.

Farage’s first language is bollox too.

His children too if social media is to believed.

Farage’s first language is bollox too.

Thing is, he's so fragile when pressed. The mask of bonhomie slips immediately, and you see the plain nasty man underneath.

He's not repeating the Tice attack line that Farage's school contemporary is lying, because he knows it's slanderous, and he'd probably lose in court should he sue Farage, and it would bring out a lot of credible people agreeing with the contemporary.

From that BBC article he seems to have come to the conclusion that English second language speakers are illegal immigrants.
