I don't think she's 'frit'. I think she arrogant, pig-headed, and by hook or by crook (mostly crook!) determined to keep us in the EU.

[Khandro]

Am I the only person that doesn't know what 'frit' means?

[bhg481]

Khandro - frightened.

[Cloverjo]

I think you must be now, Khandro. It's explained just below the headline.

Hopeless stuff from Skinner.
Time he retired.
You know something is wrong when the Beast starts quoting Thatcher.
One of the best Labour contributions came from Jess Phillips. Sadly she’s very much in the minority.

[Khandro]

ichi; His delivery may be a tad theatrical, but what he says is absolutely accurate - Brussels is terrified that Britain makes a success of leaving, and plenty of others in the EU are watching with interest.

Now I know what frit is (and it's not a potato chip), if I knew what Tgl meant I'd be in the full picture.

TGL = The Gruesome Lady

[Khandro]

ken; Thank you, TTFN (ta-ta for now)

[Jackdaw33]

TGL - The GREAT lady.

[Ken4155]

Sorry to misinform you, Khandro. I was being facetious, though 'Great' and 'Gruesome' all depended on which banner you marched under at the time.

[Gromit]

TGL = The Great Leader.

I thought Skinner was pretty rambly and in incoherent tbh.

[naomi24]

^I thought so too.

[emmie]

i watched much of the debate yesterday and he came across as a grumpy old man but he did have a point.

[ludwig]

//I thought Skinner was pretty rambly and in incoherent tbh.//

Yes. It's time he stood down before it becomes embarrassing.

[ichkeria]

That time long passed ludders

[Ellipsis]

He made a right Bolsover it ...

[gulliver1]

I know what TGT stands for.

[ToraToraTora]

do you know what TVI stands for?

Prhaps he'd been to breakfast with Junker the drunker?

I dislike skinners politics but he is one of the old stalwarts you just have to have a gruding (if you are Tory) admiration for. Very few polticians on either side of the house like it now.
