I don't know where else to put this so this will do. Was watching bbc2 last night and a new program came on where 5 celebs have dinner and play games with the loser picking up the bill. I only stuck it out for ten minutes but Rachel Johnson (her of change UK fame) was on it and she was a right sneery prick to the other celebs and then made the ludicrous claim 'people think I'm posh but I'm not, my dad was just a civil servant' is she for fucking real? Does she actually think she's not posh? Anyway I guess the point I'm making is she's a terrible person

The Graun finally cottons on to what the rest of us were saying on the day TIG was founded ...



Which reminded me of this absolute gem from February:

Yeesh.

'The Independent Group for Change', rolls off the tongue so well, not.

Currently polling at 1%, they would be better going with 'The Independent Group for Loose Change' , what a bunch of complete deluded twats.

Proposal for this thread to be renamed "Tinge-CUK's time is up"

TIG FC, TIG FC, their only goals are own goals, the only club for me today, tomorrow this I might not say.

TIG FC, TIG FC, changed sides at half time, bollocks can I make this rhyme?

or maybe just a little edit - "Change UK: Chuka Umunna resigns from Labour party and launches Independent Group, and resigns"

I predict a great future for the non-aligned perpetual resignation party.

Yes we can change our membership. Yes we can change our name. Ours is a dynamic party that is not afraid to lurch with the times. You have to be nimble when your choice of centre ground is to be found on some small rock in space, hurtling towards the void. Ours is a light that burns so bright for such a short period that we were even going to call ourselves Chukas Comet, until someone got cold feet due to fears that people might associate us with a high street purveyor of electrical goods that included deadly tumble dryers.

Proposal to rename this thread, "The rise, fall, and continued fall, of Change UK"

 

[Sue]

or maybe just a little edit - "Change UK: Chuka Umunna resigns from Labour party and launches Independent Group, and resigns"

Or "Change UK: Chuka Umunna resigns from Labour party and launches Independent Group, and resigns and then they change their name by which point we've all completely lost interest".

Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange...

 

[brogdale]

In order:

1. The Independent Group
2. Change UK
3. Change UK - The Independent Group
4. ForChange_Now
5. The Independent Group for Change

Can anyone see any other combo?

Truly they are the gift from the Universe that keeps on giving. I've certainly got more out-loud laughs from them than from the last series of HIGNFY.

 

[mauvais]

NOTE TO EDITORS oh NO how do I do a recall QUICK I've accidentally put in a request to Companies House and if it goes through we will be called the CHINDILDO DEPENDENCE PARTAAAAANGE

Dont take away my breakaway. Or tamper with my snake array. I'm going to give my stake away, cos I believe in yesterday.

Can we just take a moment to reflect on how many heads in the media said we were all supposed to take these lot seriously. These people are stealing a living.

They've got their excuses and have parroted them at length already. Ooh these times they move in mysterious ways etc. Even when its dull shit like this where the conventional wisdom would also have been not to take this lot, or any other new 'centrist party' seriously. But ooh ooh its all weird now, we have populist charismatic shit beacons lighting up the political atmosphere, we thought all the old conventions were dead, blah blah mcshittery.
