ENGLAND'S GLORY
Grundly moaning, good mates. I greet you well.
Allow me to introduce you to three (there are more just like them) of His Majesty's senior ministers, members of Sir Keir Starmer's cabinet.
First is Miatta Fahnbulleh. Miatta (who may be named after a communicable disease) has had the wizard idea that if you can't win an election, then the best thing to do is to cancel it, giving reasons as the excuse. Having already cancelled one set of elections last year for similar mysterious reasons, Ms Fahnbulleh has cancelled the next elections in exactly the same areas too.
Strange to say, these are all areas in which Reform UK was and is expected to win more than comfortably, while Ms Fahnbulleh's own Labour Party is on course to sink into electoral oblivion.
Odd that. Something very Africa circa 1974 about all this.
Second, David Lammy (motto: "Everything Is Racist" ), the man who intends to cancel jury trials. 800 years of legal history chucked in the bin. Bollocks to Magna Carta, eh? Common Law's most noble principle, bequeathed to all of the English-speaking world - who needs it?
The excuse is a trial back-log of 80,000 cases. Well there really wouldn't be such a back-log if so many of those 80,000 cases didn't involve people who look suspiciously like David Lammy, or be of "Middle-Eastern Appearance", as Plod puts it.
Lammy is a regular entrant and winner of the Most Stupid Man In The World, competition, and we're very proud of him. Next year he's entering the Most Stupid Human Being Who Ever Lived competition. Despite stiff competition from American entrant Tim Walz, David is quietly confident.
And third, Shabana Mahmood. Shabana is a practising Muslim. She tries not to look like that in public (doesn't go down well with the punters), but in the privacy of her own religious prison she can let go a bit. Be herself.
Shabana is in charge of our immigration policy. 'Nuff said.
It never ceases to amaze me - really, it doesn't - I never would have guessed - that when you put the products of the Third World in charge of government, you quickly end up with something that closely resembles the Third World.
Who'd have thunk it?
Congratulations to @Missmommapanda. Your question was chosen for tonight’s Ask Greg and the Panelists.
@Missmommapanda Thinking back to your childhood: were you a ‘truth’ kid or a ‘dare’ kid - and what’s the funniest or most unforgettable moment you can actually share with us today?
We are so grateful to have found The Gutter and to be part of a place where we can meet wonderful people and feel a real sense of community. We truly have so much to be thankful for, and today we love to celebrate that together.
Please share your Thanksgiving moments with us—what you’re thankful for, what made you smile, or the simple joys that made today special.
As for me, I’m thankful that my family is healthy and happy, that the kids have their homes and their jobs, and that I can pause during the day to notice something in nature I don’t see every day…..flock of starlings murmuring around our refinery.
Those little moments mean everything.
Happy Thanksgiving from my heart to yours.
Congratulations to @APalm, @Pam_Antosiak, @RockNRollHS. Your questions were chosen for tonight’s.Ask Greg and the Panelists.
@APalm Who's a celebrity that is universally considered attractive, but they just don't do it for you?
@Pam_Antosiak At your current level of professional success, do you still have a five year plan? And if you do, where do you want to be in five years?
@RockNRollHS What is it that annoys you the most these days?
“Feeding the Dude”
I’ve joined a ‘Fleet Fueling’ service which gives me a discount on my Diesel.
When you have to feed a pachyderm, every little bit helps.
This refueling netted me a $60.11 discount off of the total ‘pump’ price.
