I mean, he has all the resources of Whitehall to assist him and yet he still has a 'strike rate ' that is directly comparable to Wily Coyote's with his reliance on the technical marvels produced by " Acme Industries ( TM ).<br /><br />Maybe I'm being too abstract... .Maxwell Turnbullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482200039873406652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-14898013633226820142016-01-18T20:01:52.447+00:002016-01-18T20:01:52.447+00:00I've met more immigrants than that bellend eve...I've met more immigrants than that bellend ever has or will, and most are desperate to learn English. Another failure to think things through properly from the man who "helped" turn Libya into a failed state, who in 2013 tried to do the exact opposite of what he's trying to do now (I think so, it's nigh-on impossible too see what he's trying to do, so incoherent is it) and now this.<br /><br />I think some Muslim males do have attitudes that we'd consider unacceptable, and empowering women by helping them do what the vast majority desperately want to do is a good idea.

All of them nothing but a gang of card carrying neocons.<br /><br />Nothing new there, then. Only the targets change. And they'll keep stealing more and more until such time as people organise and say, "Enough is enough."<br /><br />When we reach the point where the country is governed by a reactionary gang of spivs that only got the votes of 24% of the eligible electorate - then democracy in Britain is little more than a public relations comic notion.<br /><br />Might as well get yourself ready because there's much, much worse on the horizon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-32534532463026061712016-01-18T13:56:30.879+00:002016-01-18T13:56:30.879+00:00You're quoting from a private twitter account ...You're quoting from a private twitter account (@helzbels) - I hope that's with permission, because most of us can't see her tweets.Richard Gadsdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10545595590359552775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-64215220661073508282016-01-18T13:00:42.788+00:002016-01-18T13:00:42.788+00:00And what will the test be like?

That was all dropped though because the tabloids were convinced it was all about encouraging people to sign on or lust after our women or something, so the test was revised to be Dunkirk, Downton, Good Queen Bess and Churchill. <br /><br />Joking aside, this stands the risk of being as cripplingly loaded as the literacy and numeracy tests used in the deep south to establish (read: deny) voting rights.
