Well you know what you can do, don't you?
Believe me, HQ will be laughing at these posts.

Good to see those cartoons. Its healthy to laugh at it all. You need a sense of humour these days. grin

But that old hat I do like
Like it I do,
And the steam has not run
Why, it’s here, can’t you see?
And so, said the cat, while I’m wearing my hat
That is that.

I thought this thread was hilarious - and it just got funnier ?

Joke:

What about the two old dears, one says "Are you voting in the second Brexit referendum?" and the other replies "I hope to. I wasn't old enough to vote the in the first one."

Here's one for the remainers

Urmstongran Mon 28-Oct-19 20:54:44

I can’t believe you’ve reported this thread pttr

In the words of the great John McEnroe ‘you cannot be serious!’
?

That's OK painting - you don't have to find it funny. That's the beauty of humour, there are no rules about what we should and shouldn't find funny smile

Are there any Brexit related memes you do find funny that might appeal to both remainers and leavers that you'd like to share?

No. Humour is not a free for all.
Democracy is very important and I don't think it is at all funny for anyone to be posting about how important it is to blow parliament up. We need parliament more than ever.

And no. I am not a 'LASS; thanks .

I'm all for jokes, but this is not one of them .

Humour is like a safety valve.

I have often wondered why we want to burn Guy when the H o C is full of...........

Sorry Painting but it is funny There is nothing wrong with a joke for anyone who can see it is just a joke. just a safety valve.

Urmstongran Mon 28-Oct-19 20:43:56

pttr don’t be daft lass.

Cartoons and jokes about politics are the stuff of life!

SirChenjin Mon 28-Oct-19 20:43:53

Ahh well, humour is subjective as we all know. In life you either laugh or cry - and I prefer to laugh (or however the saying goes).

Pantglas2 Mon 28-Oct-19 20:39:30

I laugh again and again on these threads and have my views disrespected on a regular basis without ever resorting to calling folks bullies. We can all express a view without the name calling.

Ha ha - now this is where the words ‘Oh dear’ are well and truly justified....

Urmstongran Mon 28-Oct-19 20:29:45

Bluddy hell pttr talk about sense of humour lobotomy!

paintingthetownred Mon 28-Oct-19 20:28:02

Hello no. Don't think it is at all funny this thread. In fact it is a threat of violence towards parliament and democracy..
Don't think this is very funny. At. all
reported it to HQ.
Don't have much faith in them anyway but this thread is way out of order.

Here's one that caught my eye.

varian Mon 28-Oct-19 18:59:29

Who'd vote for this pile of s..t?

Pantglas2 Mon 28-Oct-19 18:59:19

Nope varian, nice try - check out my post on the ‘can anyone apart from the elite....’thread

Loiria Mon 28-Oct-19 18:53:28

Brilliant - except for the swearword, of course!

varian Mon 28-Oct-19 18:42:22

The funny thing is that lots of folk who deplore bureaucracy went and voted for far more bureaucracy!

Pantglas2 Mon 28-Oct-19 18:24:00

Hilarious Bathsheba! It ties in with another thread where I deplore levels of bureaucracy and government to which we are subjected!
