Why would he lie?
Isn't that standard procedure for anyone having an affair?

Bit weird and waay more of an age gap than I'd do but has he done anything illegal? You know, like Led Zep keeping an underage girl on a tour bus and only letting her out to hose the jiz out?
Or Bill Wyman with his 13 year old girlfriend who I can't remember the name of right now. Mandy Smith?

It's all a bit clutching at pearls isn't it?
From the above you implicitly condone behaviour like this on the basis that because it's been done before that makes it acceptable now.

Good grief.
Are you just being obtuse of are you genuinely that daft?

Did you miss the part where I said it was waay more of an age gap than I would be happy with?
Mind, I guess you've had a long spell of daytime TV to really become annoyed with Schofield.

I can see it now, paddling round the house in yer trollies looking like the Martians from Mars Attacks and winding yourself up.
Ugh, maybe better not.
The "age gap" is not the issue.

Dr Yadav refused to say whether he chose to take taurine supplements himself, for fear of unduly influencing people.

I'm sure a balanced diet is best, and I believe humans are are carnivores, so it makes sense that we are programmed to operate best with meat as well as veg!


My biggest issue with people saying meat is bad is that often they then choose to buy and eat veggies/milks that are flown half way around the world before being used. Surely that creates more bad 'fumes' than the herds of cows required to provide meat?!

President Trump indicted for walking on the grass. Apparently, several years ago, someone saw him walk on the grass outside the Whitehouse. While that's not illegal enough to stop him from running for President again, apparently when questioned, he did not admit to it which is close enough to lying for us and is therefore a serious breach of National Security.

So while President Biden has of course been walking on the grass, it was totally an accident and not a problem at all, same goes for everybody else who isn't Trump.

Due to the seriousness of the allegations, the DOJ will be seeking the death penalty.

Boris Johnson is to step down as an MP with immediate effect after receiving the Partygate report.

That report was produced by the MP-led Privileges Committee which was looking into whether he misled Parliament.

Every job that Johnson has had he's either been sacked from or left with no option but to resign from, all because of lying. The bloke wouldn't know the truth if he tripped over it.

From a personal perspective, living outside the UK I watch what happens with a sort of detached amusement. The exchange rate is the most important thing the UK affects in my life at the moment.

We were in France last year during the Truss fiasco. I overheard two conversations that went "Fronch Fonch Fronch ... Prime Minister HaHaHa ... Fronch Fronch"

Several months later, the repercussions are substantial reduction in the value of my pension funds, mainly invested in supposedly safe gilts.

Coward. So, he's decided to go rather than be chucked out. That's big and brave of him.

Anyone want to start a book on by how much the tories will lose Bozo's seat?


Will anyone actually notice that Nadine Dorries has also buggered off? How big will the tory loss by for that seat?

Pension funds are for the long term, not a quick profit and I hope you're a couple of years from dipping into them. If you think the French were amusing, have a search on Youtube for the Aussie take on the trade deal, they were laughing their cocks off at Boris and the concessions the stupid wanker gave.

Hah :(

I retire next Friday - so most of the investments have been moved into the 'safer' investments - and it's a year before the state pension kicks in. I've put the private pots on hold in the hope that gilts improve.

Luckily, I have some years in a final salary scheme and Filly will continue working for another year.

One of the best Prime Ministers since Thatcher, it's a shame he's been the subject of such a witch hunt, but that's what you get I suppose for championing Brexit, with the left wing blob at the helm of the civil service.

It's absolutely no coincidence that Sue Gray had an office in number 10 and is now going to be Kier Starmers Chief of Staff. It's also no coincidence that the leader of the Privileges Committee is a Labour MP. If people think this is democratic politics, think again.

Brilliant comparison, glad you put in the effort.

Former President Donald Trump has been charged with mishandling hundreds of classified files, including about US nuclear weapons and military plans.

The 37-count indictment accuses him of keeping the documents at his Florida estate, including in a ballroom and bathroom, and lying to investigators.

He's a lying cunt, he's always been a lying cunt and he's finally been found out. He's been sacked from just about every job he's ever had for lying, and this is no exception.

Get over it.
