Almost nothing in common, apart from the womanizing. Les Patterson can be quite erudite. His book The Traveller's Tool is far more literary than any of the Trump tomes.
Quote: A Horseradish @ 29th March 2017, 9:55 PMDear Nick Clegg,
How exactly will European people who have been in Britain since before 1973 be adversely affected?
Clarification would be helpful to help put the minds of anyone in a similar position at ease.
Regards,
Horseradish
Dear Horseradish
Nick Clegg here. It's wonderful to know we have a swing voter out there. In fact my wife keeps trying to get me to go over to the swingers party.
You ask how the Europeans living in Britain will be affected. Well, learning about sarcasms and self deprivation is a steep learning curve for a none Brit. Since Brexit, the rates of sarcasm have gone through the roof. Every time someone says United Kingdom, my wife is in hysterics. When Boris became Foreign Secretary I laughed until I wet myself.
Mind you, we'll need a sense of humour when everyone finds out that Britain can't wag the dog (by that I mean Merkel). So get out there and export or something, otherwise you are a traitor. Remember you can't argue with no takie backies.
Lots of love and hugs (please write again)
Cleggy Clogs.

The question - is Michael Howard going senile, or is he just a f**king eejit?

The latter...........most definitely. Waste of f**king space. Lord F**king Howard, and what do they get just for turning up at the House of F**king Wasters EACH DAY?...................£350.
F**king obscene.

It's a plan.
They're trying to stir up anti-European feeling to engender an "us against them" mindset.
Then, when we get a shitty deal (which we will), they'll tell us we plucky Brits have to "go it alone" and it'll mean "tough times".
Then the Tories will double-down on austerity, dismantle those pesky regulations that get in the way of business - like workers rights, environmental policies, etc etc - that those nasty Europeans foisted on us.
And thus the people who voted for this carnage will find themselves hoist by their own ill-informed petard.

Reminds me of this:
urple">When Helen Beristain told her husband she was voting for Donald Trump last year, he warned her that the Republican nominee planned to "get rid of the Mexicans."
Defending her vote, Helen quoted Trump directly, noting that the tough-talking Republican said he would only kick the "bad hombres" out of the country, according to the South Bend Tribune.
Months later, Roberto Beristain -- a successful businessman, respected member of his Indiana town and father of three American-born children -- languishes in a detention facility with hardened criminals as he awaits his deportation back to Mexico, the country he left in 1998 when he entered the United States illegally.
"I wish I didn't vote at all," Helen Beristain told the Tribune.

That sounds all too likely.

Well he won't have to worry about being in prison for much longer - we'll all be blown to smithereens when Trump starts a war with North Korea.
My God, you step away for a minute and the nay sayers are in full song.
It's good news for the sandwich board makers though - they'll be making a packet selling their 'The end is nigh' boards.
North Korea are a serious threat............ a few words of 'come over here and say that' might just quell their ambitions.
Mutually assured destruction has kept the peace for 70/80 years.
Welcome back Stephen
Thanks Will.
Maybe in the light of the recent sad post... others that replied but haven't posted in a while will be tempted back.
Not unless the ice cream parlour look is changed I fear.
(legs it before Mark/Aaron have another go at me)
I know I said this on the RC obit thread, but welcome back..........again.

It should be noted that he was picked up and ordered to leave the country (voluntary deportation) in 2000 (Clinton administration) but he refused to leave. He broke the law and breaking the law usually has consequences.
According to new sciological research, men buy pornography to express a universal need traditionally associated with guilt and transpose it to one of euphoria. Far from constituting a threat, the user aims to purge himself of baser instincts so as to present a healthier public persona and contribute to a safer envirionment. Paradoxically, his urge is to reassert the superiority of the female form, which may act as a trope or broader feminist emancipation: Consider the rising number of female employees in mass media. He further provides income to those lacking means and qualifications which our society wrongly takes for granted... Wow. I thought I just like wanking.

The North Korean leader recently pledged to reduce the United States to ashes via nuclear weapons and another nuke test is expected in the near future, so anyone who says that North Korea isn't a threat should have their head examined.
Trump's bluster is just an effort to get China to crack down on their psychotic stepson.
