    Never heard of her...so no :D
    She's that socialist conservative councillor in London somewhere, she used to be a high flying lawyer at some point.

    I guess she loves doing TV shows, another "rent an opinion" for a panel.

    I see Roy Hodgson has just resigned. I think he was backing the 'Leave the Euros' campaign too.

    The only thing I'm worried about is when the leaders all get together next year........just think of the possible line up: And either side of Her Majesty, we see the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and US president Donald Trump. . :o :o :#

    Honestly, that's what comes of holding a Referendum during the silly season. Everything feels a bit unreal. Summer doesn't agree with the Brits.

    Footie might even have played a part. Had we gone out before, it might have had a sobering effect, had we played brilliantly, some might have thought, well, we're doing well, why mess things up by voting Brexit? But sort of threatening to do well, maybe next time... okay, we can do this! We can go on and win the thing!

    It really does feel like the End of Days here.

    Well the Remain campaign did predict the End of Days ! :D

    Stephen Crabb for PM, it would be great to have Wolverine in No 10 :D

    Well now, at least, we know the line-up:

    Michael Gove MP, the current Lord Chancellor and Justice Secretary could make a good Prime Minister but I couldn't have Theresa May MP, the current Home Secretary in the role. Dr Liam Fox MP would also have my support, second only to Gove.

    A few pundits have said the golden ticket, would be "May as PM with Gove as Deputy" to bring
    Both sides of the Conservatives together ?

    I suppose that could work, but I'm really not keen on May who comes across as false - she didn't have the bottle to join the LEAVE campaign and so I really feel that she shouldn't benefit from the fallout from it to the extent of becoming Prime Minister. We'll see what happens... -{

    I agree, I think she was trying to hide in the background, looking after her career. So in
    Negotiations will she do what's best for the UK, or Herself ?

    Herself would come first, I'd wager. Personally I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her and who in their right mind would want another divisive Tory leader and PM like Margaret Thatcher? :(

    To me, he's David Brent.

    With the very real prospect of having Trump as US President, the UK has only one man in it's arsenal who will counter him:


    BRIAN BLESSED for Prime Minister!! :D

    Brian Blessed would make a fantastic Sir Hugo Drax in a faithful adaptation of the Moonraker novel anyhow. :)

    I'm very chuffed that with my rather large frame and beard, a few people have said
    I remind them of Brian Blessed, ..... my big mouth, might also help ! :D

    in fact I was thinking of using Brian as my new avatar, but for the problems with loading
    images.

    There'd probably be a problem uploading the sound file for Brian Blessed anyway as it's bound to be massive! :D

    I don't like Brian Blessed that much. His underacting is overrated .......

    He's positively fuming! I think it's time they put hezza back in his Box and wheeled out Willy Hague for some light relief :)
    I do feel a bit sorry for Gove tho, he's only doing what his wife is telling him to do, now he's lost his mate who's very popular and dynamite at a dinner party, he won't be allowed to go the pub after work and he'll have his wife continually reminding him how he'd be nothing without her for the rest of his life. Poor little man.

    :)) if he gets his hands on the Mace again, he'll clobber Boris with it.

    Poor old Boris, stitched up by goves wife, torpedoed by cameron, hated by Higgins and verbally mauled by hezza, not a good week for him all in all. It would be just his luck to get knocked of his bike by one of those busses he commitioned on his way home.
    Didn't that mace carry on go down as one of parliaments most grave disorders?

  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    Yes, it was very naughty, and Hezza also stood against Maggie, so it's a bit
    odd for him to go on about loyalty.
