and not even the remoaners have commented
over the long long meetings over Covid reflation at strasbourg - one day turning into four .....

thank god we are no longer part of this charade ....

[ichkeria]

Didn’t Johnson once compare himself to Botham?
Along the lines of it was time for Botham to come in to bat after Theresa “Boycott” May?
Would Lord Beefheart be Lord Beefheart without the Brexit thing?
Would Bercow still be Bercow if he’d backed the other side? (There was no impartial)
Almost certainly not.
But it’s pretty much always been like that.

Ich 12.18 Always thought Johnson compared himself with Churchill, similar to a very regular a/b poster.

Hurrah for Lord Beefy Brexit Botham.

Now who's for a jolly game of French cricket? Or wiff waff!

[Peter Pedant]

is it the wrong signal to make Botham a LOrd

well - you can hardly make him a Lady

( thx to mad harry and the muppet wackamole sketch
( well you can hardly do weez deeeeeeaaaad muppets!)

[Ellipsis]

Of course, Botham is a great fan of the Commonwealth countries, in particular the West Indies and Australia, which is one reason he supported Brexit (as Britain joining the EU messed things up for them). Perhaps he can use his new powers to allow more of those fine people into our country. Or at least legalise weed.

[Cloverjo]

Cronyism.
Ridiculous to make him a lord.

[gulliver1]

P/P, 11.46, just watched Wackamole sketch on You tube LOL, Can just imagine Boris in the sketch.
