That's a depressing thought. I prefer to believe Keef already carries around a wee book with the names and dates going back to 2010, which he scrupulously updates over a breakfast of dry toast and tabloid research/policy updating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some poor cunt is stood in front of his extended family and Bradley Walsh asks quick fire questions for half an hour and for every one they get wrong they get invited to another family get together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I suppose, to Starmer’s credit, “force killers to face the victim’s families” is at least an actual policy proposal rather than meaningless buzzwords for a change. It’s a dogshit, unworkable policy that he’s only hit out with because he’s a right wing populist ghoul, but still - that probably counts as progress. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellarHibee Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Got to hand it to Starmer, the more of a tory twonk he comes across, the more eager people are to vote for him to "get the tories out". Even managing to gain a foothold in Scotland in the process. Any shred of logic has been well and truly obliterated and it's working. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I’m beginning to think a benevolent dictatorship might be the best idea until we reach a position where the electorate are not so moronic. If I were a few years younger I’d offer my services but age and supporting United has taken its toll. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Steele Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Reeves - "Labour have no plans for a wealth tax". Aye well, you could've stopped at plans. Labour. What a joke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have come to the conclusion that Starmer wants to reposition British politics; hounding out anyone with left-of-centre leanings and offering policy positions that give the option of centre-right or far-right from the two main political parties. Ally that to the wholly undemocratic FPTP and it’s possible to have British politics devoid of any real democratic choices for the foreseeable future. Once again the unwillingness of the Trade Unions to offer any resistance must be called into question. They must genuinely believe that it’s an electioneering ploy and that a more progressive Starmer will emerge post election. If so they are going to be very disappointed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a bonkers reaction to today's result but could the Lib-Dems put forward a manifesto with carefully costed policies balanced with smallish tax increases on Wealth, Inheritance and maybe 1/2p on the top rate of income tax and totally fuck Labour up down south - I don't know whether that would make me laugh or cry. The Lib-Dems could argue we've stayed where we were it's just Labour who've bypassed us chasing the Tories.

Can’t say I blame them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
