Unfortunately there's no opinion on the ballots for 'none of the above' so someone always gets elected. And anyone with the political aspirations to become leader of their party is always an arrogant cunt. Therefore, cunts get elected.

Brass band music. Check out Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band.
I'd suggest bagpipe music but it's not really for listening to, it's more for background music while you're slaughtering Englishmen.

I'm not wrong, but I understand that's not what happens.

Surely racial equality shouldn't be a thing that judges need to rule on. Everyone of age should have a vote. Women's rights shouldn't even be a thing, it's human rights.

Yes, we all know that. Nobody is denying it. You're arguing with the wind mate. But it's still the reason so many pubs closed down and so many jobs were lost in the bar and catering trade.

Oh, come on now. We're all just waiting for a diagnosis. Would you ban everything people do that puts them in danger? Riding motorcycles, bungee jumping, parachuting, rock climbing, swimming with sharks, MMA or any of the multitude of dangerous jobs folk do.
It's their choice.

Still showing stupidity then. Your argument has been won many years ago, smoking in public places is never coming back. Nor would I want it to. I was not advocating for that, I was simply saying why so many pubs closed down.

It's pretty much all on a 'need to know' basis. I'm pretty familiar with the basics of the menstrual cycle but I don't really need to know more.

If you're going to make up stories then at least try to inject an element of humour. This is just a dull lie.
