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

If you want a whole ten years of tory government fuckwittery catalogued in one place Rory Stewart’s new book is a shocking litany of absolute political madness

I’m not a fan of his but it’s worth a read
 
Dame Andrea Jenkyns DBE MP, who served as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Skills, Further and Higher Education from July 2022 to September 2022, wrote the following letter earlier this week:


77750031-12744421-image-a-28_1699899561120.jpg


It is analysed here:



 
Dunno if it qualifies as stupid but since we don't have a terrifying Tories thread...


Focusing on critics of the UK government, handling of schools, keeping tabs on said critics' and, for want of a better word, cancelling them. Very disturbing but inevitable.
 
"Boost employment"? Isn't unemployment pretty low at the moment? Are they trying to put downward pressure on wages by pushing more people into work? Fucking cunts.
Theres massive vacancies, shortages in the labour market. For all sorts of reasons including the pandemic, long covid, baby boomers retiring. Also caused by Brexit but they dont want to talk about that angle so the others based on health and attitudes towards work are easier for them to focus on.

State of the fucking punctuation on that :mad:

E2A the letter, not Garvey's post!
It's a tricky one because she has, in the past, claimed to be dyslexic and I'm prepared to take that on face value. But...if someone with dyslexia holds public office perhaps it might be wise to get staff (& they have them) to snag prose if they don't want the impact of their words to be diminished by reactions to the syntax/grammar etc.

I dunno really, maybe we should accept dyslexic output and just try to find the meaning in it? The real problem with Jenkyns is her vile politics and seemingly very low intellectual abilities.

I'm less bothered by the poor grammar than by the various clumsy dogwhistle tropes. And yes, her vile politics and seemingly very low intellectual abilities, which that letter - vide its English - demonstrates in all their glory.
