Oh great, the Assange cheerleaders will be out in force again...

 

Bojo - "Mr President, Volodymyr, it is good to be in Kyiv again,"

Yeh I bet it is

There are just no depths this piece of **** won't sink to, to deflect and spin his way out of a ****storm.

Do us all a favour and stay there, ideally somewhere on the frontline

 

To be fair, judging by her trainwreck interview on #C4News yesterday, I'm actually surprised she was able to spell 'Conservative'.
#ThickAsMince

 

It'd be nice if we had a competent media who might put this front and centre

 

They're using a lot of green in areas where Bodger is seen as a liability.

 

Not one news outlet that I can see has picked up on this cynical ploy by Bojo.

A surprise visit! Cooked up yesterday no doubt after another ****storm thanks to his ex-ethics adviser.

Nothing like plonking yourself in a warzone when your popularity is taking a nosedive.

There will actually be ppl out there who will lap it up btw

Edit: I wonder if any of them will be in Doncaster?

 

Nobody seems to have mentioned he visited a day or two after Macron et al were in Kyiv

Or this...

 

The plot thickens...

 

Has he seen the state of our current government?
I wouldn't put any of that past a single one of them, especially if they could make a few quid out of it.

 

Tagging asylum seekers is their latest plan.
In the Tories’ dystopian world, this is fine.
Not their own idea though is it? Just a modern day equivalent of what the Nazis did to the Jews to identify them.
For the crime of being Jewish substitute the crime of being an asylum seeker.

 

It's bizarre to me, as half of the cabinet seem to be either foreign-born or children of immigrants.
Do they really have so little empathy that they can't understand their own parents?
Having said that, Priti Patel's father stood for UKIP, FFS.

Johnson was born in New York.
Raab's dad was a Czech Jew who fled the Nazis as a child.
Sunak's parents are both African Indians, as are Patel's.
Javid's parents are Pakistani immigrants.
Kwarteng's parents are Ghanaian.
Sharma was born in India.
Zahawi was born in Baghdad.
Schapp's family are Jewish.
Gove's Scottish.

How do they fail to understand the persecution and demonisation of minorities?
How far down the list do they think they are, exactly?
The arseholes that they're empowering aren't going to stop at asylum seekers.

 

Not a massive fan of Marr, but it's nice to see someone pointing out the distraction tactics.

 

Mate it's simple and you've pretty much answered your own question.

By and large, for any 2nd generation offspring of an immigrant, particularly one from a developing country or fleeing persecution, to join the Tory party, they'd have to be a special kind of ****.

They would have to be.
