Fat - wives you can't stand? Did you forget about Henry VII?

I suppose things are a bit different these days

Not a decent beheading in years

Warm beer at a garden party, I was at one once with the queens mother and she suffered a warm pint of mild, whist reading the racing post

"Did you forget about Henry VII?" [Florida Sailor]

Henry the Seventh was quite thin, as you can see from the following link:

Perhaps his son, Henry the Eighth, started out equally thin....

My liege Christian IV was not exactly a sylph either:

"It's good ta be da king!"

"Let me have men about me that are fat,
Sleek-headed men and such as sleep a-nights.
Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look.
He thinks too much. Such men are dangerous."
[Julius Caesar]

what's good about education ? all the years at school etc learning to read and write and all the politicians want you to do is put a bloody X

They also expect you to fill out tax forms and sign checks when you renew your various licenses. In some areas, you need computer literacy if you have a business, as many of the payments you must make to the government must be online.

Online literacy is becoming its own juggernaut. In my state, the leaders of high tech firms are lobbying the government to require high school students to take courses in computer coding.

literacy is good for one thingus commoners can now see through the lies and promises politicians make, to feather they're back pockets

And yet they vote them back into office regardless.

some humans don't realise they are sheepand have no backbone

a saying in my town - you could put a monkey to stand for labour and the con's STILL wouldn't get in

Guy Fawkes had the best idea they caught him

We need a another system this ones broken

"We need a another system this ones broken" [Bobstafford]

I know why it's broken: people are in charge of it. People are bad news.

what we need is someone to say NO to europe, we want nurses,homes,doctors, decent roads etc etc = £50million a day to spend here

What we want is more money - now!

Think I'll start the More Money - Now! Party

If we did not elect such feeble leaders we could sternghten our position in the EU and pay much less for our membership.

Weak leadership and trying to be popular is costing us millions its not necessarily the fault ofvthr EU. So called regional independance is a huge mistake what good can a local regional assembly be in national politics. The more voices that have to be to be listened to the less that will be decided and the more it will cost.
