Mock me Roger for I am English

[Thurnez Isa]

Yeah, from what I understand he's not too popular, if not worthless at this point.

I hate him cause he destroyed the old conservative party, then led by Joe Clark, and made them into this talking point only half ass neoconservative wannabe social conservative party they are today.
Which forced me to start voting for some crazy christian loon who ranted on a soup box about homosexuality downtown until he was put in jail for beating up his mother. Now I have to vote liberal and take 3 showers afterwords to make myself feel slightly better about myself.

Joe Clark was a fucking rube.  I remember him well.  He was a schmuck, and history will beat him like a mule.

I liked Joe. He was just such a shitty politician though. I mean he lost control of his party TWICE. Mulroney in the 80's then Harper in the 90's. I can see it happening once, but how do you fall into the same trap twice?

How many times do you have to get mugged on the same street by the same people, before people call you a rube?

The dumbfuck's big plan back in the 70s was to "privatize" PetroCan.  And by "privatize", I mean "Simply GIVE it to Shell & Exxon".  That was his whole plan...and he got a big fat vote of no confidence and after a bloody struggle and some REALLY bad election ads, got tossed out on his arse.

He was a whore.  Worse, he was a DUMB whore.

[Thurnez Isa]

1) I do agree with the PetroCan
2) ads couldn't have been worse then Kim Campbell's "The economy is going to suck and there is nothing we can do about it" ads (course I'm setting the bar kind of low there)

most of my affection as you could probably tell is more of a soft spot for back when i was teenager...

No, the infamous "hockey ad" cost Clark his spot as PM.  It was truly awful.  I mean, he portrayed HIMSELF as being the bitch up against the boards.

"HI, EVERYONE!  I'M A PUNK!"

[Thurnez Isa]

I just think it's funny that Canada has politics.

Sure they do.  They're just awfully polite aboot it.

DOIN' IT WRONG.

we need a resurgence of the BLOC... just to keep things interesting. The media occasion predicts one like their some sleeping french boogie men, but nothing but boring minority governments, with little or no movement. Total waste of time.

Ive heard of it, but never got to see it. Obviously well before my time.

In LMNO's thread Fact check, plz Roger said

Silly English people.   

No wonder you had to hire Germans to run your country.

Here's something to give you  a laugh Roger -I'm not actually sure that there has ever been an English monarch of the Kingdom of England. The Neanderthals came over then there was the tribal times, then the Romans [Italian] then the dark ages - more tribalism. The Angles and Saxons were germanic, the Normans were French, King Arthur was mythical. Our favourite hero king, Richard the Lionheart didn't speak English and hardly set foot in the damn country, his evil brother John did deign to live here and was repaid for that ridiculous affectation by revolting Barons who made him sign Magna Carta.  The Tudors were Welsh, the Stuarts started out Scots and ended up Dutch and when they ran out of Dutchmen we were taken over by the Germans, from Hanoverians  [the people not the horses] to our current deeply beloved Saxe-Coburg-Gothas. Oops sorry I meant the House of Windsor. Are you still laughing because it really is utterly giggleworthy. Oh, and then there was Monty Python, which is just about appropriate I suppose

Every English Monarch has been English, except for George III.

Because anyone invades or even moves to England becomes English or goes mad.  This is a well-documented fact.  George III elected to go mad...the rest turned English.  How this transformation takes place is still not proven among reputable scientists, but seems to be either the awful cooking or the hideous perversions for which your nation is infamous. 

This, of course, excludes the Scots, who aren't allowed in England because their food is even worse, and who spend all their time fighting their traditional enemy, the Scots. 

The Irish are English by virtue of their insane insistence that they aren't, when everyone knows they are just Englishmen with potato poisoning.  The Welsh are simply a breed of Englishmen with even less tolerance to direct sunlight.  Cornishmen are those English who haven't learned to speak.

Have I missed anyone?

Of course, every ruler has ALSO been a lizard in a king and/or queen suit. ESPECIALLY the Scots.

Oh, and of course we forgot Olly Cromwell, who was a tiny king inside a lizard suit.

[Cain]

Also, Vikings!

Do never forget Old Noll . . .

Look at the stone cold evil in these eyes.  He's like Martin Sheen in The Dead Zone.

[MMIX]

no that's what sheep do - oh, ok, point taken . .

[P3nT4gR4m]

Lets face it - sheep are, biologically and intellectually speaking, the nearest thing to people that Wales has
