    I see the Cabinet office mandarins ( are there any left ) seem to have been to the same school at Zero Gidders.

    ***Online petition figures released***

    Total number of petitions submitted: 36,000 — Source: Cabinet Office

    Go to petition website itself , reports

    Open = 10000
    Closed = 5500
    Rejected = 13800

          You all miss an important point. How many petitions were actually debated?
          Did you get your EU In/Out referendum as a result of the petition?
          Democracy isn’t working and politicians are pissing in our faces

          • Tristram Smallbore-ffipps says:

            Well what do you expect. The latter is Hague’s favourite activity on a Friday night at the Westminster S&M Club.

            .
            BigHitterHague causes a diplomatic storm….and sabotages his bid for the leadership of the Tory party.
            .
            Michael Gove, son of knife carrying Heseltine and Portillo licks his lips…while BlondBombshellBoris has a hoot.

    Guido. We all know deep down that you are a Dave apologist.

    While your secret love is away, any chance of telling us who is actually running the country….we all need a good laugh.

          I know you dont want to here this…but the Man ( ???? ) in charge is none other than Bill*y Boy V*ague… Discuss.

            Oi leave our Little Willy alone, he is trying his best.
            Today i came across this in a novel I was reading, I wonder if this rings a few bells with you laddies. This novel was actually first printed in 1936 in a french novel by Gabriel Chevallier, “Fortuntely, the attitude of her son in law, Oscar de Saint-Choul, to extentatoned for it. Having no prpfessionor capacity for active work, this young nobleman was aimingat a political candidature of a complexion as yet as yet to be determined, for prudence suggested that itwould be well to refrain from giving offense to any party until his convictions were definitely proclaimed; and this he wouldpostpone until the lastpossible moment, in order to avoid all risk of making a mistake andof being unduly hasty in his professionof faith.” This novel was about the antics of small French town big wigs, nowt really changes does it?

      That’s an easy one to answer, who is running the country? (and not only ours into the ground), Mr Rumpey and Co.

      Moussa you won’t win that argument on here. Most on here have less heart than the Tin Man.
      This government would make Thatcher blush on some of the things they’re doing.

      If I won (silly) lottery money the first thing I’d do would be to re-open the Remploy centres.

        In fact Smith and Grayling would have Stephen Hawking stacking shelves for their supermarket buddies if they could.

          And how many of the registered disabled has Chris Grayling helped off benefits and into full time real jobs this week?

    If you are going to pick a fight:

    1. Know in advance you are going to win it.

    2. Know what you stand to gain when you win

    I learnt these simple rules through my comprehensive education in Wales.

    I did not have the benefit of an Eton or Oxbridge education.

    At least seven striking miners shot dead by Police for striking in South Africa.

    Lonmin PLC in the forefront. Still allowed to trade today in London just like good old Standard Chartered.

    Still playing cricket against the South African state as well.

Ed Balls stretches credulity by claiming he isn’t ambitious

“I would love to be part of Ed’s Labour government but what I do next for me is not an all-consuming passion. I’m more bothered, in a personal sense, about getting to grade 8 piano by the time I’m 50.”
