He’s my local MP and during the last election he was standing outside my station on a Monday morning handing out his own pamphlets. He had a coffee and it was really tempting to not bottoms up the thing onto his multi-million pound shirt.
Fuck off with bothering people already annoyed at having to go to work on a monday morning. At least the jehova’s witnesses stand in the parking lot with their bookshelves and bring girls.

Wow, re routing rivers? Am I the new nostradamus? (more like predicting octopus)
I joke about America buying Britain out but damn, with the way it’s going it’s seeming more and more plausible.

Interesting to see what Trump, as a non believer in climate change has to say about Khan’s latest headline.

It’s a start. Unfortunately this kind of thing will probably effect small businesses more than the big boys … but the pollution where I live and work is about 200 x the legal limit, official advice is to stay indoors and avoid exercise when it’s particularly bad, wtf

Diesel needs to be phased out and fast.

Good news for FUCT. He said he’d win this. It means he can go after all the counterfeits now that he can register as a trademark. Same goes for FA, I guess.
