It's almost as if they shouldn't have spent years delaying the move-out for renovation works
Even the sky is pissed at these morons
I feel like there's a metaphor here that I'm not smart enough to connect.
so is this what people mean when they say "trickle down economics"
"No photographs please" he says, while being recorded by a video camera.
They've known the roof was liable to fall on their heads for months but refused to do anything about it until it already happened and, months it's happened, they're all scattering to the winds as it falls to the people to fix the problem they refused to. (Its a brexit metaphor)
MPs aren't supposed to take photographs at any time under Commons rules, though selfies are pretty common anyway these days
"Shortly before 3pm, parliament began its own fight back. Fed up with the incompetence of its occupants, the building itself turned on the Commons chamber, pouring water in through the ceiling. To the whole country’s relief, proceedings were adjourned for the day."
If there's one thing you can thank brexit for its keep political pundits busy, this is John Crace writing for the Guardian and he's never been busier.
its a pretty good metaphor of britain, too dysfunctional to repair its own roof, but insisting its perfectly capable of fully replacing all of its EU economic ties in short order.
We have an update. It is now known what caused the leaking.

Who is Uri Geller?
He's a hack psychic from Israel, probably most known for taking The Pokemon Company to court over the Pokemon Kadabra.
Wonder if we can charge him for destruction of property
Friendly reminder that Uri Geller is currently doing a Goku and is building some kind of anti brexit spirit bomb to try and force a second referendum.
"Now he wants Britons to join him in twice-daily bursts of telepathy directed at the Conservative leader, in the hope of inspiring her to call a second Brexit referendum."
Everyone give him your energy
Is he going to die a couple times too?
but for the spirit bomb to work there has to be life in britain which we all know is not true.
He'll need the help of the worlds best martial artist first!
