The Politics Thread

Have you read the majority of comments underneath?

It's incredible how thick ppl are that they're manipulated by mass media and government lies.

People claiming asylum who make the Channel crossing are protected by international law and are not illegal unless their claim is rejected. But no, somehow they're all illegal

 

Soon followed by the evergreen belief that The Law states that migrants are supposed to stop at the first country they set foot on...

 

I love that bullshit argument. So errrrr basically we should have no refugees whatsoever simply bcos of our location, bad luck Greece

 

This is so ****ing disgusting!
A British PM placing a bet on TV with a criminally discredited ****stain about illegally reporting asylum seekers!
Yeah - that sounds normal.

 

Tbf it was his previous home secretary's dream and obsession, so this is nothing new.

Scummy is as scummy does.

 

No tbf's in this one. A rabid xRW Think Tank troll, masquerading as a politician, returned to a senior Cabinet post, by a weak, xRW multi millionaire masquerading as a PM.
But this is just vile - and in a normally functioning Democracy he would be resigning in front of Parliament tomorrow morning.
But this is UK 2023.

 

Apart from anything else, placing a bet in a market where you have a control function is corrupt.

 

Before he became Chancellor (thanks to Javed resigning out of principle) Sunak was a junior lacky doing the rounds on Sunday morning politics shows trying to polish turd, much in the way Chris Philp does now. That was right up until the 2019 election. A couple of months later he's Chancellor, then 3 years later PM.

That is where we are. Nothing is earned. So is it any surprise we don't have a normal functioning democracy.

 

Good point. Although don't hold your breath for Plod to investigate....

 

But you can bet that everything and everyone is paid for.....

 

There's always a Tweet...
The only thing that Sunak appears to be even remotely competent at is making himself richer - although even that appears to have been achieved by picking the right wife. In all other aspects of his being he is a grotesque, failing clown.

 

I'm going to suggest that Rishi-Washy's advisors don't have their phones switched on most days

 

I see the murder boner is extending to non-human targets as well now...

 

I'm assuming every MP who was sent out to repeat those comments "misspoke" too...?

 

This makes a very good point - and may confirm your theory. His own decision making is very poor.

 

I'm going to suggest that this qualifies as "Fake News"

 

As she raises her head again to spew some more calamitous ideological rhetoric, this balances the day nicely.

 

I really don't buy this quiet conservative, shy Tory bullshit.
It doesn't seem to reflect reality remotely.

 

On the subject of the PopCons


Who had Flick Scully trying to Melania her way to power on their bingo cards?

 

I've heard of dog whistle politics but this is ridiculous. Never ever heard anyone literally announce it in their speech
