    The UK Politics Thread [Wot did Jez do now...]

    Right...might as well get the old threads back up and get some discussion going.

    This is for UK politics.

    John McDonnell was good on Question Time last night, wasn't he?

    I found him a little annoying actually.

    Less than Sandi though, why does absolutely everything have to resort to women's rights this and equality that.

    Following Comrade Corbyn's storming leadership success I have become a fully paid up member of the Labour Party.

    He was reasonable enough but benefitted from the Conservative's failure to put on one of their big guns against him. I have no idea why they failed to do this.

    I thought Alex Salmond was the best panellist, perfectly articulating the problems Labour might have with Jeremy Corbyn as leader. Interestingly, when I type "Jeremy" into Google UK, he is ahead of both Jeremy Clarkson and Jeremy Kyle in the listings. He is obviously attracting a lot of interest.

    I too thought McDonnell was good, surprisingly so.

    I've flipped on this over the last couple of/three weeks, in that I think Corbyn might do ok now vs. the expectations.

    I thought he got away with what he really thinks by apologising for it.

    The book, co-written by the journalist Isabel Oakeshott, alleges that Cameron knew in 2009 that Ashcroft had non-dom tax status. When a row about this blew up just before the 2010 election, the prime minister claimed only to have been aware about it for a month.

    The biography also makes claims about Cameron’s alleged exploits at university, saying an MP had seen photographic evidence that he put a private part of his body into a dead pig’s head as part of a dining club initiation ritual.

    A friend from university also said Cameron smoked cannabis with him occasionally while listening to Supertramp as part of a group called the Flam Club.
    Says a lot about his background and how removed it is from reality in my view.

    Also lol pigs.

    I agree with this.

    I don't think these Cameron revelations will have too much impact on the Conservative's popularity. Even if Cameron is completely discredited, he is not standing as their leader at the next election anyway.

    He's not going to be discredited. The Bullingdon club stuff already marks him down as a piece of shit and not relatable to 90% of the electorate but clearly the wider public aren't that bothered.

    It's not like it's particularly new. You'd hardly have been surprised by revelations he indulged in a game of soggy biscuit. The stuff we know about George Osborne is seedier anyway and nobody seems to care about that.

    Personally leaving your wife for Dianne Abbott ranks up there with commissioning concentration camps.

    It's definitely funny and pretty embarrassing for him, I just don't think there will be many political implications.

    He really has.

    I'm not even implying there will be political implications. He fucked a dead pig in the mouth. It's been reported everywhere too. He'll be going to meet other international leaders and they'll know he's had his dick in a dead pig's head. It's the best thing ever.

    You all think I'm a miserable fucker all the time. In this case I thought it so fucking obvious that it was funny that I just responded to five_time and Martin's conversation rather than adding a redundant grindot.

    Basically, fuck the lot of you.

    This place is bloody brilliant, if you genuinely think I'm miserable you're misjudging my tone.

    I must do. I do find it amusing to be perceived in that way as I thought I'd been very positive about this place, barring my one half-joking thread the other night.

    Now you're just sounding upset that I didn't hold your hand and frolic around in laughter when you posted this story.

    If only it was Sturgeon sucking off a bit of roadkill we'd see the e-Version of Stalingrad develop.

    That he is/was a cokehead and spent time with a dominatrix.

    Perhaps 'seedier' is the wrong word, given sticking your cock in a dead animal is completely fucked up.

    To be fair, none of this will seem seedy at all to Hammer.

    If Jeremy Corbyn had put his dick in a pigs mouth, it'd be headline news all over the media and he'd be getting hammered.

    He could have had ten years of success out of that joke, yet I'm the one without a job.

    I thought he might be into getting the shit kicked out of him. He's got a certain anxiety about him which suggested to me he'd be the sort.

    Depends on how he went about it really. For some reason I find paying for it under the cover of darkness a lot more seedy than just meeting someone and exploring it with them for the fun of it.

    I want a book full of all these stories covering all Prime Ministers, to be honest. John Major probably strangled a horse and the wore it home just for the fun of it.
