(satire?)
Conservative party chairman Grant Shapps has responded to criticism of his ‘condescending’ bingo and beer poster by saying he loves digging holes just as much as he likes beer and bingo.
In an interview with BBC Radio Cumbria, Mr Shapps said he had no regrets about the poster because he loved digging – just like “hardworking people” – especially when he is in a really, really deep hole:
“I love nothing more than to just keep on digging. I can’t stop, especially when I’m actually in a hole itself. Just like all those salt-of-the-earth, working class people I see through my car window who like to dig holes in the side of the road for a living just before they knock off for the day and stop off for pie, chips and mushy peas and a nice pint down the local pub on their way to a game of bingo.“
However, despite Mr Shapps saying he was proud of his graphic praising the the budget – which delivered a tax cut for the bingo industry and took a penny off beer duty – experts disagree on whether the amount of rope Mr Shapps has given himself is anywhere near long enough yet for all reasonable intents and purposes.

Pride's Purge 
Grunt Shitts is, most amusingly, trying to convince the plebs that he really does love beer and bingo. I wonder when he last went ‘down the Mecca’ with his set of bingo-dabbers for a few cards of housy-housy and a pint of Old Scrotum?

Was that Shapps or Schnapps (-1p, of course)? He’s cosying up to Farage with cheaper pints. The signs are all there.

Well he might think he is cosying up to Farage but he has no chance of doing it. When you are in a hole the first rule as any real hardworking person will tell you is to stop digging. schnapps hasn’t grasped the concept that to keep digging makes a bigger and deeper hole.

Shapps and co were already hung when they had to bow to a hung parliament.
If the northern hole diggers were paid more they could eat caviar like mps who are given money for old rope.
