[Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

Harry Wilson's tackle said:

I honestly have no idea.

There is f*** all any of the parties can do about it anyway, and any proselytizing is just sanctimonious dog whistling for purposes of vote harvesting.

Just to illustrate the absurdity of the 'Team Palestine' and 'Team Israel' activists, one of the Israeli government (a member of an extremist party) has accused Biden of being a lover of Hamas. Why? For declining to flog the Israelis some very heavy duty war munitions that can destroy organs at 300 metres from the bomb's epicenter - for use on the streets of Rafa. FFS.

Meanwhile I forget which side is accusing Starmer of being a 'war criminal' for something or other. Was it for failing to say that if he were PM he would lead British Forces into a single handed mission to (something, something)? Or was it for not demanding the boycott the sale of Star of David jewelry?

I really am not interested in the opinion of the blowhard special pleaders. It was bad enough listening to the Palestinian spokeswanka (mere days after Hamas went mad, and hours after Israel started smiting) insisting that he refused to discuss the events that initiated it all, becuse the only think that mattered was the hundreds (as it was then) of dead Palestinians, crushed under the boot of Nazi Israel, for no justifiable reason.

I think it was at that point that I lost interest in the whole thing, re-engaging only when the Palestinian dead hit the tens of thousands. Tens of thousands. What the actual f***?

With these lunatics on the loose in the mid east I couldn't give a tiny shit what the Liberals and the Greens think about it. If they have the temerity to say anything at all it simply reflects their delusions of relevance.

Harry Wilson's tackle said:

Well I like the narrative (that a right wing tory gave Sunk the maximum possible "f*** OFF" before f***ing off herself). She is not contesting the seat. Under those circumstances it would have been petty and peevish for Starmer to tell her to do one.

I'm sure the extreme left and extreme right will attempt to weaponize this against labour, but everyone I spoke to at a lunch today (one Old Labour, one New Labour and two erstwhile Tories) all thought it was a terrific wheeze, and yet another nail in this disgraceful government's coffin.

(and this topic occupied no more than 2 minutes of a 150 minute lunch session).

Why's that then?

He's not obliged to accepts her into the party. Telling an unsuitable character to go elsewhere isn't peevish or petty, it's principled!

She would have done almost as much damage to the Tories by defecting to Reform.

Harry Wilson's tackle said:

They are not rivals, so who would have noticed.

Had she decided to stand in the GE for reform, she may have pinched some tory votes. Maybe.

So, er, yeah, I guess you're right. But she's not standing anyway, so... m'eh

Harry Wilson's tackle said:

Who is 30P?

Harry Wilson's tackle said:

I seem to recall....was he the absolute melt that claimed he could start an internet wank business for 30 P and still get a taxi home to his mum? Or something.

f***ing arse wipes the lot of them, Tory MPs of the current intake.

Dead to me.

I've not been following the Gaza issue closely. What's the Tory / LD stance? That is - are Muslim voters just staying away, or voting for other parties?

Greg Bobkin said:

No, he was the token working class northerner in the cabinet who paid his mate 30p to act as a 'random stranger' when he went knocking on doors beefier the election.

Thunder Bolt said:

He didn’t pay his mate but did set him up, forgetting he was still miked up.

The 30p label came from him telling working class people they could cook a nutritious meal for 30p. The fact that he was in an industrial kitchen with chefs batch cooking, was beside the point.

I know. I was taking the piss because I thought @Harry Wilson's tackle was too.
