I don’t even have to watch this to know she is a hypocrite!
Fantastic – really good, thank you Julia…
I think this is really good and I am so happy to hear our PM speak with a more cultured voice. I don’t think she
is being a hypocrite, I think she is being a good PM.
Is that the Bangham Cup?
Was that tongue in cheek John, who’s cheek. I can’t believe you would lend your name to this. I once shook your hand, I’ll certainly have second thoughts next time. I’m not surprised Julia would be in it, she needs as many votes as she can get.
Unbelievable.
Imagine if we decided to have a heterosxual tournament of any sport let alone Rugby, there would be a hue and cry from all the bleeding heart lefty mutant minorities, but no it’s fine to have GAY competitions and anyone who complains will be branded whateverphobic.
How do you prove your GAYNESS??? does somebody stick up for you?
Thanks to all the noisy whingeing politically correct minorities, this country is quickly going to rack and ruin.
