I was going to insert an ' a' but thought better of it. On a couple of radio stations they have a plonker of the week, shall we do the same ? :clap: It can be anyone, someone we all know obviously, I mean Scrumpy cannot nominate Sharon from her Co-op :cool:
My nomination for this Saturday is The Archbishop of Canterbury, bless his cotton socks....
Sorry I meant Tracy 😀
Presumably on his performance in the Lords.
I didn't watch the Coronation but something I went to on the Sunday between acts was showing bits from it and it looked to me like the silly sod thought the crown had to be screwed onto Charlie boys head. If that had been Henry the VIII I reckon he'd have been more careful.
It looked lob sided ! :smiley:
Yes, the HOL no idea why a clergyman should be in there anyway...
I'd support your choice 100% Alex.
He doesn't seen keen on going to see the boss...

I got annoyed at him earlier in the week but for a different reason. When Charles was the Prince of Wales he was always in bother for daring to have you an opinion on things going on in Westminster, he was told to butt out often. :nooo:
This guy was going on loudly about the plans to remove the illegals and I was waiting for the backlash Charles would have got if he had said half of what this guy did.
IF, Charles has to keep out and concentrate only on Royal matters then this guy should be told to keep his nose out and his mouth away from the media, concentrate on religion only. In other words mind his own blasted business. :angry:
I know loads of twits.. Lineker is up there..

A TWIT down here is someone who does or says something bloody stupid..
You could call them a Prat.. but the posh word is Twit.

An excellent idea for an ongoing thread, and an excellent choice for the initial subject.
Personally, I'd have used the phrase 'wally of the week', particularly for this wally. That word suggests even more of an incompetent and wishy-washy person.
Plonker of the week would be Welby, rsoul of the week would be Piers and Jeremy Hunt of the week would be the Donald.
Twit does not do them justice.
Agree, Welby a first class idiot and plutonium grade nutter.
Hold on. I know a bloke who can check that....

I think that this picture says it all, especially as the unusually large mitre looks as if he's attempting to outdo Charlie-boy's crown.
I remember seeing many bishops' mitres which were half the size of that monstrosity. Simple one-upmanship by the supposed head of the CofE, before it collapses due to the numbers leaving the club which, incidentally, are no doubt encouraged by his politically 'inclusive' behaviour.

Threads go off topic all the time here. There is no moderator upsetting people all the time by moaning at them for going off topic. Sometimes they do get pulled back onto the original subject but others they carry on in some new way and still others they just peter out.

Come on now, his ethnic countrymen back in his ethnic homeland probably still take livestock onto the train with them, so a ladder shouldn't be too difficult. :grin:
Perhaps that's the way forward? Dump the ladders and use giraffes instead.

YES.. It is Tracey at the Co-op.

She had to CLIMB up to retrieve one.. Leaving the last two cartons at the back of the top shelf in the chiller cabinet. Wally..

But in 2024 we could have him wielding the power by propping up a minority Labour Government.
Or the SNP...
I really worry about the next election - the Conservatives have proved themselves useless, and the alternatives are even worse!
No other government has had a Covid pandemic to cope with. Not sure any would have got it all right. The increased cost of living has been made much worse by global fuel costs. And coming out of Brexit stopped free movement from Europe has reduced immigration, but only via that route.
My OH is keen to see Reform do well in the next general election. We'll both probably vote for them, but I'd put money on our current Labour MP getting elected again. The last boundary change that affected our constituency was a gift for Labour.
other than the war, the problems facing this government have been just about unparalleled, but that won't save them. Too many thinks are going wrong, and the thought of what the alternative might be is unlikely to weigh very heavily with many voters
The evidence of how poorly the Conservatives have performed on every front leads me to believe that Labour will have to work hard to outpace them in the uselessness stakes. At least they have the civil service and unions on their side.
Fresh on from putting Northern Ireland effectively in the single market Sunak is apparently now in the process of signing us up to participate in the EU Army project. We no longer have a government even paying lip service to Brexit as will be clear from the new immigration figures being announced today.

Their biggest problems were their choice of leadership.. They couldn't even get their own act together.. Let alone govern a country.. Bloody shambles..

I agree. That is the root problem, but also that their party has been infiltrated by under-cover Liberals, who will push their own agendas. The Conservatives are no longer Conservatives.

I'm afraid it will take several weeks, as these things inevitably do, but I hope that at the end of it Harold will have egg on his face and, even better, having to pay the costs of the trial.

I disagree. He gets exactly what he deserves. He had done all he can to cause trouble for his own family and, in so doing, has turned the majority of people in this country against him.
The press do what they have always done and, were it not for Harold's stupidity, they wouldn't have any ammunition to use against him.
It takes two to argue and fall out not just one. His brother is just as capable of being a nasty scunner as Harry is. That scowl often on his face tells me everything I need to to know about Mr not so squeaky clean. :sad:

Yes I know and your quite correct, but I personally feel the media go much to far these days. They won't leave you alone, take photos they have no right to take, hack into emails texts voice mails ect. Print lies and destroy lives. IMO it needs to stop.
Getting celebs voicemails has been stopped I think. It wasn't really hacking it was stupidity on the part of the celebs. They just left voicemail passwords as provider defaults. Anybody with their phone number could just collect voice mails.
I doubt that journalists are smart enought to do any proper hacking and imagine most of the stories come from the celebs "friends". If they didn't get their pics in the paper they would likely cry. I doubt many of the "wardrobe malfunctions" are accidental either.
Those that want fame on only their own terms will be disappointed. It's the public to blame too. If they didn't show huge interest in all the crap it wouldn't get published.
