Off topic, can we just take a moment to appreciate the art of the photographer that took this pic.
I was hoping for IDS to be beaten, mainly for his part in the design of Universal Credit but it looks as if his constituency is, to quote The Thick Of It, built on a solid bed of cunts.
I think shame is her kink. Have you heard the one about her slave collar necklace?
The correct demonym is Pakistani. Throughout the 1960s, 70s and 80s the terms 'Paki' and 'Stani' were exclusively used by racists and racist organisations such as the National Front and British Movement.
