I feel sorry for the U.Ks MPs.?

M.Ps. are being hard done to.
After hearing about a complaint from an M.P. saying than Britain was becoming a Nazi state when he was being interviewed during the expenses scandal.
As well as the raid on the offices of an M.P last year the police where publicly accused of being heavy handed.
May be these M.Ps should see what the rest of the U.K population has to put up with on a daily bases from rules that they have thrown on to the rest of the population. How out of touch can they be? I think U.K politics needs re inventing and being more public orientated. We are in a police state lets get back to being a democratic state.

Hmm.. One Wanders....

By imbecile

Sign of the times Chris. !!! Here is another sign dear,guess what Im a doin .!!!

By santana

Poor Chriz, I wonder what he has done to have landed in such troubles with the UK military police. Pir'aaps them false macho sissies simply don't like any sign of sodiumoite behaviour all too much?

Also wonderin'from where Chriz is posting from. Do military briggs nowadays have internet accomodations too, Chriz? Not too bad for a hopefully temporary stay in some military police detention facilities, nae?

Chriz, be mindful of all your prison movie common and practical knowledge, so please watch out for the batons of them brutes and remember don“t pick up the soap bar and leave it just where it fell on the ground, me good man! Would you like us to bring you some cigarettes.

Okay, Chriz, wish ye all the sfincteral strength to keep up proper tight snugness.

By owhereman

Oooaps...sorry, forgot to put me spectacles on! I think Chriz must be referring to UK members of Parliament?
I see now, well, how to understand them?

I think it could be very well plausible to just consider the latter as being similar to corrupt military policemen this time merely having changed their military dress for a civilian corporate suit. And they do not wield their batons visibly in hands anymore, but just let it dangle in between the hoses of their pocket filled trousers, nae.

Perhaps this perspective could represent a more positive good appetizer instead of the usual puking for once, Chriz?

By owhereman

Whaddafeck! Still got the wrong spectacles on, these ones must be me wifey's.
O, I see, Chriz has a problem with morbid painters.

Well Chriz, you seem to be in the perfect place here, man. Here's filled to the brim with those morbid painters whom you despise so.

What did they do to you Chriz? Apart from some heretary corruption traits, morbid painters don't have to do anything, true?
Are they not usually morbidly lurking in the dark and refusing to produce any productive response besides mentally roaming in the morgue of postmortemism.
Is this not enough for the many who had their fill of this morbidly dark parasitism, nae.

Always morbid painters are pondering: I'm gonna paint THIS and THAT, and then say THIS and THAT on Sootchi, but when it comes to do anything about THAT, it becomes so blatantly obvious that they have forgotten to purchase new brushes and paint and to order canvasses, and then they start to complain about a feeling of a swallowed plumpit in their raspy throat and suffering from stiff fingers from cold, you know their usual drill.

So, perhaps this could be one of many reasons for a morbid painter to chuck it all away and instead take up photography of masculinoid asses as a new profession. For the clicking a diagframatic shutter to open and close is more easy, nae? Forget things like play of light and background, we all know about that drill too, ye know.

By owhereman

Hummmm...obviously still haven't got it right...Chriz must have meant: UK masculine persons...

Well then, Chriz, what's your problem with that damned masculinity, you come tell me.

I'll tell you what I know: Whenever masculine persons try to be more masculine than masculine, macho so to say, it merely makes me laugh. Then I use to think: no matter how macho you feign to be, me good buddie, you're just a puny human, and one who so to see has been caught in a wrong body, so to say.
For if one would have been in one's right body, one never would have needed to impose as more masculine than one is, bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia buddies!

Also it's widely known that when macho's do their usual macho things, oftentimes it soon enough becomes too much for them and then they suddenly break up in pieces and then comes the crying, yes, then it's macho crying time again.

Apart of these facts, Chriz, you couldn't blame any of them macho's if they stiffly refuse to get caught in the ass. You know, Chriz, we all are a tiny bit different. Don't pity them macho's, as they often will say that they don't need that.

By owhereman

Huuummm...cannot get this one right, as it seems to be. What Chriz must mean with UK MP's, it puzzles me no matter what kind of spectacles I put on and on...
Perhaps Chriz is just a dummie who lost his voice or else he knows not what to respond to polite queries, dammit!!!

Well perhaps Chriz means magpie pranksters?
Well what to tell about them birdies...let's see...I know: magpies like things that blink and glisten and besides stealing, magpies fly around and and everywhere and so they often see in the bushes masculine persons busy with things that magpies would only understand in magpie terms of what magpies do when they feel love in the season of spring and magpie eggies have to be produced.

So they fly out and tell everywhere and to anyone that they've seen UK members of parliament busy doing their thing besides stealing of the people.
Other magpies will say: no, it were military police man, or: morbid painters of postmortemagpie-ism.

And so the magpies rasp and chirp, which BTW can spell both lucky or unlucky portents for an augur qualified in the study of magpie omens.
And so the proverb goes that a magpie can be a bringer of both good or bad portents, depending upon the time of the day that its song is heard.

By owhereman

Hummmm...so if it were no magpie pranksters, then whaddahell UK MP's can mean anything else...any suggestions pleaz, nae? Ey Haggie, ye come tell us something now, are you still there.

Well perhaps it means UK master pieces? Are there any UK master pieces at all? Well we all know the Mona Lisa, nae? And Rambo and Carriveggio (always reminiscent of carrots, yummie), Vermeer, Rufus van Gogh, all from the Underground Knapsack, nae.

Any more masterpieces...o yeah, those of David and Goliath Hockney...and then there's Paw Broon....and...who's that fellow, o yes, Damien the Omen with his pet shark Hirst etc. And then of course there's Prannock and that one called Where Dreams go to Sleep and then Die, and yes, there's also no one less than Chriz himself with his masculinassie pics.

Hummmm...ye fellaz better go consult an art magazine now. It should be clear by now that socalled master pieces ain't me thing at all, please do excuse me for being such a heretic, me good sairrrrs! Sorry for them too? I think we can believe Chriz's words on that.

Ain't these represent so many masterful sundays with tea and biscuits and a hot potato in the mouth! And quite adorable, nae! Now please can you hand over the marmite to me, sairrr!

By owhereman

absolute beauties wowthereman!!!

By harrypotter

With radio and TV. Messages constantly telling people if they are falsely claming benefits they will have there possessions taken away from them and be turned in to criminals. The system is full of double standards. Quite often the people in those situations are trying to get out of it. Whilst the powers that be are dragging them down even further. Especially within the arts.

By Chris Summerfield

As long as this socalled democracy has become such a painful excuse to make shameful profits at the cost of all that's good and whole in this world, such as we have become acquainted with in our recent history, it has become merely the right to elect one's own parasites and leeches to lead one into poverty, slavery, sickness and death.
