Tory Leadership contest 2022

I’m making an assumption that you’re neither self-employed nor a business owner. That’s a gut feeling, but I’m pretty sure an accurate one.

Its accurate because you're a returner.
You know what they do. You know what you're doing. We know what you're doing, and it's fucking tedious.

Can't we just ban the boring wanker?

We need a system were we can suggest people for banning and if gets enough support the mods have to do it. Democracy in action.

I’m making an assumption that you’re neither self-employed nor a business owner. That’s a gut feeling, but I’m pretty sure an accurate one.

You don’t seem concerned about being able to pay for your bills or food. So you’re not working minimum wage, or in a zero hours contract.

At the same time, you’re trying to reinforce your position on this forum by throwing out uncorroborated swears at people who call you out.

You can’t help reacting, so you’re thin skinned as well. No problem, we’ve all got an ego.

My guess is that you were once proud of being a disrupter, a maverick, a force. Maybe you performed an act which you’ll be rightly remembered for. But, it’s difficult to keep that lifestyle up. You need to keep a roof over your head. Eat. Pay bills.

I reckon you’re in your 50’s and once told a copper to fuck off or something, and that’s the extent of your anarchism.

How much of fuck all do I know?

The square root of it. You demonstrate how little you know and indeed how abjectly fucking stupid you are - stupider than anyone has any right to be - by your paragraph 2 being contradicted by your 5. only someone truly as thick as pigshit would say in one breath you don't seem to be struggling financially and in the next you're struggling financially.

You lousy bums, you and your stinking language, you think I know fuck nothing, well let me tell you— I know FUCK ALL!"

Read them both many years ago, should give them another go

I just heard about them in a Niven interview, they did sound worth reading.

These two are rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic whilst asking the crowd what they want the band to play.

I can't believe how fucking long this nonsense is taking. These people are basically having a game of charades in the middle of a burning building. Endless jolly japes for their own amusement, no evidence of any actual work being done. Months of pissing about. The only positive is that they aren't actively out there, causing the damage they do when they actually show up to 'get on with the job' as they like to phrase their normal activities.

Although it is summer silly season so even if this leadership contest hadnt happened, we'd still be well into the zone of less happening within the walls of power.

And yes this stuff is annoying even at the best of times, let alone when it happens during a time of instability and woe. The season when political own goals usually happen if a minister is too slow to come back from holiday if an acute crisis erupts.

 

[Karl Masks]

File under things that won't happen.

Along with your big box of printouts wasting massive amounts of paper when you could just read them off a screen.

Trade War ahoy!

Didn't watch it all but I hope he realizes those aren't the only copies of those documents.

 

[Artaxerxes]

“And your going to let parliament vote on which to keep right?”

“Oh”

Even worse are all those who've stopped to encourage the spectacle.

And yet, the crowd gathers, telling each other 'aww, give them a chance' and shouting 'play us a tune we can sing along to'. They'll be underwater by the time applause would usually be due, but who cares. By then, the bastards will be in the lifeboats moaning that the provisions aren't up to scratch, while the people who let them get there wonder what the hell happened as hypothermia sets in.

This lot are never off holiday. BJ was in some borrowed mansion in Mustique when Covid was kicking off, Raab didn't want to be disturbed in Crete when Kabul fell, Priti somehow found herself on a spa break in the Golan Heights with Netanyahu without a clue who he might be, Rishi rides out the winter in Malibu, Geoffrey Cox claims his salary and expenses while sheltering in the Caymans. I suppose it's the brazen entitlement that particularly grates.

Truss herself doesn't need to go away to have a holiday. Every day is a holiday when you can bill the taxpayer for thousands of £ to get drunk at lunchtime. No idea why that story disappeared from view. I've had some serious nights out in my time, but I'd be out cold by 4'o'clock if I'd drunk what she and two or three others managed to put away on a Tuesday afternoon. She's got the nerve to pick on Sunak for buying Prada shoes with his wife's dosh.

 

[Raheem]

Isn't this what Rees-Mogg has been pretending to do? Will we see some salary clawback?

 

[teuchter]

I note that the Brexit Delivery Department appears to have been set up in a spare room on a suburban housing estate somewhere.

Not enough to shut the fuck up.

Pitchforkocracy! I like it.

It will happen. That is, they'll 'review' each bit by checking if we need to keep it to continue to trade with the EU, see that we definitely do, and decide to leave it alone. So five minutes' work, three thousand times...barely a month's work for one person.

I'm so ancient that I was in secondary school just after my comp was formed as a merger between the sec modern and grammar school. We inherited a Latin teacher and I did it for 12 months before we retired him. Just about the only thing I remember from that 12 months was the pottery thing. As you might guess, I am not the proud owner of a Latin O Level.

Ostracism is more famous as being part of Athenian democracy so this explains why you fudged the O-Level.

I, hazily, remember it coming up when he booted one of us out of the class. He must have grasping wildly around the ancient world for a justification. Having said that, he was a director of Bury FC, so must have been used to disappointment.

I meant, Rishi won't be doing it. Since he will not be emperor

By the way, I did briefly consider going down the 'Latin, it's all Greek to me' road. That I didn't speaks volumes as to the nobility of my character.
