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

Brexit dividends?

Adulteration of honey with cheap sugar syrup has been exposed in a new investigation by the European Commission, which found 46% of sampled products were suspected to be fraudulent. Ten honey samples from the UK all failed the tests. They may have been blended or packaged in Britain, but the honey probably originated overseas.

This is not the first time tests have suggested that UK shoppers may be being cheated on their honey, though supermarkets say they regularly test honey and audit supply lines.

Just put this here for the quote

The Conservative Party After Brexit by Tim Bale review – why conservatism turned into chaos​

Napoleon was history on a horse. Since the Brexit referendum, Britain has been history in a clown car. We are now on our fifth prime minister in the six tumultuous years since that fateful vote. Some describe this revolving door of chaos as the “Italianisation” of our politics. Many have marvelled at how a country that used to have an international reputation as boringly predictable has so often resembled a banana republic with crap weather.

Good summary of where the right press are on MP second jobs.

89% of all earnings from second jobs are made by Tory MPs

Has our PM been talking to the PM of the only democracy in the Middle East?

It doesn’t surprise me in the slightest. The Tory motto is profit profit profit.

The Tories want the nation addicted to corn syrup (a trade deal with the US would be great), its great for obesity and will be a catalyst to bringing down the NHS....

We buy honey from local beekeepers / honey producers, not the cheap imported shit sold in supermarkets. The UK is the biggest importer of Chinese honey, making up 30% of all imported honey and I dread to think what goes into that muck.

The Tories want the nation addicted to corn syrup (a trade deal with the US would be great), its great for obesity and will be a catalyst to bringing down the NHS....

The conspiracy is afoot. The shadowy illuminati have once again congregated at a clandestine secret location; this time, an unmarked office block in the City of London. Hiding in plain sight. A phone rings;

“What what! How did you get this number old chap?”

The receiver is quickly replaced. An underling is charged to have the phone line immediately disconnected and the phone burnt.

An oddly coiffured blond gentleman lights up a cigarette; his face briefly illuminated. Years of government and extra-marital affairs have taken their toll on his pudgy face. He has seen things the public could never comprehend.

“I say, tally ho, top dodger and all that. What are we going to do for a jolly good wheeze at those ghastly proles next”?

A cloaked figure emerges from the darkness. He has something of the night about him.

“Well, Number One, there is ‘Plan H’…”

The room falls into silence.

“I say old bean, you mean to get Johnny Poorman addicted to corn syrup, so that in the coming decades obesity may eventually rise, putting a strain on that damnable NHS, so that we may privatise as the Lord Satan intended?”

“This is precisely what I mean, Number One. It is the last thing the public would expect.”

Sounds plausible to me!

They'll be issuing despersment orders outside of food banks next

PM’s anti-social behaviour clampdown to include targeting nuisance begging

Extra powers will be given to police and councils to help direct those begging at cash points and shop fronts to health and social services.

Those who support these scum, who used to post on NSC, appear to have run away. Sitting on their hands and hoping for a bright blue tomorrow.

Or posting dog whistle racism in the pit. @carlzeiss. Shame on you. Shame on the lot of them. Weirdos. Ta ra.

Trouble is Harry, those of us who are not scum, but do not inherently share the generally accepted political beliefs of the great and good of NSC, have been vilified along with those the great and good call scum, making it pretty pointless in posting on political threads.
Quite frankly, whilst accepting that the present Government is abysmal, but at the same time, not fully embracing the Labour Party , I just can’t be arsed to post on a thread that gets more hysterical by the minute.

If you read what I wrote (and I paste it below) then unless you are a member of the Johnson/Truss/Sunak government then I did not call you scum. And unless you are a member of team Carlzeiss/wokeworrier/Das Reich, 'whatabout Jeremy Corbyn' gang then you have nothing to get irritable about.

There have always been decent tories, but they seem to be few and far between in this cohort of Tory MPs (the target of my vituperation). There was a great moment when a sufficient number of them stood up against Johnson and pushed him out. But they had better give their heads a proper wobble because if the current investigation exonerates Johnson (on the grounds that he is too stupid to understand his own rules) and he is not barred from political office, he will be back after the next election, ready to save the day.

It is time for decent tories to stand up and be counted. Not simply register the current government as abysmal, note that it is they who will be standing again in a couple of years, look briefly at Labour and remain 'unconvinced about Starmer' and....slink away. Engage!

Harry, I wasn’t suggesting that you were calling me scum. I believe we have exchanged sufficient posts with good humour and tolerance over time realise that neither of us consider the other to be ‘scum’. Nevertheless, the main thrust of my post still stands and that is that on this thread, anyone who is seen to be a Tory has, more often than not, been the subject of scorn. I am not irritable, but I truly cannot be arsed to post in this echo chamber of a thread.
By the way, I think quite number of present Tory MPs will not stand again at the election and others will lose their seats. Hopefully, a new crop will emerge and the party can go off into Opposition and re emerge when they are, once more, fit to govern.
Unlike your goodself, I am not really a political animal and have never contemplated joining a political party, so I will continue to register the current Government as abysmal and try and glean from Starmer et al what they believe in and what a Labour Government may look like.
In the meantime, I am going to ‘slink off’ towards my drinks cabinet and ‘engage’ in a wee dram!
PS. For what it is worth, I do believe that Johnson is dead duck. I am sure most of us can agree that is a good thing.

Indeed. And apologies for any aspersions.

Yes, I am a political handwringer ....

But I fear we have yet to see the back of Johnson yet...

All the best

No need to apologise at all, Harry.
I do hope you are wrong about Johnson. He may linger like a turd infested cockroach after the apocalypse, but I do think he is a spent force as far as public office is concerned and hopefully his influence in public life will continue to diminish and disappear up his fundamental orifice, where most of his best ideas come from.
Best wishes.
