Granny Danger Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 Have the opposition parties gone into hiding? I have seen next to nothing from the SNP, Labour and everyone else. I know the MSM will decide which stories to run with but how hard are the other parties trying. The only Labour led story I’ve seen is about a review of grouse shooting! Everything else is reactive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I like how she puts Westminster in inverted commas as if people are somehow mistaken about which parliament they are angry with. I fully expect Thornberry to take the Tessio role. I hope Seamus is keeping an eye on her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Ted Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 MSM have been completely shown up for what they are regards "terrorist sympathisers", after the Tories got in bed with the DUP.Notice it all went quiet on "terrorist front" after they became bedfellows, and it charged towards "anti semitism"I cannot believe people hoover up this shite from MSM.Corbyn is streets ahead of any Tory MP. Correct. Because, if they allowed it, this would be the last time we were allowed to vote. Given that the accepted MSM view of Corbyn is that he is incompetent, why is he about to watch another Tory PM destroy themselves? What exactly are these fuckers afraid of? Even with a drop in numbers, we still have four times the membership the Tories do. Are we all fucking stupid for wantin gat least a chance at a fairer society? Figures vary when you ask what percentage actually benefit from Tory policy, but it's always in single figures. Why, then, would almost forty percent vote for them - do these WC Tories honestly believe they'll be allowed to join the club? We elected Corbyn because the man is honest, dedicated and completely in tune with the values we hold dear. Values which we used to have before that snake Campbell and his mates rode in. Four years in, and all we hav is completely unfounded accusations on a personal level of terrorist sympathies and Anti-semitism. Further investigation of these accusations not only fails to find compelling evidence of wrongdoing on Corbyn's part, but shines a light on the behaviour of many of his accusers - yes, Hodge, I'm looking at you. For decades we've heard, "they're all the same. I might vote if there was a choice." Well, there's a fucking choice now, so let's give them a chance. Labour won't fix the country over night, but the Tories could easily break it (and us) before the natural end of this Parliament. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angela Rayner was on the BBC this morning to discuss Labour;s education plans. This was a bit complex for the sofabound interviewer, so he decided to ask about the "split over a second independence referendum". Angela answered very patiently, but I am afraid I would have punched the buffoon. It is quite consistent to say that a second IndyRef is not something labour wants, while not opposing the right of Sturgeon to push for one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However important things like education (and relatively unimportant grouse shooting) are they are not the issues that people want to discuss at this time IMO. 3. Labour should be challenging all Johnson’s announcements. It wouldn’t be too difficult, but they won’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
