UK about to become Banana Republic?

Post by rainbow » Wed Aug 28, 2019 11:31 am

The Speaker, John Bercow, has issued an extraordinary statement. “I have had no contact from the government, but if the reports that it is seeking to prorogue parliament are confirmed, this move represents a constitutional outrage,” he says.

If those fat-cat Eurocrats quaffing Chablis and necking caviar in Brussels hadn't taken it upon themselves to straighten our British bananas then none of this would have happened.

"About to"?
100% verifiable facts or your money back. Anti-fascist. Enemy of woo - theistic or otherwise. Cloth is not an antiviral. Imagination and fantasy is no substitute for tangible reality. Wishing doesn't make it real.

We've got a bumper crop of nanas. Those little sweet ones.

Can you make banana jam?

ETA Google is your friend. Yes, you can make banana jam. First you give it a little weed, hand it a guitar, and put on some Stevie Ray for inspiration.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Bananas are slowly being wiped out by an unstoppable fugus. Weed killers won't stop it. Guns won't stop it. We may need to use nuclear weapons.

Technically a "rustle", but still. I did get a deal, didn't I?
