Fine. "How much longer will that fucking arsehole Johnson last as PM until he runs out of favour with his talentless yes-men"
"It was this alone that drew so many Europeans to colonial North America: the dream in the settler mind of each man becoming a petty lord of his own land. Thus, the tradition of individualism and egalitarianism in America was rooted in the poisoned concept of equal privileges for a new nation of European conquerors." J. Sakai

Thats a good one, but i have no idea who the potential candidates would be lol, would need a lot of help from the rest of you on that one

She's not claiming that there have been 11 world wars; she's fairly obviously just typed 'WW11' instead of 'WWII'.

Given that Ms Dorries is known to be dyslexic, this is a fairly moronic thing for people to criticise her over.

The bolded is true. But not because of a typo.

Edit: Incidentally, I saw a thing today that said the cost of wooden pallets has gone up from 7 euros to 27 euros. How is that affecting your upcoming celebrations?

We have decided to adopt more child and disabled friendly bonfire stratagems this year round to cope with the shortages of pallets due to the increased costs in some areas, so that all may participate in the absence of proper 10 story tall bonfires.

However due to generous donations gathered over the last year, most bonfires will go off without a hitch and three times the number of Lambegs will also be provided so you may belt out the tunes just like your father did in that sash he wore.

what if people do the 12th bonfires...because bonfires are kinda fun and you can make an evening out of it.

catholics should just have their own bonfires too so they dont feel left out. burn other countries flags too if you feel like it.

Nationalists did have bonfires.

Also, the bonfires on the Twelfth are not your local Scout group's campfire. They are teetering, monumental piles of pallets, as big as a three or four story building, constructed with minimal regard for safety.

Andrew Bridgen and Steve Baker have said they may stand for election to the 1922 executive committee. Both critics of Johnson, so no doubt they would push for a rule change so another vote of no confidence could take place.

Steve Baker is my least favourite MP.
