I would leave as long as you still can
@LadyMont @Wyliesau @Flick is ‘takes the biscuit’ something I can use as a yank or do I need to go away to boarding school first?
From a mutt of a human with a few drops of English blood in his body Im genuinely hoping that you will find your way to greatness once again. This slapping a muzzle on someone hauling them off like a mad dog because they alerted you to a problem is not going to solve anything at all. You deserve better, much better.
@scottdhansen @LadyMont @Wyliesau You’re allowed to use it, but you must first accept that it means cookie, not scone.
@scottdhansen @LadyMont @Wyliesau @Flick definitely use it, and I'm going to try to add it to my repertoire! So many great UK sayings/sledges we need to keep and share. Muppet is one of my favourites... Not hut the word but the delivery of almost bored, derision

On April 8, 2011, Keir Starmer joined some of Britain's top legal eagles at a monthly meeting of the Sentencing Council, the ultra-powerful quango that tells judges and magistrates how convicted criminals ought to be punished.
It was all in a day's work for our then-Director of Public Prosecutions, who was joined by 12 fellow members of the committee, plus no fewer than 15 officials and observers, around what must have been one of Britain's longest conference tables.
Issues they discussed ranged from the 'media coverage' of a recent consultation on drugs sentencing, which had seen members attacked for their alleged liberal bias, to proper tariffs for burglary, assault and anti-social behaviour.
But it was the seventh item on the agenda that – for Starmer, at least – would eventually prove the most controversial.
Minutes of the gathering, which was chaired by Sir Brian Leveson (of Press inquiry fame), show that Sir Keir and his fellow members were presented with 'initial findings' of a review into 'current sentencing practice for sexual offences'.
@HebrideanHecate @Wyliesau Wtaf?
Eventually, the Council decided that 20 of these crimes could, in certain circumstances, be punished via community orders rather than prison sentences.
That number include a total of eight offences where the principal victim is a child. They range from 'sexual assault of a child under 13' to 'possession of an indecent photograph of a child' to 'paying for the sexual services of a child' and 'arranging or facilitating the sexual exploitation of a child'.
@Flick @Wyliesau @HebrideanHecate
They did something similar in California in America. They made pedophilia a misdemeanor in the state. So you know where all the pedophiles are going to go to commit their crime.
@Wyliesau man, that's a nation who's national dish is a deep fried cod and chopped up potatoes with vinegar. Traditionally wrapped in a yesterday's newspaper. And that's really the best they can come up with as far as food goes. What do you expect?
Not much tbh. but now it gets dramatically worse by the day.
Starmer should be publicly executed with a good old chopping axe
WEF, UN, UNHCR, NATO, IMF, EU, RED CROSS….. all have to go, their days are numbered
Because it’s in Britain
Since October 1781 not anymore
Nah not surprised just shocked
