Politics Election 2019

[Raven]

It's all so exhausting. Some sort of Stockholm syndrome.

 

[Aoami]

PMQs a bit shit, all things considered.

If this is what finally sticks to this government, I'd be a bit annoyed given all the reprehensible shit they've done. A few staffers knocking back a few lines in the office at Christmas is bad of course, but even this story about Boris intervening in the Afghan evacuation that has been buried is worse than it imo.

It is cumulative.

If you think Boris is going to resign over this, you clearly haven't been paying attention since he entered politics.

No but someone else has:

Allegra Stratton resigns over No 10 Christmas party video

The tearful ex-journalist apologised, saying she would "regret the remarks for the rest of my days".

It's funny to think that she was national editor at ITV, and they were the ones that released that footage.

Aww poor her, she was caught laughing about it. She's only crying because of that, she clearly doesn't give a shit about what she did. Never mind that she did this:

Newsnight apology for Tower Hamlets employee

BBC Newsnight last week broadcast an on-air apology to a woman from Tower Hamlets after she was portrayed inaccurately by a report which appeared on…

She's also a friend of Carrie.

When sleaze bites the hand that feeds it.

It still stuns me the basic stupidity of so called intelligent people, but it really shouldn't by now.

They're not intelligent.

They're going for the populist nutter approach which means Boris surrounds himself with people that don't make him feel inferior or they can if they're an devout apostle of him.

Even Allegra Stratton describes herself as a 'Boris Tory' as if that has any actual meaning behind it other than him.

 

[BloodOmen]

I know... I'm convinced a Tory could come around to your house, shit in your cornflakes and still get re-elected because they waved a shiny shiny at the public.

Only because she knows her days are numbered at the bbc.

They are?

 

[Raven]

Tainted innit. She had been so far up Boris's arse for so long that she will have to go. She is a useless political correspondent, asks stupid, irrelevant questions, smirks a lot.

 

[Raven]

Boris, gone by next weekend. Which is a shame really because with him in charge there is absolutely no chance of the Tories winning the next GE.

 

[Ormorof]

I think election wise he might swing it in their favour, campaigning and the bullshitting it involves is what he is good at

Actually doing things not so much

 

[Raven]

I think the general mood of the people is that they are just fed up with all the bullshit, even die hard Tories like my mum are saying they won't vote Tory. They won't vote Labour either though...

 

[caLLous]

I saw this the other day, from The Telegraph of all sources...

 

[Rubber Bullets]

Oh, dear god, no....

Priti Patel Is Reportedly Considering A Run For Prime Minister

I'd like to see Alok Sharma as PM, just to see if his hosting of the COP was all bluster or if he might be a little bit green.

Obviously it'd be a gamble, but it's better than the other sure losses that we have as other options.

 

[Aoami]

It will be Rishi. More or less nailed on. Only serious contender will be Gove.

Bit of Indian sleaze to mix things up?

The rest of them are all complete wankers still, he would not be able to lead them.

More divide and conquer fun.

Human Rights Act: UK government unveils reform proposals

Measures include committing to stay within the European Convention - despite pressure from some Tories.

Plebs will look at people they hate and fully endorse their rights being taken away if they think it means those people they hate might be affected.

Then, like anti-vaxxers on their deathbeads, they'll wonder why the human rights act isn't there to protect them.

I believe the old 'Leopards eating your face party' internet trope applies here.
