The fall of the Tory party

Who are all the forum tories? List please as I am not aware of many on here.

Well there's a couple kicking about here if they admit it or not

This, it's in the same bucket as O-bummer and all of that nonsense. I've seen people (redditors) justify it as saying he's not fit to bear the name. And you don't have to like the guy to think it's pathetic.

I'm a Tory, but only for Halloween.

Any time the Tories are doing badly you can always rely on some supposed lefty to come along and attack their own side

I wonder how the various forumengers who voted leave feel about things now?

What name? I'm still none the wiser with this stuff.

Forum seems to be full of Tories these days. See the golf club thread. Sad times.

I don't think the forum is full of tories, but there's certainly a few who do pretty well under them.

All this talk of their being separate warring factions within the conservative party as if labour is immune to infighting.

I think I'd like to see your costume please.

Probably still really smarting from the EU's treatment of Greece over the 2008 financial crisis (or whatever the reason was)

You can be to the right of the political centre of gravity of this forum and still be nowhere near being a Tory. When you encounter genuine Tories in the wild (e.g. Pistonheads) it's pretty shocking how they think about the world.

LOL, really? I mean, if a few hundred left shitposters on Twitter calling him Keith is going to undermine Labour's election prospects rather than, say, a leadership coup or pushing the party into a disastrous second referendum position, then perhaps he's not the strong and stable leader we need.

He's going to come under a shitload more scrutiny in the run up to an election due to issues largely of his (and his faction's) own making; a few people giggling about how apposite the moniker Keith is will be the least of his worries. And frankly, it is funny. It's funny that he really is a Keith and it's funny that such a tiny, trivial matter causes people to absolutely lose their shit over it.

FWIW, I started out as a supporter of his because I naively believed he would do what he said he would do. Not my fault he chose a different direction. I still reckon he'd be better than the Tories, though, but by his own admission on LBC the other day, only fucking just.

It's funny that he really is a Keith

What is a 'Keith' out of interest? Only person I know called Keith is a climber who travels a fair bit. really interesting and nice fella. Anyone joking called Keith at his expense should take it as a compliment.

Not that I would wish to tar all Keiths with the same brush, but it's seen as a bit of a wet/nondescript/middle management kind of name.

I only know one Keith too and he's a lead guitarist in a pub rock band, so...

Maybe later.

As someone who spent his childhood nervous about having to introduce himself to people because of my "foreign" name, constantly having to deal with people mis-pronouncing it on purpose, or because they couldn't be bothered to learn how to pronounce it, I think it's pretty fucking childish and not in any way funny.

All this nonsense about "adults", it's playground bullying, and if you think it's funny then send yourself back to school so you can try and actually grow up.

Stop using the K-word, you are literally enabling the Tories!

i still get packages with Amy written on it

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAH it's so funny

It's just a joke bro, laugh it off

I knew a Keith who was an epileptic lobsterman, he had a fit while out on his boat, which then crashed into a sea wall in France. He regularly used to leave very large live crabs on the back seat of my Mum's soft-top car.

Not all Keith's are boring.

My ex-wife's dad was a Keith who ran off with her mum's best friend and chose never to see his daughter again.

Keiths are cunts - QED.

What are you doing in your own life to address environment concerns?

“Well I’ve always tried to keep the good habits that I got into in regards to when I was environment minister before, so the use of kind of cups as it were, to be about permanent cups that we can recycle properly or reuse I think is a better way of doing it."
