acaie Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 Following on the Nicola Sturgeon thread. With Angela Merkel standing down as German chancellor next year, would it be a good idea to sack Dominic Cummings and ask her to take on the job of telling Boris Johnson how to run the country?

Alan Am I right in thinking he is now available having been sacked by LBC? Or maybe he should replace DC, who after all has become a bit of a liability. Probably on an interim basis until Angela becomes available. Edited June 14, 2020 by acaie Link to post Share on other sites
peejay4A Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 I don't think Farage was sacked, his contract wasn't renewed. Despicable man. Link to post Share on other sites

PodOne Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Love or hate Farage he talks some sense at times enough to have the rest of the jokers worried they might be out of a job. Shame he walked away after Brexit as things may well be different now. Andy Link to post Share on other sites

When I see zeros and minuses, I give them likes — just seems so unfriendly, I feel compelled to. Must say, humour's one thing I've always admired in Brits, whereas, a lack of it seems as foreign as I am (Italian passport).

Don't take it to heart David, they (was it male or female ? we can't tell on this forum) probably just meant it as a joke same as the posts you were applauding, life eh ?

I guess feelings run high with these kinds of topics. Brexit, Remainers and Leavers, Colonialism and so on and so forth. But there is such a thing as British humour, quite unique —something to be proud of — and civilized. Link to post Share on other sites
