I preferred The Real McCoy's take on it, where a Madhur Jaffrey lookalike describes all the ingredients you need for an excellent curry then says "But if you have white friends coming over..." (sweeps everything onto the floor, slams down king size tub of Super Strength Curry Powder) "... forget it! They think pilau is something you rest your head on!"

I'll credit Kelsey Grammer with not letting his politics taint his roles, and in some cases, like Sideshow Bob Roberts, actively allowing the writers to take the piss out of it.

Yeah the only thing he deserves poo poo for on that front is the abortion called the Half Hour News Hour. I have a pretty high tolerance and can only do about 2 minutes of that when endurance-running it.

Guavanaut posted:I thought food was one of the few things that would be cheaper if we left no deal, because the market could be flooded with cheap American and Russian produce. Its not cheap American and Russian, its mostly South American thats the competitors to the UK's farmers - and they will under cut the UK colossally. They already do even with the massive tariffs they have under the EU's WTO deal. Its all thanks to them not giving a poo poo about their own countries or livestock so they slash and burn it all to the ground and treat their animals like sit; its completely unsustainable long term due to the ground is becoming barren but its a quick buck.

You can put me down as a point of contact for anyone who's interested in joining the Cotswolds CLP (yes, we do have one). Unfortunately I've only just started attending meetings consistently myself, so I can't exactly provide much information myself, but I'll do what I can to answer queries.

Sorry about your suffering under the immortal god-king of the Cotswolds, Geoffrey Clifton-Brown. Come to Stroud for a drink if you want to feel hope sometime. I'd put myself down as the go-to Stroud CLP guy but I'm not sure how long I'll be staying here and haven't actually made it to a single meeting in the past couple of years anyway so...

quote:Labour’s Lisa Nandy says three years ago she gave May evidence of whips using information about sexual abuse to demand loyalty from MPs. Nandy says on three occasions she asked her to act, and on three occasions May refused. That doesn't look great for May, but then again when has that ever mattered?

Nandy says on three occasions she asked her to act, and on three occasions May refused. Thinking on it, not only is the list vague on what, specifically, is being spoken of (like the Fallon thing), but it implies the whips had this information, and the MPs knew the whips had it. Now Lisa Nandy is saying MPs are being compromised by their own party. I still think the Fallon thing sticks out as potentially most explosive, and I hope that actual good journalists are checking to confirm if the whips told the defence secretary they knew he sexually assaulted a drunk colleague.

The small boys thing was Tim Fortescue, there's modern articles going back to 2014 about it. Wikipedia posted:Fortescue worked as a whip in Edward Heath’s government between 1970 and 1973. In a 1995 BBC documentary, Westminster’s Secret Service, he said the following about what the Whips would do for MPs who were in danger of being mired in scandal:[6] If Fortescue was questioned during Conifer, Midland or IICSA I can't find mention of it.

From a few months back, but I strongly suggest putting aside some time and reading the EU’s Brexit impact assessment. It’s a fascinating and quietly terrifying read.
