Simply amazing. One could argue the words were an instruction to the listener, but maybe I am being too charitable. If you listen to the whole speech, it was very flowery and pseudo statesmanlike with references to the motto around the Three Legs of Man and stuff like that, and obviously all scripted. I'm sure Lawrence isn't too bothered, it's not that big a deal, but if he is maybe the mechanism whereby the Hansard editor can be persuaded to break the machine just for those few seconds - à la Eddie and the Towel Heads MP3 here: 20200721 LS MHK STOP THINK 01.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donald Trumps Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 He's there now Perhaps he was out getting measured for his Jolly Green Giant outfit now that his government is going for a "safe, green, digital island" The only green thing I'd associate him with are the green fields he tried to have concrete covered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 5 hours ago, Donald Trumps said: Comments made by members that they only had a couple of hours to digest the strategy & are then expected to vote on it That sounds vaguely familiar. Didn't the same thing happen with the last Budget or maybe the one before? "Here's the Budget chaps, no need for any debate, you don't need to know anything, just vote it through".
