Simple title so should be easy to update everyone with any bits of knowledge we gain.

You won't have to wait much longer to find out Primrose!

Can't wait! grin

Oh, that's hysterical Chewbacca. The article about Countryfile having a Brexit bias is brilliant too. That's my evening reading sorted! Cheers wine grin grin

Good satire ‘satirises’ everybody, so as long as it does that Chewy I shall be happy.
Remember Ballot Monkeys? Brilliant!

Actually I prefer this. More subtle and better thought out `i think

Particularly how the working class will all get jobs

The treatment of the picture of Williamson is nowhere near the same. See here for how it was changed

Alasdair Milne was director at the BBC in 1982, are you really suggesting that has any bearing today?

Anniebach Sat 17-Mar-18 22:36:21

The same words as Corbyn used about the armed forces and the Falklands , work for the unemployed

mostlyharmless Sat 17-Mar-18 22:41:53

Quite disappointed to see that the news that Spitting Image coming back is just satire about satire.

durhamjen Sat 17-Mar-18 22:48:19

Has Gavin Williamson ever been to Russia?
He won't dare go now.

Why would Corbyn say that about the Falklands?
The Falklands war was before he became an MP.

Jalima1108 Sat 17-Mar-18 23:11:12

Primrose thank you for that

I did think they were two different pictures but with Corbyn with exactly the same expression.
Is that a hat that Williamson is wearing or is it his hair?

Jalima1108 Sat 17-Mar-18 23:15:47

I expect they'll be careful to put a blue background behind Corbyn next time.
and photo shop in a blue tie
Ooh, thinks ..... that wouldn't be right thought would it?

Oh dear, Spitting Image, come back, all is forgiven.

Primrose65 Sat 17-Mar-18 23:16:54

Must be his hair Jalima, as Williamson only ever wears deely-boppers.

Jalima1108 Sat 17-Mar-18 23:22:11

Latest Tory advert.

Right side of history again?

John Pilger thinks he is honest.

Anniebach Sun 18-Mar-18 08:54:18

A sure sign of true integrity is what someone does when no one is watching them ? This is the daftest statement I have heard in quite some time.

maryeliza54 Sun 18-Mar-18 09:14:17

Not while I’m reading this thread it isn’t

Anniebach Sun 18-Mar-18 09:23:04

Are all affairs conducted in public, all battered women battered in public, did the Yorkshire ripper have crowds watching

Primrose65 Sun 18-Mar-18 10:00:43

I'm not sure John Pilger is the best journalist to use to validate your support for a politician. He said some pretty awful things about Obama which came over as racist to me and is fairly supportive of Trump. I wouldn't consider his opinion as an endorsement of anything.

durhamjen Sun 18-Mar-18 10:04:55

Sorry, Annie, but I don't think Pilger said that people who batter their wives have integrity, did he?
Your post is nonsense.

lemongrove Sun 18-Mar-18 10:11:48

Who cares what Pilger thinks?

lemongrove Sun 18-Mar-18 10:14:54

Perhaps Williamson should allow Kronos a bit of free range time in Team Corbyn’s office.grin?

Anniebach Sun 18-Mar-18 10:17:53

A sure sign of true integrity is what someone does when no one is watching .

He then gives Corbyn's expenses claim as an example which is available for the entire country to witness
