Hull have to go!

;)))

Yes, with old Darren in charge of the arts, orchestras will truly be Fullmoronic!

Has anybody who has ever done anything useful been called Darren?

The only Darren I recognised in that whole woeful list of nonentities is Darren "Whackhead" Simpson, and his moniker gives away his usefulness to the universe!

Do any here in O-N think the ceremony would be improved by the exclusion of current and former Prime Ministers, US ex-presidents and any other civilian and politician from our governing assemblies who are the ones who sign off on sending the young out to die on their behalf?
I can see merit in allowing the current PM and the Leader of the Opposition to attend. They are the two people most likely to be signing off on future wars, and it may give them a chance to reflect on the cost of doing so.

The UK, along with Canada, the USA, and probably most of the rest of the west, is desperately short of recruits willing to be sent to war by any of the current crop of idiots in the government. And those already in are leaving much faster also.
Perhaps, like the Monarch, they should only be allowed to attend if their children are serving or have served, and somewhere up at the sharp end, not polishing a General's boots?

A pretty damning indictment of the UK and World illustrious leaders from 2 weeks ago, not to be broadcast on any MSM and possibly it’s survival time on YT will be limited when THEY wake up;

Meanwhile, on a more serious note, (or was that from another thread?) here is evidence that here in the UK we are already being slain en masse by an excess of CO2, diesel engine fumes, cattle and vegans farting and a surplus of hot air blown from the south east originating in Egypt and generated from a new seaside resort known as COP27, a strange name for a scuba diving base;

https://dailysceptic.org/2022/11/16/ukh ... te-change/

Personally I think the excess deaths are due to the stress of not having had a firm disciplinarian leader in the UK for some considerable time, with many folks suffering 'long Johnson' or 'long/short Truss', which are deeply debilitating conditions for which there is no known cure, not even a hastily developed and rolled out Vak Scene.

What is to become of us all with this new threat to the devolved/dissolved regions of the UK? It is apparent that we must lockdown, shut up, mask up, sanitise, anti-social distance from each other and pray the pointy heads in white coats can brew up a life-saving formula before more casualties occur.

Is this Jenny Harries a real person 'cos I initially thought I was reading a TV guide spiel on a new BBC satirical series?! :YMPARTY:

....and in addition we have the MSM sensationalising things. This time it's an alleged shortage of hen's eggs generating another bout of panic buying. At least I've got a year's supply of bog rolls up in the loft. ;)))

Sadly, looking at the huge culling of poultry round me, a shortage is most likely, I'm afraid.

Good news on the bog rolls, though, but can you not crap downstairs.................... =))

Not UK, but I now have two neighbours keeping hens, up from one.
This year, also added were bees, ducks, miniature sheep, and goats.
Right, I'm off to blanche and freeze my carrot and parsnip crop for this year.

Looks like the UK egg shortage IS real, according to this morning's DT

Sometimes it is useful to be allergic to hen's eggs.

I'm allergic to tomatoes too!

So why a shortage of eggs also in Spain? Why a shortage of delivery drivers in Spain?

Bureaucracy, command and control continue to proliferate despite us being promised many times that there'd be a "bonfire of the quangos";

https://dailysceptic.org/2022/11/17/why ... architect/

Some of this stuff is just commonsense for building designers, and not before time, but I sense more empire building happening here?

I would never have been such a crap pilot if I had been able to pass a diversity, inclusion and equality course, so that's the reason for my handicap(s) in the aviation world.

And of course if I'd passed the Environmental, Social & Governance tests then I'd never have got airborne in the first place due to the E-damage I was doing to the planet.

So not only is everyone else relieved I've hung up the headset but I am probably the most relieved of all to be away from the wonderful world of work and restrictions and more petty rules and being supervised by folks who don't know their anus from their tibia!

Perhaps current ground/air aviation professionals here might venture an opinion on how the BS is affecting them and others in their jobs? ~X(

In case anyone in the UK stayed awake for the announcement earlier from Jeremy *unt on how they're going to screw us, here is a proforma letter for your MP if you know who they are and you can be bothered to bother them;

“Dear <mp>,

I haven’t stopped laughing since Jeremy Hunt announced his budget earlier today. Raising taxes on British taxpayers and raising the retirement age for ageing grannies so that fighting-age Albanian illegal immigrants can live in the lap of luxury in five-star hotels is pure genius. The Tories will be out of government for two generations and indeed, may hopefully never recover. I am delighted that the Tory party will soon be consigned to the dustbin of history and its demise cannot come a moment too soon.

*You will be pleased to know that no NHS diversity managers were harmed in the making of this budget*.

Yours etc…”

Unless of course we think it may be a bit harsh (but fair)?
