Its a start. A friend of mine is on benefits and smokes about 30 a day. Then she wonders why she doesn't have much money to spare. I've suggested she give up or cut down but she can't, apparently. There was a couple on the news a few weeks back saying they couldn't afford to feed their children so they had to feed them on takeaways. That doesn't make sense either.

Goodwill was born in Terrington, North Riding of Yorkshire, and was privately educated at the Quaker Bootham School in York, and the University of Newcastle upon Tyne where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in agriculture in 1979.
Not short of a bob or two then?

[Peter Pedant]

He's not wrong

Can we not get a new Oliver Cromwell back to tell a lot of these self-serving MPs to"In the name of God,go.Go now"and also get Guy Fawkes back to tell the HOL to do the proper thing and vacate the premises immediately....or else.

[THECORBYLOON]

A desire for a modern-day regicidal dictator and a religious terrorist?

With that combination, what could possibly go wrong?

[ynnafymmi]

Couldna be ony worse than the present day combination o Wee Burney or Bonking Johnson.

He probably has never wanted in his life ... but he's right.

//TTT – has your support for Liz Truss evaporated, your avatar has reverted to an image of a grinning buffoon?//

It miraculously changed the day I pointed out to him that voting for a Remainer, anti-monarchist flip-flopper who likes to slate British workers is not very patriotic, to which he offered no reply.
What a pair of anti-British poltroons, eh?
He’s not mentioned Mrs Flip-Flop since. PMSL.

FCI 09.04 I see the other merchant ranker JRM is agreeing with Truss and slating the British workers.
Suppose he will now get a plumb job in her Cabinet ....if elected
