Just seen the Banks letter. As if I didn't already think he was a massive wanker, he signs off his letter 'Over and out'. GET IN THE BIN.
This is how literally every speech ever is written. You create a narrative and find examples afterwards to prove that narrative. What about if Lauren from Altrincham doesn't want to appear in the media or doesn't want her name being used or it's found out that while it is sad that her benefits have been taken away she also recites Himmler to her kids. If the narrative is true then you find someone else who proves your narrative. It's Communications 101.
Andy Burnham being a joke is my chosen narrative, so shut up.
Well it's true so you can instead pretty much anything he's ever said publicly instead.
The Arron Banks party is going to be some Americanised load of OUTRAGEOUS shit isn't it? Hopefully he wastes millions on it.
Nicola wants the question to be 'Should the brave Scot set the mountains and vales free from the bloodthirsty Tory Brexit London Westminster English government?' so you should run that through a poll before drawing any conclusions.
I doubt the electoral commission would let them away with what they got up to in 2014.
25-49 seems too wide an age range to lump together.
It captures you quite nicely.
:D
Fuck.
As I remember the story, he 'necked a can' in the back of a car on the motorway.Quote:

Hammond is going to climb down on the NIC stuff. lol. Fucking incompetence from top to bottom, left to right, government to opposition. The world is fucked because we're run by charlatans.
It was a good change as far as I can see. The self-employed media lobby strikes again.
It should be nice to think that the government is unable to increase the tax take, but they're equally as unable to reduce spending significantly, so basically we're France now. Ugh. Anyway, at least Marine A has got away with shooting that bloke for a positive news leader.
The backbenchers were sent out to defend it, and only agreed (apparently) providing they didn't u turn on it. It was a sensible economic measure too, so fuck knows how we're ever expected to get anything unpalatable through if there's an outcry over something as relatively trivial as this.
On a separate note, I think Jez delivered about the least competent performance you're ever going to see today. It's not really very funny anymore.
Although in saying that, Hammond is fucking dreadful.
Gove would be a great Chancellor. He'd just start smashing shit left, right, and centre as he tried to reform it.
He'd be just as terrible. The leader of the Conservatives is absolutely terrified of what the papers think about her. Any time you made a move slightly different to Paul Dacre's opinion, you'd be sacked/forced to say 'Its all my fault and Theresa had nothing to do with it.'
She's a coward and a charlatan.
The alternate history Johnson/Gove government is the one.
They're all shit, but putting a no tax increase in the manifesto is stupid. At some point, everybody in the country is going to have to face the music. There's a big, continuing budget deficit to fund current expenditure. You are either going to raise taxes or cut spending, because it can't go on indefinitely. The top 1% are already paying about 28% of the tax intake, and we're near the historical tipping point of tax base to GDP, so you can't squeeze them much more.
If *Labour* seethe over an NIC increase where lower earners are protected simply because it's the Tories introducing it, and the Tories don't have it in them to see a sensible economic measure through because of adverse publicity we're in bother.
It's not the papers, it's the back benches. She'll be wanting to keep them sweet at all costs over the coming years (which strikes me as pointless, because they will roast any perceived weakness on Europe regardless), and nobody outside of lobby journalism cares about u-turns at all, so fuck it chuck Charisma Hammond under the bus.
The 1922 committee apparently made it clear it wouldn't fly, but you suspect that was partly due to the backlash. The backbench, in general, (seemingly) were prepared to go out and support it on the sole provision it didn't get chucked later.
I also like the theory that they see Hammond as the only remain figure not fully on board so want to nobble him. Post-Brexit, we're probably at the stage now where the dreaded 'Tory Right' is so-called because it gets everything right, so it might be best to let things take their course.
The SEETHE coming out of Scotland. :drool:
It's alright lads, they've got it sorted.
On top of the 8 billion quid he's getting from Black Rock for doing nothing, ol' George has got himself a new job as Editor in Chief of the Evening Standard. He'll still pretend to be an MP while working both these jobs. lol.
His Midlands seat vanishes in the boundary review, so he's probably off.
This country is so fucked up. It's favouring of the rich elite few is beyond comprehension.
Osborne is aledgedly paid 650k per anum by Blackrock for effectively 48 days of work. Absolute bollocks.
The next inevitable financial crash is definitely gonna give us some of that sweet, sweet, communism. Playing the long game. :cool:
Do you think they'll need their digital media presence managed?
Is communism the answer?Quote:

Anyone else noticed Sturgeon now being very careful in saying 'will of the Scottish parliament' and not 'will of the Scottish people' as she was all too happy to bleat every other day.
So much for her proclaiming the majority of Scots would have to want another referendum before considering one.
I've moved on to lolling at Tim Farron (not that you ever really stop lolling at Tim Farron). The bizarre little cunt.
Why are all the politicians around now just absolute helmets? They're all just useless
Tim Farron is uniquely dreadful. It's a bit of a shame to see the successor of the Whigs, Peelites, and the original Liberal party reduced to the fucking state it is.

The man is a proper British hero.
He really is great.
Aaaaaaand we're done (at one point you would have said he planned this all along).
Lord Tebbit.
:cool:
I can only imagine the lols being had chez Gideon at that article.
He will have been perfecting that for decades.Quote:

The organisation was so infiltrated with informers that its ability to wage a campaign of any kind was seriously hindered. The only way still open of advancing the republican agenda of unification was through political means. If they thought there was still considerable traction in violent means, we'd still be going through checkpoints to get into the city centre.
