Happy Birthday! Your present* is a LibDem Nick Clegg Mug!

Alternatively, you could get** a (40% off!) Labour Party keyring/bottle opener, or a Conservative Party golf umbrella (as used by David Cameron and Theresa May!).

*Present you buy for yourself.
**Yourself.

Ah, more brainwashed republicans who don't know what they're talking about.

As opposed to, what, blindly-following royalists?

Snow! Snow everywhere, snow falls here and snow falls there!

But not here in Cornwall, because we're all inbred. :3

No. As opposed to well-informed people with reasonable arguments that have been disproven over and over again.

I think a better present would be to not give my money to any of those wankers

Damn, I wish I could find that scene from the Whoops Apocalypse film with the Prime Minister handing out the umbrellas as a protective against nuclear strikes.

But only to those who voted Conservative.

We got snow in Birmingham and no-one died! It was dead exciting...

A guitar from Argos, A Frankie Boyle book and a packet of Cadbury's digestives as well as a £15 i-tunes voucher.

You can't complain, can you? Planning on learning guitar then? It's a good instrument.

I think we can all agree to name Gordon Brown Eternal President and be done with the whole thing.

Remember, folks, look at the name, not the flag.

I did. Thanks very much.

As regards the Lords, I completely agree. Even the concept of two chambers of Parliament, representing the same electorate, but having different compositions and disagreements, is something of an absurdity. There's all manner of possible options and combinations of options, and I think that'll probably be the Achilles heel of any reform attempt- proposals will take so long to finalise that they'll only get to Parliament close enough to the election to not make it through in time. But I do worry about this government's tendency to push everything through with haste.

Hopefully the plans will just fizzle out and be quietly abandoned. Since the Hereditaries cannot be brought back, the best Lords would be one chosen by an independent organisation and the Queen, consisting entirely of appointees who are experts in their field (doctors, surgeons, lawyers, barristers, businessmen and so on), who can truly scrutinise a Bill through deploying their expert knowledge and give a strong, high analytical point of view on the effects of a proposed Law. I doubt that will ever happen though, since the last thing a Government wants is a Lords truly out of their control.

Great news! It's already been so watered-down that Labour might oppose it! Then, assuming all the rainbow minors and the DUP vote against it, only 40-50 Tories would have to rebel to defeat it.

I do love how the comments section includes umpteen different proposals for the new Lords, though.

Just because I'm not actually Keronians doesn't mean my idea isn't entirely sensible.

You're borrowing people's identities now?

Distruziorgizm?

And Brown looks so sad and weary...

Tagmatium wrote:You're borrowing people's identities now?

Yeah, I was away doing a bit of soul searching to find out who I really am or some other bollocks like that. But then I came back and thought it'd be easier to just be other people. I'm going round the whole region.

Distruziorgizm?

I like it. My favourite so far was Aerogizm, since most of the region joined in with that one.

And Brown looks so sad and weary...

He's actually dead already, but nobody noticed

I asked for the biscuits since my parents have been brainwashed by the green shirts into healthy eating bollocks so my mum wont buy biscuits or chocolate any more. I'm stuck snacking on fucking Go Bars.

And yeah, trying to learn the guitar. Although its a little annoying how my tiny hands can't actually stretch properly between the frets.
