Tory Death Spiral

If BJ has to ask for an extension I don't believe he will stand down, he'll suck it up and get to call an election.I'd imagine it will be simple to spin the humiliation back on the 'westminster establishment Brexit blockers' too.

Well, it's not as if BoZo has never baulked at going back on something he previously claimed.
 
Politics 2019, where personality cults mesh with conspicuous consumerism

Indeed. Although there's a part of me that thinks "why not?" We're long past the point - if it ever really existed - where people vote based on policies. They vote with their hearts, more than ever. Johnson could literally fuck a pig in public and most of his supporters would still vote for him.

Ha, just realised I basically mentioned the plot of a Black Mirror. And that's where we are. It's all fucking nonsense.

Is it any worse though than people voting Labour for generations regardless of policies? How long did it take people to quit voting Labour during the Blair/ToryLite years?

Not going to lie, at this stage I am genuinely just enjoying watching it all circling the plughole. Fuck knows where we'll end up.

Still, the struggle is eternal eh? At least that's always true.
 
From that article, on rees mogg:

"A living example of what a moderately cut double-breasted suit and a decent tie can do with an ultra-posh voice and a bit of ginger stuck up his arse"

LOL
Even more LOL that it comes from the guy who arrived at his polling station in the last GE like this...
 
David Cameron initiated the Brexit fiasco by promising a Referendum, if they won the 2015 GE.
Purely out of concern that Tory party members would leave and join UKIP if he didn’t. His belief being that he was ensuring the Tories future as a political force.
I wonder what he thinks now?
At least the threat from UKIP is gone...
 
This stuff, like the labour equivelent of the last few years, is just the dying cries of a political consensus that's had its time and is now terminal isn't it. It's over. Adapt or die dickheads

Sir Rupert Fades, the right honourable member for Entropy, has been heard to exclaim 'the centres growing mould'.
 


(((Homeowners))) :(
Would be great if this was true - less landlords, more houses on market, cheaper to buy and let, loss of consumer confidence around seeing property and their own homes as an investment, and most people largely unaffected cos it only really matters when you're selling without buying. Some sort of scheme to deal with borrowers in negative equity would be helpful

But it's bollocks though cos if private tenants had right to buy it would be at, or close to, market value so why the fuck would landlords rush to sell at half market value
