Might have a go for that, reckon I’d be in with a chance there, I would guess that old, white, racists could possibly be under-represented in that type of employment? I think legally they have to to give me the job don’t they?Guest 1713 likes this - 12 February 2018 21:37339489Looks like us fellas are now feeling what disenfranchisement it is like.

Only in your party your grace, all the others in the UK have had or have a woman person as leader. Scottish Labour, Scottish Conservative, SNP, Plaid Cymru, Welsh Labour, the Greens, Sinn Fein, DUP, UKIP, even the Tories have had two Prime Ministers. So it leaves you as a bedfellow with the BNP and the Lib Dems.Reginald Barrington likes this - 12 February 2018 22:22339491#8 And there was me thinking that Scottish Labour and Welsh Labour were part of the the Labour party, had ex-officio seats on the NEC, had the same whips at Westminster, had the same principles.Just because you don't take an interest in politics doesn't mean that politics won't take an interest in you.
