brexit negging when yr mandate is is trash: or further chronicles of a garbage-fire

lol!

Boris: "There's a group of UK business people actually, I don't know whether you will have come across this, wonderful guys, who want to invest in Sirte on the coast, near where Gaddafi was actually captured and executed, as some of you may have seen.

They have a got brilliant vision to turn Sirte, with the help of the municipality of Sirte, into the next Dubai. The only thing they’ve got to do is clear the dead bodies.” [audience laughs]

Fuck me, he almost makes me want to join ISIS does that cunt.

(Thanks mark for the links, its been years since I've been acquainted with the history of that period)

One other reason why Johnson is possibly unsackable (and its what that quote alludes to as well) is that Trump seems to like him. A lot that unites them: they both have a lack of empathy, are clearly in it for themselves. I wonder what would his sacking do to any deals or relationships (ofc, according to Liam Fox, we'd still make 39 trade deals at one min past midnight after we left the EU so its no biggie if the US dropped out of it)

This whole thread (an account of a frige event) is hilarious btw:

And this is the money shot:

Sir Roger Scruton now complaining that young people don't see him as important any more. #CPC17

Fucking lol @ it's easier to hate than love

After going on abt how Corbyn's Lab rise is akin to the Nazi Party.

I can't believe why such an old shallow right wing aesthete with a face like a battered scrotum, would be so surprised that young people don't gaf about him!

Sir Roger Scrotum

lol! nominative scrotalism!

I hope you all know about SCRUTOPIA:

OMG he's excelled himself

i'd like to point out that i'm old and i've never seen him as important

he looks a fucking unholy genetic splice between Boris and John hurt's corpse, and yet he is always banging on the primacy of beauty like some fucking eugenicist nazi cunt.

Well yeah - any gathering of white supremacists proves the opposite so why should this kind of thing be any different?

LK back on her BS

Minister @DrPhillipLeeMP compares the NHS to a 'Ponzi scheme' - many might agree with him, but certainly a brave suggestion to make

— Laura Kuenssberg (@bbclaurak) October 2, 2017

it's the BBC that is the Ponzi scheme #cancelling license fee direct debit next month - deal with it!

Brave? FFS.

i can't really make sense of her tweet.

Jacob Rees-Mogg: "I loathe this idea that we have to give baubles to young people."

I think he means fidget-spinners.

calzino are you srs

jed i think she meant DISagree

Even May's absolutely risible concessions to "Corbyn's Marxism" - a shiny threpenny bit for students, and more assistance for people who can actually afford affordable homes, is just too much for Mogg.

ah yes, Tracer.

And yeah I will be cancelling my BBC db next month, but not because of fake Keunssberg outrage!

I'm cancelling all the fuckers because there won't be enough coming in to cover them:(

ayiyiyi

well radio's better anyway, you don't need a license fee for that

just say you've got a black and white telly.

i don't think the b&w discount exists any more :/

i'm wrong, it lives!

i don't understand how you can watch digital tv on a b&w set/

I'm gonna try the wholly untested "I illegally download most of my viewing stuff from torrent sites" defence. Might as well give as good as you get :p

haha

FYI there’s not much chance of getting busted for unlicensed TV after 6pm.

is it a happy coincidence that the Halifax has put up overdraft charges, the same month as the UC rollout?

This is where i have to do priv check, cos perhaps I'm lucky to even have an overdraft.

top tip, suzy

there's no reason to let them into your house. they will try bully boy tactics but if you tell them to bolt they've no recourse

(i actually didn't have my tv plugged into an aerial or sky or anything and had repeated letters and a guy buzzing up giving me aggro wanting to come in and check i didn't have a tv. told him to bolt and not ring the buzzer again).

I'd imagine these days most of the tv detector crews of the 90's, with the Thunderbirds style twirling but never actually twirl "tv sensors" on top of the van, are now mostly security guards or working in Foxes Biscuits.

the last time i opened the door to them i legit did not have a tv either. i said to the woman "i don't have a tv please come in" and she said that she didn't need to!

Theresa May will use her keynote speech at the Tory party conference to demand an end to infighting over Brexit and for the party to shift its focus from the job security of senior Tories to that of ordinary people. “Let us do our duty by Britain. Let us shape up and give the country the government it needs,” she will say.

Fuck me I can't believe someone signed off on this. It's the sort of thing football managers do when they're trying to restore order after a 4-0 defeat to Burnley.

"Let us shape up and deliver a Brexit like we do in training"

Don't even ~own~ a tv licence

xp Roy Hodgson 4 tory leader

Well, at least they aren't infighting over Europe any more.

May is going to pay lip service to "ordinary working people" again. Just a few weeks before making over 3 million of them £200 + a month poorer. They sure have some game do these Tories!

why not "working people"? why the insistence on "ordinariness"? does anyone identify as "ordinary"?

ordinary in the Tory/May context probs means "white"

i genuinely hadn't thought of that :(

also straight, Tory, no time for anybody who isn't
