Politics General Election 2017

[dysfunction]

Amber Rudd has resigned! Woohoo!!

Amber Rudd resigns as home secretary after Windrush scandal

 

[caLLous]

No doubt pushed out by May because she's just that much of a cunt.

 

[Job]

I totally agree..but its only Jamaicans who are being given the benefit of the doubt.
This has to apply to everyone or no one.

 

[Rubber Bullets]

So rumours have started of another snap election

Tory MPs Braced For Snap Election Amid Brexit Splits - Reports

I know the tories are in disarray but is it sensible to do this with just months left in our negotiations with Europe? May is a dead duck, but Corbyn has had his time, and is now losing support and credibility. I can't see the country gaining anything at all from this, with the real possibility that government will be thrown into even more chaos.

 

[Wij]

Both major parties are fucking useless at the moment. Neither should be trusted to run the country. Worst I’ve ever seen.

 

[Job]

I have an uneasy feeling about Brexit which is causing a backlash from the left which has echoes of 1930s politics.
They are extending thought crime into the real world...yes we have fake news...always have, but now they need to 'protect' people from it.

Democracy is at risk due to fake news and data misuse, MPs to conclude

 

[caLLous]

Foreign matters are in safe hands...

 

[Job]

Cmon man..its easy..which way do her eyes go.

I do love how when the Tories look like they are in trouble on issues related Europe it seems Labour join them right afterwards on antisemitism, something they really should of managed to put behind them by now.

You know if there was a general election tomorrow, I would be unsure who would win.

Honestly, I think the Israel lobby won't let it go. The four examples that Labour haven't adopted are already being used to chill criticism of Israel elsewhere, so I can understand why they've been reluctant.

I think there's 250-odd members being investigated for antisemitism or something. Out of, what, half a million?

I reckon they've drawn a line in the sand - Labour want to be able to freely criticise Israel if they do get into power and those four things will make it difficult without accusations of antisemitism in government. Which is why the stories will never go away.

They say the US government is in-hoc to the Israel lobby. I think ours is under a lot of pressure too.


At the same time, I don't think that there's not an antisemitism problem in Labour. But I also think it's probably the same in the other parties too.

 

[Gwadien]

If Corbyn came out and said 'Look, we're anti-Israel, not anti-Semitic' it would cause such a cool debate where Labour could possibly gain lots of popularity.

But nah, Corbyn is doing fuck all

 

[Embattle]

However the issue keeps coming up for exactly the opposite reason, he has generally said very little on this issue.....or anything else it seems.

 

[Ormorof]

Seems like there hasnt been a peep out of him in months, is he even alive?

 

[Job]

You cant say fuck all when it comes to jews...unless you say they are the greatest people on the planet, you just have to keep your mouth shut...which of course is the road to the second holocaust.

No. You just can't criticise them for being Jews.

Just like you can't criticise black people for being black or muslims for being muslims.

All of which you do - which makes you a bigotted racist cunt.

 

[Wij]

Unfortunately yes.

 

[Scouse]

Unfortunately yes.

Surely he can't do a worse job than May?

Just out of interest - who'd you have in govt. then? I can't think of a single rational leader atm.

Vince Cable would be miles better than May or Corbyn.

 

[Bodhi]

Of the current lot - probably Sajid Javid. Not the most inspiring choice, but then look at the competition.

 

[BloodOmen]

Vince Cable would be miles better than May or Corbyn.

To be fair a lump of dogshit that's been stepped in would be better than May.

Sure he can, it'll be why I'm unable to vote Labour at the moment.

Obviously theres a complete media blackout..considering the enormity of brexit, we see the PM about once a week for a wave.
Im still confident the whole thing will get kicked into the even longer grass.

Not because of some big conspiracy by a secret cabal of ultra powerful remainers though. It will be because there's no Brexit option available that could get a decent amount of support in both the parliament and the public opinion.

No deal is suicide.

Hard Brexit is terrible for the economy and breaches the EU's red line on the Irish border so would just lead to no deal.

Chequers breaches the EU's red line on not cherry picking the single market so isn't available.

EEA is available but would be seen as not a real Brexit by the Brexit ultras and would be seen as pointless by the public because we might as well stay in the EU where we can have more influence over the rules.

Nothing will get the support of anywhere near half of MPs and half the country.

 

[Job]

We will have jack shit influence if we do anything but hard brexit.
A Britain back in the EU would be the laughing stock of Brussels.

Which bit of 'hard brexit isn't an option' did you miss?

 

[Embattle]

Just another example of the greatness of MP Keith Vaz - Keith Vaz ‘bullied Commons clerk who queried trip expenses'

 

[Scouse]

Been at it again @Job?

It was a printed list..print another one and lock the case.

Who are you to decide what is and isn't art?

 

[Job]

I think the missing 'art' is an even more powerful statement.
It was in alphabetical order I hear, 4/5ths of it came under M.
