I've got a theory with Sunak, it's kind of a "i've married a billionaire, I need to show the family i've married into i've got some status to offer" type thing

Infosys have certainly benefited from the government.

Quite.

He’s a sop and a fawner. Being PM, he’ll have all sorts of important people buzzing around him for what they can get. Him being a pathetic people pleaser is only too chuffed to oblige so he feels popular.

They’ll drop him like a bad habit the morning after the next GE.
They won't drop him. He'll drop himself straight off to California.

Surprise surprise ! It seems several quite iconic newspapers can find no room on their front pages today to report the current Tory racism scandal.

I wondered why Rwanda was back on the news agenda

"Grunt Schnapps Attacks Putin".

Putin replies

"What is a Grunt Schnapps?"

Michael Gove wants to use parliamentary privilege to name groups under his new definition of extremism, despite government lawyers warning him about the legal implications of doing so.
There will be no appeal if you are labelled an extremist group.

This thread is very thought provoking.

The Tories are an extremist group, it could come back to haunt them....

Absolutely but the sub question is HOW one exercises that right. Has 21st century society lost the ability to debate without being overly 'offended' or by being overly 'aggressive' (whether by use of hateful words or hateful actions)?

This in spades, from all sides of the political spectrum when it comes to social media “discussion”.

But the big problem right now though is it’s the bloody government and their paymasters rhetoric being directly racist rather than snide insinuation. The Tories are getting desperate. Their “plausible deniability” has evaporated.

At least Starmer is slowly getting the scumbags, racists and ridiculed out (Ali, Abbott, Corbyn losing the whip). In the current day Tory party it gets you in the cabinet.

The government is having an absolute mare with this latest blunder. No amount of money is worth what they’ve having to try and dance around.

I’m confused:

Tories - “We are opposed to Cancel Culture and insist that free-speech is sacrosanct. Instead of being easily offended snowflakes, people need to become more tolerant and resilient.”

Tories - “We consider many views that we disagree with, and those who hold such views, to be extremist or undemocratic, and we will therefore ban them.” 😳

I does depend what that is though.

For example, Hester had no right to say what he said.

But mostly from one side. Let's face it :shrug:
