Ah. Fair enough. I don’t know about those. Strange thing to bring up on a Tory thread but all levels of competence welcome
On a side note, what is the Calcutta Restaurant like in Shoreham, ever been?

You're right. I had a go as a candidate's counter once, a real eye opener, I was genuinely awe struck by the power of democracy!

Admiring the con man from the Daily Telegraph. He might just get away with it and pull off one more big con.

Spoiled papers have to be viewed, at the end of the count, by all candidates to decide if they can be allocated to anyone.
Tory meltdown incoming...
Oh I knew it wouldn’t be long till hissing Sid would come sniffing around and whilst tempting as it is to post an equally childish meme back at you I do fear that I’ll be summoned to the Captain’s table to answer my crimes what with your record of grassing people to your moderator chums, what a sad old man you are [emoji2357]

I just thought it was amusing how desperate you were to claim Baker Lite wasn't referring to the infamous 'Jimmy Saville incident'.
Sorry
Two weeks ago I asked for the trolling on this thread to stop.
Action has now been taken against four different individuals for ignoring that and, guess what, they're all Bear Pit regulars.
Maybe this will now get shifted there too or maybe we could all act like adults and the infractions could turn into long bans for the odd transgressor.
It could go either way.

I have had takeaway but a while back so I can’t recall I’m afraid, but I would have remembered if it was rubbish. I believe his brother owns the Indian restaurant next door. The result of a family feud according to Shoreham folklore
It has been very amusing, quietly observing the Momentum love in on this thread.
Also nice to Sir Kneel shifting from cheek to cheek, now that the spotlight has been shone on his time in charge of the CPS.
Wow. Just imagine being this ignorant.

I've created an equation to calculate the probability of Boris resigning.
The nearer to 1, the greater the probability.
R = A-1
-----
P-1
Where R = resignation announcement
A = number of advisors resigned
P = number of parties under investigation
The -1 above and below the line are designed to prevent results of 0 and infinity.
Mathematically, he's f*cked.

That should have been appealed. It wouldn't stand up in court.

I've never actually seen someone try and combine both Johnson and logical thought in a single post before. Congratulations

I see that you are so outraged by the PM using Savile to score cheap political points that you have decided to use a pic of Saville to score cheap political points ...

That's extraordinary, and there's a brutality to the honesty of the assessment there -- which also reveals quite clearly where we are.

Haven't heard one person think this was acceptable except Johnsons own band of morons but posts like this have to remind us all that this sort ignorance exists. He only has to con a few like this.
Rather interesting;
Truth and lies: how honest was Boris Johnson this week…..
https://www.theguardian.com/politic...d-lies-how-honest-was-boris-johnson-this-week
Monday
Claim (in Daily Mail op-ed): “[W]e had the fastest vaccine rollout and the fastest booster rollout of any major European economy … And that was at least partly because of Brexit”
Advertisement
Facts: The UK was certainly among the quickest countries in starting vaccinations, but defining “fastest” depends where you draw the line, with several neighbours having since vaccinated more per head of population. The connection to Brexit has been debunked. EU countries could temporarily authorise vaccines unilaterally if needed – as the UK did in November 2020, when it was still under the Brexit transition agreement.
Verdict: Partly true-ish, partly lie.

A direct quote from Anna Firth, new Southend West MP.
“I think the scale of my victory shows that people like the Conservative Government “.
She did get 11,000 more votes than spoiled ballot papers.
It’s now beyond parody.
I did notice that even when asked about Boris Johnson she would only talk about The Conservative Party, and serving a Conservative Party PM.
Claim (in the Commons): Keir Starmer, when director of public prosecutions (DPP), “spent most of his time prosecuting journalists and failing to prosecute Jimmy Savile”
Facts: Starmer was DPP from 2008-13, a period when the broadcaster was interviewed by police and died without being charged for decades of sexual offences. He also apologised for prosecution failings. But he had no connection to decisions over the case, and the idea he did emerged later in conspiracy theories mainly shared among the far right.
Verdict: Lie – and eventually partially withdrawn by Johnson, but not before his longstanding policy chief, Munira Mirza, resigned because the prime minister had not apologised.
She said: “There was no fair or reasonable basis for that assertion. This was not the normal cut-and-thrust of politics; it was an inappropriate and partisan reference to a horrendous case of child sex abuse.
