Wouldn't want your delivery driver not to inconvenience the chumps who went there in person.

Don’t get me wrong, I barely order in. For this reason. But if I’m gonna then I’d rather put money into somewhere that I like to eat out at.

Make sure they stick around.

So it can not be a boater who is running veg oil in a diesel with a leaky tank or containers fell off the boat.

Thought used cooking oil has value, used to make bio diesel. There have been thefts of cooking oil.

More concerned that chilango have 5 dark sights.

More interested in the health and hygiene of the sites

I used to work next door to a Deliveroo Dark Kitchen - it was a shithole.

Also, they used to pour their used cooking oil straight down the drain.

That is worrying, the hygiene and the value of the oil

So it can not be a boater who is running veg oil in a diesel with a leaky tank

There are a hundred reasons why it isn’t a boater. Please stop being silly.

LAPD chief retires, our mate William sees him off:

I’m happy that during Moore’s final moment as Chief he had to hear my
mouth.

Oh fuck, this cunt's back
I remember him running an abusive, mysoginistic campaign against a woman in Brum I think a few years ago. Horrible toxic piece of work

I salute his courage, his strength, his indefatigability.

I trust the people of Rochdale will enjoy their brief interlude of being represented by such a self-centred, egotistical chancer.

There really was no win in this by election.

Also worth considering whether the wider electorate were informed enough to ignore Ali even though there was a Labour badge next to his name or if they actually wanted galloway

There really was no win in this by election.

This.

The quality of the candidates was incredibly poor. But give some credit to Galloway, he knows how to run a single issue campaign very effectively.

I trust the people of Rochdale will enjoy their brief interlude of being represented by such a self-centred, egotistical chancer.

On the plus side, their self-centred egotistical former representative somehow did worse than Labour's non-candidate.

single issue campaign

Primark for Rochdale?

It might not be a win as such, but the silver lining to Galloway getting elected is that hopefully it will make the mainstream political parties realise that supporting an apartheid government and an army busy committing genocide and war crimes does not translate to votes at the ballot box.

Wow:

How much drivers pay in tax to buy a new SUV
BMW X5 (emissions of 196gm CO2/km)

France €60,000
Netherlands €32,870
UK €1,805

I saw that too.

To check my understanding, when I buy a €80k bmw x5 then:

France = €120k
NL = €113k
UK = €82k

?

I mean I'm all for taxing the fuckers, but closing on 100% tax seems a bit mental.

I'm mean, it's almost as is such a high tax would disincentivise someone from choosing that particular vehicle, and maybe make them consider a greener alternative that didn't have such a punitive tax charge.

It's an interesting window into the psyches of different countries. The UK must think that ~£1800 is good enough to make people think twice, even though it obviously isn't.

Galloway ran here after Kaufman died and was a smarmy cunt then too, his posters were everywhere for ages, there might still be a very faded one above a corner shop. Many years ago he seemed alright but ego and weird cat play along with grubby, opportunistic campaigning make him a big no no.

Gorgeous George, grubby? Surely not.

There's virtually zero community positives and lots of negatives for them so why not.

I guess it's like the hefty tax on cigarettes.

As M. Greenbank said, it's just incentivising lower polluting cars. Sound policy

Nissan Qashqai (142g CO2/km)

France €1,172
Netherlands €8,770
UK €294

Isn't Galloway the "Islamist hate group" that Truss and Bannon were discussing the other week or was there someone else on the ballot?
