I love how butthurt deplorables get about that balloon!

 

[KeithD]

More balloons. We need more balloons.

Poor Trumplethinskin.

The blimp is fine, pointless but fine.

Easy bait is easy.

All he caught was BusyBody. And look at the list of DUMS in this thread. Well played, well played.

We have a very divided nation right. Milk shakes always much better than bullets imho

Why sell ourselves short?

Throwing milkshakes is lame.

Well, it's the UK version of a molotov cocktail and is one step away from righteous indignation and calling someone a cad to their face, but that really would be going too far.

They tried the same in Canada over 10 years ago. Some gay rights activist threw a milkshake at Harper: he still got elected. Trudeau, however, won by "sunny ways" (and punching out a Conservative senator).

not all essex birds are as fake tanned and huge-browed, white-shoed, plastic-boobed and uneducated as the ones they love to take the piss out of on tv they tend to come from a very small geographical area and got a bit of tv exposure for a while. very weird-looking orange birds!
