This was just tweeted: -

 

 

"Spot on by Spitting Image! Decades ago they made this clip that predicated the Privatisation of the Railways will miserably fail in exactly the manor that it ended up miserably failing".

 

Edit: the tweeter's spelling errors left in...

 

in case you were thinking of casting aspersions at my attention to detail in primary school.

Teresa May in the house just now has confirmed what any reasonably functioning sane mind has suspected for a long time. Not only is she mad, Britain is totally barking mad, the support she's getting from the public school suits without a brain between them nor an ounce of integrity. The setting up for war with Putin has been ongoing for a long time. Forget that the Conservative party took €1m of Russian money, that's no shock given their love of money, offshoring and personal gain from the public purse (NHS privatisation by stealth), war is the biggest earner and here we go again....

It's all the partisan bull shit that gets me. It's fucking disgusting and the sign of a very backward setup.

 

Corbyn (or whoever) can't ask legitimate questions without being branded a traitor. The phrase "[he should be] expected to condemn Russia" was also used. Do we really need to "condemn" anyone/anything? How the fuck does that help. We're fucking adults, have an adult discussion of the facts. The people of the UK don't need Theresa May or Jeremy Corbyn to tell us how to think, just give us the facts. Any reasonable person who could see visible evidence of a Russian poisoning would rightly think it was an abhorrent act, we don't need to be told how to think about things.

 

There was a weird phone in on BBC scotland yesterday which I caught a little bit of. Actual Scottish people phoning in suggesting that we impose sanctions or other bollocks. Who are these armchair specialists, and why do they feel so strongly? There simply isn't enough information in the public domain for us (the public) to make a definitive (informed) decision on whether there was a Russian sanctioned poisoning or not. Why do they act like they know otherwise, and with such confidence? It's like the idiots that wank on about "Economic Growth", parroting the shite they've heard being spouted constantly by politicians. I can't tell if in both instances it's just an attempt by individuals to make themselves sound more intelligent. There's no harm in saying "I don't know" in these instances. I certainly don't.

Has the British public been dumbed down to such an extent that nobody cares any more?

 

I find it frightening personally.

 

The Chilcott report has been ignored. This is a "country" that has facilitated in and has directly killed millions illegally and yet they already know that the fate of one Russian ex-spy and his daughter killed on British soil was the act of Putin? And yet they won't reveal the evidence to anyone let alone to the accused? Even that thick cunt Trump has been primed to say "it looks like Russia is behind it".

 

On more domestic matters and equally disturbing, have you noticed how Scottish produce in supermarkets has been de-Scotified over recent months. They are desperate to keep a hold of us. For our own good apparently.

Yes it has, the establishment has won. A lot of people still care but the vast majority really don't, it really is a case of looking after number one.

 

Surely an intelligent person would see that type of short-sighted approach for what it is? Individualism, to the extent that we have promoted it in this country, is the root of the vast majority of our problems. We either look out for others or we continue on the existing path. What you're describing is the status quo. Just because someone is ignorant - deliberately or otherwise - it doesn't mean they should be ignored.

Not sure about that een like. Not much evidence presented there. Boy's a bit of a mintal case ina, having seen some of his pish before. He could be entirely correct, but he hasn't backed it up with any facts, just basic circumstance.

I'm not sure about any of them for a very simple reason; I'm not there. It's not my area of knowledge. I have no direct involvement in the case. I was only forwarding on an alternative view, a counter to the standard establishment line, something Andrew Neil reinforced in disgusting fashion last night after Question Time. It is always wise to consider the boundaries and to always examine all possibilities, however unlikely they may be.

 

This is where those who use the phrase "conspiracy theories" show themselves for what they are. Yes there are a handful of nut jobs who want to believe EVERY outlier but there is no doubt that the majority swallow the party lines without question, far less ever investing any critical thinking. Those who seek to invoke "conspiracy theorist" as a criticism will have something to hide or something to protect, their position of absolute certainty being their usual reason.

Like him or loath him, he's always had the courage to say what he believes and on the demonisation and vilification of Corbyn and Putin, he's bang on.

 

Our deep state is shutting down dissent and opposition. Even John Swinney has been a victim of their subliminal propaganda this week. They are desperate not to lose Scotland. Their tactics to destroy the independence movement don't include honest debate and free speech, rather, the same old fear campaign and scaring us into distrust of our own.

Boris , apart from being a fuckin idiot is a cunning educated fuckin idiot.

 

He full well knows how many Russians died at the hands of Hitlers armies.

 

What he said today he said deliberately, with full knowledge of what the reaction would be.

 

Dangerous times ahead.

The worst things about the Boris x-examination were the tone and the x-examiners.

 

Had I been the chairman - they didn't request my services - I might have interjected, or interejaculated, whatever the posh term is. I'm at least encouraged that my phone autocorrects posh with pish, such has been my use of the latter but I would've taken that smugness right oot his coupon with "innocent people are lying in hospital, there are major state relationships at stake here and you think it's a source of humour, merriment and buffoonery?"

 

Had I imbibed of claret at lunch, I might have added "grow up you fucking public schoolboy wank and stop acting the prick". It was a disgusting scene, a PR faux questioning designed to sell the establishment line. The fuckers doing the "questioning" should also, like Boris, be executed and when rocket takes charge, they will be.

Why does our prime minister visit a toddler school? What was the state purpose? And is it newsworthy?

 

The "photo op" politics in this country shows a real deep-rooted societal problem. We have no targets, no societal aims, no definition of progress. Just a bunch of identities in a building shouting at one another surrounded by pageantry and irrelevance.
