Stop voting for fucking Tories

[tabascoboy]

Poor Africa, is he really the best (or only?) candidate?

[tc27]

Disagree with that - Labour are locked out of power by the rise of the SNP. They won't win enough English seats to compensate and a coalition with the SNP drives voters to the Tories.

Agree that the decline of Labour Unionism is bad news for the British nation and is linked to the decline of the heavy and national industries. I think the increasing London upper middle class clientele of the Labour Party is an underrated factor - these are the people who spend most of their lives pretending to be Irish or Scottish and are the inheritors of Orwell's 'more ashamed of standing to attention during 'God save the King' than of stealing from a poor box'. Labour leadership wasn't always like that of course:

I think the route to power for Labour is possibly a minority government with a confidence and supply agreement with the Lib Dems. No formal agreement is needed with the SNP simply the understanding that money bills are defacto confidence votes and if one fails it will lead to an election effectively leaves them trapped by their own rhetoric.

Border Force staff who enact Priti Patel’s plans to “ push back” migrant boats in the Channel could be given immunity from conviction if a refugee dies, officials have confirmed.
The home secretary is seeking to introduce a provision in the nationality and borders bill that could give officials legal protections in the event that someone drowns.
Whether the provision, tucked away in an obscure corner of the bill, would actually protect officers from conviction under international maritime laws could be tested in the courts.

More Labour scumminess. What is it about the Leicester East constituency that ends up with MP's like her and Vaz

An MP has been accused of threatening to use acid against a woman she believed to be in a relationship with her partner, a court has heard.
Claudia Webbe, 56, allegedly became “obsessed” with Michelle Merritt due to her friendship with the Leicester East MP’s partner, Lester Thomas.
Webbe also threatened to reveal naked photographs and videos she supposedly had of Merritt to her family, Westminster magistrates court heard on Monday.
Webbe, who was elected as a Labour MP but has since had the whip withdrawn, denies the charge.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/ ... dia-webbw

Guilty as charged!!!
By election in Leicester East fairly soon then?

An MP has been found guilty of harassment and is expected to face demands to stand down from her seat.
Claudia Webbe, the independent MP for Leicester East, was accused of carrying out a campaign of harassment through unwanted telephone calls against Michelle Merritt, a female friend of her partner. She allegedly called Merritt a slag, threatened an acid attack and said she would distribute naked pictures of Merritt to her family.

This could see the return of the detestable Keith Vaz, who will be hoping the voters of Leicester East will ignore his previous record of corruption scandals, providing drugs for rent boys and sustained and unpleasant bullying, as they have done in the past.

You have to wonder what Leicester has done to deserve MPs like Vaz and Webbe?

That’s what I like about this forum: genuine hatred of Tory wrongdoing doesn’t preclude posts about how shitty Labour is.

And I’m sure that even-handedness applies to the delightful SNP too.

I'm with the bear on this one. Without Scotland, hard to see how Labour could win again barring
- some catastrophic, own goal gerrymandering by the Tories
- some sustained catastrophic governing by the Tories. Ahhhh. Wait. Maybe the electorate might wake up.

Indeed, but it seems like adding insult to injury for Labour to foist its most venal and stupidest MPs on the constituency.

However, why change the title of the thread? It makes absolutely no difference whatsoever what is said on this forum, and there's plenty of reasons to call this Government scum. Plenty of them are awful people judging by the shit they say and support, the policies they enact (or try to enact) are often deliberately malicious, and their handling of the pandemic has caused a vast amount of suffering.

Agree with your overarching point - no need to change strongly held beliefs and statements due to this sort of disgusting violence. It’d just be a meaningless symbol.

I do hope though that it may trigger a thought that the majority of MPs (Tory or otherwise) are just normal people living faulty lives like the rest of us.

Naming an entire party scum undermines the sentiment, as it’s clearly nonsensical. Calling it government scum would be more accurate for me, but you guys have your beliefs and so express them however you see fit.

RIP to the MP - thoughts to his poor family and anyone witnessed this cuntery

Shocking news, as a backbencher well out of the limelight not likely to be someone you'd think would be a target - not that any MP should be of course. There's no way each and every MP should need protection while doing their work in a decent society. Random nutter I guess and good that they arrested him to be treated as a common murderer. Condolences to his family.

I'd certainly be happy if the thread title was more neutral in tone as the bad 'uns are by no means limited to one party.

The Guardian are reporting that counter-terrorism police have been called in:

“counter-terrorism police are assisting the investigation into the stabbing, which is being led by Essex police. Senior counter-terrorism officials are monitoring the situation closely and are being updated on emerging details of the attack and the suspect. Counter-terrorism police will usually stay involved in such an investigation until a non-terrorist motive is identified.”

Amess would have been anti-abortion because he was a Roman Catholic, rather than a “pro-life extremist”.
