Hmm, I wonder which place voted Conservative last election? Places like Darlington need the investment more than Newcastle, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21638 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Compare the media coverage of Patel to the absolute shit storm over Sturgeon's alleged behaviour. Then ask yourself which is worse. This government is absolutely rank with corruption and cronyism and barely anyone bats an eyelid. Looking at you @Dr Gloom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd settle for that. Kinnock was succeeded by Smith and then Blair after all. Right now I feel I am more likely to see Newcastle win a cup than see these cunts out of power.

Rayvin 5223 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Greens ahead of the LDs. That's starting to feel consistent. And I mean yes, it's fairly clear that Starmer isn't pulling up any trees here. Hopefully he's a good campaigner when the time comes but I suspect stuff like this is just going to throw him evermore into the arms of the 'red wall' voters.

Rayvin 5223 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 As ever, if you added up all the left/centre left parties (I'll graciously add the LDs to that), we're ahead. Never thought I'd say it but maybe we really do need UKIP back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading about that period and wondering why the hell people voted those cunts in four times.

Blastronaut 1333 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Regarding Starmer, I honestly just have a pretty hard time trusting anyone with a knighthood that claims to be a socialist. Not that I'm voting Tory. "Sir Kier" is the lesser of two evils but he's still quite clearly a duplicitous cunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I’m living through the same and I’m none the wiser. The similarities are remarkable. Swap Corbyn for Foot, Momentum for Militant, tory bribes in the form of council House sales for stamp duty freezes and help to buy, and the fact that most people in the SE and Midlands are demonstrably cunts and still are, although that base has expanded further still. Kinnock wasn't a failure set against that backdrop, he was a reformer who fell just short. I've just come to the conclusion Anglo-Saxons are hard wired to be selfish twats. Nothing's changed or will ever change. Edited March 4, 2021 by Renton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
