Do You Want Sarcasm With That Or Idiocy?

Well that got a bit awks.

Easy mistake when you have no working class friends I suppose?

[royfromaus]

Can't see the problem.

[nicebloke1]

Sunak made an effort.

[vulcan42]

The man said sorting the economy would be good for business, the PM replied " Do you have… do you work in business?"
If he had said "Did you have... did you work in business", that would have made more sense but it was only a minor slip.

When you have such a massive difference between 2 people its always going to be hard to whip up a quick chat.

Perhaps everyone should have been issued with badges stating their circumstances. ‘Organiser’, charity worker’ ‘helper’, ‘homeless’. Now all
practice walking on eggshells. One, two, three …GO!

[gness]

Oh dear god. No wonder the UK is in a mess. :-(

[naomi24]

We suffer.

[johnk]

Proof that he's not part of the real world

[naomi24]

Off with his head!

I enjoy sarcasm, but idiocy is why I read some threads here.
Please don't disappoint.

"The last Labour government nearly eliminated rough sleeping, the next one will finish the job and end it for good."

Better tell them not to ditch their cardboard boxes any time soon then.

[daveinscotland]

Strangely, never seen a ‘homeless’ with a badge and a lanyard though?
But then I’d try and keep it about the weather if I was serving behind the hot plate of a shelter.

[naomi24]

The homeless man introduced the subject of the economy and business into the conversation.

[CoolBritannia]

Yet another non-story.

[daveinscotland]

Yeah, so much of a non story that the MSM covered it. The guy mentioned the economy and the PM asked him if he worked in the business.
Must have thought he was still at the CBI dinner instead of a homeless shelter?
Easy mistake to make.

[CoolBritannia]

It was a perfectly reasonable exchange between the two

After Dean said that sorting the economy would be good for business, Mr Sunak then asked: "Do you have… do you work in business?"

Just a non-story whipped up to throw the gullible into yet another bizarre frenzy.

[naomi24]

And it worked. The gullible are all frenzied up. :o)

[Lie-in King]

Nothing to see here, move along.

[naomi24]

LiK, you have a full house!
Every post in new posts is one of yours! :o)

If Rishi is beginning to irritate the AB Left, he must be doing something right.
Perhaps I'm beginning to warm to him after all. :0)
