Renton

But but Dianne Abbot....

Only 42 years to go now according to Rees Mogg.

I agre and that's another reason to support Starmer's approach in maximising Labour's votes and thereby decimating the tory party to an extent it is non-funactional. Should give breathing space to the generation of time that is needed to sort this mess out.

"Not knowing what a woman is" is a major policy now is it?

Listen to yourself in the post I quoted, theorising that Starmer was deliberately supporting a second referendum to depose of Corbyn. Is this what you seriously believe? Popularism, victimhood, and conspiracy theories are all linked. Corbyn is popularist in the loose sense of the word, they're not all right wing demigogues. He had his own cult which seems to have included you. Like all popularists eventually, he has been consigned to the dust bin of history, I just despair in the damage he comitted though the opportunity cost of a lost half decade of opposition when it most mattered. I would hope that at the very least you could recognise that under Starmer and Labour at least government wil return to a sense of competency and an end to overt corruption. I suspect not though.

Sorry, this is paranoid delusional nonsense. It just shows to me that those who follow populist leaders, no matter how otherwise intelligent, are completely blind to reality when it comes to them. Be that Johnson, Trump, or Corbyn.

EIther his correct name, fat cunt, or his given name, Alexander de'Pfeffel. Not his stage name implying he is some harmless cuddly buffoon.

FYP

Seems to be what has happened is, Sunak is not very bright and we know he can't think on his feet. For whatever reason he makes his "quip", having not absorbed the fact Esther Ghey was in the room. Like all current tories, his natural reaction is to double down and not apologise, so he doesn't, in parliament. But apparently Downing street were going to issue an apology afterwards but then Badenoch doubled down further and they were too gutless to row back on this. Sunak is a political feather weight. In the olden days, PMs served an apprenticeship before getting the top job. Most had 30 years as an MP, 20 years as a minister (or shadow),10 years in caninet, 5 years as one or more of the great offices of state. Sunak? Wasn't an MP until 2015. As Alex says, promoted to chancellor as a useful idiot for Cummings. PM by default after the Truss disaster. And things aren't much better for his predecessors. Although I think this applies to Labour as well, the Front Bench seem much more competent to me and I crucially I believe their motivation is different. They aren't in it for personal gain as much. WHatever you think of him, I believe Starmer is a fundamentally decent person. Since Johnson's purge of the conservative party, you can count decnet tories on one hand.

Don't think this is going away.

Jesus Christ. Sunak leading a conservative party political broadcast now. He's got a flip chart and felt tip pen, drawing charts, telling us why we're in the shit (solely covid and Ukraine, obs) . What a patronising bell end. The he addresses how he's succeeded in addressing his first pledge, halfing inflation. The pledge that had nothing to do with government. And that's it. Completely ignored his 4 other pledges.

New three word slogan for them“. “Deflect. Double down.“ Deflect. Double down. Deflect. Double down. Deflect. Double down. Deflect. Double down. Deflect. Double down. Deflect. Double down. Deflect. Double down. Deflect. Double down. Deflect. Double down. Deflect. Double down. Deflect. Double down. Deflect. Double down. Deflect. Double down.

Hoy man you watch Big Brother. I thought it was funny. Sue me

Anybody admit to watching Geordie Shore? Must admit this had me in stitches.

This thought comes to me listening to Badenoch and Brewer-Hartley.

Cheers. I see the semblance. 👍

Oh my, the next probable leader of the conservative party. Incredible.

Yeah, I partly chose to do Medicine at Liverpool because I had researched that it had the lowest proportion of private school educated students in that faculty. Even there though, in the late 80s, it was something like 55% of the intake. I guess I drifted towards the state educated clique, as we were in the minority. Like you, of course some of the private lot were sound but most really weren't. Hopefully its evened out a bit since then as Medicine has been seriously degraded as a career by the tories (so has law as it happens).

Oh wait, apparently according to the usual loonies, it was all a despicable ploy by Keir Hardy to score politcal points. Silly me. What an absolute weird Alice through the Looking Glass world some of us live in.

I am convinced the upper class genuinely do not give a fuck about those in "lower stations". By upper class I mean the Eton/WInchester brigade. And this of course includes the aristocracy and the royal family. No empathy, no thought, we're like insects to them. I actually learned this back in the day when Mrs Rents was a trainee barrister and I had to meet these fuckers at the traditional dinners you had to go to at the Inns of Court. I remember one dinner where they got some semi-famous singer at the time and he sang "Streets of London". They all loved that, apparently completely oblivious to the meaning of the lyrics, like Cameron liking "Eton Rifles" (although on reflection he probably did understand and like the lyrics). Afterwards I met some Duchess or other who asked where I was from. "Newcarsle? Oh, I've been there once, dreadful place". She then regaled me with a delightful story about how on the time she came up to Newcarsle, as the train was leaving Kings Cross, she remembered she had forgotten something, got the conductor to stop the train and reverse back into the station. Train was only an hour late apparently, no matter the inconvenience to hundreds of northerner plebs. And yet. A sizable proportion of people from our region still tug their forelocks and doff their caps for these fuckers. I wish we'd had a French style revolution and exterminated the fuckers personally.

Apart from the horrendous insensitivity and crassness of Sunak here, and his trademark refusal to apologise,what really actually upsets me here is the fact it is dog whistle politics like this that leads to murders like Brianna. He is the prime minister, the leader of the country, he knows this, and yet he still does this. As Alex said, whether or not Brianna's mother is present shouldn't make a difference. The way this lot of tories have debased everything this country stands for is truly sickening. And they call themselves patriots. I don't want them voted out. I want them to go extinct.

There were cheers behind and to the side of him. Crys of "shame" from in front of him. They are almost to a man/woman utter, utter cunts.

Unbelieveable this. I hope it gains some traction. It might considering the absolute horrific nature of the murder.
