    • Boris (the British Trump) destroys the progressive wing of the Conservative Party. The old 2.5 stable Party system of British politics is gone.

        Um, FF2, would you mind including links for reference? We don't always see UK news.

            As opposed to all the popping up and down and shouting?
            The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                It's really odd - the Brits have such a "stiff upper lip" or ... um.. "stoic"? image.... and to see them popping up and down like wack-a-moles and shouting is quite amusing. I'd love to know how that came to be.

                  Victorian-era stereotyping, I'm guessing.

                      The main thing is that Boris is stymied, maybe. He will wriggle out of it if he can, by finding a legal loophole, if one exists. Parliament is now suspended.

                          True, not much to do about it until there is an election. firstfloor is scouting out places of religious significance for your UK tour; I think you might like Tewkesbury Abbey. Is incense used much in your own church services?

                            I think Baptists are allergic to incense. Maybe you can find him an historic nonconforming church or two to visit.
