Charlie StrossI am now having visions of a very displeased Liz Truss being ceremonially introduced to the ancient and honourable Yorkshire sport of ferret legging on the floor of the House.
Marty Party@cstross she would love it no doubt, as long as none of the ferrets are trans.
Dreadnought Holiday@martycoote @cstross what about when she learns of the non-zero possibility of ferrets applying a bit of ad hoc gender reassignment surgery?

Gary Parker@cstross and now I’m having flashbacks to someone putting them down Harry Gratian’s trousers many years ago 😀
Tony WellsTruss: Mr Speaker, the Right Honourable Shadow Minister for Puddings has put a ferret down his trousers, this is a gross breach of Parliamentary procedure.
Right Honourable Shadow Minister for Puddings: Oh, nowww you want some decorum in politics.

Michael Kohne@cstross I had to look it up and...WTF Yorkshire?

The Penguin of Evil@cstross I'd actually buy a TV licence to watch that 8)
