ForenSix Opposition - Politics in the Soon To Be Former UK in Autumn 2020

Downing Street tried to get doses of the Oxford University coronavirus vaccine labelled with an image of the union jack, it has been reported.

No 10’s newly formed “Union unit”, which is tasked with combating calls for Scottish independence and other campaigns to break up the UK, had wanted injection kits to bear the flag, according to the Huffington Post.

Good job guys get your fleg all over the 'half dose first we think we're not sure why but it might work' vaccine that'll stop people voting for independence.

John Bull says take your English medicine

Union Unit? More like The Onion Unit.

(xp) Rebranded in Scotland as John Knox Says Take Your Protestant Medicine.

trumpet blast against the monstrous regiment of the uninocculated yadda yadda

thing is your Venn diagram of flag waving/wearing unionists and covid denying antivaxxers is basically a circle

the flag on the vials will be more of a minor annoyance to pragmatic indy voters than a fillip to the union

Pretty sure the SNP are rubbing their hands with glee at the advent of No. 10's Union Unit.

the Liberal Democrats's own Billiam Bragg to rerecord "There Is Power in a Union" for the occasion

aye it's the unit that keeps on giving xp

I mean it's in the title of their party - they shouldn't even need a "unit" lol! But of course so much they've done in the last decade and new labour before them has done the SNP's work for them!

Accept our deal..that we think we'll be..better off without..yeah

@Daily_Express
Boris Johnson orders Barnier to agree Australian-style pact or watch UK prosper in no deal

Politics - Trending

Laurence Fox

Trending with Katie Hopkins

So this is where we are. Absolute fucking arse end of 2020 and this no mark actor turned no mark politician Lolz Fox is trending for expecting the NHS to be able to upscale to accommodate covid parties with Kate fucking Hopkins or some shit. I don't even know. How the fuck did we come to this?

The funniest gossip I read this weekend was that allegedly at Pride 2019, a very pissed up Angela Rayner was loudly telling anyone that would listen that she would soon enough be the new leader of the Labour Party.

She should have stabbed her roomie in the back and run ;)

she didn't need to, no weather forecast was required to see which way the wind was blowing!

Kieth would never be very pissed up at Pride

yeah, I did actually used to like Angela until I got a better sense of her politics.

I still think her politics are sound, but she's in an unfortunate bind of her own making

The 'bind' must itself be 'her politics'.

She's been elected as Deputy Leader of the Labour Party. She can choose what she says. She chooses to say things that are mendacious and poisonous.

That's now her politics.

correct. as England's foremost novelist Tom Watson has pointed out, the deputy is pretty much free to conduct their own line

I guess the bind is lack of backbone, ultimately. Alas

i suspect it is just simple opportunism

I can't cope with reality any more, how can the EHRC commissioner in charge of the labour investigation be a 'can't say anything cos of the woke stasi' type racist and an actual fucking Whig, in the 21st century, a fucking Whig https://t.co/tdCtLUA5rO

lol the EHRC person who led the Labour inquiry not only liked a post defending Scruton's anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, he stood as Whig candidate in 2015 .. lol wtf!

The Whig Party is sitting out the current situation in British politics. Brexit is a mess and the Tories are a shambolic government. We believe that there is a place for a socially liberal and economically literate party that stands up for progress, intelligence, and decency. But we don’t think we will make much impact right now. We chose not to stand any candidates at the 2017 General Election, and we expect not to stand any before 2022. Because next time we run, we’re running to win.

fucking incredible (nb it is not fucking incredible) that there are grown adults out there LARPing politics

that pretender Lolico will have to hold his beer now

I hope he's talking about the Morning Star. There aren't many other candidates.

to people of his ilk the Graun is still a left wing newspaper.

Windmill tilting in the right direction on this bullshit. Weird how I thought the Children's Act was supposed to protect human rights

The report is here:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/dec/01/children-who-want-puberty-blockers-must-understand-effects-high-court-rules

i wonder why this is different to the many other long term decisions children are able to give informed consent to

God there are a lot of Tories against stopping coronavirus

The constant use of Keith instead of Keir seems a bit like that underlying racism where all the difficult or foreign sounding names should be anglicised. Literally every time I see it, that's the first thing I think of. It's disappointing.

— Liam Parker (@e_Liam_) December 1, 2020

are Keirs of the factory running classes a race now? lol!

Keir is difficult to spell seemingly, but foreign?

Scotch bastids

Keith is as foreign as Keir you plank.
