The Inflated ego of Norfolk #Tory County Council leader Kay "Will of the People" Mason Brillig (and the Slithey Goves) reckons she's Foreign Secretary now, signing meaningless bits of paper, but it's clear which local airhead put such grandiose notions into her head.
They blather about hoping to boost business, having burned our Single Market links to existing twin towns Rouen (that's France, Kay) & Koblenz (Germany).
The Daily Heil doesn't approve of our choices of elected representatives.
This fash-rag supported the Nazis, and evidently nothing has changed except the first name of the Rothermere-of-the-day.
This front page is (yet another) subversion of our democracy, demonstrating that the time has come to take the UK print press out of the hands of press-baron "proprietor" oligarchs, in favour of Boards of Trustees.
This beautiful bank holiday, there is state-sponsored fear stalking our nation, with moral incubus failed squatter #Sunak at the epicentre of it. Faced with summary arrest & abduction for following the rules, thousands have no option but to go underground. Civilised Britons must offer them assistance, as some Dutch citizens did, in another time, until the evil has been swept away. #EnglishNationalistsOut
Brazilian rent boy : "Help Mama, i'm in England, in the clutches of a predatory exploitative middle-aged hypocritical saddo - he says he wants a 'donation' to the following bank account..."
The 'dangerous escalation' in #Ukraine is the Russians have taken Bakhmut Avdiivka & moving on Ghasiv Yah, Ukrainian troops are tired & lack shells missiles & aircraft, & power plants are being pulverised. When Russia fully occupies Ukraine, more young men will be conscripted into Russian army, & Putin will move on non-nuclear armed Baltics & Poland, secure under his tactical & intermediate nuclear umbrella. Timorous uninspiring men like #Cameron Sunak & Shapps not fit. #EnglishNationalistsOut
Iranian weapons are putting out the lights in Ukraine and have effectively closed the Suez canal to international commercial shipping. Meanwhile FakeLord Dave Greensill is dispatched by aeroplane on behalf of oil companies to intercede on behalf of the Hangmen Mullahs, and gets it wrong, yet again. #Cameron #EnglishNationalistsOut
"Lord" Cameron is an unelected placeman appointee. Even when on occasion his notoriously weak judgment aligns with wise counsel, he is standing testament to the unfitness of our political system for the 21st century. He will be out of office at or about November, and his courtship of failed ex-President Trump, who is NOT in office and cannot conceivably be before Cameron is ejected, is nothing more than Bullingdon effrontery to the UK Government in waiting. #EnglishNationalistsOut
Old Farts Club of Covent Garden offering discount rates for the limited remaining period of its solvency.
As they wonder what happened, #Brexit is what happened. They & their kind conspired to confiscate the right of free movement & European citizenship rights of two nations & 16 million dissenting intelligentsia, or tamely acquiesced in or facilitated it, & simultaneously set ticking a countdown to the dissolution of their familiar clubbable old order.
Tory Rwanda wheeze turns on their intent to deport asylum applicants without processing their applications. They simply legislate away all legal process; no application, no assessment, no tribunal, no appeals. Politicians willing to legislate to evade the due process of law won't stop there.They abuse their privileged position as lawmakers to exclude the jurisdiction of the Court. Thank every deity under the sun it will be the Tories who won't be here this time next year
The heady days of ruble-fuelled oligarch brown nosing and City of London snout-troughing by every profession from estate agents to lawyers may be gone, and it wasn't so long ago since the Daily Telegraph was pushing out its monthly supplement "Russia Beyond", but i wonder whether the "Conservative Friends of Russia" sent a message of congratulation to their Putron?
Gove thinks he has set a conceptual trap. One so blindingly obvious, the only aspect worth pointing out is his vanity: how smart he thinks himself & how foolish must be his opponents.
Vote Leave wasn't smart, Gove, and no amount of slathering your gollum-like frame in apple pie will mask the stench of your folly.
Sputtering Conservative catherine-wheel phuts out another culture war ember, requiring the National Broadcaster to feature it with top-billing, and who's actually listening any more?
Get lost Gove.
Persons who applaud this Tory "quashing" law, implicitly acknowledge Sunak 's claim to the power to direct his government and party to legislate to "quash" his own conviction and fine for criminal breach of covid lock-down regulations.
Such people would be forced into attempting to (as we lawyers have it) "distinguish" the Post office convictions from the partygate convictions, but such efforts would be hollow. The substance would be identical.
As #Tories hector & denigrate their way to electoral obliteration, a root cause of their authoritarian tendencies is theorised: Sunak now suspected of monorchidism, Cameron of microorchidism, and Weasel-in-Chief Gove, notwithstanding his propensity for talking total balls, of anorchidism.
Hunt : "Non-dom tax regime, for UK residents to be replaced with [unparticularised] new rules from April 2025.." [that is not less than three months after i have been ejected from office along with my fellow ministers & most of my fellow MPs].
Hah!
Pathetic. They did nothing about it for 14 years, then leave trying to commit their successors.
Are we all enjoying filling out our Gove declarations?
Routine PRIVATE correspondence to a relative in Belgium enclosing some papers.
Now, under instructions from English Nosy Nationalists, Post office counter clerks are obliged to ask "what sort of papers?"
Paper f#cking papers Gove! Mind your own goddamned business you incontinent rubber-faced Vote Leave creep.
Starmer has called the Gaza catastrophe, as it has evolved, wrong. If that is the message to him from the respected Electors of Rochdale, i'd get it. I fear however some of them were simply mesmerised by celebrity & charisma. We'll find out soon enough, within months, at GE.
Continuing dismal showing for Tories is good news.
Maybe Chancellor Hunt, in his budget speech next week, can explain to UK taxpayers why using their money to subsidise the construction in Antwerp of #Brexit cheerleader Jim Ratcliffe's company Ineos 's giant factory, turning shale gas from the US into ethylene, represents meaningful 'export' from the UK, such that it can qualify for export-credit guarantee?
What do we imagine we are exporting, (apart from our pollution)? Profligacy? Arrogance? Perversity? #EnglishNationalistsOut
A refugee of my wife's acquaintance hasn't come to English class for three weeks. My wife called to find out more. The person has been suffering from agonising toothache and cannot get treatment, because she has no money to pay privately and has no access to an NHS dentist. She has been placed on a waiting list by a local assistance charity. This is not right. Spiteful & petty persecution of such people to suit #Tory dogma is both revolting & self-defeating. #EnglishNationalistsOut
If the Tories find themselves weary of the audible & visible expressions of widepread discontent, let them reflect that when they said "F#ck U" from June 2016 onwards to 17m dissenting citizens including two entire constituent nations of the United Kingdom, they earned every last decibel & syllable of it, alongside the ENDURING contempt of the intelligent portion of their electorate. Time to take your electoral medicine Toryboys & girls, & follow your own advice of 2016.
The Palace of Westminster is a place of work. If MPs legislate that they can't be lobbied outside Parliament, then where else can they be lobbied? Protests outside Parliament are a feature of our democracy & a civil right established by long useage. If snowflake Tory MPs (and make no mistake, it IS Tories agitating for this in the closing weeks of their tenure) can't handle it, don't be an MP. What has been "corrosive" in politics is the relentless assault on dissent.
Affluent 'seniors' hanging on the expectation of Chancellor dilated hyperactive gym-bunny Hunt 's 'giveaway' on Inheritance Tax in March have forgotten or forgiven the unbridled deceit of Johnson 's 2019 manifesto pledges to "create a National Care Service" and to "cap the amount a local authority can deduct from house-value to recoup care home fees".
Getting "had" once may be regarded as a misfortune.
Allowing oneself to be had again would simply prove the point.
Soon enough this know-nothing English Nationalist Defence Secretary with not a day of military service to his credit will be demoted by the British Electorate to plain old Grunt Shapps and he can while out his days getting "furious" about wokeness while pairing his socks.
