Tories are currently equal opportunity morons at that level of the of the party...every moron gets an opportunity.
In this case I really don't think it matters if the chocolate was white, milk or dark...it would have been bitter with a nasty aftertaste.

David Cameron was the last vaguely sensible leader of the Tories...sadly he had the spine of a crustacean and the Tory membership was reduced to fringe lunatics / pub bores.
Obviously, austerity run by him was awful...but then what's new about Tories.

Reform UK donors are now footing the bill for his security, understood to be more than Β£lm per year. All of Mr Farage's security is now privately funded, because his team decided that having two different providers, one private and one public, would be unworkable.
In trying to elicit sympathy, The Teleform may have landed Farage in trouble instead. I don't see this declared as a donation anywhere in his register of interests...

UK democracy needs a credible "government in waiting" opposition to keep the actual governing party in check. This failed to happen after 2nd term of Tony Blair and David Cameron's first term...both led to long term issues that we all suffer from today (will continue to do so).

In fact, every player should be tracked be on video at all times while on the field for mandatory retrospective analysis after each game. Skip the fines, just hand out match band that increase exponentially. One yellow card = 2 match bans, one red card = 10 match bans.

Lol, won't happen...limited liability means that that company will simply be wound up with nothing to pay. Govt needs to take any directors of the company to court to show that they behaved negligently /criminally under Companies Act and related law.

I had wondered what it was that had kept the Financial Times comparatively safe in this era of oligarchs controlling the media. It turns out the answer is "Japanese Media Ownership Laws".
Nikkei owns the FT and that is an employee-owned business because it is not allowed to be publicly traded.

I'm pretty sure cannoli is continuous in the English language. Like the use of water or data. There's really no telling where one starts and ends.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.
