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

[TomandJerry]

Last year the Home Office published an impact assessment saying it would cost the government £169,000 per person to send asylum seekers to Rwanda. Today the IPPR, a centre-left thinktank, has published an analysis claiming that the scheme would now cost £230,000 per person.

I think that there are people in Russia and China who would be interested in the GB News definition of being cancelled.

People have described Jordan Peterson as having been cancelled but you could, although I don't recommend it, spend an entire week listening and watching content in which he whines on and on about not having a platform.

What we seem to have is older white men who are affronted that people have the impertinence to challenge what they say and question their sole right to cancel anyone they choose. A right they had enjoyed for hundreds of years.

Spot-on

Angry, permanently-offended, older white men who proudly attended the school of hard-knocks followed by the university of life, and think that anyone who calmly challenges their racism, sexism, misogyny or homophobia is brutally silencing and oppressing them.

The sort of blokes who tell everyone else to stop being snowflakes and develop some resilience, but who will become aggressive or physically threaten you if you say something they don't like about Brexit or Boris Johnson.

The sort of guys for whom Lee Anderson, Jeremy Clarkson, Jim Davidson, Nigel Farage, Piers Morgan, and Donald Trump are freedom-fighting heroes and role models.

Ben Wallace tells Tories it's too late to replace Sunak and they must 'march towards the sound of the guns'

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Guns? First of all, we withdraw so quickly, we don't protect those who helped us. Then when they make their way across Europe, we threaten to throw them out, and send them to Rwanda.

Disgusting.

Rishi Sunak's government would ban the very boycotts that helped to end apartheid | Peter Hain

A bill now in the Lords is intended to protect Israel from any criticism. It goes further than Thatcher ever did when she tried to stop us protesting to free Nelson Mandela, says former government minister Peter Hain

Plenty of Tories involved with defence companies....

They just lost the vote on the Rwanda Solution. Seems others aren’t as keen to break the law as the Tory’s.

Labour should wave it through

Call their bluff.

There won't be a single plane going

 

[WATFORD zero]

How many racists' votes does £370M buy these days, because I'm sure I could get a better deal than this current lot of incompetent idiots

I can't quite remember why but I once listened to a very long (two? three hours) interview with Jordan Peterson, which was about his mystery illness. Plenty of whining in there.
I listened, so you don't have to

Create a country where nobody feels secure and hope is stripped away from new generations and then tell them to buck up. Nice.

Interesting view of the house of lords exercising the democratic rights of a Sovereign state from a senior Tory and GB News today

House of Lords peers are sneering at the British people and supporting people traffickers, says Jacob Rees-Mogg​

Now we can attack the puffed up panjandrums of the quangocracy who sneer at the British people and support the people traffickers by their actions.

Are there really people stupid enough to keep falling for this ?

No words, start digging

I often think of the role JRM would play in a Fourth Reich and they are not pleasant thoughts.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

That's disgraceful.

'Mental health culture'

I presume this is the new 'playing the race/disability/feminism' card.

What a f***ing bunch of animals. I'd like to see him stride off into a sea of depression, hopefully ending in his suicide.

He would be in there quicker than a rat up a drainpipe if he was offered a peerage.

It really is astonishing.

It would genuinely be cheaper to stand on the beaches of Kent, and hand each new arrival the keys to the house that the loony right like to pretend they all get.

Save the Children says the figures show that the number of children being brought up in relative poverty has risen by 100,000 since the previous year, and has now reached 4.3 million.

It is using the relative poverty after housing costs definition, and it says 30% of children in the UK are poor using this measure. The latest figures cover the financial year ending in 2023.
