Renton 21588 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 3 minutes ago, Gemmill said: This could conceivably bounce Sunak into an early election. If he thinks more of his MPs will defect, it will definitely start to eat into their polling at an accelerated rate. If he goes sooner he stops the bleeding. If it's a May election he needs to make that decision in the next few days I think. It's possible but more likely he'll be paralysed into inaction unless the 50 letters happen. The last time I was this confident of a result was the time we beat the mackems 2-0 at SJP, early 2002 season I think. We were in rennaisance with Bobby Robson and the mackems were fucking awful, on route to a record low points total. Bellamy scored in the first minute and we ended up winning comfortably 2-0. Thing is, I hope this GE isn't like that, cos I was really disappointed that day we didn't smash 10 past the cunts which we should have. Nothing short of tory extinction will satisfy me now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's got until the 20th or something like that. So there's enough time for another defection or two and some new polling to show the effects.

Renton 21588 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 ALso thinking about it, I think this signals Reform will not back down in key tory seats like UKIP did in 2019. That could be the most damaging part of it for the tories. They really are fucked every way they turn aren't they? And they have zero competence left to deal with it.

If he backs down in Tory seats he just becomes another tool of the Tory Party and all of his big talk comes to nowt. I think he's said enough now to make that very unlikely. He knows they probably won't have a single MP after the election, but he loves the limelight and the exposure will make him some money, and that'll do him.

Legally there needs to be 5 weeks / 25 working days from Parliament being dissolved and the election date. This means the former would have to happen on 26th March, if the general election were to coincide with the local ones pencilled in for 2nd May. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21588 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Taxes - At a post war record level. Immigration - at an all time record level. Brexit - been an unmitigated disaster (see above 2 points) DIvide our society - something the tories have sought to do every single day they have been in power. Can we not just go back to square one please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44811 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Lads, he just sometimes says things that racists would say, but the thing that separates him from the racists that say the same stuff is that he just actually isn't racist. He just says the same stuff. And honestly it's really upsetting for him at the minute that people have leapt to the wrong conclusions about him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s been discussed and Renton or yourself might’ve been the first to make the point. But they got away with it talking about some future promised land, free of EU red tape and regulations with ‘sovereignty’ reinstated, less immigration, greater prosperity etc. They can’t get away with lying about stuff they’ve already caused though. Although talk of low taxes from the party that introduced a record tax burden whilst simultaneously destroying public services, making global inflation pressures even worse, making your mortgage costs thousands of pounds more and just generally making everyone bar the super rich and wealthy retirees significantly poorer is, what the Americans would call, a doozy Edited March 13 by Alex 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21588 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 This Hester bloke sounds horrific. Like I said last week I think, the tories literally cannot go a full week without some other shit show happening. This is particularly bad for them because it comes after Sunak's ridiculous extremism speech, they can't afford to neutralise it by returning the money, and it draws attention to the rank corruption of tax payer cash and honours for donation paybacks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21588 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Latest plan is to PAY asylum seekers to go to Rwanda. I mean, how can this now be called a deterrent? If anything, it will become an incentive (especially as it has been confirmed Rwanda will let them leave at any time they like). And then of course we still pay Rwanda an additional sum, thought to be in seven figures. Genius. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
