    From a Reform poster on FB.

    A politician, a reporter, and a British soldier were captured by Daesh and told they were to be beheaded. All three were offered a last request before the deed was done.

    The politician asked that he could hear “the internationale” one last time. A recording of the communist anthem was duly found and played out to the teary-eyed leftie.

    The reporter requested that he be allowed to address the camera used to record the executions so that he got his face on TV even after he died. The terrorists agreed to this.

    The soldier simply asked that each of the terrorists present gave him a kick up the arse before he was beheaded.

    Bemused, they did as he asked. As the last extremist boot went in, the soldier pitched forward, rolled, whipped out the browning 9mm he had concealed in his trousers and started shooting till he ran out of ammo.

    Grabbing an AK47 from dead terrorist, he calmly finished off his would-be executioners before pulling out a Cuban cigar and lighting it from his hot gun barrel.

    The amazed reporter and politician thanked the soldier profusely but were puzzled as to why he had asked for the arse-kicking before he performed his heroics.

    “Well,” says the soldier, “when we get back to the UK, I can’t have you two stringing me up for an unprovoked attack.”

    Epstein – better at holding power to account than the BBC.

      They are so done.

      The BBC put Elon’s image first, despite the fact that he has never visited the Epstein island, but conveniently omit King’s brother Andrew in the headline.
      Andrew is all over the files, having visited the Epstein island a number of times, with some really scary photographs in the files.
      Or Peter Mandelson, who visited the Epstein Island AND leaked government documents to Epstein, and is under police investigation.
      Note: X, owned by Elon, is the main rival to the BBC News business.

    Sometimes I try to see the world from TTKs eyes ( I know ) – at lunch time in PMQs he told MPs the review on Mandelson would exclude stats or national security material .

    This was generally – rightly – laughed at all around thd chamber . Now it seems the intel security committee is to independently assess what is suitable for the public domain .

    For TTK To attempt to have his own office decide what we can see was just a ludicrous idea – and whoever came up with it deserves to go … more popcorn

    The latest drop of material – dubbed the Epstein files – on 30 January included three million pages, 180,000 images, 2,000 videos, and a number of household names like Richard Branson, Bill Gates and Elon Musk.

    L-R: Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Sarah Ferguson and Ehud Barak
    ……
    Why not Richard Branson? HA HA HAHA !

    “Richard Branson’s name appears hundreds of times in the files.”

    It seems that things are moving so quickly on the alleged nastier side of Mandy and Andy about ‘secrets’, we may have to dig up Chapman Pincher PDQ…

    I would wager that Andy wouldn’t know anything about ‘trade’ if it jumped up and kicked him in the face! Clearly, he was just sent around at our expense, to show his mug, shake a few dirty mitts and let the alleged real business be dealt with by others.

    Fat lot of good that turned out to be, but will TTKow’s redactions mention what the UK actually got out of all that wasted money?
