    I'll bet we don't see him down the dole office though.

    Happy to be a woke* feminist SJ(K)W snowflake in a godless universe, no matter what some experts think. And Braun was a twat who's not missed. At all.

    * Had to add woke; couldn't resist.

        Two quotes from a sky news link online:-

        "Boris is preparing to lay down the lives of his staff to save his own. It will be the Night of the Long Scapegoats."

        One minister said: "He is in total survival mode. He is so worried that he has started to read his Government papers."

        I wonder how many people the second one flys over their heads.

          Some people can see no wrong in him. I think some also want him gone, but can't face the choice of 'who next'.

              The NRA has a slogan. Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.

              Should the same principle be used for dogs?

                I take it you mean the US NRA (created several years after the UK NRA)?

                  Yes. You learn something every day. Just had a good read about the UK version.

                    It is one of the useful facts to wind up Americans that think that all guns in the UK are illegal, that along with the ease of access to silencers/moderators in UK compared with the US is a good one.

                      Used to get a smile from the US guys when I asked “what sort of arms a well regulated militia would need”

                        Too many would probably reply tactical nuclear weapons.

                          Their totally-disorganised militia didn't do too well last January.

                              A sad state of affairs but nothing that new. I quit NHS because as a lone female working in isolation (x-ray departments were usually remote from A&E) out of hours having to deal with drunks I got fed up with people taking a swing at me or threatening to. In those days it was sadly part of the job and there were no security guards if you were lucky a porter would hang around.
