Really?

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

Yes there’s two different versions,so it’s no 1 and no 2 now

I heard there's a third version due out soon, about the end of the year, I think.
Land of Hope and Glory by Boris Johnson and The Cabinet. It's billed as a blues version.

This song came out in 1970.
One verse in the song in the song goes "What we need is a great big melting pot, to take the world and all its got, keep it stirring for 100 years or more and turn out coffee coloured people by the score."
That verse is very prophetic, according to the experts white people will be a minority by 2070, exactly 100 years after the song was written.
On the other hand, if all the nation faces is a small change in the national complexion, i don't see a problem.

You are mixing up a lot of different things there.

By the score?

They already are - in the world.
Surely that only applies to Britain (and possibly other countries) because of immigration.

It doesn't work like that.

Is Meghan coffee-coloured?
Is Archie coffee-coloured?

Do you see what happens after generations?

 

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

By the score?

=20

or a generic or indeterminate number, as in scores of people were there or
I've been there scores of times.

I think efl was referring to the meaning of score in the context of the song i posted.
They may have used the word score simply because it rhymes with the word "more".
Artistic licence i believe its called.

Don't know about Meghan and Archie but Harry looks like he has been decaffeinated by Meghan.

 

[EFLImpudence]

More than decaffeinated.

 

[ellal]

However, I won't argue that those long gone days were great for white people.

Actually just for a few white people...

But history it seems is about to repeat itself!

Poor guy is so busy, having to take charge of every department.

and yet, despite claiming to be in charge, Boris can always find an underling to blame for the government's omnishambles.

"The most senior civil servant at the Department for Education will leave his post as part of the fallout from the government’s handling of exams grading in England and the wearing of face masks in schools.

The decision came as Prime Minister Boris Johnson sought to distance himself from the secondary school results fiasco when he told students their grades had almost been “derailed by a mutant algorithm” that had revised down marks."

According to a new book it would appear that Corbyn was deliberayly not told about labour strategy during the election

Corbyn and Mcdonnel were not talking to one another due to a spat about Israelis

Corbyn insisted as he was party leader he should be td about strategy

Jeez us wept

Bigger bunch of buffoons than the tories

 

[JP_]

According to a new book

what book?

 

[transam]

Corbyn Insisted that the grass roots activists would win the day

Or in other words the bend ovet drop trousers and lube up brigade / activists

 

[transam]

what book?

Dunno some X party activist involved in the ele tion was talking about it on the radio

Jeez us wept

Corbyn is a bigger buffoon than Johnson or trump

Think extracts from said book are going to be serialised in some paper

that's the equivalent of "bloke down the pub said" or "I read it on the internet".

Not denying it, but without sources it means nothing. Did you catch an author name?
