Well Jeff&Jim could have asked one of their stewards to remove the picture.

Oh no, wait! They could remove it themselves. Both of them together, because it might be a bit heavy. Lucky the bad boys who did it left it at a convienant height on a park bench. And maybe they could get someone to photograph them doing it, just in case there is any misunderstanding.
Cynic!

Probably a fair enough assessment all the same, BR.

Fairly sure the Palace of Westminster has its own barber shop. I couldn't comment on what subsidies it may receive or whether they can bill directly to expense accounts.

Guess which two constituencies have only 1 and 2 women standing, which has an equal number of men and women and which has more women than men.

I'm going to say the first 2 contain the word Antrim, but not the town.

Spot on! Interestingly, next in line are Strangford and Upper Bann, with 3/9 each. However, West Belfast, with 4/13 actually has a smaller percentage than these.

I thought my constituency (S Belfast) had more weemin standing but on closer inspection, no.

However the weemin standing here are fine weemin, and I confidently predict that the majority of candidates returned here will be weemin.

Are we sure Jim Allister isn't identifying as a wonan, this election?

But as i am an equal opportunities voter, this will notbe a factor in my sequencing decision.
Was she standing at an ironing board?
Reminds me of the old joke,

Why do weemen have smaller feet than men?

so they can stand closer to the sink!


Or the Sean Lock one,

A woman's work is never done . . . . that's why they get paid less.
