Ah... Thought I read this somewhere but maybe not. "I ain't often right but I've never been wrong"

Isn't "the guy on the right" Josh Davis hisself?

That'll be it, yes. And Fray Bentos meat pies with Argentina.

I see Mark Menzies has been suspended from his role as trade envoy to Colombia, Chile, Peru and Argentina. Let me think, what trade with Colombia could Tory MPs possibly be interested in?

That's crazy and great! WTF is Weir doing there? Worth watching to the end for The Spoon Guy too :)

"And one by one when everything is silent in the town I'll kill the tyrants one by one I'll shoot the f... loggers down"

Animal cruelty so that bookies can get rich. It wouldn't still be going on if 63 people had died as part of a "sporting" spectacle.
