United Kingdom VII: Taking Pride in Your Success

[charlesr]

At the ages most people develop lung cancer from smoking, that wouldn't remotely stop population growth, Charles. Not sure how serious you are or whether you've thought that through. It merely results in a more sickly and needy population, draining more resources.

Yeah, I should have put a
Smoking is total nonsense.

Just pictured Charles like this:

I don't think it is quite cut and dried, the smokers will die earlier but if they didn't smoke they would live longer but still put strain on the system.

Best solution - Under 25yr olds are free to start smoking but once they do they're not allowed to stop. They can go about their lives freely smoking as they please but from the first cigarette onward they're bound by Logan's Run law

Plus they have to buy their cigs in the UK so paying the correct duty/tax.

BoJo has been cleared of breaking the ministerial code.

Not sure if he was the judge and jury. Don't care. He's a ****.

Yes he is the person who has final say on whether he broke code. Utter bull****

[Hirst]

If Johnson hasn't broken the code, the code is completely worthless.

Necer let it be said that the British public ever fails to rise to the occasion - Daily Covid cases nudge just shy of 4,200. A spectacular progression since Monday.

I'm seeing lots of upward arrows. This is good right?

[Neon Ignition]

The Tories think so, probably why they let it happen so many times

Also, pretty much pointless this one, companies will just wait six months after return and then drop them. Seen it loads of times, it's so common especially during recent times. Whilst some instances will be bad and suggest protection is needed, other times the business situation has changed or the worker was utter ***** before going off or their aims on return are unworkable for the business etc. Practically speaking businesses would work around this one fast.

Boris has reportedly wed Carrie Symonds

[QualityChimp]

Massive congratulations to Boris and Carrie.

It really is a classic love story and I'm sure their relationship will last the ages.

[Neon Ignition]

Given how much it's speculated that she gets involved in PM duties and the role despite being unelected to do so and makes so many of Boris's decisions for him it's apt that her name is potentially now Carrie Johnson

[Cassius_Smoke]

The BBC spent about 15 minutes on this story so it's worked pretty well as a distraction technique. Bravo Johnson, kept the wedding in the bag to pull out when **** hits the fan.
