Government resignations since autumn:
1 November 2017 - Fallon
8 November 2017 - Patel
20 December 2017 - Green
29 April 2018 - Rudd
8 January 2018 - Greening
8 July 2018 - Davis
There have been six resignations in 249 days. That’s one every six weeks

Just woken up to the news that the incompetent David Davis has resigned. Just as Brexit was all going so well? The useless Grayling should be next - how come he is still in post? Not to mention the awful foreign secretary. Interesting to watch develpments as the day wears on. The bookies and removal men will be busy.

Do leave the England snears at Wales out of this thread please. Go post on the football thread please

muffinthemoo- I was so irritated, as usual, watching Reece Smug interviewed earlier. I agree, he should run for leadership instead of effecting not to want to. The clip of the interview I watched, saw him defending Flashman Bozzer.

Mind you - we should be very careful what we wish for. If a leadership contest triggers and election, we could end up with Mr Smug as PM. That would be too awful to contemplate. Let's hope the Labour Party gets its collective act together

Ryan Giggs English???

A generation of England managers wished that was the case, but he proudly represented his native Wales

Jalima1108 Mon 09-Jul-18 23:28:49

Ryan Giggs is Welsh Grandad and played for Wales.
I thought everyone knew that - even non-football fans.

Oh dear, there was me thinking you knew everything .....

Jalima1108 Mon 09-Jul-18 23:29:23

his brother is called Rhodri - can't get more Welsh than that

Anniebach Tue 10-Jul-18 08:25:26

It was just a matter of days before the little englanders started, think I will join the ‘anyone but England’ club. ?

nigglynellie Tue 10-Jul-18 09:15:15

Grandad you seem as if you can't miss an opportunity to have a poke at annie, first the Labour party and now using Wales. It's (variation on a theme) on a par with paddyanns comments about vile England and in case you are unaware, is very very irritating, and that's putting it mildly!

nigglynellie Tue 10-Jul-18 09:18:27

and actually causes offence!

Grandad1943 Tue 10-Jul-18 09:19:30

No, I have never claimed to know everything to anybody Jalima1108 However, I do know that England are the only one of the four home nations to actually reach the finals of the world cup.

So eat your hearts out Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

We England fans always expect cheap shots from the other broken hearted home nation losers.

maryeliza54 Tue 10-Jul-18 09:19:33

So what niggly - we all have to put up with all sorts of irritating posts on GN and I actually find it very irritating that Grandad is so often the target on here.

maryeliza54 Tue 10-Jul-18 09:20:16

As for causing offence - snowflakery raises its head again.

Grandad1943 Tue 10-Jul-18 09:20:55

So, carry on. grin

Grandad1943 Tue 10-Jul-18 09:23:49

maryeliza54, I cannot find where you have used any expletives in this thread. So, what are your accusers talking about?????

Anniebach Tue 10-Jul-18 09:25:06

I have not posted one cheap shot at the England team so why a cheap shot at Wales?

maryeliza54 Tue 10-Jul-18 09:32:43

Why not? Who cares? It’s only football - anyone would think it matters.

Grandad1943 Tue 10-Jul-18 09:39:35

Yes, I posted a joke about England bequeathing Ryan Giggs to Wales, I should have realised that all the Tories and other home nation football fans on this forum were suffering a severe sense of humour loss yesterday. grin

gillybob Tue 10-Jul-18 09:49:05

Oh don’t whatever you do make a joke grandad. Remember that you are English. You should also remember that you are not allowed to be proud of your country !

Is the the term “little englander” meant to be offensive ?? I certainly sounds it .

Anniebach Tue 10-Jul-18 09:50:24

Aw a joke, pathetic excuse for not knowing Cardiff isn’t in England

Anniebach Tue 10-Jul-18 09:51:51

gilly, does one have to mock another country to express pride in your country ? I think not , you do.

gillybob Tue 10-Jul-18 09:54:17

^England are the only one of the four home nations to actually reach the finals of the world cup.

So eat your hearts out Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland^

Exactly grandad .

I bet their ABE “supporters” will be out in force tomorrow night

Anniebach Tue 10-Jul-18 09:55:55

Two little Englanders.

Shame on you gilly

gillybob Tue 10-Jul-18 09:55:58

I do ? Annie really ? Can you show me where I have mocked Wales, Scotland or NI?

Anniebach Tue 10-Jul-18 09:57:42

None so blind etc.

gillybob Tue 10-Jul-18 09:58:36

Sorry but I have nothing to be ashamed about Annie but thank you for confirming that the term “little Englander” is meant to be offensive .

gillybob Tue 10-Jul-18 09:59:28

None so blind What’s that supposed to mean ?
