The fall of the Tory party

fire-fighting the latest issue of the day rather than trying to get anything meaningful done

We should probably be thankful, as when Cummings says 'meaningful', he means 'massively damaging'.

Every time I hear these authoritarian points that wish for fewer laws, I wish someone could organise an elaborate prank to put them at the receiving end.

Ie in this scenario:

• 5am immigration knocks on Anderson's door
  
• "the HO has decided you are residing here illegally and has ruled that you will be deported to a 3rd country"
  
• back of the van to Heathrow
  
• first flight to Rwanda
  
• detained indefinitely pending processing
  

from the right?

But he's white?

Tl;Dr
I don't like checks and balances. They're not needed because I'm a mutha fucking genius.

He drove to Barnard Castle simply to test his own eyes. He can do anything.

Genuine. Fucking. L.O.L.

Thank god for the mute button and a lack of 'camera-on' culture 🤣

Trivial I know, but he's got a great surname for headlines like that.

James skillfully avoids calling policy 'batshit'

So the government is going to produce an ‘emergency’ bill to show Rwanda is a safe country?

We into ‘alternative facts’ territory

Yes. And it won't make a difference as the courts were explicit about how they defined Rwanda as not appropriate.

If they change the policy to include California instead of Rwanda, I’ll go and someone can take my place.

Hmm , I think you maybe onto something !

The Lords will ping pong it back and there won't be enough time before the election for it to get through. All performative so they can a campaign on being anti-elites/the blob/europe/lefty lawyers.

We should probably be greatful that they've learnt from Brexit the dangers of succeeding.

I think this is just Sunak trying to get the far right to shut up long enough for him to get on with stealing the last of the countries money.

Ha ha, 'innit?!

Surely it can’t be too long before Lee Anderson totally loses it and starts quoting early 90s hip hop (please let it be Cypress Hill).

(I may have had a long few days, feeling slightly jet lagged/unusual despite never leaving the West Midlands)

Lee Anderson is the perfect example of an authoritarian, mean spirited bigot
who thinks his lack of knowledge is irrelevant and all problems now matter how complex can be solved with commonsense. His type is not representative of where I live in S.Yorks but sadly there are individuals who do succumb to an 'easy' authoritarian p.o.v. Sadly, I do encounter the type occasionally on my travels.
I think this approach to life has always existed here. A great many people were
economically left but often culturally traditional in outlook.
Let's hope that the so called red wall has seen the errors of its ways and consign rent a gob halfwits like Anderson to the knackers yard.

Clarkson is the patron saint of these “How Hard Can It Be It’s Common Seeeennnnnnse” half-wit gammons, where ‘it’ represents the many things they know fuck all about.

You’ll notice there’s less of this from Clarkson himself these days, ever since he tried something that wasn’t fannying about with cars and found that ‘it’ (in his case farming) can be quite difficult and nuanced.

You mean a life long pension at my expense? Grifting cunts

these “How Hard Can It Be It’s Common Seeeennnnnnse” half-wit gammons, where ‘it’ represents the many things they know fuck all about.

and an attempt to explain 'it' is met with " if you're so clever why ..."

I think also the column about Megan Markle which got almost record levels of (sustained) complaints to IPSO including a quite public evisceration from his daughter might have made him take stock a little about the public persona he's cultivated.

Revelations from Patrick Vallance at the COVID inquiry today included Johnson being too stupid to understand graphs, Hancock saying things that he must have known to be untrue and Sunak being dishonest in his evidence.

Well, when I say ‘revelations’….

Rishi Sunak: The time has come to cut tax

Election soon then?
