Well it wasn’t Michael Heseltine who lost you Windsor.
Laurence Fox’s Tinfoil Hat Party could have two dozen MPs by June.

Death to the counter revolutionary saboteurs

40+ years of despising 'conservatives' like Widdicombe yet here I am, still shocked by how utterly despicable they are.

[Yug]

She might not be in that Party now, but that is big C conservatism in a nutshell. If you can't afford food, don't have any.

[Bones McCoy]

And indeed Big C Conservative equality.

Both rich man and poor man will be subject to the law that prevents them stealing a loaf to feed their family.

[The Weeping Angel]

[Yug]

The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.

[Andy McDandy]

It's absolutely the case that there's one law for the rich and one for the poor. For example, there's the law against insider trading, and the law on vagrancy.

Deluded columnist is blind to the scale of his complicity in the disaster to come - he is heading for a catastrophic wipe-out of his credibility and has only himself to blame for his litany of failed predictions.

Only last month

[Rosvanian]

I don't think he's blind to his complicity. I just think he takes his readership for complete mugs. The fact that he continues to be editor of the Tory house journal suggests he's on to a winner with that approach. To anyone else, he's simply a lying, selfish cunt.

[Yug]

To anyone else, he's simply a lying, selfish cunt.

Or a Conservative, as they like to be known.

If May did push for a Norwegian compromise the country would still be taking a (smaller) hit but the headbangers would be on the front foot. ‘It’s not real Brexit, give us proper Brexit and all the problems will be solved.’

I do wonder how her (and Rees Mogg's) politics and religion are squared with the fact that Christianity has been feeding the poor since the first church was built?

[Andy McDandy]

To quote Genesis (the band) or Ghost (the band); 'Jesus he knows me, and he knows I'm right".

[Youngian]

Charmless man Arron Banks has a beef with Damon Albarn. Obviously Albarn isn’t talking about Blur who can afford to get all the Brexit bullshit done for them. Showing empathy with struggling contemporaries without a pot to piss in is beyond Bank’s consciousness.

[kreuzberger]

Händel / Handel had his freedom of movement, too.

Something deep in my flawed memory reminds me that he needed to rattle out some tunes for George 1 in payment for what was essentially his visa. But, we'll gloss over that.

[davidjay]

Being able to spell 'Beatles' would help.

[Youngian]

Being able to spell 'Beatles' would help.

Of course that was picked up on but probably deliberate to needle the cool kids from school that liked music and other joyous things.

[Oboogie]

If Aaron Banks had bothered to read a book or even Google "The Beatles, Hamburg", he'd have found out that they initially lied and declared they were students and their instruments were just for personal entertainment. They were later caught and deported for working without visas.
With difficulty they did get visas for subsequent visits, but they were a house band, playing in one club, in one city, in one country. Also they took very little equipment with them - one guitar and an amp each and a drum kit - so relatively simple to sort out. Very different to a modern touring band with a van full of instruments, PA, lighting rigs, backline, frontline etc etc needing separate visas for each country visited.
