Tory Party Conference Fiasco

[needawin]

Brian Rix would have been delighted with the Tory Farce.
Forget all about the bluster and false promises of backing the PM.
A strong person because she made it through a speech with a cough!
This is the party in charge of the security of the U.K. but a member of the audience is able to get out of a seat, walk to the PM's podium and casually hand her a sheet of paper, then go to Boris Johnson and make a comment.
Unbelievable. Whoever was in charge of security should be getting a P45 today.
I accept that he did not have a weapon but could have inflicted severe damage he was so close. We all know today about the "one punch" kill!

AOG
// was what made this country to be called "Great Britain". //

Oh dear, a classic demonstration of your ignorance.

'Great Britain' is a geographical term and has nothing to do with our country or our self perceived brilliance.
It just means the bigger island of the British Isles.
Our country is the UK which includes N.Ireland which is not/never has been, part of Great Britain.
Great Britain has nothing to do with or history or past empire, it is a term cartographers used.

Good job you don't have to fill in a Britishness exam AOG, because you would be bottom of the class.

Doubt you would pass either Gromit if they got wind of some of your comments on here.

Gromit; There was nothing dreamlike about 1951, food and clothing were still rationed or scarce, we had the rather farcical Festival of Britain as the bright spot and Guy Mitchell singing, "She wears red feathers and a hula-hula skirt" otherwise everything was rather grey.

My Mum and Dad first met, while dancing on the South Bank during the Festival of Britain.

They also thought about making me, although they waited another few months before taking the plunge.

They always said the FOB was marvelous.

[jno]

it was Huly-Huly Skirt and it came out in 1952 (in the charts in 1953, in fact)

[mikey4444]

Rather jolly, I thought !

[Khandro]

jno; You are absolutely correct. The Guy Mitchell song I was thinking of, and which we sang at the FOB was "my Truly, Truly Fair", other hits of the year are here;

I noted earlier that 'Dream' was uttered 34 times by May during her speech.
I wondered how many times the most important issue facing the country now, the most important since World War II, the negotiation that will affect us for decades - how many times did May mention BREXIT ?
The answer, twice.

// And our first and most important duty is to get Brexit right. //

and

// I know that some young people worry that Brexit means we’re turning our back on the world. //

And that was it.

Theresa May said to Boris, let's tell the public we are here to help the working man, Boris replied err, what's a working man ?.

[hereIam]

Yes, security was appalling !

Has Boris Johnson Wrecked the Tory Party ?.
