The maximum parliamentary term in the UK. Similar in many respects to a prison sentence except more painful, in that it affects over 60 million people, whereas a 5 year prison term ostensibly just affects the imprisoned individual. Also unlike a prison sentence, the nation could have the sentence doubled to 10 years, if Labour were to get in again!
Yes, I was caught bang to rights in the cab of my JCB trying to remove an ATM from the outside wall of my local SPAR at 2 o'clock in the morning. I got a five year term!
Like a good citizen I cast my vote on 4 July 2024, but unfortunately we've got Kier Bloody Stamer and his bunch of ponces, likely for a five year term!

An extremely painful experience, similar to a lobotomy, that is likely to last up to 5 years, with mind numbing levels of taxation on workers and employers alike. The concept was started by some oddball called Ramsay MacDonald who was Prime Minister of a Labour minority government in 1924, but fortunately that bunch of losers only lasted for 9 months - phew! The second occasion that Ramsay MacDonald led a Labour Government between 1929 and 1931 conditions were so bad, it was called the Great Depression!
Yes, amazingly there's some bloke down our pub, who know's someone, who's friend's mother-in-law actually voted for this Labour Government - I know I didn't believe it either!

That Angela Rayner, I've heard she's a big Maggie Thatcher fan, being particularly impressed with Maggie's 1980 Housing Act, which enabled council house tenants to buy (and sell) their council house. Hang on, I hear Rayner has not only broken electoral law by saying she is registered as living at said council house, but is in fact living down the road with husband and kids. She has also failed to pay capital gains tax on the profit made when she sold the council house.
On well, good on her! Hold on a minute, what's her role in the current Labour government - Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government - NO !!!!! You've got to be pulling my plonker!

To give away land you own, and as part of the deal you pay the person or entity you're giving the land to a considerable sum of money.
Example 1: I'm giving away half my garden to my neighbour, and paying him £10,000. The wife's not too happy, but I'm calling it, my Chagos Deal!
Example 2: Have you heard, the UK government is giving the Chagos Islands to Mauritius! In addition, as part of the deal, they are paying the Mauritius government in excess of £9 billion!

The 2021 UK Census recorded that 2.7% of the UK population identified as being in a mixed race relationship. Further recent surveys have suggested that interracial couples make up 7% of relationships in England and Wales. However conversely, in "TV land" or more accurately television advertisements, 90% of the couples appearing in adverts appear to be in mixed race relationships.
I don't know what's going on, but I think there's something wrong with my new TV, every advert has mixed race couples in it. I tried adjusting the horizontal and vertical hold, but that didn't make any difference! So I phoned Curry's to complain, they said "not us, mate, you want the Advertising Standards Authority".
