The 2019 General Election

[Teaboy]

The world at one (radio 4) led on the rape minister court perversion and everyone on it seemed gobsmacked that this has happened on day two and were openly questioning the whole tory strategy.

I'm going to the bookies.

Tory supporters contacting 5 live to ask what the f is going on and is the party going to fuck it up just like 2017. It always amazes me when people align themselves with wankers and then get surprised when they are surrounded by wankers.

Good (convenient) news.

UK terror threat level downgraded from severe to substantial

 

[belboid]

Good to hear about Godsiff. Suspect Salma Yaqoob might be lined up for the seat?

Yaqoub is also being discussed at the panel I believe - but in relation to Mayor of Brum not as an MP.

is there likely to be more to come, or does Vaz's absence from this list suggest he's running?

delayed as Vaz is in hospital apparently

Seems somewhat unusual; I was under the impression that such status was always considered potentially higher at times of significant electoral events?

 

[bendeus]

So have I got this right, this twat has resigned as a minister (the day after parliament is dissolved anyway) but intends to stand again for re-election?

That's what seems to be happening, yes

 

[brogdale]

This quite something from the god-bothering sexting pest...



Vote tory in Wales, eh?

 

[Idris2002]

99% of the Stalin stuff on the middle class hobbyist left is comedy meme stuff, all as a response to idiotic attacks like Johnson's today.

I'm really sorry.

 

[imposs1904]

As it happens, I asked a group of millenials if anyone could identify the decapitated statue in this image recently. Nobody had a clue who it was, even when I mentioned that it had been taken in Budapest in 1956.

It's Ron Swanson

Hope that Disgraced Prime Minister Johnson is promoting #NationalStressAwarenessDay

His tone was very telling. In summary the Tories have no moral compass.

Thought he had it in for "cosmopolitans"?

Revealing that the broadcast media is not discussing much the ASA ruling about the DWP and U/C advertising

then again, there have been a lot of 'mistakes' this week.

It was on the BBC this morning. I'm not surprised the ministerial resignation has been given greater importance.

No doubt the usual suspects will come up with stories of religious suppression due to not wanting to discourage non-Xtains to vote ...

 

[treelover]

So let’s recap on Day 1 yesterday from the Blonde Bombsite and his unpopulist rabble:

Released a doctored video of Kier Starmer

Suppressed a report on Russian interference in the 2016 Referendum

Abandoned promise to give vote on Transition period

Report Reveals that against a promise of constructing 200,000 built zero

Rees-Mogg insults Grenfell dead.

Bridgen by way of apology says that those victims lacked Rees-Mogg’s intelligence.

James Cleverly roundly mocked and ‘empty chaired’ on Sky refusing to go on despite being in the studio after giving a car crash interview on GMTV

Forced to Withdraw misleading ads on Universal Credit...

All in a days work, but they are still on course to win GE, Trumpian Days..

got money on the tories have you?

 

[Pickman's model]

Not sure. This is also about attempting to pervert the course of justice, an offence that almost always gets prison time. Priti might be torn.

thought it might be contempt of court too, to flagrantly go against the court's direction of what might not be spoken

 

[treelover]

Oh, ffs, what are you inferring, I want the Tories gone.

 

[Badgers]

Is this perversion being formally investigated?

 

[Pickman's model]

Oh, ffs, what are you inferring, I want the Tories gone.

i'm not inferring anything, looked like you were saying the tories can do what they want and they'll still win

 

[Wilf]

its not all that long since they wheeled out the Stalin docus on the beeb, round the time of the revolution's centenary. Thats not much compared to the glut of docus on royalty, war and the victorians

2015 and the spectre of Red Ed's Dead Dad was haunting the election.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

It's not really that surprising that they are fucking this up though is it? The party was at the "dregs" stage at the last election when May was the best they could manage as leader. Now they've gone through the dregs and, I dunno where you go past that in the metaphor, maybe raid the bathroom cabinet and start drinking the mouthwash.

The whole "they may look like stupid toffs but actually they're really smart" thing was never true. It's only people around them who have an interest in keeping them in power who could manage a win - the Tories themselves are a liability to their own election chances. Tragically that still doesn't mean they can't make it, of course.

to take a smoking analogy, they've had all the rolling tobacco and now they're rummaging through the ashtray and making new cigarettes from the dog-ends of the auld ones.

Or some kind of mechanically separated meat product once the prime cuts have been taken.

Some Tories, yesterday

There's a bunch of them who look like they've been on that dark and noisome journey at least once.

Preparing for another coalition?
