Look like Larry is getting a promotion in the Dire Leader's reshuffle... please log in to view this image
Just a reminder, a few months ago James Cleverley - who has just been appointed as deputy party chair - posted a tweet stating that anyone who believes nurses or firefighters deserve a 2% pay increase are Stalinists.
Yesterday: The Dire Leader defends the appointment of sneering ****wit Toby Young while offering the lamest possible defence for him, saying that as he was appointed he wouldn't be leaving Today: sneering ****wit Toby Young departs from a role he was hopelessly unsuited for in the first place I guess this memo didn't work, then?
Bloody hell... His colleagues didn't agree Although their mates in the media prattle on regardless While the 'Kippers try and jump on board so people remember who the hell they are
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic, the dullard who thinks "executive time" is an appropriate euphemism for watching TV and posting tweets instead of being an actual President has fatally undermined months of race-baiting NFL players for disrespecting the anthem by...disrespecting the anthem due to not even knowing the ****ing words!
We appear to have entered the stage in politics where what often is ostensibly a lot of ad hominem rhetoric from the masses is detracting from the key issues. In this case whether Toby Young actually brought anything of professional worth on paper to be considered for a role at the OfS (which IMHO he does not) .
I sometimes think there is something wrong with British women. If you tell an african woman that she has a nice pair of tits or a fantastic bum they generally take it as a compliment and say 'thankyou'.
Virgin Trains announce they will no longer sell the Daily Mail on their trains, which of course leads to... Has it not occurred to any of the alarmingly high number of people coming to the same conclusion that they can buy the Daily Mail at the station and read it on the train, therefore it isn't "banned" under any definition of the word in the English language? Of course it's worth noticing that when British Airways announced late last year that they were going to stop bulk-ordering the Mail for their staff it was entirely due to the cost of ordering 7000 copies a day - and that didn't lead to a massive overreaction nor the waffling gargoyle wading in with their ill-informed opinion. Meanwhile, over in Trumpland, Steve Bannon has been fired. Again. This time it's Breitbart doing the firing, which of course has nothing to do with anything he said in Fire and Fury...
Sadly--tragically--the number is probably about right, I think. It's certainly an interesting question as to why over a third of Americans think Trump is doing a great job. Both sides digging their bunkers deeper certainly plays a part. The fact that the US is going in the wrong direction for the great majority of its people is perpetually wished away by Democrats, as is the Clinton Democratic policy of throwing the weak, poor and vulnerable under the bus. (They fixate on the Republicans backing up and rolling over them again and again.) And yet it defies rational explanation. Trump may be as astonished as anyone else.
