Laurence Fox. The twat.

What a load of bollocks.

The paperclip wasn't invented in Norway. It was patent protected in the US in 1867 but was in production in Britain in the 1870s. There's a Norwegian that invented a different design about 20 years after that but it never went into production, in Norway or anywhere else, because this design wasn't as efficient at securing paper as earlier designs.

The patriot stuff is apparently true although based on the false claim that the paperclip was invented in Norway.

ETA: there's a monument to the Norwegian inventor and the Norwegian Post Office also issued a stamp in his honour - both feature the earlier US/British design we know and love today, not his actual design.

Of course he won't do the honourable thing , resign his seat & run for them in the By-election 🤣 he'll trouser his MP salary until the Tories get booted out.

That was covered in the BBC link posted earlier.

Asked if he would now call a by-election, Mr Bridgen said there would be a general election next year and that he didn't want to put his constituents through "the rigour of having two elections in 12 months".

Good that he's thinking of his constituents and not himself. ;)
 
Besides, here I live in a ward with 3 seats on the borough council, one is up for election each year, and on the fourth year I have the joy of the county councils election, before the cycle repeats again, it's a bit of a pain, but not a major problem.
 
Every time current events get me a bit down, I come across this thread. Normally I'm prim about taking the piss of people when they can't help being the way they are, but joyfully point and laugh at Lozza. 'Specially when he whinges about having no career. Well that's your own stupid fault then you entitled cretin. Most people try not to be a liability that can be seen from space if they want to keep their job
 
New chalk-and-cheese detective show drops this week on ITVX: in Soupestayne & Crusty-Boxers a pair of middle-class, middle-aged white men passed over for promotion yet again for daring to challenge their woke bosses are paired together and tasked with setting up a special unit to tackle the crimes 'they' don't want to - women who want it all, uppity immigrants, ex-wives with attitude, schoolkids who don't leap to their feet on hearing the opening bars of the national anthem, insufficiently large poppies, half of all divorce lawyers...
