He pretends to be outraged when war memorials are disrespected during marches that pass by them but the actual denigration of British war dead?
“Not quite fair.”
What an irredeemable shitbag.

And we're back. The moment the danger passes, people rush to pretend everything is alright again. It isn't and will not be.

FIFTY WAYS TO LEAVE YOUR LOOFAH
Just slip out the tub, bub
Crush it with a handstand
That kind of ploy, Roy
Endears you to me.
Force it down the lav, Trev
Tear it into shards, pard
Defenestrate it, Mic
Hide it in a tree
Just slip out the tub, bub
Crush it with a handstand
That kind of ploy, Roy
Endears you to me.

It was a bright and frosty Plough Monday and the air was sweet with birdsong. The farmers, old and bark-worn, young and bright-eyed, from every farm and gainery around the village and the hamlet had paid their visits to Old Fox's cottage.
They bade Old Fox a solemn good morning & winked at Wolf,

Nadhim Zahawi, the disgraced former Tory MP and 2-month Chancellor has...
...defected to Reform.
You cannot make this up. Reform is soon going to have more failed Tories as members than people who were never Tories.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.
