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

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

Rees-Mogg hates the 'ordinary people' line claiming there's no such thing. Johnson would probably say the same at this point. Neither of these people are actually real however.

lol "ordinary working-class people" was who SWP-founder tony cliff routinely invoked (as the social group the SWP should always put first in their thinking): given JC's association w/same, this is clearly more real prime minister pennycorbs at work in their brains

if there's one thing the current cabinet of inbred mutants, dead-eyed race realists and corporate ken dolls understand it's britons' everyday lives

Well, "ordinary working people", no class mentioned, they've obviously realized that "working families" excludes an awful lot of people who didn't vote Tory at the last election. Or maybe not, they are thick as pigshit after all.

sorry, hard working families.

What fresh hell was that intro music for Tresemmé?

Am reading it was 'you've got the love'? *barfs*

FATM version naturally

incidentally the kuenssberg tweet makes most sense if you assume that she's left unspoken the usual fact (and journalistic cliche), that the NHS is extremely popular

thus: so-and-so "compares the NHS to a Ponzi scheme -- even though many might agree with him, given its general popularity this is certainly a brave suggestion to make"

as the poor crafting of this tweet demonstrates, the reason kuenssberg shouldn't have the job is that she's bad at it, not that she's secretly a tory

unsurprisingly (given the general status quo timidity of the profession) brave is basically cliche journalese for "foolhardy" -- a word she will be congratulating herself for not saying, bcz she codedly got in some (very mild, somewhat ambiguous) editorialising against an outlier tory etc etc

re crafting: this^^^post reads better if you move the third sentence to the end :D

May says she wants to make a difference for people whose voices are not heard.

Like the families of the 96 people killed at Hillsborough.

Or the victims and survivors of sexual abuse.

Or Alexander Paul, a young black man who spoke at conference three years ago about continually being stopped by police.

She says she took action. The number of black people being stopped and searched has fallen by two thirds.

She says Paul was diagnosed with brain cancer and died in June. Let us remember his courage in speaking out, she says.

great anecdote

feel-good story

"unfortunately paul is dead now - it's too late for him, but at least he will never be stopped and searched again - much like many other black men who have not died."

HOLY SHIT some heckler just gave her a P45 ‘from Boris’

It’s all kicking off!

"Ordinary working people" as a right-wing meme predates the rise of Corbs though; Charlie Brooker did an edit of Cameron (and Milliband) using the phrase to death during that election campaign (with "working" bleeped out so it seemed like they were saying "fucking" - what can I say, I loled).

The Hillsborough families got their chance to have their voices heard, at the very point that those responsible were long retired or dead. There will be a similar wait for the Grenfell families, doubtless. Voices will be heard, but there will be a similar wait until the people responsible etc.

"I was about to talk about somebody I'd like to give a P45 to, and that's Jeremy Corbyn," Mrs May continues. The crowd love it.

Sharp as a Mars Bar, isn't she?

lol

Wouldn't she have to give Jeremy Corbyn a job first, though?

OMG she can’t stop coughing!

that p45 in full

oh dear ... looks like someone's handed Theresa May a P45

It was prankster 'Lee Nelson' who interrupted PM

ban comedians

the crowd all loving her now, because upstart oiks get them roiled

ach maybe it won't play badly. but really, was there any need

There’s footage of Amber Rudd basically telling Boris Johnson STAND THE FUCK UP doing the rounds!

Smart of Lee Nelson to dress like a younger version of May's husband. No wonder she got thrown off.

Lol @ pol spinning this as if it was planned!! Doesn't matter..

Theresa May has made comedians do good things plz retire

it seems the consensus is that this has embarrassed may more than the left. well done lee nelson, still a wanker tho

he's probably a centrist dad eh folks

I just learned his real name is not Lee Nelson.

It's Graham Coxson

alright, it isn't really...

post-jail and via occupy, "murdoch foam pie attacker jonnie marbles" (©BBC) ended up waaaaay on the "novara's a reactionary sellout" anarcho-left -- at least if you judge him by his twitter friendships

The photo is beautiful: The angle captures P45 in big letters.

Love her humiliation.

especially as I can't spell Graham Coxon from Blur's name properly when typing quickly. (xposts)

"The British Dream"

Lol @ ppl feeling sorry for this sack of shit

One of the letters has now fallen off the wall behind her.

Affordable housing, there is a radical idea.

Sadly not the O in 'country'.
