GMP said there was "no evidence to suggest any intent to influence or refrain a person from voting as stated in the Ballot Secrecy Act 2023" but Farage called it an "establishment whitewash"."

No Liz Truss, no Boris Johnson, no Robert Jenrick.

Alan Dershowitz, the lawyer who defended Trump in his first impeachment trial and was a defence attorney for Jeffrey Epstein, has claimed that if Trump was President in 1936 he would have attacked Germany, "taken out" Hitler, and stopped the Holocaust. He added that the conflict with "Nazi Iran" is the most important for the World since WW2 started in 1939, ( which of course the US turned up late for ). How do apparently intelligent people come up with such fantastical nonsense ?

Yes, which was exactly the point I was making. You made a generalised statement and seemed completely oblivious to the effect of nuance and context.

Trump says that the UK's military aircraft are "toys compared to ours". Presumably therefore the F35s operated by the US forces are also "toys". As an ally this chump leaves a lot to be desired.

So I CAN laugh at a joke using the "N" word. Thanks for thst. I assume laughing AT white people using that word in a racist manner, such as in Blazing Saddles, is still allowed to be considered amusing.

Is the first joke on the Crap Jokes thread funny or offensive ? If the 'N' word is now off limits an I allowed to watch Richard Prior ?

Surely the most important aspect of a joke is that it is funny, not that it does not cause offence. If things have gone so far then surely characatures must also comply ; no more Manuel on Fawlty Towers, no more Four Yorkshiremen from Monty Python, no more Father Ted, etc

Watch out for the ICE agents deployed to replace the TSA staff staying off work due to not being paid.

Particularly as the ambulances, whilst operated by a Jewish charity, are available to the entire local community, regardless of ethnicity or religion.

And guess how Donnie voted....... By mail-in ballot.

No skid lid, so not me. Also, I'm not aware of experiencing Spanish subtitles.

The Florida House district that includes Trump's Mar-A-Lago resort has been 'flipped' by the Democrats in a special election, despite Trump's endorsement of the Republican candidate.

"You have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon."

From reporting on a current White House press call..... "Asked again how hopeful he is that a peace deal with Iran will work, Trump responds: "This war has been won"." There you go, it's all over.

DJT speaking to a reporter about the war. "We have discussed many points". "How many ?" asked the reporter. "Many points, fifteen points". "What points were discussed ?" "Well, they won't have a nuclear weapon. That's numbers 1, 2, and 3".

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn43ve4pyjeo "BBC show The Repair Shop scrapped a segment that was set to feature a joke book belonging to late comedian Bob Monkhouse after the contents were deemed inappropriate. According to the Sun, the book was taken to the workshop in the programme's barn by Monkhouse's daughter and his comedy writing partner. Joanna Ball, managing director of Ricochet, which produces the show, said: "We planned to fix the joke book, but when we got it to the barn and saw it in its entirety, we realised it contained many jokes that were not appropriate for a programme. "We explained this to the family and returned the book to them. We did not complete filming of the item, so it was never included in the programme."" Were they intending to read all the jokes out on the program ?
