Aye. Tactically voting could well obliterate them. 

 

I'd be as well pissing on the ballot as voting Labour here, so it's a Lib Dem MP for me.

BBC can Photoshop a soviet hat on Corbyn but can't say that Farage uses 'customary inflammatory language' without immediately apologising.

She should just get her brother to call him a cunt.

There was that time when Johnson turned up looking disheveled and hungover and god knows what else on Remembrance Sunday. Then the BBC used footage from (iirc?) the previous year on subsequent news reports covering it. Then just waved it away with “some stock footage is often used” or similar rather than any apology. You forget about loads of shit because they do it so often. Also, Farage isn’t even standing as a candidate but gets more coverage than any of the other small parties put together

That Johnson cenotaph thing was 100% a favour getting called in by friends in the right places. It absolutely stunk to high heaven. Would similar 'stock footage' have been shown for Miliband, Corbyn or Foot? (We know the answer).

Aye, Foot’s got more notoriety all these years ago for wearing a donkey jacket (in support of the miners) that was actually not a donkey jacket or intended as any sort of statement. Michael Hesseltine even repeated the lie unchallenged straight after Foot’s death

Greater Manchester Police confirms no further action against Rayner. Now do one on the Tory that reported her for wasting police time.

The Telegraph posted this story earlier:

 

It's been widely ridiculed cos how the fuck does this bloke think age works, that future 18 year olds should be grateful for a furlough scheme that didn't benefit them at all. 

 

So they've now changed it to:

 

 

The photo size limit is stopping me adding the text to this post, but

 

Young people need to say thanks for a policy which completely wrecked their schooling and lives for a period, with the most disadvantaged kids suffering more than anyone else. 

 

If the article is that poorly thought out in the first place, just pull it. Then sack Hamish posh boy and your editor.

That's the new section explaining why kids should be thankful for lockdown.

"Hamish De Bretton-Gordon" is the toryest of tory names I think I've ever heard. You just know he's shagged a farm animal to get into a secret society.

 

One of my kids is on the SEN register because they missed out on two thirds of the reception year due to covid and they never caught up. Partially because it took the school 18 months to realise there were so many kids falling behind, due to a lack of teachers and teaching assistants because of tory budget cuts. Hamish should jump out of a third story building, ringpiece first, onto a cactus if he thinks a thank you is in order, the posh cunt.

[Gemmill 46093]

That's the other thing. The measures this cunt of a govt were supposed to put in place to catch kids up just never happened. 

 

My lass reckons they've still got kids coming through their school now who have social skills that are completely off due to this vital period in their development which was missed.

 

Sorry to hear that your kid has been affected btw.

It's taken GMP two months to realise that this doesn't fall under their remit?

Spot on. The amount of mental health problems covid caused school kids is off the scale, many kids never went back. And they should thank the conservatives for this?

I also can't stand the way Sunak talks about Furlough, as if the UK were unique in this and also as if it was his own money. The administration of it was also corrupt. From a personal point of view, I don't know anyone who benefitted from it anyway. Most people in professional jobs just ended up working from home with the added stress of trying to teach their kids at home. Public sector workers were made to go in and then were completely shat on by the government. Ans of course the lockdowns were much longer than they needed to be because of Johnson's utter failure to grasp the science.

While it’s an appalling waste of police time with a Tory chief cuntstable (sic) assigning ridiculous amounts of man hours to it. They were hanging their hat on this so it’s fucking brilliant if that was the best they could muster.

Fucking hell.

How can the investigation have been proportionate when it was never a police matter in the first place? 

Guess the tories will just be hoping some mud sticks anyway, it's not like the truth is a commodity they care about.

I was saying that to my lass the other day re: him banging on about furlough. It was our money not out of your back pocket. The odious little cunt making out it was him being generous. 

[Gemmill 46093]

Also on furlough. He had no fucking choice. It was the only option available to him at the time, and now he thinks it makes him the fucking celebrity ex Chancellor. 

[ewerk 31229]

Remember the pink signature branding on all the furlough communications?

I'd say she's bang on tbh. I think when you look at 8-10 year olds now compared to pre-covid they are stunted socially. They all seem to have a maturity a few years below their age bracket because they've missed that formative time at school and instead spent months on youtube getting an inexplicable american accent.
