bojo is king, brexit is on, stuff is fvcked, tomorrow starts here -- new govt new thread new battle

Everyone knows Johnson is bullshitting but they were voting for Brexit, racism and not having a cabbage-botherer in charge

funny how these dumbshits always forget george osbourne getting booed at the paralympics because atos had been condemning sick and disabled people to death for quite some time by 2012 innit

Top 5 greatest George Osborne moments:

1. Crying at Thatcher’s funeral
2. Getting booed at the Paralympics
3. Looking zoomed off his head on the front bench
4. Going to the Queen’s Irish reception and acting like he was Irish-Irish rather than Ascendancy
5. tbc

People might be tired of Why Things Are Like This threads but I found this one insightful

THREAD

A long thread about my own personal experiences during this election dealing with my Labour voting family deciding to out themselves as casual racists by voting Tory / Brexit Party in traditional Labour "Red Wall" heartlands

yeah, that’s really good (albeit depressing)

Jacobin has a piece on the post-2017 Remain movement and its failures

https://jacobinmag.com/2019/12/remainers-brexit-labour-party-jeremy-corbyn-boris-johnson

This tendency to hold Corbyn personally responsible, not only for Labour’s Brexit policy, but even for Brexit itself, encouraged Remain partisans to catastrophically underestimate their opponents’ strength. Time and again, spokesmen for Continuity Remain insisted that support for Brexit was collapsing, that the scales had fallen from people’s eyes and the outcome of a new referendum would be a foregone conclusion; only Corbyn and his “Brexiteer” advisers stood in the way. Yet the polls told a very different story: while Remain usually had a modest lead in opinion surveys, that was mainly thanks to people who hadn’t been eligible to vote in 2016 joining the electoral register. The Leave constituency itself hadn’t suffered any real attrition, and the outcome of a second vote was impossible to predict.

I imagine Rebecca Long-Bailey also has a middle name and prob. a confirmation name.

my full title is JLPo'D!

Rebecca Roseanne Long-Bailey

Benefit cheats could face up to 10 years in prison as part of the Crown Prosecution Service’s new “tough stance” on those flouting the system.

Keir Starmer QC, Britain's most senior prosecutor, said the £1.9 billion that benefit and tax fraudsters cost the taxpayer every year must now influence lawyers’ decisions on whether a prosecution was in the public interest.

Announcing new guidelines for the CPS, the Director of Public Prosecutions said suspects can now be charged under the Fraud Act, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.

In the past, benefit cheats have often been pursued under specific social security legislation which carries a maximum term of seven years.

A financial threshold which prevented benefit fraud cases of less than £20,000 from being sent to crown court will also be abolished, the CPS said.

Mr Starmer said: “It is a myth that 'getting one over on the system' is a victimless crime: the truth is we all pay the price”.

He added: “It is vital that we take a tough stance on this type of fraud and I am determined to see a clampdown on those who flout the system.“

Starmer is totally fucking cancelled.. worra cunt!

^^
that is from 2013

He’s an Arsenal season ticket holder as well.

as someone who committed benefits fraud many times in the 90's and just about every time a company I was at went into liquidation and I was in between f/t employment I say fuck off and die tory bryl-creem boy!

don't even want to see the oily creep in the shadow cabinet now.

it underlines how terrible most of the PLP are, some of the vilest fucking people only in the party by chance or there wasn't enough room in hell the conservative party.

Labour has its share of problem members, but these are mostly either thick as pigshit pseudo-lefty cranks or just plain old casual racists. But these people are active pro-Hitler neo-facist extremists ffs! Quite a story a here if our usually ever so vigilant Fourth Estate could wake up!

let the groundless slurs and character assignations begin.

Although really I'm not opposed to ruling with iron fist, because Corbyn was way too soft on these melt wreckers.

When I look back on my illustrious career of benefit fraud I was poor as fuck 90 odd % of the time. There was a period where I was signing on and earning £120 a day cash in the johnny rocket. But fuck you forever Starmer, for saying I deserve a 10 year sentence you piece of of Tory human garbage ..seriously!

He's basically Osborne but ended up in Labour because he's from a lower middle class background and with less "charisma". Complete fucking cunt.

he's like one of them bottom feeding fish that pretends to be dead to put off predators

but of course the current melt discourse is: has he got memorable slogans, message discipline etc.. etc.. that is the point where I just give up and say fuck you all tbh.

happy x-mas to all as well! The equal distribution of baby Yoda amongst the classes is meeting targets- so much to look forwards to:p

surely you aren't allowed to transport rotting cadavers in the passenger seat of a car?

xp lool!

gasp! some self deprecating humour from Swinson has just totally wrong-footed me tbh. I'm in shock!

that’s not self-deprecating humour, that’s a chilling reminder that her thirst for squirrel blood will never be quenched

We have a whippet around here with a blackboard tally for Russell Square squirrel kills.

swindon has a flip-chart covered in tally marks at lib dem hq iirc

A 27 yo British medical student performed a Nazi salute at horrified plane passengers.

He is heard telling another passenger: "Your job is to be the Ni***r of the world", "Sieg Heil!" and "Untermensch" (subhuman in German).

The world should know about this freak.

there has been a lot of incidents like this recently, no doubt related to having the most racist PM in decades. But we least we saved the UK from the anti-Semitic allotment man.

I would also suggest these are getting more 'retweets' and shares than previous

so not a spike in racist hate incidents you saying? I'd put money that statistics will later back up that there has indeed been a post-election spike. Just as there was when the US a elected a Klan man.

No, I'm not saying that.

(which is why I said 'also')

surely you aren't allowed to transport rotting cadavers in the passenger seat of a car?

im sure ive told the story about the lad from down home who was in his bollix going to pay the quoted price for his uncle to be shipped home from london post mortem, and went and got him, put him front seat in the escort and took him home on the ferry

lol.. how on earth could you. My mum used to take photos of corpses at open coffin funerals - I could never work out the motivation to do that!

the open coffin is a fuckin curse for sure, brr no thanks

51 years old and as far as I recall I've never seen a corpse irl

Lads ye are weak horses, I’ve never been to a closed-coffin funeral

only corpse i've seen is Lenin's iirc

appropriately enough

I saw my first corpse I was about 6 or 7 when a young boy from the traveler's site was pulled out of the lock, but this was from a safe distance. Once there was a suicide on the train tracks and the bizzies did a really shit job of cleaning up all the remains and quite a few from my estate were going on grim pilgrimages to them and poking this stuff with a stick and saying "woooy!!looks like summat I just had for my tea" etc..

Saw all the dead popes they have under the Vatican in the Necropolis in St Peters basilica.

So, the only corpses I have seen are all popes.

I'd drag every one of them papal cadavers out of that crypt and give them a piece of my mind for all the wrongs they've done!
