Yes. Literally that from what I can gather - doing his shopping like any other person.

I'm no fan or supporter obviously , but it does beg the question whether anyone else in the SNP is humble enough to do the same.

:lol:
Come on, m4rk, you know that your post was a tap-in for me just to use that pic :mrgreen:

In that case any chance you could have posted one that didn't need a magnifying glass to see.

Is that a Mini Milk she's sucking on? If so it's no surprise she's up and down on it like Mary Milliington.

Look at that bit of red on the right hand side. That's Norwich South. :)

Incidentally, as per voted Green in the locals and they won my ward. Emailed something to a bloke at the council and cc'd the three Green councillors in. All replied the very next morning. Top work.



Last time I was in Norwich, not long ago actually and in company with a BBC journalist as a matter of fact, he was quite shocked to hear otherwise very calm people including an old lady getting irate and calling for Brexit blocking MP s to be strung up .
I can only assume that you must have been very persuasive in the mean time.

Really? Looks fine to me. Am always conscious of not posting f-off pics that are too large or will slow down the page...

Oh dear. It seems that there is an element of the Socialist movement that doesn't subscribe to democracy unless it suits them. :roll:

It wasn't just the Corbynistas which were were crushed. The self-deluding Remain Alliance, which thought it could bully the British people into reversing the referendum result, was routed.

It was a good day for democracy. It was a good day for commonsense. It was a good day.

Antifa are Marxists not Socialists, it's a bit like thinking that all Conservatives are goose-stepping facists.

They are so fucking inept it's embarrassing. Not sure what everyone's level of education is here, but if you've ever had the misfortune to 'study' politics at ANY level, the first day in the first class, you are taught this: The Left ALWAYS fragments. The Left always implode. It's why the Tories are successful; despite their differences they know to stick together. The Left are unable to do this for whatever reason. I mean, it's politics 101.

I think that after what those who voted/wanted to remain in the EU have been up to since the referendum, we are entitled to a little wallow for a couple of days.

Still refusing to take the blame.

Do you lump everything right-wing into the Facism pigeon-hole as well?

It's a year ago this week that May pulled the first vote on her deal. Had enough Labour MP's (many of whom are not out of a job) had the courage to vote for it, the Tory party would have crumbled.
