It can't be fake given that there's an MP involved...it's either a misquote or he's a moron.

It's also shocking that an MP (member of the British Parliament) would want to bring the fact to light about his own constituency though...surely you want to make some changes first then brag about the results?

I think the geneal idea is the fact the source is the Mail which has a habit of using hyperbole. And as such they could've his words out of context for example there the Mail was going on about Clegg being some sort of Nazi at the General Election becasue of an ariticle he wrote eight years ago. When in fact the article was about people getting over their World War hostility to Germany and embracing Europe. When it comes to the Mail they prefer creating feelings of outrage rather than actual journalism.

This really doesn't surprise me. I know a few people that work with scroungers (in relation to their children) and many of the parents can't spell, write or speak properly and some of them just don't care about the children as long as they get the benefits.



Psssssst.. I did only say "some"!

I'm from the South so it may just be a Northern thing.....

Well most parents in the North refer to their children as "little shits", so it isn't surprising they wouldn't know their own name if their parents were always too drunk to remember it.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
