This is despite the fact he has received funds for the woodland the protesters picnicked in under the English woodland grant scheme, which comes from taxpayer money." So wtf does matey want with almost 3,000 acres? You'd assume anything that receives/claims public funds would be accessible to the public, but it seems much of it is used for pheasant breeding/shooting for the rich bods as a bit of fun. As for protesting, they were eating what? Surely the picnic contained some layered sponge cake and not Victoria bloody Sponge for goodness' sake. We'll be naming potatoes after the monarchy next thing you know. | |

90 years on from Kinder Scout on 21:19 - May 8 with 657 views | HARRY10 | That is something that is long overdue, renaming food (christ, that'll set off the wokey cokeys good and proper ) No more Beef Wellington, sandwich or Victoria sponge. Beef Atkins, an Ips wich and a Paddington cake. Yes, turf out the silly ar ses from the upper chamber along with any religos. The Royals are set to be scaled back after Liz hands in her dinner plate. And I suspect there'll be a few more Commonwealth countries telling the royals to far cough, as with Edward and Juan Carlos's boy, when they recently tipped up in the Caribbean. However, a bit more levelling up is not what is on the mind of those who paid for brexit. Can't have the great unwashed thinking just because they pay for something they should have use of it. Give them some of that pageantry stuff, that'll distract them for a while "master knows best .... baa baa" | | | |
