Huge cavalcades of cars and cops on bikes stopping traffic for one MP. Usually 4 cars and 3 bikes. They make so much fucking noise and draw so much attention to themselves, it's ridiculous.
The Queen has one car behind hers, one bike in front and one behind. Today she is in a beautiful big Rolls Royce.

That my predecessor is still unable to create a pdf file. She prints a letter and then scans it back in before emailing it.

Look at your alternative, we'll regain our s**t quicker than SA.
At least they have a parliament I have actually voted in two elections and a referendum in the short time that I have been a citizen. As Trump would say: "unpresidented".

I'm actually slightly proud of how many people, yourself and saffa amongst others who had previously actively avoided politics are now more conscious about it all. not self pride, just that people i rate are getting involved.

Awww
I mostly avoided it because no one party ever impressed me enough. But then May turned up and went all gestapo and the red rags and DFail tried to destroy Corbyn so I looked a bit closer. Neither party is good but as leaders, they are worlds apart. And the rags are usually a good indicator of who should be in just by who they try and keep out
Also, I wasn't allowed a vote before 2015 so even if I was interested, mine would have been an empty voice.
