Bloke's a fkucing psycho. For all the stick the likes of assad and putin get, this guy gets away with flippin murder.
Erdogan continues his public tirade against the Netherlands, that well-known international isolationist and war-mongering country!! Calling them fascists and demanding international action........ ****ing unhinged dictator!! (And that's a phrase that could be applied to a few at this moment.)
It can't be. THE PEOPLE voted for it, so it must be a good idea. THE PEOPLE would probably vote for free booze and ***s to be provided on tap - so that must be a good idea too.
I see that dozy bint Sturgeon has called for a second Scoxit referendum, what a surprise. Personally I think we should let her go ahead otherwise the same issue will keep coming back. This time the campaigning should be left to Scotish Ministers, keep the English out of it. Let the Scots make the decision by themselves. I quite like the Scots but i don't have a problem with them bailing out their own banks and subsidising an oil industry suffering low prices and falling reserves. Bring it on.
Considering that during her speech at the Scottish Tory conference a couple of weeks ago that Theresa May reneged over assurances made over the Scots having control over agricultural and fishing subsidies, instead stating that Westminster would have control of them, ten I am sure that Scots are quite happy to agree that the English should stay out of it - as long as "it" happens to be two of Scotland's key industries. In other examples of Tory scumminess, Liam Fox denied sending out a controversial tweet. There's two issues with his claim: firstly, here is said tweet... ...and secondly, while he was claiming to have never sent said tweet, the ****ing thing was displayed on a screen directly next to him!
Well if the Scots chose independence, they could subsidise their own fishing and agriculture industries should they choose to spend their taxe revenue in that way. Alternatively, they could rejoin the EU, pay in whatever the cost will be and then could get EU to subsidise their industries. They should be free to make the choice.
What a ****!.. Can't stand the smug twat! He's got that smug, fat face. The kind that if you punched it once you couldn't stop!...
Funny how so many Tories have the exact same sort of face. As well as the exact same inability to realise when they should stop lying because the evidence against them is a landslide of Doritos cascading toward them in a crunchy avalanche of savory death.
I suspect that he's telling the truth and that the screen's actually added to the transmission. He didn't tweet it, but one of his team did, ****ing up the dubious context in the process. Still a massive **** and it's his fault that he doesn't know what's being said in his name, but I don't think he lied about it.
I find it downright impossible that not a single Tory advisor mentioned the subject to him at any point before his appearance, considering the tweet got quite a bit of flak at the time, and I certainly doubt anyone suggested he try to hand wave it away by suggesting The Guardian tweeted it as that's the sort of comment guaranteed to come back to haunt you. But this is the thing with Tories (as well as their attack dogs in UKIP) it still has not occurred to them that if you post something online there is no way to cover it up. You can't shred tweets, because there's always going to be someone to screengrab the incriminating text (or in this case, the tweet's still up) just like removing something from your website doesn't erase it from history as there's plenty of internet archives out there that serve to remind people what you're trying to hide. In other liar news, KellyAnne Conway claims that Obama was spying on Trump via his microwave which turned into a camera...when what she should be saying is that, as today is the deadline Trump was set to provide proof of his claims to Congress, shouldn't she be saying that her employer has the proof and is heading to Capitol Hill with it clasped in his hands?
Nothing will happen to Fox, though. He'll carry on as normal and there'll be no backlash against him. An admission of fault might've required some sort of action. Why bother if nobody does anything about it? Say you didn't post it, especially if one of your employees did, pass the buck and move on. It's all well and good slagging these arseholes off, but it doesn't do any good. They continue to act like this and get away with it. Conway's a marvellous example of what I'm talking about. Alternative truths? Should've been something of a career-ender for her, but it didn't make a dent. She's not there to tell the truth, but to change the subject and bang on about a few key buzzwords. She does it relentlessly and deflects flack that should go elsewhere onto her, so she's untouchable.
That's the point: there is a backlash, it's just you have to know where to look. The obvious example is how the usually rabidly pro-Republican Fox News has already started to turn against the Trump administration, as even they question the flow of babble that leaks from the faceholes of Sean Spicer and KellyAnne Conway. Similar can be said for how, after weeks of Team Trump pointing the finger at the media as a desperate attempt to dodge criticism, the media have responded by sharpening their knives for anything and everything coming out of Team Trump they can dissect - and all of this has certainly had a knock-on effect within the political system. After all, fourteen years ago Dubyuh told Congress that Iraq had So-Called Weapons of So-Called Mass So-Called Destruction and gained the support to go to war - yet Trump tweets about Obama spying on him (via the camera in his microwave...) which has led to Congress to demand he submit actual evidence by 11:59pm UTC. Similar can be said of Liam Fox: is he really going to walk away from his blatant lies without a mark on him? At the very least this plays directly into the SNP's hands, as now they can point at a Westminster politician who cannot even enter a discussion about posting things on Twitter without both lying and failing to take responsibility, and this same Westminster politician is supposed to be negotiating on behalf of the UK to get a fair deal from the EU - and that leads to several other things Sturgeon et al can throw in Westminster's direction, not least the fact that the Westminster establishment kept repeating that if Scotland voted for independence in 2014 they'd lose their place in the EU, yet now Westminster wants to drag Scotland out of the EU even though the WILL OF THE PEOPLE north of the border was for Remain.
It's why so many US cartoonists portray him as a baby or a child. He thinks, as a child does, that he can just keep on chucking ridiculous unsupportable accusations out there and nobody will pick him up on it. The USA has exceeded even what I thought they were capable of by electing this clown.
There's not enough of a backlash. It's fairly tame and limited. People accept that politicians all lie and talk utter nonsense most of the time, don't care about most people and are a bit bent. It's become the standard and they're virtually all living down to it. Fox News is currently still quite pro-Trump, but a few of their actual reporters are turning. Shep Smith's clearly been pushing back for a while, with this coming recently: Most of it's still rabidly Republican and backing their leader, though. It'll take an enormous, undeniable scandal for them to abandon him and they'll immediately start running disinformation to save the party. Scottish politicians can hurl all the mud that they want at Fox. It won't do much, in my opinion. He's doing what most people expect politicians to do. He's survived this long, despite being ****ing useless. Something like this won't finish him off, in my opinion.
"Liam Fox was in charge of the UK's Brexit negotiations, yet he tried to deny he posted something on social media when that same post was on a screen inches from his face. If you cannot trust the Westminster politicians to tell the truth, can you trust them to treat Scotland fairly? If you do not, vote YES to independence." Considering how slim some of the margins were in favour of remaining part of the UK, from less than a couple of thousand in places like Eilean Siar and North Ayrshire to just 86 in Inverclyde, an ad like the one above going after Liam Fox's performance on Sophy Ridge is going to be the sort of thing the SNP will be wielding. Considering what's been said and written ad nauseum about places like Sunderland and Stoke voting Leave because they felt alienated by the Westminster establishment, Fox giving this a visual metaphor when the SNP are stoking the fires of independence is certainly not going to be harmless. After all, it's long been said Neil Kinnock taking a tumble on Brighton Beach cost him the 1983 General Election.
I got to know a dean when I was in college. His job was head flakcatcher. He was marvelous at it. People, including me, went into his office hating the university, and went out hating him.
