    If I were a Tory I would pick the leader most likely to call a snap Election in the hope Labour win with a small majority or perhaps even a minority government. They then have to deal with the next couple of years - which cannot be pretty whoever is in power. They then blame everything on Labour incompetence and focus on the GE after that.
    They could hope that by then they might have some policies or even MPs who are not their current awful bunch.
    Surely even a diehard Tory cannot think one of the current choices will be remotely good,

    That's basically the plan anyway: wreck the country for a dozen years, try to say it's somebody else's fault, and leave somebody else the unenviable task of cleaning up the **** while blaming them for it

    They've been doing that to Labour-led councils for years now

    Funny you should say that. That was very much the plan/expectation in 1992. I remember reading an article a year or so after that election (can't remember which paper) when the **** started to hit the fan, where they said similar to what you've said.

    First thing a labour government should do is make it law that no nondoms are allowed the control the media, nobody under the age of 55 is allowed to read the Scum,Mail,Express ,Times or Torygraph

    Might be a bit too risky for some of them.
    Could get voted out or replaced in the pecking order by somebody more competent.
    Plenty of looting and bribery to do in the next couple of years.

    They have been blaming labour for the last 12 years some even did it on Ch4 the other night and I was disappointed that the presenter didn't pull them up on it
    Thinking about that programme, why is it on national TV, the leadership will only be decided by 150'000 party members and I doubt many watched it as it went on till 9.00pm ,well past their bed times

    Going back on a promise to an ally? This government? Never! <laugh>
    "It's like 2016 all over again." It is. Brexiters bullshitting about reality, despite the evidence. Spot on.
    Even if the UK didn't veto Turkey, then it's basically a given that Greece and Cyprus would.

    Which British politicians were in favour of Turkey joining the EU, anyway?
    Just the one, as far as I recall:


    Johnson is of Turkish decent, of course.
    His great-grandfather was part of the government of the Ottoman Empire until he was killed:

    The year is 2063

    The United Kingdom now encompasses all of the land between Sussex and Berkshire. Unemployment would be at record levels, if the records weren't eaten in order to survive the harsh winter of 2047. Unemployment is so rife that people now have to seek employment as traffic lights, but provide their own red, yellow and green lights - even though people have forgotten what green even is, the colour not seen since the last scrap of grass was concreted over for more flats. And at the heart of it all, Penny Mordaunt is still insisting that the UK didn't have a veto to stop Turkey joining the EU...

    Leadership debate starts and first thing Kemi comes out with is her flipping burgers and cleaning toilets.

    Sorry, but what an utter fcking piece of **** <ok>
