Damn, Radio 1 refuse to play the liar liar song due to impartiality.
Shame.
Song is hilarious.

Tim Farron prepares for major TV debate.
He'd still get re'ked
There's nothing "impartial" about treating one song differently to every other.

Wonder what happens if it gets to number 1, isn't them not playing the no1 track literally unprecedented?
Think the Thatcher protest song after her death was subject to the same 'impartiality' issue on R1.

IIRC they played it but did not acknowledge it in any way.

Lol let's hope he just gets voted into power instead of through a line of succession.

He was getting stuck in every week at PMQs just no one watched it and then took the media's word over the reality of the situation.

They played small clips as part of a Newsbeat update which explained the historical context instead of the song.

Upsetting an arms dealer and a racist is in very good taste imo, but alas the BBC disagreed
Hell of a night out when she finally popped it though, although my hangover the next morning made me want to join her

Ah okay, I get you now. My challenge then if anything is what is often perceived to be an attempt to sweep all nationalism in Scotland under a rug with UKIP. Not just the idiots you can find on Facebook who say stupid shit, seriously, about Braveheart and fuck the UK. I know until the day I die some will just say "nationalism = bad", so be it. It's possibly your optics/misunderstanding of what is happening for many voters in Scotland then, to completely miss the point of why many people feel "pushed" to wanting to escape a Union they perceive as detrimental to the well-being of the country. Ultimately, no matter how much devolution is chased, remaining part of this union cannot avoid major changes like Brexit, and some powers are going to stay centralised to a base in London that now has years of evidence of fucking things up. Especially many of the years under Tory reign, but Labour of the past completely fucked the UK too.
As I posted from the manifesto above, it's well-known the SNP, specifically Sturgeon, tried to negotiate with May and the Conservatives to protect Scotland in leaving the EU (so-called "soft Brexit"). Diplomacy failed there, as in attempts were rejected. As often is the case, people by choice refuse to observe more often than not the SNP try incredibly hard to achieve political goals without just screaming "freedom!". There comes a point where no matter how hard you try to influence and progress a Union, if it wants to go ways you do not, and you get massively outvoted, you're getting ushered along regardless.
In other words, I get how independence is a sticking point for many, but Jesus Christ take a good look at the progressive, forward-thinking options we have in the UK and ask yourself is it really all that surprising people in Scotland vote for the SNP and it doesn't always have to be about "lol Mel Gibsons up in the North rattling their sabres at us!". Read the manifesto properly, a lot of good, care and forward-thinking is in it. As is always the case. Yes, they're a party that makes mistakes, and yes, they are a party that supports Independence, but again, it's god damn slim-pickings as voters of the UK to find a party that isn't brimming with steaming shit. Labour, as things stand, are the best they've been in a while on forward-thinking, largely thanks to some of what Corbyn is good at, but again it's nearly a hopeless task getting the Union as a whole to do something different than the status fucking quo. I mean, okay, Brexit was something hugely different than the status quo, but it's such a terrible decision to make to roll out the carpet of "doing things differently". I guess you could say it illustrates Scottish views on independence to be forward thinking, inclusive and progressive versus Brexit views on independence which are far more filled with what some of you might refer to as "problematic nationalism" and things like hate, xenophobia, exclusive attitudes and so on.

Question to Theresa May from "worker" at "factory"
"There is no doubt that, just as Churchill was needed during world war two, you are needed now. But I am worried you are going to take away our freedoms with your policy with regard to British viewers. People not involved in terrorism will end up being investigated. I have a problem with that."

I was conflicted to be honest, her family is a bag of shite, including her failed African coup son. But the principle of trying not to upset families I can agree with.

Corbyn has played it perfectly, there was no way May was going to join the debate, she's clearly not great at them anyway but it would have been a disaster for her going into it last minute unprepared without having time to remember the lines given to her - either way this makes her look bad though. Corbyn just needs to have a good night otherwise people will quickly forget May didn't turn up and focus on him instead.

Anyone see May on Sky News just now? She got battered.
Not the first time either. Similar sentiment from a few right wing outsiders actually. I wonder if there is a plot afoot to scrape through the election, remove May, and replace her with a true Brexiteer?
Was there an urinal rule in place?

You never know who is a foreigner!
Although, that's a bit unfair on the journalists. UKIP voters? Meh, probably a realistic line of thought not to get too close to foreigner cooties.

Is it? I'm pretty sure that 9% of all posts (i.e. yours) are pro Lib Dem.
She wouldn't do it right though. She would probably end up looking like weak as fuck.

Well. I find it's the most sensible rule. Always see it used in non-busy trains and under-subscribed events. It just makes sense.

I hope someone can question Corbyn on this tariff free access to the single market while him also acknowledging freedom of movement will end and we're leaving the EU.
At face value you could see both Labour and Cons pretty similar yet there's this extremely fanciful bit in there.
Is it just him not understanding the real situation that this isn't possible, stating it for the lulz, or is it that important to his beliefs and that he'll steer the UK to a EEA EFTA type situation and leave the EU in name. He does stress the tariff free access is incredibly important so I just wonder is he leaving the door open while sounding like the party will go through with Brexit or will he let single market access go.

You throw a Cornflake of confusion, your enemy is stunned and confused for 10 seconds.

How many cornflakes can you get for 6.8 pence?
First google result gives a kilo of cornflakes from Iceland for £2.
I've got one of those cereal variety packs in my desk (don't ask), and the cornflakes packet contains 17g.
So my kilo box apparently contains 58.8 servings.
Which works out at 3.4 pence per bowl.
So I guess two bowls?
I'm ready for the Tory spokesperson role guys! Put me in!

...Quiche, I know we have differences on lots of things, but if you're telling you eat cereals without milk, you understand that we'll have to part ways.
Those variety boxes are too small even for children. How have you not starved?

It's perfectly acceptable to eat honey nut cheerios as a finger food sans milk.
Admittedly cornflakes might be a bit dry on their own
Edit:
Hey take it up with Kelloggs. They apparently think that's an acceptable portion.
Mrs Quiche has recently started making homemade granola. Absolute gamechanger imo.
