Politics Election 2019

[ECA]

Oof.

Wat?

It's more like with everything going on in the world who gives a shit about climate change.

The way Mordaunt is going on about Liz not being present, are they working an angle that she's almost incapacitated, medically unfit to carry out get duties which means...

So separate party. Scottish greens work in collaboration with the Green Party - which campaigns in England and Wales.

Either way - their main talking point is the Environment. Clearly.

Being realistic, going from the high of becoming PM to abject failure in ability, in a matter of weeks will break anyone.

 

[caLLous]

How fucking dare she waltz in with a smirk on her face as soon as the UQ comes to a close.

No U-turn from Jeremy Hunt on scrapping bankers’ bonus cap

New chancellor made no mention of policy in economic update but Treasury sources confirm he will go ahead with controversial move

[Raven]

I'm watching it with a 30odd minute delay. Truss has just turned up, she looks absolutely broken. Good.

 

[Raven]

Word is, gone in the morning.

 

[Embattle]

Anyway @Embattle - conservatives still predicted to get more than 24% of the vote. What the fuck do they need to do for the electorate to abandon them?

Greens expected to still get fuck all

I'm not surprised, it is the same type of people who voted for her in the leader election.

 

[Tom]

She was meeting with Graham Brady. Who was probably telling her she's fucked.

They're always crowing about having female PMs. Interesting that they'll have thrown all three out. Not the electorate - the party.

Ties in to what I posted - "look at the white guy". "He's not a woman, or black".

 

[Aoami]

From?

 

[Raven]

From?

Lots of talking heads. But mostly people that called Cunt making a comeback before it happened.

She genuinely looks as though she has had a dose of something to get her through today.

Havn't seen anything of the sort from anybody yet.
Still only at 4 publicly declared MPs saying they put a letter in.

 

[caLLous]

Four and a half, including Charles Walker.



He did everything except outright say she has to go but that she should resign and if she doesn't then...

 

[caLLous]

Phwoar...

 

[Aoami]

I have it on good authority that Truss & Kwarteng are an item which is why Truss' family haven't moved into no. 10.

 

[Gwadien]

I have it on good authority that Liz Truss is actually Sacha Baron Cohen.

They do live right next door to each other in Greenwich... Also, this was doing the rounds ages ago, saying he was banging Truss and Amber Rudd (not at the same time presumably ). Might be total bullshit but it was supposed to be a list of all the dirty little secrets the whips could use to coerce Tory MPs into voting for stuff.

It's a bit shit when you look at it objectively - "he / she had sex with him /her" . Basically, humans acting normally. But we're keeping lists because other humans are full of moral judgement (whilst doing the same themselves).

He was publicly dating Amber Rudd I believe. The Kwarteng/Truss romance is supposedly still going, Truss' husband is aware and they're separated. Feels like basically everyone in politics is up to something they shouldn't be.

Yeah, but it doesn't make them unsuitable to run a country tbh:



It's so common it's pretty much tittle-tattle gossip. The only way it's compromising is if they stand to lose they can be blackmailed. But that goes for captains of industry as much as politicians. And should we really be holding people to a higher moral standard than average joe?

 

[Aoami]

Does it ever cross your mind that you could just keep your shit opinions to yourself for once?

Oh yeah, so public it's in the personal life section of his wiki. That list above was first unearthed in 2017 though so maybe it wasn't common knowledge at the time. 🤷‍♂️

Does it ever cross your mind that maybe you should take your own advice?

Yes elected politicians should be held at a higher moral standard than average joe, abso-fucking-lutely.

Your average joe can be sacked for having a relationship with a subordinate, the PM is kinda like the tippiest toppiest top job, no?

Even rupe aint feeling it.

Who's the arbiter of what a "moral standard" is?

I think we've overstepped the mark with average joe getting sacked for a relationship with a subordinate just because it might be abusive because of an "imbalance" - when the vast majority of people who got together at work were absolutely fine.

When it comes to sexuality - they should be as free as anyone else. It's a bit catholic / christian / god-fairy to impose your morality on someone else's life? Do we want a priesthood to rule us?

I think absolutely we are living in a "new puritanism". The French, bless 'em, wouldn't hold truck with any of this shit - the French have affairs like it's a national sport.


I don't cheat myself so I've no skin in this. I've been on the receiving end, and it sucks - so you think I'd be bitter, but I'm not. I think it's hypocritical to hold other people to a higher standard than we're prepared to accept in our own social lives. In criminal life though - zero tolerance. None whatsoever.

It's obvious trolling don't bother with it. It's like peak Toht recently.
