‘MPs have had their stomachs pumped’: concerns over ‘alcohol-soaked’ culture in Westminster

‘MPs have had their stomachs pumped’: concerns over ‘alcohol-soaked’ culture in Westminster

Somehow, I do not see this as the same terribleness of topic as the usual Guardian article. This is not -- what was the word -- gooning(?) the nation, allowing/facilitating corruption, choosing an incompetent to lead the country, z.B., that the Guardian normally alerts us about. It's more like, some MPs have sex outside of marriage (but not with Russian agents) sort of thing. Unless, perhaps, they are suggesting that this "culture" is responsible for the disasters of and since the Cameron government? I didn't skim it looking for that sort of thing, so please correct me if I missed too much while skimming.

The article was primarily about the amount MPs drink, I thought -- to the extent in some cases that they've been taken to hospital to have their stomachs pumped -- and the effect it has on the Palace of Westminster and other people who work there.

Vampire-obsessed man detained after dumping animal corpses outside churches in New Forest

A man fascinated with vampires and graveyards who apparently believed he would live for ever if he drank blood has been detained in hospital after being caught dumping animal corpses outside churches in a British forest.

During an earlier court appearance, Lewis, of Totton, Southampton, answered “Count Dracula” when asked to identify himself.

Judge William Mousley KC said he would be detained for treatment unless and until either a mental health tribunal or the justice secretary considered it safe for him to be released.

Pilot pulls off Count Binface stunt for Clacton byelection

A pilot has traced the shape of a bin with their flight path near Clacton before Count Binface challenges Nigel Farage in a byelection on Thursday.

The light aircraft spent around half an hour between 2,100ft and 4,150ft above the sea near the Essex coastal town zigzagging to mark out the shape of a bin, according to data from Flightradar24.


The plane took off from Earls Colne airfield near Colchester at 2.48pm on Saturday and landed at 4.13pm. The aircraft is in private ownership, according to Flightradar24, and the pilot’s identity is unknown.

Interesting and thoughtful post by Fraser Nelson, who's certainly on the right of British politics but is also thoughtful and decent. Americans might find his analysis of Reform's Zia Yusuf, (try to imagine Stephen Miller, only as a practicing Muslim) interesting, if only for an introduction to one of our more bizarre political figures.

Can Nigel Farage rein in his policy chief?

Big Macs v Supermac's: Irish burger chain wins UK trademark case

Supermac's and McDonald's have been embroiled in a long running legal battle over the right to use brand terms including "Mac".

www.bbc.com

"An Irish fast food chain locked in a long running dispute with McDonald's has been told it can register its name and logo in the UK...

"The UK ruling comes just weeks after the European Union Intellectual Property Office upheld a decision that means Supermac's cannot register its name as a trademark in the European Union."

Finally! A Brexit benefit!

A Candidate Named ‘Count Binface’ Is the Most Normal Part of This Pivotal UK Election

Clacton's parliamentary race has it all: Nigel Farage, a man dressed as a trash can, a Union Jack bikini, white nationalist conspiracy theories, and 34 candidates on the ballot.

I'm jealous of Britain right now. Your joke politicians actually intend to be funny.

OK OK, so not all of them...

I look forward to being treated to a Parliamentary session wherein the Member will be recognized with the following phrase, "The right honorable Bin from Clacton."

This might have been posted at some point. Is a political bio of the dude behind the bin.

Count Binface has taken on three PMs and lost - but could this be his best ever performance?
