This at least removes that problem. Agreed. To me, she was another of them who'd never left the 6th form common room, packed full of principle & passion but no discernible common sense or political acumen. Trouble is they want a woman and if Momentum & Unite/CWU keep their strangle hold on the party it'll be Long Bailey who's another one. Tough for Tom, I've often toyed with getting involved with local Labour but I'm too much of s cynical bastard to believe in other people to any great extent when it comes to politics.

Sam Gymah played a massive Grenfel card the faux Tory cunt in the full knowledge he was never going to win the seat himself. Aye reprehensible stuff from him. And now he gets to pursue a life outside of politics. I think Swinson has had a shocker these past few months but it's hard not to feel a bit sorry for her. Joined the Lib Dems in her teens, wanted to be a politician all her life, finally gets to lead her party and within months she's out of the game. But then if she and Corbyn hadn't been such egotistical cunts we'd be waking up to a very different world this morning, so any sympathy is pretty shortlived.

His last GP's was shut down. His wife has just come out of hospital after an operation. He's of Indian descent and we were talking about certain area's going to Tory. We couldn't believe it. He then said 'Well Bradford still Labour because of a Paki in charge' He is racist as fuck towards Muslims. I stopped him and said, wait on, who did you vote for.

I've sat in work this week and listened to some one dimensional cockney cunt spout on about he'll never vote Labour cos he's worked hard all his life. And then the morbidly obese lass talking about how she's seen a homeless bloke in trainers her husband would love, so how can he really be homeless.

I admire anyone who gives that much of a toss 👍 I read an interview with Pidcock where she was saying she could never be friends with a Tory. I get the sentiment, but you can't expect to operate in high level politics, a game that is entirely about compromise, with that even just as your outlook, never mind a thing that you actually say out loud. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
