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

But why publicly ask her to pay only 10% back? They must realise how that looks to us?

Oh yeah, they fucked up...but they don't care (enough).

They rejected the claim that her second home was not her second home and asked her to pay back money claimed at a previous rate for her mortgage when the rate went down. It's not like they said 'we reckon you nicked 50k, pay back 5'. Not excusing it, just explaining what actually happened.

Miller's letter says she owes her husband, her mother, her father and her three children a great deal. But she can claim it on expenses.

Is anyone running a book on the colour of Cameron's face at Prime Minister's Questions today? My money would be on 'Frankly Scarlet'.

 

[teqniq]

Romanesque would be a good second choice, allowing for the option to fall on his sword.

 

[brogdale]

Amongst all the guff that will flow from Cameron about how the expenses stuff ("lessons we must learn/will have to be reformed") let's not forget the terror that tory HQ will be feeling now that they've had a concrete illustration of the degree of disconnect between the parliamentary party and their 'grass-roots'/core vote, and therefore the extent of the potential leakage to Falange. For the press this may have been 'all about Leveson', but for the wider tory party this was a chance to punish those responsible for the gay marriage legislation.

Pop-corn time.

Wow - I really cant see maria miller surviving. The press are (deservedly) ripping her to shreds. Cameron has properly fucked up by not sacking her straight away.

I posted that on friday. Took Cameron and a fair chunk of the political 'experts' another five days to come to same conclusion.

Cameron's tin ear for the public mood is really striking. His curt 'lets leave it there' on friday and his clear annoyance when his instructions weren't followed echoed Millers arrogant non-apology.
This fits in with the whole thrust of this thread - these cunts are really quite shit at actual politics.
It took the likes of Thatcher and Blair many years in power to succumb to this level of arrogance. I guess thats because they came into a world of power and privilege whereas Cameron and his mates were born into it.

They'll be terribly upset about this diverting attention from the damning report into the Universal Credit balls-up published by the Work & Pensions Select Committee today. Terribly upset.

 

[King Biscuit Time]

I can't help but think when this bunch of cunts get turfed out the cognitive dissonance of the general public will kick in and it will be like that episode of the Simpsons with the Carnival Folk.

Spud: Hey! They just ran into the house! That Homer fella grifted you good, Dad.
Cooder: Well, there's no shame in bein' beaten by the best.
Spud: But he didn't seem all that...
Cooder: We were beaten by the best, boy.

Mrs Miller resigned early this morning

So where's my parliamentary consultancy and expenses claim form?

 

[ViolentPanda]

Any reaction from Minister David Laws yet?

Surely you mean "the convicted thief and minister David Laws"?

 

[Dogsauce]

When do we get the rest of the money back from Miller then?

Is Irrational Theresa May the next to bow out urbs?

And now Fabricant's sacked as vice-chair

"Been asked to resign as Vice Chairman, refused, so sacked over HS2 and my views on a recent Cabinet Minister. Still available 4 speeches etc."

Is this the start of the long-awaited Tory implosion?

Div Cameron is the new messiah.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-he-is-just-continuing-gods-work-9250449.html

David Cameron has claimed divine inspiration was at work when it came to drafting a key concept for Conservative Party policy.

Speaking last night at his Easter reception in Downing Street, the Prime Minister reportedly said he was simply doing God’s work when he launched the “Big Society” initiative of volunteering and civic responsibility.

“Jesus invented the Big Society 2,000 years ago,” Mr Cameron said. “I just want to see more of it.”

 

[Dogsauce]

If you're going to feed the 5000, you'll need to impoverish them and make them hungry to start with, right Dave?

 

[krtek a houby]

I don't like Cameron comparing himself to Jesus. Jesus was into equality and kicked the bankers out of the temple.

 

[treelover]

My friend(who is not in business) has just received a 'personal letter' from No 10 and Dave detailing how the recent budget changes will help her business and consider voting for the Conservatives, I'm not sure if it has come from central office or HMG, if its the latter isn't that illegal?

 

[butchersapron]

Does it not say who its from?

 

[treelover]

David Cameron

 

[butchersapron]

David Cameron

What - nothing else at all?

 

[Quartz]

David Cameron admitted on Wednesday night he had underestimated the “raw” public anger over the MPs’ expenses scandal as he committed to reform Parliament following Maria Miller’s resignation.

Link.



Completely out of touch, isn't he?

 

[treelover]

What - nothing else at all?

She told me over the phone, will try and clarify

If he's doing it as govt you've got a story - that's why you need to get it clarified before going further.
