I'm just reminding myself that wishing death upon Starmer is not just for Christmas, but for all days of the year and every single member of his shadow cabinet are bastards and fuck the centre-right hollowed out husk that is the Labour Party forevermore as well. And ho ho ho merry Christmas to all!

Bless you Calz! Happy Christmas!

Ho ho to all!

And it's a ho ho ho from Desmond Swayne:

“We have earned the right to be treated like adults: to make our own assessment of the risks we are prepared to take and the sensible precautions that we apply. People are fed up with being ordered what not to do.”

Looking forward to further death and destruction in 2022!

And what can you personally learn from this Keir? Maybe not flag waving appeasement of your mythical red wall voters? Maybe not staying silent on what you deem “culture war” issues which is definitely siding with oppressors https://t.co/wemC4TYUTa

Can you imagine what this cunt would have been saying about Mandela during apartheid?

But you know as well as I do that, somehow, the Israeli government is placed on a pedestal [in the US], and to criticise it is to be immediately dubbed anti-semitic, as if the Palestinians were not semitic. I am not even anti-white, despite the madness of that group. And how did it come about that Israel was collaborating with the apartheid government on security measures?

People are scared in this country [the US], to say wrong is wrong because the Jewish lobby is powerful - very powerful. Well, so what? For goodness sake, this is God's world! We live in a moral universe. The apartheid government was very powerful, but today it no longer exists. Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Pinochet, Milosevic, and Idi Amin were all powerful, but in the end they bit the dust.

the pinefox, Sunday, 26 December 2021 11:34 (two years ago) link

his party "comrade" dame Margaret Hodge, who he paid glowing tributes to recently, made a considerable amount of her wealth doing business with the apartheid regime. Boilerplate obits from insincere slimeball pols always sound shit but Kieth is especially bad at this.

What happened to that guy?

I Can't See Gervais In My Mind (Tom D.), Sunday, 26 December 2021 12:10 (two years ago) link

when he came out as a Cameron groupie it was all downhill from there.

calzino, Sunday, 26 December 2021 12:14 (two years ago) link

How’s he going to do at the FT where you actually need to be telling people what’s going on?

Once again reminding you that Stevie B was never old enough to vote for Blair and my God does he adore him

mardheamac (gyac), Sunday, 26 December 2021 12:41 (two years ago) link

both Cameron and Blair (stephen's two major crushes) are both 6ft + tall, poor Kieth is fucked lol

calzino, Sunday, 26 December 2021 12:50 (two years ago) link

I’m trying to be less ruled by my id in the new year so you’ll just have to fill in the blank of what I wish upon these good people 🤗🤗🤗

Imagine praising the Tories for ultra low interest rates -- which are a device used by central banks in all major economies as a consequence of the financial crash -- and that will have to rise again next year to keep inflation to 5%.

xyzzzz__, Sunday, 26 December 2021 13:15 (two years ago) link

Not only are the priorities wrong but also lots of really stupid, minor stuff like annuity freedom lol.

xyzzzz__, Sunday, 26 December 2021 13:17 (two years ago) link

what could be positive about a decade of austerity driven death and despair ... oh oh me sir.. low interest rates!

calzino, Sunday, 26 December 2021 13:17 (two years ago) link

Given that he hangs around Starmer and will probably act as some kind of advisor I am expecting a really weird campaign.

Gay marriage was 2013

Is Boris going away then?

Never changed username before (cardamon), Sunday, 26 December 2021 21:20 (two years ago) link

probably not, they know he can win elections and if the best other candidates they can come up are Jeremy Cunt or Liz Truss or the pencil-necked Super Rishi then I reckon they will hold fire on him and rough it out. They are only up against Kieth ffs!

calzino, Sunday, 26 December 2021 21:35 (two years ago) link

Sunak is a shoo-in, no way they're picking Truss.

I Can't See Gervais In My Mind (Tom D.), Sunday, 26 December 2021 21:37 (two years ago) link

she's extremely popular with the membership and lol is going for an Iron Lady image reboot now. Just don't mention the cheese.

calzino, Sunday, 26 December 2021 21:40 (two years ago) link

I could imagine Kieth running a racist dog whistle campaign against Rishi. He's got nothing to lose after already alienating 99% of the non-tory voting Asian community.

calzino, Sunday, 26 December 2021 21:42 (two years ago) link

I think Truss is far more popular with the membership than she’ll ever be with the general public.

mardheamac (gyac), Sunday, 26 December 2021 21:51 (two years ago) link

yeah definitely but there still seems to be a concerted effort to make her happen and she might have a few powerful supporters, but ultimately the real power brokers at the top of the party will consider her a disaster in the making.

calzino, Sunday, 26 December 2021 21:57 (two years ago) link

Well, that's just it: they suspected as much with Boris but thought they'd run with it. Won't do that again...

Mark G, Sunday, 26 December 2021 23:16 (two years ago) link

Does anyone care whether Johnson goes or not? Elections are an exercise in nothing changing till the world burns.

xyzzzz__, Sunday, 26 December 2021 23:22 (two years ago) link

Yeah, I want him out on his arse and humiliated.

I Can't See Gervais In My Mind (Tom D.), Sunday, 26 December 2021 23:24 (two years ago) link

I mean, he won't be humiliated but one lives in hope

I Can't See Gervais In My Mind (Tom D.), Sunday, 26 December 2021 23:25 (two years ago) link

Lol no, he'll make a shit ton of money in the dinner for rich people circuit, 'write' some books as the PM who got Brexit done and who mobilised the nation at a time of national emergency, he'll play Churchill with a clowny twist, etc. He has achieved everything as it is.

xyzzzz__, Sunday, 26 December 2021 23:32 (two years ago) link

Cameron's "humiliation" was fun for about ten minutes and then all this happened and he made a tidy £7m through Greensill corruption, appointed to the board of Afiniti and a lucrative book deal. I don't even care who wins the next election tbh and I used to admonish my mum for saying "they are all the fucken same!"

calzino, Sunday, 26 December 2021 23:46 (two years ago) link

you can't humiliate someone who has no shame, it's the same reason why clips of Farage being "owned" are a waste of time, nothing you can say or do can embarass these people

boxedjoy, Monday, 27 December 2021 01:10 (two years ago) link

They just go "no, I didn't" and everyone around them goes " See, he didn't" and move on..

The Robert Colvile one who says, in that tweet, 'Restrictions on immigration', is the one who badly mocked Novara names and then got people attacking OJ for supposedly attacking Robert Colvile for suffering personal tragedy (which OJ, naturally, had no idea about).

His picture is unpleasant.

the pinefox, Monday, 27 December 2021 11:52 (two years ago) link

Excellent thread, a fuller picture on NHS and how it's coping with covid.

How's NHS doing at moment in relation to omicron and other pressures? New thread based on latest data. Note that we prefer to use numbers of covid-19 patients in hospital, rather than new admissions, as two days more up to date and better represents whole picture...1/19

thanks for that.

in other news i’m baffled at the lack of quotes from liz truss in this article about british cheese exports and brexit: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/dec/27/brexit-the-biggest-disaster-that-any-government-has-ever-negotiated

Tracer Hand, Monday, 27 December 2021 22:20 (two years ago) link

you'd have make some pretty fuckin special cheese that ppl would be willing to pay 244% duty on it.

calzino, Monday, 27 December 2021 22:32 (two years ago) link

all these exciting new opportunities in "emerging markets" eh? Who could have predicted it would turn out to be a load of bollox!

calzino, Monday, 27 December 2021 22:42 (two years ago) link

Emerging markets - Doggerland, Atlantis, Pangaea, Middle Earth, all gagging for traditional British dairy produce!

moog roog (Matt #2), Monday, 27 December 2021 23:10 (two years ago) link

it gets me the British farmers who say they can't compete with Australian and New Zealand produce that has to be shipped from literally the other side of the world.

koogs, Monday, 27 December 2021 23:32 (two years ago) link

the only two consistent things about Lammy are his small-c conservativism and total lack of principles. He's done a few emotive speeches here and there that earned him some acclaim. But he's a coward and a typical career politician. Lol I read somewhere that he only nommed Corbyn in 2015 to split the Burnham vote!

calzino, Tuesday, 28 December 2021 13:45 (two years ago) link

Would throw his granny under a bus if it helped his career.

unfortunately for Lammy some people on the right will always judge him for the years that he was publicly supportive of Corbyn, rather than praise him for this cowardly move. The old Bevan quote applies here.
