The speaker went on to announce that MI6 has recently determined the the potentate of a small Italian microstate is a Catholic.

Sorry, that was so clearly outside the penalty box. VAR is a total joke.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark's penalty.

So the BBC news main story tonight across the UK is that Scotland have qualified for the World Cup, pushing even the Epstein files release vote to no 2 story.

So can we have no more whinging from Scottish nats that the BBC ignores Scotland!

Behave, tonight isn’t about politics.

Denmark delenda est.

Is that Scottish Gaelic?

No, its English overconfidence, because most Scots are currently hiding behind the sofa.

My sofa is hiding behind the sofa and I'm behind both.

On topic...

This is why the Texas redistricting is so dangerous for the Republicans: it's taking a bunch of districts that were 60:40 to the Republicans last time (thanks to Hispanics swinging Republican), and making more of them, but making them 55:45.

If the Texas Hispanic vote swings back to the Democrats by even half of the numbers seen in New Jersey, then the Republicans could easily end up with a net loss of Congressional Districts.

Gerrymandering is a dangerous game.

Also worth emphasizing that a lot of Gerrymandering has been done on the basis that Hispanic voters tend Republican. That Gerrymandering is problematic if that logic falls apart

That would be so funny.

GOP deserve to be out of office for two generations at least.

Two proper generations, not a Scot Nat generation.

I cannot help but feel dismay at this polling and it is probably the Greens being at 27% that dismays me the most. Scottish education has plunged new depths over the period of the SNP administration but that so many of my countrymen and women are so incapable of even the most basic analysis or assessment of Scotland's needs is just appalling.

In the UK or out of it, its very difficult to see a viable path going forward. JM Barrie once said "there are few more impressive sights than a Scotsman on the make." What have we done to ourselves and our children?

I’m disappointed by this place

This morning I came up with a very rude political Spoonerism: stunt karma

I then made up a phrase including it: political stunt karma (a phrase appreciated by @Benpointer )

I then found a very recent and topical example of k*** Starma’s political stunts leading to karma

And nobody replied with any sort of acknowledgment of the Spoonerism

PBers are a tough crowd, the amount of times they’ve all missed my subtle puns/musical references is astonishing.

Number of times.

Also worth emphasizing that a lot of Gerrymandering has been done on the basis that Hispanic voters tend Republican. That Gerrymandering is problematic if that logic falls apart
