BuddieInDundee Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Indeed. She managed to get on scene away from the 'day job' easily enough, just not deal with any of her subordinates around the corner. It's got to the point where you really have to start wondering if she's essentially a real life Nicola Murray with a Malcolm Tucker character instructing her to keep her trap shut in public, authorised only to give out soundbites carefully scripted for her. Essentially somebody who is just one poorly thought out sentence away from bringing the whole government down, but it's either her or the unelectable Boris at the helm for those absolutely desperate to cling to power. The Nicola Murray comparison is all I can think of anytime I see her since the fields of wheat interview, I'm so happy there's someone else who agrees. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Oh ya fucker, the look on auld Lizzie's face when she was meeting a line up of locals and in the background you could hear the screaming and wailing of someone who presumably just heard some bad news. Theresa May in her interview stuttering and stammering her way through a badly rehearsed set of answers with the least sincere face and tone you've ever seen or heard from anyone let alone the most powerful person in the country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a nuclear holocaust the only things left will be cockroaches and some arsepiece selling the Socialist Worker. Difficult to tell the difference really. It was chock full of them, they had even printed out some banners for the occasion. Carefully branded solidarity with todays cause. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I hope there's no riots but there should be more protests. Groups managed to organise protests all over the UK over Trump's potential state visit. Why is that worth protesting on a large scale and this isn't? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 The Nicola Murray comparison is all I can think of anytime I see her since the fields of wheat interview, I'm so happy there's someone else who agrees. Just everything this article has pulled up this week. Trying too hard to appear normal and constantly making an epic f*** up of it is the classic Murray / May trait.https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.telegraph.co.uk/women/politics/theresa-mays-8-awkward-moments/amp/ Theresa May in her interview stuttering and stammering her way through a badly rehearsed set of answers with the least sincere face and tone you've ever seen or heard from anyone let alone the most powerful person in the country. I can only picture this like the Simpson scene where Homer is trying to eat Blinkey the fish with all the advisors behind the camera playing charades to him.

Boghead ranter Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I just hope that if it DOES kick off, it doesn't turn into a loot-fest. The press will concentrate on the thievery and suchlike, where the focus should remain on the slum-landlord/potential manslaughter charges that should be being pursued. The media will be looking for any chance here to turn the spotlight away from local and central govt, and onto, well, anyone else. If it can be poor people or brown, all the better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to me like the government are just trying to front this out. And no mention by the interviewer Emily Maitliss in that interview.. of the raw anger of bereaved people. It really was the BBC in 'state broadcaster' mode. In the circumstances, few awkward questions were asked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 The odd wee fuxkwit VL decides in a moment of madness to kill some people in a misjudged sense of religious obedience and the right wing piss their collective pants in a wave of "kick them out".A right wing culture of backhanders, cronyism and disregard for others leads directly to the loss of life and the silence is deafening. Hopefully a tragic incident like this can make people realise we need to all take a bit more care of each other to get along in this world and that there's more to life than chasing cash. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think it would stick. The contractors went to the letter of the law. I have heard that even then you can make a case but it is hard. The real problem is the layer or two above where the laws are made. I do not think Labour escape share of the guilt here by any stretch of the imagination but a lot of people in the current government have sat on reports or voted down amendments that could have helped. The machinery of government is grasping to hit cover up mode and find a contractor or local borough level official to pin this on. This goes to the 2010 2015 government as a whole. But I think public anger is way ahead of their cover up playbook. I was at the protest at the Town Hall for a short while today. This city is ready to fucking explode. Hot weather coming. The Met is a breaking point with the two big terror investigations and running round with these protests. (Met, City and BTP). I think that Lammy, Corbyn, Khan and co need to get some kind of night time vigil going when people can get together, express emotions in a park where it is cool and there is nothing around for our anarchist friends to get involved with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
