Hypocrite? Moi? Pulling up the drawbridge after her. The fucking cheek of Cruella.

 

 

A Nastier version of Patel which is saying something.

Ok, we get it, Security Risk Suella!

 

When we couldn't do what we wanted on immigration and borders, we blamed Europe. (And then fucked off out of it).

When COVID came to our shores, it was all China's fault. Or Europe's fault. Or any other country in between who didn't stop it. 

When the Taliban rode into Kabul, it was their fault. We weren't caught with our pants down, no sir-ee!

When the Truss Budget was introduced, it was absolutely the right decision - blast and damn the Treasury, the financial markets and the Bank of England.

 

Now we can do what we want with immigration and borders. Oh wait? What? There are supranational rules, rules which in large part were written by your glorious British predecessors. Well, we shall just have to fuck off out of those, won't we?

 

And while you are trashing our glorious history and principles, the very things our valiant forces fought and died for, maybe you'd like to take some time to look in the mirror and ask yourself - "am I really this racist, homophobic, misogynist, self loathing creature who dreams of people being deported to Africa?"

 

Or maybe take a leaf out of Ashok Sharma's book, and fuck off to obscurity.

I was looking forward to not voting for him.  Well, I suppose I'll still not be voting for him.  Trouble is now I don't know who to cast my tactical vote for .

What an absolute melt

The HS2 is "woke" apparently

Looks at this stage, with perhaps a year until the next election that the currant bun will be sticking with the Tories. Interesting. Normally it conveniently gravitates towards the "winning" side.

[YoungWillz 21,028]

Watched the Question Time tonight.

 

I have seen that vacant look from a government politician before. The hopelessness, the despair, defending the indefensible.

 

Quick summary:

 

Knife crime: various solutions offered by the people, and by the politicians. The Tory: Sadiq Khan's to blame, vote Tory for your next London Mayor.

 

HS2: Some mixed reaction from the Manchester crowd. Obvs we don't know what the thinking is, this is exactly what Blair did - float an idea and see how it lands. The Tory: You'd expect the Government to review the costs and look at how we are spending taxpayers' money. The crowd: Many nodding, suggesting the money could be better spent on council housing, new and improved hospitals and schools and social care.

(I'll tell you what The Tory really means, because I can see it coming. "Jesus, our mates have been on a go slow because it's a Government contract. We've been found out, or are about to be found out. That money will never be spent on council housing, etc etc - that's never a priority for the Government. That money could go to tax cuts - remember a penny off income tax for the poor and millions and billions off the wealthiest by inheritance tax and shares tax cuts, and holding Corporation Tax down a bit".).

 

Has multiculturism failed? A bit more clarity at fucking last from nearly everybody who makes sense. The Tory's pal: Our party has failed miserably. The others: Set out the difference between legal migration, asylum and illegal immigration. The Tory: Security Risk Suella is right, we can't have open doors to everybody who wants to come here. In no way is she a racist, homophobic, misogynist. The crowd: Laughed him out of the room.

 

I guess The Tory will be looking for a job after the next election.

Also, any bets on Sunak's entrance music at conference?

 

He could come on dancing, like that Tezza May.

 

I'll suggest What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted by Colin Blunstone.

Under Pressure - Queen & David Bowie

[TQR 14,385]

Just a timely reminder that last year Liz Trussterfuck pranced on to the sound of M People's Moving On Up, with the opening lyrics:

 

You've done me wrong, your time is up
You took a sip from the devil's cup
You broke my heart, there's no way back
Move right out of here, baby, go on pack your bags

Just who do you think you are?
Stop actin' like some kind of star
Just who do you think you are?
Take it like a man, baby, if that's what you are

 

As if those lyrics weren't perfect enough, Heather Small off of M People is of course a prominent campaigner against Leaky Sue's sickening Rwanda policy, and the mother of a Labour councillor.

I think they know which way the election is going so he may as well have Beck - Loser.

I know this thread is for UK politics in general; however, I heard my first Trump for President 2024 advert on the radio a couple days ago.  Let the games begin. 

[YoungWillz 21,028]

Rishi Sunak quoting Margaret Thatcher.

 

Michael Gove talking about tax cuts.

 

Grant Shapps talking about sending British troops into Ukraine.

 

You know, anyone would think there was an election coming up...

[YoungWillz 21,028]

Highlights from Conference so far:

 

Grant Shapps - it makes me entirely happy to send British troops into a war zone. The Falklands won us the 1983 election, and that is what we shall do.

 

James Misnomer Cleverly: A global pandemic and a terrible war in Ukraine are to blame for everything! Labour are shite. we are less shite, vote for meeeee!
