I should explain why I laughed... When I googled Skinner, who should come up as search recommendations....Arthur Scargill, the shhite. If it was down to the Scargills of this world, you'd be shovelling coal down some pit, rather than living the life in Norway. As it turned out Thatcher was a fooking genius and was thinking Green before the Greens were even born. please log in to view this image
"First of all, let me say how sorry I am to hear your story. Secondly, I know about D-day; my family had members that lived at the time of D-day. We've got plans that the Treasury have drawn up and properly costed for the next D-day. The Conservatives are the D-day party. Labour will just tax it ..."
and as usual he read the room wrong, he never thinks things through properly. I'm no great fan of commemorating war, we have remembrance day and that's as far as it stretches for me, but yesterday where was his advisors, we have 24/7 news channels now, and social media, along with devices that contact people within seconds, so there is no excuse for this type of cock up. I'd say he needs to sack someone, but he'll be getting the sack himself soon, so no point.
Sunak is the archetypal rich boy who has never had to really work or struggle in his life for owt - as such he has made political fame his Holy Grail - it glosses over a large number of inadquacies whilst still pandering to an inflated ego - he's also under the severe delusion that politics is also continually at the forefront of the minds of the general populace ... hence the huge faux pas yesterday ..
We are a country of Churchill, Boris and Dougal. Ours is a country of ideas, invention and discovery and we are truly the best at national cock ups...did you know my mum owned a chemist! please log in to view this image
Part of life is learning and especially learning from your mistakes in life, I'd like to know what Sunak learned from this cock up and what values it has taught him, remembering this is the guy that wants to bring in National Service and yesterday our King stood in front of a memorial wall and you couldn't but help note the ages of those that died on it.
That’s the thing; the media have created this monster, and nothing will stop them feeding it because Farage sells papers. Well alright, not papers, no one buys them anymore; but he’s clickbait as they say. More people probably support the Greens than Reform, but how much coverage do they get ffs?
Imo it's disgusting that people in here forgot that Rishi's father was a doctor An NHS one too Have some ****in respect
I cannot see how no one advised him not to do it. What about Cameron? Sunak obv asked him to stand in for him. Cameron must've thought it odd and said something. So assuming he was given advice he might not be able to sack anyone I don't know. Out of everyone though I think Cameron would've told him.
This is just round the corner from my mum’s house; Southampton’s D Day wall, which US soldiers carved their names in, waiting for the transports to Normandy. It’s quite moving… https://www.liberationroute.com/pois/866/d-day-graffiti-wall
A few days ago he was on Nick Ferrari who asked him how many seats Reform were going to win. Farage says I can't say yet but x, y, z and I'll know in a week. To which Ferrari says, can I have you back in a week to tell us. Farage says yes and Ferrari says you promise? I can hold you to that? Like no **** duhhhhh I swear some of these ****s are shills promoting him.
Got bored waiting for the England game. Popped over to the Leeds politics thread and threw a grenade in. D Day + 1
Tories have failed to find enough candidates / given Reform a clear run in some seats depending on how you want to look at it.
