Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) Wasn't sure where to put this so thought a thread on world affairs would be more appropriate. http://www.economist.com/news/americas/21715694-nicol-s-maduro-draws-wrong-conclusions-economic-crisis-venezuela-crumbles?fsrc=scn/fb/te/bl/ed/asvenezuelacrumblestheregimedigsin Seems Chavez's "Fight for the people" was a load of old bullshit. Scary to see those figures. Edited February 2, 2017 by Anorthernsoul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7030 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 The law in this country is a pisstake like. Read an article earlier today about a lad who racially abused a hotel owner and smashed a pint glass in his face leaving a nasty wound/scar. He got a suspended sentence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the law as such I suppose, it's the fact they're being directed not to sentence people like that to save money. Same difference like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5223 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 That had been coming for ages by the sounds of things. Interesting that the protests in her favour were from elderly people who became violent though. And also that two of them died in the ensuing fracas.

Dr Gloom 21924 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) Aye, what a douche, face palming his kid. Love how the first one comes swaggering in, quickly followed by the bairn on the walker. Then the nanny crawls in, as if the camera isn't going to notice her Judging by the look on the miserable twat's face, I wouldn't be surprised if he sends her back across the border Edited March 10, 2017 by Dr Gloom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blokes between a rock and a hard place tbh, if he moves from that desk he reveals that he's not actually wearing the suit trousers, has no idea how to deal with it.

ewerk 30616 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Nah that's been dropped. We are giving a €300m maternity hospital to some nuns though. Because if there's anyone who can give women the best possible advise on maternity issues it's a group of Irish nuns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5223 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 What kind of sentence do you get for blasphemy these days anyway? I saw the nuns thing too Tbf, in the UK it'd not be spent at all so maybe giving it to nuns is better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as we've enhanced our reputation as a bunch of backwards cunts for good reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
