I know that neither Jews nor Muslims celebrate Christmas - but what a day to demonstrate to the world that you are a complete c**t

I think clot is a bit mild, I’d have used the really rude word :wink:

A complete Jeremy Hunt, then.

Nah, a right Burlington, me ol’ sparra.

Yes, but although Netanyahu claims he wants to eradicate Hamas, basically he needs their continued existence in order to continue the war and thereby stay out of jail.

Makes one wonder what Trump might initiate if re-elected…

Berkshire (Hunt) ?
Burlington is 100/30 (Bertie)

It’s listed in a couple of rhyming slang references - I checked as I’d never heard that one before.

Yes, Burlington can be used for ‘the word’ … Burlington Hunt, but Burlington Bertie is the original.

Questions Reporters Ask Mrs. Claus That They Would Never Ask Mr. Claus

By Meena Harris

“Who’s watching the world’s children while you’re in the workshop?”

“Any advice for ladies looking to lose that milk-and-cookies weight?”

“How does it feel to be the world’s most innovative toy-maker’s muse?”

“Why red? Why a suit? And would you say that it’s brave to be seen in public wearing something so comfortable?”

“What’s it like to be a woman in stem (Santa’s Toy-Enterprise Mission)?”

“You’re such a maternal figure to children across the globe—when are you going to have one of your own?”

“I’m thinking about all the little girls who look up to you. Are you setting the right example by shackling yourself to the patriarchal heteronormative institution of marriage?”

“How’s the love life with the big man? Are you on the ‘naughty list’ this year?”

“Is it true that you keep the ‘nice list’ on a private e-mail server?”

“Isn’t the greeting ‘ho ho ho’ a bit misogynistic?”

“You have a pretty chilly workplace. Are you sure that you don’t want to borrow my jacket?”

“Is the stress of the holiday season getting to you, or are you just on your period?”

“What would you say to those who accuse you of spending too much time being holly-jolly, and too little time focussing on the issues that face hardworking North Polers?”

“Rudolph has been in office for nearly a century. Have you thought about using your platform to convince Santa that a female reindeer should guide his sleigh this foggy Christmas Eve?”

“Have you considered adding some makeup to your Christmas wish list? Nothing wrong with your natural look, of course—I think it’s festive.”

“Is it hard to stand out in the male-dominated industry of holiday mascots? How do you compete with Santa, the Easter Bunny, Cupid, Jack Frost, Hanukkah Harry, Baby New Year, the Krampus, and Punxsutawney Phil?”

“Is it tough to maintain yuletide cheer in the shadow of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization?”

“As a public figure, how do you manage to stay so consistently out of shape?”

“Mrs. Claus, do you have any comment about the deplorable working conditions faced by the elves at Santa’s workshop? Doesn’t the refusal to recognize their union directly undercut your feminist ideology?”

I’m putting this here because Leadsom had to be wearing this for a joke or a bet.

Right?
