Thread Name: Show of Hands - Roots - what a track!
Subject: RE: Show of Hands - Roots - what a track!
I was referring to a few members of our government - all right, I'll name them: Blair and Prescott - who I'd be happy to see the back of. But it's not *because* they happen to be (respectively) Scottish and Welsh, but because I think they've overstayed their welcome. It was a light-hearted remark in passing, indicated by the smiley. Just thought I'd make that clear!

Sorry scrump - Prescott's Welsh? Which part of Wales is Hull in, exactly?

Probably a momentary lapse, but get your own country's geography right and don't try to blame that tosser on the Welsh please.

And don't forget that in the 80s the absence of parliamentary representation for the Tories in Scotland and Wales meant that we had to put up with carpetbaggers from English seats supposedly representing us in cabinet. And the poll tax which the Scots voted against hit them first. Bloody hell, you English have short memories. We've had to put up with the absentee crap for centuries.

Lights blue touchpaper and retires..........
