    Apparently, scrunching up your toes helps🤔

    Helps with what? Bunions? Cramp? Listening to ministerial blag (whichever colour) on the radio? Watching Spurs (not) play? Listening to people talkin' and speakin'?

    Tony Blair's Labour government was elected on the back of Tory sleaze and the promise to eradicate it.  He certainly eradicated Tory sleaze by getting them out of office, but unfortunately he, his followers and other members of his family dived head first into the trough and took self-serving to a whole new level.

    Inappropriate urge to pee.
     Might work with what you've mentioned also @steveTu. I've never tried it for anything

    Exactly, Pigs in a trough the whole damned lot of them. 
    I'm not sure the labour party were accused of accepting money from some of the scumbags the tories cozy up with .
    Maybe you know differently?

    I don't know if Labour had their own collection of scumbags to take money from, but I'd be surprised if they didn't.
    I definitely agree with your 'Pigs in troughs' comment.  The whole system stinks but I haven't seen of one anywhere in the world which could be held up as shining example of good governance with no self-interest driving it.  Those countries where they have to form coalitions seem to spend months with nobody in real control.  Even if you believe that the LibDems formed a partnership with the Tories for purely altruistic reasons (Yeah, right!), look where it landed them at the next election.
  • @steveTu  -  and so on ad infinitum.  I'm surprised anyone has the time to post  Speaking of which, must dash :D

    Indeed so, but this lot certainly have done scummy supporters.
    Hardly a day goes by without someone involved in money laundering, or some similar dodgy deal being "outed" as a tory donor.

    Hopping about on crossed legs AND scrunching toes ?  Bit too much of that multi tasking lark for me :D

    Haha, Phillipa I love it! Putting the kettle on does it for me! I remember needing urine samples from patients who of course had just ,"been" putting the tap on in the loo, standing there cross legged,them saying 'Im sorry,I can't go". Working in isolation once,with a urine infection,that was "up there"!!
