The New Tories - Ruthlessly Incompetent. Post Examples of Tory Stupidity Here

he's made a bit of a mess of those lines hasn't he?
looks like a load spilt down the side and stuck in the rim.

what needed pixelating. I'm curious.
A chang-chopping credit card presumably, maybe the number was visible?

A close relative of the Conservative MP David Warburton was offered a lucrative advisory role at the firm of a businessman who had provided the politician with an undeclared loan of up to £150,000 for a holiday rental property, the Guardian can reveal.

The party has removed the whip from the MP for Somerton and Frome, who is understood to be facing allegations of sexual harassment, cocaine use and failing to declare a loan from Roman Joukovski, a financial adviser who specialised in offshore tax advice and providing tier one “golden” investor visas to foreign citizens.


Warburton introduced his wife’s uncle, the businessman Rodney Baker-Bates, to Joukovski in summer 2018. Baker-Bates was subsequently offered a £75,000 a year advisory role at Dolfin, the business Joukovski founded, sources have told the Guardian.

After being asked to stay away from the parliamentary estate and reportedly being referred to parliament’s harassment watchdog, Warburton was taken to a psychiatric hospital on Sunday afternoon for treatment for shock and stress.

He is said to have denied any wrongdoing, and insisted that he had “enormous amounts of defence, but unfortunately the way things work means that doesn’t come out first”.

Colleagues expressed shock at the alleged behaviour, describing the married father-of-two as quiet, polite and hard-working.

But three women were quoted by the Sunday Times as having raised concerns about his conduct, and the paper also alleged that Warburton had received a loan of £100,000 from Joukovski.
 


Shouldn’t there be an ‘or’ in there before the penultimate ‘choose’? I mean obviously I don’t care and they can get to fuck and fuck themselves while they’re getting there, but I do like a bit of logical consistency in my political advertising.*

It is now a simple choice, the evils of Conservatism verses the risk of the evils of nationalism.
I would hold my nose and vote SNP, not for positive reasons, but to resist the established cunts.

Personally I would always vote labour by default, and always have, peg often firmly on nose, except when tactically voting out Tory scum where labour has no chance.
 
I simply have an inherent problem with the concept of nationalism and nations.
An accident of birth is what we’re subject to, and then we might find ourselves in a position where somebody in power decides what your national duty or expectations should be.
Or worse, when somebody in power in one ‘nation’ declares there is superiority over another ‘nation’.
None of all that stuff sits easily with me.
 
The Tories have taken us back to the 70`s. They were calling Corbyn and warning people that he would take us back to the 70`s! The Tories have done it.
Time of low rents, low house prices, stronger unions, non-privatized NHS, free higher education, relatively higher benefits, council housing ... ? The tories did a good job of demonizing the 70s too. More like taking us back to the 30s I'd have thought.
 
Oh boy, I just heard Charles Walker trying to equate Starmer's criticism of Akshata Murty's tax affairs with implying she was her husband's possession of some sort, or "chattel", as he put it.
