Thread: Even Papillion couldn't be this stupid...

Bets its been going on in Inner City Labour for years, only in the last few has the electoral commision questioned it for fear of being called racist

Thanks for thinking of me Betty, but that sounds a lot like another stupid Brexiteer joke

They have until Friday to do it.

So, while she should resign because she's clearly fucking shit at her job, there is in fact legal recourse.
