A blundering minister said a woman from Bolton who is looking for work should apply for a job in 'nearby' Sunderland - which is in fact 143 miles away.
Economic secretary Chloe Smith said the part-time carer should look for a full-time job at the expanding Nissan factory in the north-east.
If the worker was to commute to Sunderland, the journey would take two-and-a-half hours to drive - or four hours on the train.
Ignorant Tory prat
I've now become so jaded and disinterested in modern culture that I thought all of this Kony stuff on Facebook was to do with a new rapper.
People wonder how this child abductor rose to such prominence, but I think his name sounding like an ice cream van probably had a lot to do with it.
The only way to beat Kony is to organise all the kids in Uganda into a big militia to fight him. Of course they'd have to be armed and you'd need to be quite brutal with them to stop them just bunking off...
Oh, someone just shoot him. What's the big deal. He's clearly an arsehole.
Who me?
Piss off!
As for Kony he's just the new Baden Powel, except because he's black everyone picks on him.

It doesn't make him a paedophile.

I've been watching Royal Marines: Mission Afghanistan and a severely injured Marine said something like "I'd like to go back there with a chain gun and kill every last one of the Taliban."

I'm guessing that's also not strictly "doing your duty" as the Lieutenant was talking about.

Killing Taliban is their duty.

Killing every last one of them, you said. I think murdering captives is still considered a war crime, isn't it?
Not if they're brown captives.
What was it Tommy Trinder said?
'Somebody said to me if the Germans catch you they'll shoot you. I said if they can catch me, they're entitled to shoot me!'
