Note gleaned on my sabbatical

A little something for my election guide to include on my return, . The Lady Catherine de Burgh (talk) 20:20, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

Contested deletion

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because the subject has nothing to sell --Roxy, the dog. Esq. wooF 12:55, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

Oh, but he has so many things to sell, such as the NHS, and the British people down the river, and his own integrity for the sake of power, and so many more things. 213.205.192.249 (talk) 13:19, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

We Brits went down the river the moment Cameron gave Nasty Nigel a referendum. -Roxy, the dog. Esq. wooF 13:38, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

Deletion of the page isn't appropriate (thank you Gerda for removing the tag!) but having an imperative "Vote for Boris" prominently displayed at the top of your talkpage isn't appropriate either (it constitutes promotion of an individual, business, organization, group, or viewpoint unrelated to Misplaced Pages, which isn't permitted). The reasons are obvious; already it's creating a disruptive and divisive atmosphere on this very page. Lady CDB, I would ask politely that you remove the invitation to support the Conservative Party from your talkpage please; Misplaced Pages is not the place for political advocacy.

@Yunshui: agree with removing the spam; whether intended as a joke or nay, it's not sufficiently clear. ——SN54129 09:27, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

@Yunshui: Don't you realise who The Lady Catherine de Burgh really is? 213.205.192.249 (talk) 14:57, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

If only I could vote for Boris. --it'sGerda Arendt (talk) 15:02, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

• OH the excitement, one turns ones back for five minutes and up pop all manner of folk. Mr Johnson is a very dear, close and personal friend of mine, we are soul mates, the greatest thing to happen to this country since poor Mrs Thatcher left us. I'm afraid you can't vote ever for him Gerda because you are European, and he's not running (more's the pity) for Arbcom! Now that we are leaving Europe. Mr Johnson assures me that we are going to have 350 million, trillion pounds a day to spend on the National Health Service. Mind you, if they got rid of all the malingerers they could save the money and build new grandstands at all of Britain's race courses. Now, I've had a look at the check-user logs and it appears this ghastly IP is from Nottingham - enough said! Dreadful place, full of bandits and outlaws, just look at Robin Hood, he was from Nottingham, so we can discount him and get back to the serious business of the project - completing my informative Arbcom guide.

I think Boris Johnson is a complete and utter nincompoop. I suspect the real reason Lady Catherine supports him is she’s found the secret plans made by Jeremy Corbyn to demolish Scrotum Hall and build affordable social housing on it, which goes against the Lady’s policy of “for the few, not the many”. However, Lady Catherine, I think you are being unkind to Sherwood, which after all has elected Mark Spencer (named after the high quality foodstore, of course) and whose article states he thinks a man with learning difficulties who had been left without food or power after being sanctioned for arriving four minutes late at the benefit office should "learn the discipline of timekeeping". Surely that ties in exactly with your politics, doesn't it? Ritchie333 08:34, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

• Meh. I'd prefer voting for this guy. -Ad Orientem (talk) 19:06, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
• As, I’m sure, you all undoubtedly know, as a de jure peeress, in common with the insane and the criminally convicted, I have no democratic vote, so I am quite neutral. However, voting to leave Europe was plainly absurd and British agriculture will pay the heaviest cost for that stupid decision so a lot will stem from that in the land of once green and pleasant valleys, more than they now realise. So the British now we have a choice between anti-semetic Marxism and possibly remaining in Europe (probably not) or a proven liar and definitely leaving, but probably with the economy in tact. Fortunately, Catholic morality for either candidate does not apply, but all in all, it makes one quite glad to not have a vote, the responsibility would be far too onerous.The Lady Catherine de Burgh (talk) 22:21, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

Happy new era

So many Tories, so little time.....

So when are we going to see "A fool's guide to the 2022 Conservative Party leadership election"? Inquiring minds would like to know.... Ritchie333 10:35, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

Probably when old Michael "snake-hips" Gove get's round to it.... Martinevans123 (talk) 11:14, 10 July 2022 (UTC) p.s... or maybe he'll just "give it the finger" *

Oh! How sweet of you to think of me, I don’t believe anyone has contacted me since poor Benito died in 1945. Such a charming man, did you know him too? So misunderstood! Now what is it you want to discuss, my dear? I do charge for public comments. My nephew can send payment details if you care to enquire. I accept most credit cards, but cash is always nice if you have it. You see this is where the poor dear Philips at Montacute went so sadly wrong, they took their eye off the finances. Then, they let in that dreadful pompous Curzon man, with all his ‘sinning On a Tiger skin With Elinor Glyn? Or would you rather be Erring with her On some other fur?’ Well, it’s not good for people, they get hairs in their crevices and whatnots and they end up, wasting their time, on pages like this. So, young man, I suggest you get outside in the fresh air and go fishing or stalking and do something useful. The Lady Catherine de Burgh (talk) 20:48, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
