How the fuck did the Conservatives win in the UK?! Again?
And
Am I hallucinating the blatant, obvious, immense Hypocritical Humour, here? Is this guy insane in the head?

Economically, no. Socially, maybe. That dichotomy is one reason why Europe is so messed up at the moment.
Of course it's insane if you actually read the Constitution. These people don't care about that, though; they believe that the only people who can be trusted in America are Christians.

So, watching The Five (I live in that household), Kimberly Guifoyle believes that it doesn't matter that Carson can't take the oath to defend the Constitution, he has the nerve to say what he believes! Geraldo Rivera took her to task for it (yes, Geraldo Rivera looks sane on The Five; I'm at least willing to give Juan Williams some breathing room). Greg Gutfeld also strawmans liberal progressives.
"Somehow the hated have to walk a tightrope, while those who hate do not."It was revealed today that when he was at uni the now PM stuck his dick in the mouth of a dead pig, apparently a picture was taken, so there is a PM, pig, dick pic, out there somewhere.
And the Tories one though fear of the SNP and Labour never challenging the narrative that we caused 2008. But yes, we've currently out crazier you guys, it's embarrassing, please change it.

Tabloid stuff. Might as well make something up. Like. Teddy Roosevelt fellated a seizuring doe and there is a vine of it.

Yeah sorry buddy, nothing we or you ever do will restore the dignity of the United Kingdom of Great Briton and Northern Ireland after this. We may be a racist xenaphobic declining vile hellhole of a country, but our President never fucked a pig.

Yes yes it was.
Among other Frat things the PM did was burn a 50 pound note in front of a homeless person. And to think I once thought the UK had moved past the days of Oliver Twist, and had become less snobby than not only it's former self, but also the US.
X7 The P Ms office are refusing to dignify it with a response, plus the allegation is coming from a former Tory party dinner who's bitter about not getting a top job. Either way it's funny as hell to watch.
X6 Come and help us elect Corbyn, our version of Bernie Sanders, he's already leader of the opposition.
X3 It was a society imitation ceremonie. If he was drunk or not is unknown, but in the end we don't have a frat culture over here, frat style hazing with initiation ceremonies are only done by super posh societies at Oxford and Cambridge, outside of that world it doesn't happen. Remember, most British unis don't have anything equivalent to frays, they simply don't exist.
Everybody in the US might fuck dead animals to get into super posh society groups, but we don't even have such organisations over here normally, so this is big for us.

“And the Bunny nails it!” ~ Gabrael “If the UN can get through a day without everyone strangling everyone else so can we.” ~ CyranThey also did initiation by trashing restraints and standing on tables chanting "pleb" at working class people.
Frats are not a thing over here, so this kinda shit is new to us.

Nah. Option 1: Same old Corrupt fuckers. Option 2: Same old corrupt fuckers. Option 3: Hugo Chavez wannabe. Option 4: Extremist evangelists. At least the U.S and Britain has people who seem to be well poised to do some change...more importantly, they also have the resources to do it.
r00d.
@Silasw: Why is it the rich guys that do the bizarre shit? And why oh why would one actively shit on the poor? Isn't it enough for them to exist?
The pig-fucking controversy fully explained.
Even if it's not true, I hope he'll Never Live It Down.

What happened today? And you do know Cameron would be considered liberal by US standards, it's why he and Obama are best buds.
