Well looks like your man Rishi Sunak will go on unopposed. So here is a poll (again) about Britain
I added an option for saying you don't support him. I understand that it can be hard to 'support' any conservitard no matter the country so the option is there
But how are the plebs feeling? Sick of the clown show? Maybe 3rd times the charm? Or is he just going to keep the seat warm for an inevitable loss next election because people are sick of this parties shit....
-
I saw one debate between him and the lettuce lady. He seems less insane and more measured, definitely more charismatic.
This is the limits of what I know of him. He could also be a total piece of shit.
-
I know nothing about him. But I assume he'll fail because the country is kinda fucked and he's just gonna be there to take the shit that last lady didn't take.

So the person who lost to Liz Truss is set to replace her. This should be good.

Well when you say it like that then you make it look really bad.

That guy who got ligma.

Anywho! I just got back from a break in north Wales for my missus’s birthday, took her ziplining on the fastest in the world and had her sister and family along who are all Tories, the son even works in Westminster, he kept coming in and giving us updates on Liz and the other shower until we pointed out that to us non-tory types, watching the undignified mess that is our ruling party, is akin to observing a horde of rats in a flooding basement scrambling over each other to be the last to drown, so could he please shut the fuck up and come back when they are all dead, because we just don’t give a shit, he was quite shocked.
-
But on the plus side: World beating zip-line! In your face, world!

You really are a genuinely gifted writer.

This! Also Castles, more castles per square mile in Wales than Westeros.
You really are a genuinely gifted writer.
I bet you say that to all the boys.

I only say things I mean. It gave me such a vivid image of the scene I could see the wet hair on the rats back.
The best writers can paint a scene better than an artist, for me personally.

Sunak it is. Now he just have to stay longer than 44 days.

Sounds like the beauty of North Wales worked wonders on your stress levels.
How many weeks do you think it'll be until we have an election?

I tend to be in my most happy state when I am one comment away from pointing out somebody's potential sexual relationship with their mother, this has the added bonus of keeping my Christmas card list to a minimum along with a zero chance of unannounced visitations. On holiday I chill a bit.
I think there is a good chance the Tories will cling on without going to the country as they are surely aware that the only people who could lose to them would be convicted child killers in an ice cream van.
-

Nothing is forcing them for 2 years, especially as they have a large majority still. Can't imagine we'll see one before then.
-
Wow! Such a historic day.
Just think about it. There are many babies born in the last 6 weeks that have never known a Britain where Truss wasn't the Prime Minister.

Me too! It needs to get worse before it gets any better! Keep away from cities! Stack gold and silver! Stack long life food and drink! Buy guns and ammunition! Hug your friends and families! The storm is near!

I thought they were exaggerating about his speech sounding like a robot but honestly the actual robot they brought into their parliament the other day sounded like it had more personality than this guy.

On Rishi.
With the press, the ones that clapped the NHS workers for working and dying during the pandemic, now saying that they, the postal workers, the train drivers, the border guards and the ambulance drivers that are striking this christmas are taking the taxes from the hard working (irony deficit) workers of Britain, backed by an unelected asshole who made his money in offshore tax free hedge funds, whose wife took non-domicile status to dodge £400million in taxes so the poor must carry the burden.

You're not a bad person Jura.

Is this irony? The truth as you see it? A meme of some sort? I will take it at face value because then my ego is placated, and the true spirit of Yuletide can flow.
I despair for my country, born when I was, we appeared to have begun the trek away from the gentry and the class system, but it was a hollow dream, the vast estates with people pinned beneath the expectation of servitude to Lord and Lady Bucktooth and their inbred haemophiliac offspring has morphed into a neoliberal nouveau-riche venality where the sense of entitlement comes not from the crest above the door or the old cavalry uniforms in the east-wing, but the offshore accounts buying the same school places, holidays in St Morritz and the black centurion or the Dubai first Royalle credit card approach to life, vis-à-vis, I have it, I deserve it and I’m going to keep it.
Old piles with their roots in the slave trade have new owners, with theirs in the new postmodern slave systems of emergent economies and zero-hour contracts and the true Irony is that many of the reforms were enacted by the likes of the Earls of Shaftsbury’s, wealthy philanthropists working with the Unionised workers on hours, holidays, and healthcare, all these are now under threat again from the shiny faced Saville suited infinitely corruptible, reading from the bible of Gordon Gecko.
-
This reminds me of the recent rail strike in the US. I don't know exactly what conservative media said about it. But I recall what the "liberal" media said about it. They said if a strike occurred that it would cripple the economy, that Christmas would be canceled, that it would hurt Joe Biden.
What they never said, what never was presented as a viable resolution to this, is to just give into the demands of the workers. They always framed it like the workers were causing trouble all the trouble.
-
And then he (Joe the betrayer) forcibly broke the strike giving them one day payed sick leave and people there call him left wing?
-
Yeah, this sort of thing is why I think of the democrats as basically being pre Reagan Republicans.

Hey, watch out Jura, I think D1 has the hots for you. He keeps trying I'll give him that.
-
Jura is an old man, my robot friend.
Like me.

Fuck that with the old man shit D1, I may not be able to jump on the table from a standing start anymore, but I can get down off one with reasonable grace, and there are still stories whispered around the Quilting and Crocheting circles that would raise your eyebrows sonny, so if you don’t want a visit from the third age ninjas, keep your ageist crap to yourself!

You always cheer me up and make me laugh.

Anyway, all that aside Rishi is a cunt, all of them pushing the NHS to the edge of a precipice because they cannot abide the fact that they or their friends are not making a killing from the sick, calling strikers including the nurses who haven't done so in living memory, virtual killers because faced with the imminent destruction of a service that attracts those who dedicate themselves to others, the politicians, a career that draws the vilest of the self-serving, have the temerity to strut their false moral high ground with the help of the press, allowed by these bloodsuckers to be overrun by corporate whores and oligarchs, I despise him/them.

The attacks on healthcare workers now has been the most sickening display of hypocrisy since the pandemic was formerly declared over by politicians.
I would happily see you in a position of leadership. I'm quite sure all your talk of ethnic cleansing in the UK is for show and I trust that your empathy would win out.
Jesus had very hash words for politicians particularly. God actually holds kings to a higher standard than average men. Which is fitting. To whom much is given, much is expected. I am trying to do better.
As you say most paramedics got into their job because they want to help people. The same obviously can't be said about our "public servants."

Ladies and gentlemen- Rishi Sunak, man of the people.

This wanker worked at Goldman Sachs, he’s already been caught out when his wife saved 100’s of millions in tax declaring she was non-domicile in the UK, while living at 10 Downing Street.
Weeks before he announced 100’s of new drilling rights to be allowed in the North Sea, his father-in-law’s firm signed a billion pound deal with BP and now in a scheme to encourage people to become childminders, where breaks were allocated if you signed on to 6 government listed childcare services, thus giving those firms tax payers money and vastly increasing their revenue, he didn’t know he had to declare his wife was a shareholder in one of those firms.
We are mugs being mugged.
And these cunts, say it was inadvertent.

Man of the people?

I must admit that somewhere, somewhen, I have let my grasp of what is going on in the world slip somewhat. Gone are the days where the musings of Jura were treated as venerated offerings of a guru plugged into the zeitgeist, now they are seen as the demented ramblings of an out of touch Trotskyist throwback.
Take the current Tory party conference, where Liz Trust isn’t derided as the biggest disaster in political history, whose brief tenure had the economic effect akin to that of letting loose a wounded Rhino in a Buddhist creche but as a visionary, where Reece Mogg is a thing and not an escaped Dickensian villain plotting the rendering of children’s bones for glue and Nigel Farage (the drinking man’s incontinent uncle) isn’t punched on sight.
A party who having 13 years of power cannot make a list that contains one of their achievements that were good for the country, who partied through the lock downs, lined their own and the pockets of friends with tax payers money while their media fan-boys cheered the dissolution of democracy and conned the undereducated idiot masses that it was all the fault of war damaged people risking their lives crossing continents and seas hoping for a better life in a country that no longer exists, or the nurses and public servants eking out stagnant wages to feed their families as the gap between rich and poor reached the stage where the rich could happily announce they could no longer glimpse them staggering in their wake.
The party that echoes to the singing of “Land of hope and glory” but can’t emulate the Victorians in building even one rail link to the north that gets further than Birmingham, and that at a cost of £71 billion, that’s £710 million/mile.
An actual government policy Net-zero was rolled back as the domain of “net zero zealots”, who are more worried about newts than house building, that would be the former tory governments of Boris and May then, and the twat that stymied a bill to reduce the amount of people eating junk food, the anti-obesity strategy as he believes in peoples right to choose is incrementally going to ban smoking, secure in the knowledge that by then the tobacco industry will have hooked kids onto vaping, but it sounds right and profits are protected.
Fuck me. If anyone I know votes for these bastards I will cut them off at the knees, I am no longer available as a peaceful guru.
-
Yep. Tories appear to a finally lost whatever plot they once had. Nothing ever their fault apparently.
Truss is an absolute joke. A free marketeer who can only blame the freedom of the market to react badly to her shit budget. Why she was even allowed to speak is beyond me, let alone the crowds who went to see her.
I worries me that so many on the left spend all their time complaining that Labour aren’t left enough though. While none of those are likely to vote Tory, they might well not vote or vote for a party with no chance of taking their seat.
Vote tactical.
