Lucky, the Inscrutable

I always weep reading the Wikipedia pages of senior Singaporean politicians. The general career path seems to be: Excel at school and secure a scholarship to study some super difficult subject, like maths or physics, at Cambridge University. Excel at university and get a scholarship to do a post-grad degree in governance or an MBA at Harvard. Join the Singaporean military and excel. Reach at least the rank of Brigadier or General. Enter politics. Excel even compared with others who have similar CVs, rise to become a senior position. Compare that with the career path of the average senior British politican. Get the same results as every other middle class child at school. Do PPE or straight up politics at university. Leverage your contacts to become a SPAD for a cabinet or shadow cabinet member. Get a column writing gig at the Spectator, Economist or New Statesman Become a more senior SPAD. Run in an impossible to win seat to prove you really want to be in parliament. Get parachuted into a safe seat as a rising star. Get a junior ministerial position in the first reshuffle after the election. Get made a cabinet member after the next election. Now, why is Singapore an extremely well run country and we are not?

Wow - Rudyard Kipling’s ‘If’ given a fantastic rock makeover - thank you to whoever put this together… #eastend #If #RudyardKipling

We are governed by evil retards.

Folks in the last 5 Days in London; Just 3 of many Incidents; A 14yr Boy shot dead in Woolwich; TRIPLE Stabbing Peckham; One dead Two fight for life; DOUBLE Stabbing Primrose Hill; One dead another seriously Injured; IF? This is SAFE London I’d hate to see the UNSAFE London🤷‍♂️🙄🤦‍♂️

"And I piped him off all over my tits"

It will bankrupt the country but still they will go ahead with it.

@Politic56721677 They all sound like Pakistani names. So presumably not a new Iranian terrorist cell, that no one had heard of until a couple of weeks ago, that the initial news was pushing.

Three Muslims have been charged with the London attack on the Jewish ambulances - Hamza Iqbal, Rehan Khan and some unnamed 17-year-old Pakistani cockroach.

One doesn’t need to speak French to understand this. What do you think folks, is it accurate?

Remember when the Metro tried to prove that the countryside is racist by drawing a picture of three white people scowling at a black woman in a meadow?

🚨 What? … The King of the UK, who gave official Ramadan messages from the palace during Lent … WILL NOT be issuing an Easter message for Christians this year. It appears the ‘Leader of the Faith’ doesn’t really want to lead a Christian country 💣

🚨Please Repost🚨 One of my follower's friend's daughter is missing. Victoria Hain, 20, from Rayleigh, was first reported missing on March 28. She has links to the Basildon and Southend areas, and was last seen wearing skinny jeans, olive green boots and a black raincoat-type jacket. She's 4ft 10/11in in height with mousy brown shoulder-length hair which is partially dyed blue. If you have any information, dial 101 quoting incident 1452 of 28 March."

Rory, I am married to a Muslim; you talk crap about pretty much everything. Many, many liberal Muslims, esp. women, actively despair at the hardline clerics, factions and Muslim Brotherhood fellow travellers that we are importing into the UK without a thought as to consequences, to say nothing of the quantities of illegal migrants from cultures that practise a) child marriage, b) open hostilty to non-Muslims and c) paedophilia in various cultural disguises. And we haven't even touched on cultural issues with legal migration. I know you are called Florence of Arabia, but may be talk to women living in some areas of London now. Keep going, John Cleese.

This is deeply disturbing to hear from a Member of Parliament and the Liberal Democrat’s Home Affairs Spokesperson. X is a platform that promotes free speech and allows users to share their views. Mass immigration is a major issue in public and political debate — and one that citizens should be freely able to engage with. It is not illegal to criticise mass immigration — but it appears @mpmwilko wishes it were 👇

Has he actually read the Koran ? The bit about killing 'infidels' Doesn't sound very Canadian

The Left simultaneously argues: - all immigration is economically beneficial and culturally enriching - immigrants are poverty stricken and we’re morally rotten if we don’t spend a fortune on them Their deliberately dishonest thinking will bankrupt us.
