Renton 18553 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 So, was just thinking, we have had some truly shocking speeches by high ranking tories in recent times. May: dancing queen, the cough, when the backdrop letters kept falling down. Johnson: Peppa pig land. Truss: cheese, pork markets, the blob. Mordaunt: stand up and fight Sunak: things can only get wetter. Tell me of any political satirist that could write better scripts than that lot. Funny thing is, the most bizarre and funniest of the lot was probably Mordaunts who could be their next leader if she survives. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 36785 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 The BBC's Henry Zeffman this morning trying to claim that Sunak speaking in the rain was somehow a brave decision which reflected his underlying message of leading in difficult times. apparently his team will be quite happy with that. Also it's difficult to hear speeches even without music playing so that didn't really matter either. It's gonna be a LONG old 6 weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 36785 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Ugghhhh the vox pops now. Straight to some market worker in Bury to talk about immigration: "The country can't take any more people!" Just fast forward us to polling day ffs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 31448 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 (edited) The BBC can keep saying it’s a close race tbh. Did wonders for motivating Labour/Khan voters in London to turnout. Their complete denial of the Tories consistently polling in the low 20% range for ages and the general mood of the British public is almost Orwellian at this point though. John Curtice is one of the few decent commentators they regularly have on there. They did a piece last night where they were in Blackpool. It interviewed two blokes who were saying they weren’t sure who they’d vote for this time out (only in terms of Sunak or Starmer). Presumably this was meant to be balanced but ffs, man. Anyone not sure this time round is almost certainly a dyed in the wool Tory. Especially as they didn’t mention having any issues with Starmer (as you’d expect if they were disillusioned Labour voters).

Gemmill 36785 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Sunak on the North East today apparently. Probably tonguing Houchen's hole. Be interesting to see if they try to keep pulling the strong arm security stuff that they've done with the Sky presenter yesterday, to keep Sunak insulated.

I would have thought the NE was a write off for them. Also after the mayorals Houchen could barely conceal his disgust at Sunak. Really local Labour should just play that clip on a loop where he admits to syphoning off funds for the NE to wealthy places in the South. That didn't get enough air time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6381 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 15 hours ago, Renton said: Aye, pure gaslighting as usual. "Fully funded 2.5% of GDP to defence" was one. In reality, it's an unfunded pledge not due to be reached until the GE after this one. Every fucking word from this weasel's mouth is a mistruth in one way or another. Speaking of mistruths, I was at a conference in London last week where one of the keynote speakers was Margaret Heffernen - professor of Practice at the University of Bath School of Management. Part of her speech focused on planning and in particular vaccine response to an endemic. Typically they're assymetric in that by the time you create a vaccine, the endemic has passed. One of the greatest questions she said she'd heard in business was from the head of one of the pharmaceutical firms who asked "When the next endemic hits, what would we wish we'd been doing right now?" On the back of this in 2017 he became part of the creation of a funding programme to focus on the creation of vaccines for 6 known issues. The sought and received funding from the Gates Foundation and multiple nations governments. The British government declined to contribute. One of the 6 issues was Coronaviruses and in her words "thank goodness it was given what hit just 3 years later." Her wrap up line was "so the next time you hear the Tories rattle on that they were behind the biggest vaccine programme of all time, know that it's absolute fanciful Westminster bullshit. They were against it until it became a political weapon!" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 18553 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 As suspected. Also nice to see what a true patriot is, focussing on destroying democracy in our former colony. What a fucking gimp. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
