Bandage, did you ever employ similar tactics when you were coming to the mainland for business meetings, playing up the mick the muldoon routine and the tans lapping it up?

I remember being given a laminated card, like you’d see a talk show host hold, with little bullet points, facts / figures, and suggested responses to expected questions about the bailout before going to a meeting on the mainland around 10 years ago. I was absolutely mortified - the Bank of Mick had only gone and bankrupted themselves and I had to face my English counterparts.

100% populism, no fucks given about the country at all, just fucking win the next election no matter what, probably not a conservative amongst them.
These cunts will end up calling in the IMF. Major spending increases on the cusp of a major global recession, which will probably affect them worse than any other country.
Election time.
And even with an election coming what’s the point in announcing this now when no one’s going to listen to it because your government is collapsing? It’s like announcing your engagement at a funeral.
Announce good news on quiet news days and bury bad news on bad news days, it’s the most basic rule.

Said it before. You have yokels here “Well, in the UK, this is how they do it…” (so it must be right). Time we started looking at how our European neighbours and friends do things, and fuck off with the boot licking that goes on for the UK.

Any comments from the DUP?
Just like the EPL fanboys.
Boris is in trouble now.
“NO!!!” ?

Proper brit nomenclature would be ‘stage Irishman’.
This is what the average English person thinks when they hear the word Irishman
I’m told Boris is now explaining his alternative Irish backstop idea to the 1922, an all-Ireland agrifood zone, by quoting Ian Paisley Snr: "Our people may be British but our cows are Irish”.
Kinnock JNR tabled an amendment to bring back May’s deal. It has passed because the tellers forgot to count the “no” votes! (By accident or design). This means May’s deal has to be brought back! So now the rebels have to kill their own bill and start again. Situation very fluid.
Only a complete moron wouldn’t be watching what the Brits are at with bated breath, there hasn’t been anything in recent times that could deliberately affect us so badly.
