A thank you to Brexiteers.

I think we will see a fair bit of Sammy this week.

Is he frolicking in the buff again?

Spoiler: Max Robespierre's take on Sunak's sleight of hand

 

[bimble]

It’s really amazing that sunak said what he did, how does it happen in his brain that he thinks this and also thinks brexit is a good idea, or has he been pretending his brexiteerism the whole time idk.

I tried some AI art ...
"Sunak card trick" and "Sunak shell game"

 

[bimble]

whats the shell game? i don't like all this AI arts stuff, makes me feel queasy.

It's that thing where you hide a peanut under 3 walnut shells and rotate them about ...

... see also "spiv" and "used car salesman" ...

Except maybe he knows exactly what he's doing ...

 

[gentlegreen]

Perhaps even keeping Braverman is some sort of deliberate devil's advocate ploy ...

Careful, TopCat will call you a Tory

 

[brogdale]

Thread was getting me down, so I thought I'd get away from it and go for a walk over to Croydon...



Just when I thought I was out....

 

[gentlegreen]

Almost a shame the self-styled pirate hasn't returned to comment on what Sunak said.
Has anyone worked out his previous haunt and identity ?

 

[CyberRose]

I've been teaching my ChatGPT to be sarcastic. Here's its answer to why the UK left the EU...

Reckon Johnson should give up on bankers; he'd get a better show of hands on here from the lexit gang

Prophetic words by John Major.

I'm no Tory, but he did say a lot about the mess that was to come.

Is what he said worth listening to tho?

Have a listen for yourself, but surprisingly yes!

 

[Serge Forward]

I very much doubt it.

 

[The39thStep]

Pity he

Is what he said worth listening to tho?

"When your back is against the wall, there is only one thing to do, and that is turn around and fight.” which would of course mean that he would then be facing the wall rather than whatever he was going to fight.

Not too sure he was that prophetic with the ERM and Black Friday either tbh

That was the spitting image puppet though.

 

[Raheem]

That was the spitting image puppet though.

I don't think it was. Maybe spitting image did a version of it, but he really said it. I think the actual quote included something like "We will do what the English have always done: we will turn around and fight".

 

[two sheds]

Hard to tell though

Ah no I meant it was the spitting image puppet in that interview.

 

[PR1Berske]

I quite liked John Major. His is the voice of a conservativism which has been snuffed out by the Trumpian-Johnsonian extremists.

How old were you when he was actually in office?

11 to 17. I was allowed to stay up late to watch by-election results and all that so I was quite the nerd about news and politics. My grandad had been a miner from 14 to retirement so I knew all about this big bad creature called "Thatcher" soon enough!

I'm no Tory (he says, hastily). I just remember hearing him try to find consensus on everything while his party fell apart around him. And given where we are now, I'd be happy with consensus rather than extremists.

 

[bimble]

John Major’s dad, I vaguely knew he was a music hall / circus performer but in fact he needs a 12 part Netflix biography with Tom hardy in it.

He presided over the CJB/CJA. He can fuck off with the rest.

Nor to mention introducing jsa

I recall a remark that he ran away from the circus to become an accountant.
