Today's my birthday but I feel like last month was really when I got the best presents, between Corbyn/Watson winning and David Cameron loving A Dead Pig. e; in 139 AD, Marcus Aurelius is proclaimed Caesar, the last of the Five Good Emperors. His death in 180 would usher in a time of considerable troubles, in part because he named his trueborn son, Commodus, as heir. This highlights the regressive and inevitably failed nature of dynastic politics and inheritance, and we should institute a 100% estate tax immediately.

Prince John posted:This article about domestic slavery and caste discrimination in the UK is bad enough, but I just saw this and spat feathers: But this can't be right, didn't our glorious (if slightly hammy round the nethers) leader just get finished telling those ungrateful Jamaican colonials that the UK has already wiped slavery "off the face of our planet"? Lot of people moaning when they should be grateful.

Lot of people moaning when they should be grateful. I think he was too busy thinking of his porcine lover and he actually meant to say the UK has already wiped slavery from the face of Witney. That was a pretty dumb thing for him to say though. vv Perfect! Oink. I can't wait for the next PMQs. Prince John fucked around with this message at 17:21 on Oct 2, 2015 |

You have a point - he was possibly thinking "we have wiped the slavers off the face of our pork" now I think about it.

I wonder when our governments will realise that on the global stage Britain are considered 'the bad guys' - I mean Christ alive his patting himself on the back for Britain 'ending slavery' while making no mention of the fact that Britain perpetrated it for centuries. It's like congratulating yourself for tiring out after kicking a homeless man for 20 minutes.

It's a matter of record that you have to burn a £50 note in front of a homeless person to get in. I doubt that your fellow club-members would object if you put a few kicks in as well.

It'd be crueller to give the £50 note to a homeless person, and then watch him desperately try to spend it while slowly starving to death because none of the shops will take it.

Burning a £50 note removes it from the money supply and gives whatever meagre pennies the homeless person might happen to have on him greater purchasing power. Really he should be thankful.

Darth Walrus posted:In really neat news, the University of Birmingham have found fragments of a Koran in their archives that appear to be almost as old as Islam itself. The researchers and local imams are appropriately hyped. Birmingham is the place with the no-go zones right? Literally so loving Muslim that they are starting to find ancient fragments of the Koran. poo poo they don't even find in like Afghanistan. You'd have to go to like Saudi Arabia to find stuff like that. And it's where Mecca is.

Yeah, it's one of those things from that email forward about Muslims. As long as the Muslim population of a locality remains around 1% they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness. At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. When Muslims reach around 15% of the population, fragments of the Original Koran will begin materializing, showing a preference for places where books and papers are normally found (libraries, archives, etc). When Muslims reach over 25% of the population, time will begin to distort, journeys will be much longer or shorter than usual, reportings of Djinn appearing in or around churches will start to happen.

If anything, Islam possessing the ability to transform reality into Rise of Legends would only make me more supportive of immigration. I want to live in a floating city powered by magic crystals.

Greetings from the audience of Any Questions comrades, Hilary Benn is here with Ken Clarke, the woman from Chumbawumba, and a fascist who used to be in Brookside.  Any suggestions for questions that won't end up with me on a watch list?

The Institute of Directors disagrees with you most vehemently, sir! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/georgeosborne/11907392/George-Osborne-should-abolish-inheritance-tax-in-its-entirety.html quote:It is seen as unfair because it does not catch the truly wealthy, who are able to disperse the assets in plenty of time before they die. Instead it falls upon those who have used their already taxed income to build up modest assets over the course of their lifetime, normally in the form of their home but also their ISAs and savings for retirement. Note that the current threshold for Inheritance Tax is £325k of assets, tho the Tories are raising that to £1 million in the case of housing wealth.

The good weather keeping me busy at work is the only thing that has spared you fuckers a second nuclear effortpost, woe betide you when autumn starts acting properly, and we get some lovely lovely weather rather than this terrible, glorious sun. Cooked liver, mash and onions every week for years when I was a mental health worker, and while I hate the taste of it myself, staff/patients/visitors all seemed to love it  **edit  He's got the right line on soft drinks, but where does he stand on salted snacks?
