Who is going to win the 2018/2019 Tory Leadership election?

[ViolentPanda]

Javid's not really a Muslim, of course. He's an atheist. Actually that might be worse for him... He's a Muslim Atheist!

I believe the correct term in Islam is "apostate", and that the prescribed punishment is death.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Oh, you learn something new.

He looks like a muslim and has a foreign name, that'll be enough for the shire tories.

Some of them, being somewhat senile, will think "he looks like that lovely Dr Evil from the Austin Powers films".

Cunt off, fucknuts.

 

[newbie]

You don't live in London so you have no idea. The only legacy he has left are a trail of failed vanity projects which have cost us stupid amounts of money. Garden bridge, water cannon, cable cars etc. Nothing for ordinary people.

and a vast number of cranes around Nine Elms, in particular, building yet more tower blocks full of luxury flats sold in an instant off-plan in the Far East that no-one will live in.

 

[isvicthere?]

Hunt's a cunt
Johnson's a cunt
Gove's a cunt
Javid's a cunt
et cetera.

Victoria Derbyshire appears to be with you on this...

 

[hash tag]

Were he 'only a Tory', fair enough, but he's not is he? He is potentially PM which will affect all of us.

It's not a general election. We are regrettably just changing one Tory for another Tory. Their thoughts and ideas might differ slightly, but still remain a Tory at heart.

I have sudden urge to face mecca. If I kicked the cunt to death and claimed religious motivation, pointing to that particular rule, do you reckon I'd get off on the grounds of freedom of conscience?

Gotta be worth a go

James Blunt is very happy that he’s no longer the rhyming slang of choice.

Sadly, no. Law of the land overrides religious law.

Graffiti must go out across the land, declaring "Jeremy Hunt is a total James Blunt".

 

[Saul Goodman]

James Hunt would turn in his grave.

I wonder how many people looked across the pond at Trump and thought 'that could never happen here'.

Hey, remember this?

You've repeatedly praised him on other threads, as you well know. You did it just today. Even when challenged on your support for one of the most reactionary Home Secretary's in history, you've stuck to that.

I'm still waiting for you to back it up or retract it and provide an apology for lying.
In your own time.

I can't be arsed. I've quoted back your posts at you enough to know it's not worth the effort. You know you've praised Javid for stripping Begum of her citizenship and signing the extradition order for Assange to the US. When this has led to discussion of the Hostile Environment policy you've stuck by that praise.

But if you want to tell yourself I'm lieing, you go ahead. I really don't care.

You can't quote it because it didn't happen, you lying cunt.

seems a good choice...

Merely an observation.

We should at least use gentlemanly forms of derogation, such as "piccaninnies" with "watermelon smiles", or "letterboxes".

 

[Sprocket.]

No doubt the usual circus of late night phone calls will be ongoing. Begrudgingly answered by Johnson from those hoping that last chance grovelling will cement them a cabinet spot.

 

[andysays]

When all this began, I thought there was going some attempt by MPs to keep Johnson off the final two names that go to members. How wrong I was

It all changed, because of Farage putting the willies up them.

 

[Mr Moose]

They did alright under his Mayorship, a lot better than under the present incumbent

Who are ‘they’? Some got rich, some enjoyed just about the biggest week of rioting ever in 2011. Many left London altogether, economically cleansed from it.

You’ve got nothing of depth to say, so be a good chap and do one.

He built 94,000 new houses...

You've already established the extent of your understanding of housing in London when you railed against Corbyn for owning a modest terraced house that costs half the average price for such a property in his constiuency. What proportion of these 'houses' meet the needs of Londoners, instead of acting primarily as investment vehicles for overseas wealth? Boris oversaw a transition from buy-to-let to buy-to-leave. Investors frequently don't even bother trying to earn rent anymore. London property has increasingly become a way to store wealth safe from the scrutiny of other governments, as well as a relatively safe bet for a good return. This might be combined with a pied-a-terre for the odd shopping trip, or student digs for the offspring. By some accounts, it has got to the stage where this has become embedded into the design with many units never intended by the property developer to function as primary dwellings.

Boris's response as mayor actively encouraged this process at the time and dismissed concerns as left-wing xenophobia.

The lead time for getting stuff built is several years, so many of the houses built during the reign of Johnson are likely to have been planned and funded long before he took office (as were the hire bikes that he somehow managed to take credit for).

I thought exactly the same. I think they've just gone from hating him to still hating him but believing he is their only hope.

Then by that view, houses planned in the Boris era are still being built?
