WTF is happening in the UK?

[om15]

I don't have huge respect for any of the Honourable Members, the Tories are on the make for themselves and the Labour Party are in the main pretty unspeakable, however one that I do hold in absolute and complete contempt is Emily Thornberry.

This overweight, unappetising loudmouth is the epitome of a bad tempered remainer, she tried to subvert democracy after the referendum and was videoed jeering at people who live in council houses. Now we are told that she has been promoted to Shadow Home Secretary, is Sir Kia Cars actually a Tory intent on keeping them in power, it appears so.

..and that buffoon Lammy has been made Shadow Foreign Secretary. His diplomatic skills don't even match the mathematical ability of the Abbottopotamus. Tis a bloody frightening thought that the current bunch of Shadow Cabinet incompetents could be running the country in a few short years.... not that the current government is a shining example of competence and integrity.

According to the BBC, Lt Col Lady Nugee has been appointed Shadow Attorney-General.

Lordy! It's a rough time to be a "Labour" supporter!

They are drifting into uncharted waters these days, eventually to sink completely and be entirely forgotten.

Today is St Andrew's day.

It's also the release date of Scotland's only political prisoner, Craig Murray.

[Boac]

In order to be electable, Labour need to abandon the hard left and do 'Blair' again. I don't think this re-shuffle is going to work!

[Pontius Navigator]

Can he get a new deputy leader or simply forget about her?

[G-CPTN]

If the deputy leader is elected by the members, his hands are tied.

[Wodrick]

I saw summat yesterday that as she is elected by the members, same as him, nowt can be done, stuck with her.

[Pontius Navigator]

So option B, forget about her.

This is a better video of the release statement by Craig Murray

Thanks for that link.

It was a very important occasion and I'm unsurprised that he spoke so well.

It's shocking that Scotland has the highest rate, per capita, of imprisonment in Western Europe and that such a high proportion are on remand, ie imprisoned without trial, and that so many who are found guilty eventually receive a sentence of shorter duration than time already served on remand.

That so many are from the underclass who are so ill-served is appalling after such a long dark period of Scottish history under SNP rule. The standards of Education are still going down down down, year after year. That does not bode well for the poor sods who are locked into that revolving door behind where he was standing when he made that semi-impromptu speech.

[AtomKraft]

I don't have time for Blair, but yesterday he warned "Labour" that they need to abandon 'woke'.

As there's sweet zero chance of that, it's clear they are going to be in opposition for a long, long time- right up until they disappear up their own arsehole.


Ya know "Labour", the clue is in your own name.....

[SOPS]

You know what they say… go woke, go broke.

In my local town, Linlithgow, to be called a Black Bitch is an honourable term of respect. Anyone born within the town boundary is entitled to be called and referred to by that honourarium. Alex Salmond, whatever you think of him, is a Black Bitch. My next door neighbour but one is also a Black Bitch. He too happens to be a male and white, but the term is not in the slightest bit racist or sexist.

Now the pub of that name is being forced, by its English landlord, to change the name that it's had since Time Immemorial.

**** nuts!

[PHXPhlyer]

New Name.
Non-reflective Female Dog?

PP

[Undried Plum]

Locally, specifically, to be a Black Bitch has got **** to do with reflectivity or gender or chirality.

It's just a local thing.

We respect Black Bitches, of whatever gender or political allegiances they have.

It's just a local thing of respect.

It's a history thing.

Hard to explain.

The loyalty and the tenacity of the Black Bitch is something to be admired. Not despised, nor dismissed. Just admired and celebrated.

[OFSO]

When I read the expression "to promote diversity" I cringe. Why does "diversity" need "promoting" ?

[Pontius Navigator]

What does it feel like to be 'the first'?

Prime Minister - NR is a possibility.
President - woman less likely
Etc
Do they feel triumph or trepidation?

Is it worse being the second?
PM - we've had a second.

Was rather taken with this today:
