vikingTON Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/aug/11/keir-starmer-gavin-williamson-sacked-pandemic-failures Coming off the fence to DEMAND that a minister to be sacked about 0.2 milliseconds before he gets punted regardless is absolute wee time behaviour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee-Bey Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 We're hearing a lot of support for murdering alpacas on the doorsteps here in this red wall constituency. It's only the far left cranks who oppose it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 It’s very funny that he chose to say “there is no alternative” as well Mark Fisher must be pissing himself from beyond the grave that capitalist realism also applies to killing nice animals 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt n Vinegar Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 12 hours ago, Miguel Sanchez said: The alpaca needs to be killed. No ifs, no buts, no equivocations. I dare say it is very sad for the owners, but I had to laugh when I saw that they wanted talks in Downing Street about the wretched animal. Pandemic, Afghanistan, Brexit, Belarus, spies in Germany, Biden asking for oil production to increase in the face of global warming, anti-vaxxers, covid deniers, GBNews, (Old Firm out of the Champions League ) ... and the owners want talks with Ministers about a fekking ALPACA? Get it shot before the damn thing dies of TB, or ends up on a stamp. Firm, but fair. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SANTAN Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Missing a trick by not killing the Alpaca proudly in the name of the Big British Beef industry... (throw in Brexit for full alliteration).. this is all too apologetic right now. Stick a UK flag on the cows and a EU one on Geronimo. Hopefully we get someone on Question Time tonight asking the politicians if they would slaughter the animal themselves personally to save the cows. Would you press the button if it came down to it?! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accept that the pandemic has changed the nature of politics, nonetheless there have been opportunities for Starmer to assert himself and challenge Johnson whose own leadership has been erratic and unconvincing; he has failed to do so. Where are all the anti-Corbynites who were claiming that Jeremy was an electoral liability* and that Starmer would be the new messiah? They have all gone very, very quiet. * Forthe record Corbyn was an electoral liability. I will admit I was one of these. Corbyn was useless in every way, a fact made worse by the fact that so many people bought into his Magic Grandpa act. Even clever people bought into his fevered gibberish. Looking at the Labour benches I thought Starmer might be the one to bring Labour back. His CV is great - civil rights lawyer, DPP, and he looked the part. But he has been a wet sponge since taking on the job. He only gained traction last autumn with his "slow into lockdown, fast out of it" schtick and was actually getting the word "incompetence" associated with Johnson. The vaccines wiped that all away and now all we get from Starmer is the need to be "tougher" on the virus, presumably with tighter restrictions. The same script from last October isn't working. He has said and done nothing new. Their problem is - if he goes, who takes over? The bench is looking mighty thin. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 All the dafties that spent the years whinging about the talent being wasted on the backbenches were literally talking about Wes Streeting and Jess Phillips it's not a surprise that the party is bereft of ideas now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The corpse of John Smith would be a more effective leader of the Labour Party. Use CGI like Peter Cushing in Rogue One and they have a fighting chance.

Tried a traditional centre-ish left with Ed. Now on to a centre platform with Keith. If doesn't matter. I saw a guy on the telly who used to be a Labour member in Leigh, Greater Manchester who's now a tory, which I found remarkable. The usual "Labour don't speak for me anymore" routine. So, by definition he reckons the Conservatives do. Maybe the "red wall" are delighted that the Poles have all fucked off and buy into this bulldog spirit stuff. It's easy to understand and strikes a chord because, as we all know, the Tories couldn't really give a f**k about "levelling up" the North if they can get away with it- which they are for the moment. Depressing stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's paid off his mortgage and has a stocks and shares pension then the Tories probably do speak for him. Perpetually rising house prices and QE pumping up asset prices is the pay off for letting the Tories destroying the country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to add to his attributes that: he needs private Healthcare, or never to get sick. Or old. his pension portfolio must be immune to any market crash which absolutely can, and will, wipe out his future. See Nomadland (book, not film). he has no offspring - he will either have to allocate space in his house for them indefinitely, or dip into that massive pension pot to subsidise their start of independence. His property value rising continually has the consequence of making it more difficult for his descendants to strike out on their own - and for his ability to downsize and realise some of that value. In summary, if you believe the Tories speak in any way for you, you are either independently wealthy, and immune to the shambolic handling of National finances, or a fucking idiot. Or a massive fucking racist, which in fairness is just a subset of idiot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
