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

[Thunder Bolt]

As post above - how many other electricity faults/issues that benefit the wider public could have been sorted in the time the engineers and so on spent upgrading the grid for a rich man's second home vanity project?

Burgess Hill had a prolonged power cut yesterday.

No wonder we can’t afford to pay nurses and teachers inflation matching pay increases. There was the £500m to France to pay them for what they used to do when we were in the EU too.

Now, when will they get those tax cuts for our richest citizens sorted next!

13% rise for pensioners this year too, there's money for people that vote Tory.

If you don't vote Tory there's not much, oh and we're make it hard for you to vote too!!

We all get that payrise one day - although if they put back the state retirement age ( my guess: Hunt announces this on Wednesday ) then we have to wait longer to get it.

No money for anyone if the junior doctors get their 35% pay rise.

Hang on plenty of us pensioners have never voted Tory.!

Agree, but mostly they do. Infact I have one of my parents has now ditched them for the first time ever.

Generally without this group they could never win an election.

 

[The Clamp]

Yet more Tory sleaze and corruption.

Plough the f***ing lot of them into a ditch.

Well every single Tory MP voted last night for their disgusting Illegal Immigration Bill.

Every single one of them is complicit. The real neo-fascists waste no time bragging about it.

To be fair, some of them abstained, whether through cowardice or not actually being at work.

Lucky we're all dying off then - to be honest, I really can't see our younger generation voting for a Tory Government - ever.
Well maybe until they get into their 50's

 

[Nobby]

Now then, have they cut that from a longer diatribe - out of context joking?
If not, then he has won the contest hands down for the thickest twat Conservative Vice Chairman of all time!!!

 

[Hotchilidog]

And there you have it. Nothing about improving the lives of people in this country, just the exploitation of prejudice and scapegoats to try and cling on to power. The modern day Conservative Party are not a serious party of government, just a cynical, self-serving bunch of grifters. I hope they get wiped out at the next election.

Maybe the tin foil hat was unnecessary.

The media will get everyone primed and ready. Enid Blyton on the front line.

With GBNews of course

 

[clapham_gull]

Quite how Ofcom haven't stepped in now there are three serving conservative MPs presenting shows on GBTV is beyond me.

Before someone mentions LBC, that's a complete different set up where opinionated presenters are scheduled against each other, although I'd be happier if serving MPs weren't presenting.

It's still in my mind a very odd tactic if the polls are to be believed.

Drag queens or pantomime Dames?

I loved going to pantomimes 70 years ago. Great entertainers like Nat Jackley, Stanley Baxter, Christopher Biggins etc etc
The principal boy was a female, for goodness sake.

Mainstream entertainers like Dame Edna Everage, Danny La Rue, Lily Savage?

Shakespeare had women dressed up as boys.

Where will it all end?

Well it appears the Tories hope it will end in reelection. Just depends on how fully the public buy into it I suppose.

With LBC they've had MP's presenting like David Lammy & Jeremy Hunt but they have to face callers

On Gebeebies there's very little resistance, often just a bunch of people agreeing with each other pushing pro government propaganda.

Ofcom needs to act...
