They're in every hue of brown, orange, black, and blue, and now in Rome at the 60th birthday bash I believe saw white, by now she must have hundreds.

Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.<br /> <br />There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.<br /> <br />In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.<br /> <br />Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. <br /> <br />Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away. <br /> <br />By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".<br /> <br />During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl.<br /> <br />Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza.

Durin...No Lee is not right and neither are you CG.<br /><br />During Tony Blair's first term of office, Britain had never had it so good. He disgraced himself by hanging on to George W. Bush's coat tails and leading us in to the unjustifiable conflict in Iraq. Bumbling Gordon Brown should never have been allowed to drift into Number 10 but he was stymied by the financial crash of 2008. He did not create that crash - it was a worldwide phenomenon.<br /><br />Mind you, both you and Lee seem to have made the mistake of thinking that I am Labour through and through. This is not the case. Labour is centrist and I am instinctively much further to the left than that. As the signs say when leaving British ports - "Keep Left". In history, only socialist pressure had improved the lot of ordinary working people.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-552618529759554992017-03-21T11:44:54.383+00:002017-03-21T11:44:54.383+00:00Ah come on, at least give Labour credit for puttin...Ah come on, at least give Labour credit for putting comedy back into politics.

I would scorn any politician of any hue for associating themselves willingly with populist publications like "Vogue". Of course others in the past have done shallow, money-making things like this but that doesn't make it right in my humble opinion. Instead of massaging her image, May should be working tirelessly to get Britain through the Brexit mess created by The Conservative Party who walked so blindly into it.
