DT Politics Thread

Seems ConDems have crashed down south as expected with Labour making pretty big gains. 

Be interesting to see how things pan out in Scotland but presumably given it is STV there won't be any councils where a party has overall control.  Apparently heading for the lowest turnout in years up here but then you'd hardly know there was an election on where I stay.  No posters or billboards and I only got one leaflet through my door which was Tory, which is bizarre given in my ward I'd imagine they'd do well to get even 4th on 1st preference never mind get anywhere near a seat.

 

Don't suppose it means much so far away from a GE but already had Tory MPs demanding Callmedave is more right wing after UKIP success in the south and comedy figure Lebit Opik demanding Nick Clegg resigns as leader of the Lib Dems (but seemingly stay on as Deputy PM).

Also glad to see that so far nobody has voted in favour of Mayors in various English cities. Total waste of time and money and nothing more than a celebrity driven ego trip (see B. Johnston and K. Livingston)

I will not set foot in Spain again.

 

Exactly what the wife and I said yesterday. They never thought about that in Madrid.

Tories invoking the war twice in a day. Grayling describing the repatriation of Monarch customers as "the biggest peace time effort", whilst Hammond says the same about Brexit negotiations. Is this their new "strong and stable", or "hardworking ordinary people" slogan? Seems a bit limited if it is. Fucking weird nevertheless, are they trying to instill some sort of nationalist pride over a shitey airline and a total fuck up of a political decision? Sinister cunts like.

Aye, you know when they start going on about the Dunkirk spirit there’s trouble ahead.

 

If they announce a royal wedding or anything like then beware.

We also got Dod Osbourne's "northern powerhouse" yesterday. They've not come oot with that een fer a filie.

 

They're so see through and stupid too. Invoking the northern powerhouse is not an intelligent strategy for a number of reasons: -

 

It is by it's very nature an acknowledgment of the north/south divide.

 

Nobody believes it. It's like these two words are designed to make the NE and the NW forget about the chronic lack of investment.

 

It originally came from a particularly vile and insidious public schoolboy, a man who wouldn't have been invited to make tea at the Liverpool Echo or the Bridlington Gazette, far less become the editor of the biggest regional paper. Print media is dying anyway. The only people who believe in the Tories are obviously sick in the head yet we NE Scots trust them. Mundell and Davidson wouldn't get a job in a fucking factory and yet they're lauded by the establishment.

Brilliant performance by hatchet face the day.

 

The boy giving her a P45 was class. Plus the way he ripped Boris the cunt.

 

Her cough was a metaphor for nae cunt wanting to hear anything she had to say.

 

The letters falling out behind her were too good. That had to be engineered?

The Tory party conference used to be so well choreographed that it squeaked

Teresa May ?

 

Laugh?

How did the boy from UKIP end up with a 25 year old blonde?!

Regularly pumping her (bank account) full

Lets face it lads, we are never going to understand women.

 

That wanker Farage left his German wife for his French mistress (it could be the other way around)

Lets face it lads, we are never going to understand women.

 

Venus and Mars. Veal and Mutton. Viberg and Matalan. Vicks and Moisturiser. Venerable and Maligned.

 

The man who has a daughter is well placed to understand this truth. With three daughters, a wife and a bitch dog, I'm convinced that the female of the species is not knowable by mere men. They're too different to know. Their hormones are erratic and their brains are random.

 

Jo Marney though. She's an archetypal gold digger. She has screws loose up top but she screws loose down below for money. It's one of the more stomach-turning examples in that he is a horribly boring beige man with political ambition that is as dead as the chances of Burnley beating Cowdenbeath 2-1 in the Scottish Cup final in May, whereas she is a horrible soul who might have been a looker had her behaviour, outlook and views not been so vile *. There is a deadness in her eyes. Fucking slut.

 

Edit: someone once said/wrote that a mans life can be seen in his face or a man wears his life in his face, something like that. This is a truth written by a man of instinct and only understood by men of instincts. For men, read women. Interchangeable on many points when discussing the human condition.

 

Marney is ugly. Every photo of her repels a decent spirit. She's a wrong Un. The square or the person suffering instinctius defunctum might counter with but you don't know her. That would be to misinterpret know and to underestimate instinct, particularly instant instinct.

 

 

I have no doubt what you say is true.

Such things are beneath my notice.

 

However

 

 

As much as the UKiP bloke is no doubt a slimy creep, are we now to be judged by the thoughts and behaviour of people we know?

I have no doubt that what you ask is above my understanding.

 

Why would we be judged by what others do or think?

 

This makes no sense to me.

 

Edit: ok I think you're talking about what impact Marney has on beige man (he's so boring I don't even remember his name).

 

Yeah it's nuts to judge him by her actions... on the face of it. It's only when the process of judgement is as crucial as it is for a leader or politician that his judgements about the company he keeps etc. is a valid subject for examination.

 

Edit II: I wasn't thinking about that angle, the impact she has had on him. If any at all, him being the leader of a dead and irrelevant cause. I was only judging her and how her life is being written in her appearance already, aged 25, in her eyes particularly.

 

 

Complete load of arseholes, the lot of them.

 

 

Things are getting worse in this respect though.

 

Is a Tory cabinet minister to lose his job because he had a mate at University who was and is a communist?

 

Is the worlds biggest intellect to miss out on that top job because his wife's a bit frumpy?

 

No doubt some things have always been such, the drive towards squeeky clean is dangerous though.

Squeaky clean was never a reality and always a lie, an unachievable aspiration that acts as a front for "decency".

 

Yet another tool of their hypocrisy.

 

Farage's leadership proved that the electorate are so shallow, it's about the personality not the policies.

Aye, we're allowing it. The BBC is covering it like it's a thing. It's dangerous as you say. It detracts from the things that should be being investigated

 

It's only when the process of judgement is as crucial as it is for a leader or politician that his judgements about the company he keeps etc. is a valid subject for examination.

 

So we need to get to the point where it isn't crucial, because it really should not be crucial. We don't need a leader, we don't need to be led. We need targets and goals as a society and the person who takes us there is ourselves. We've deified people in a system of deification. It's bad shite and it leads to this deep, deep investigation of a person's flaws in order to find out that UKIP's policies are zenophobic, nationalist pish. We knew this anyway, we don't need a UKIP leader to project this. Pollicy, policy, policy. Stop personalising politics, and remove power from individuals (see Donald T). That's the only way. Remove power from individuals and you remove power from their friends. We need accountability, but not on who someone is biffing.

No chance of that min.

 

Folk like leaders.

 

It gives the powerful someone to hide behind.

It gives the weak someone to idolise then inevitably sacrifice.

Interesting latest angle by the deep state to stoke up fear and villainise Russia.

 

The demonisation of Putin has been an ongoing orchestrated propaganda campaign by the "elite" who want wars and who need wars to further steal money from the public, cement their own positions and keep us down.

 

But now telling us how advanced and superior their arsenal is? Whilst I can understand how this fits their broad agenda, it's a sinister innovation designed to prepare us for the inevitable world war, one that only the moneyed men in the west want.

Aye, we need to plow mair money into the military.

 

It didn't really come as a surprise to find out that we would struggle in a square go with Russia.

 

Isn't that why we have to have the nuclear deterrent?

Russia have never exhibited an expansionist agenda. Putin has no interest in provoking conflict with NATO. MAD would indeed be mutually assured destruction but the provocation and actions that create the risk of war is 100% unilateral.
