Six, could be seven, but that's another irrelevancy it appears. Tory 'family values' have indeed morphed into something strange.
Current Affairs Don't mention the War !

His new partner lives not far from us (I mean it's bizarre enough that Boris is in Peckham tbh), so the hullaballoo that's in the news this morning is quite the talk of the town.

Kinell, hope he wasn't in the British army.

He was a Colonel, served in Northern Ireland and Bosnia, and was well regarded for his military service......

Then he's chatting wham to appeal to his voter base.

A 'War Cabinet' furnished with hard-brexit sycophants? Can see this going well for half of our citizens...On the crack.

I can see the EU at least taking note......
banknotes, anyway
Why would an organisation that was established in part to prevent war on the continent take note of a British prime minister using such language against them in any kind of positive way? They would quite rightly view such actions incredibly poorly and hold Britain in even lower esteem than they do as a result of the last few years of Tory rule. Of course, you could then use that as an example of how the nasty bullies don't let us get our way, which fits this frankly bizarre bipolar mindset of being tub-thumping Captain Mainwarings and snivelling victims depending on how the mood takes.
I do think Captain Mainwaring's (fictional) patriotism was wholly justified. The EU project - a Europe where fascist oppression was simply unthinkable - is essentially what he (and Churchill in the real world) was fighting for.
At least Fawlty had a bang on the head. The stance of Farage and his acolytes is inexcusable, and incomprehensible to me.
