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 was in beautiful Bordeaux on this day 10 years ago telling everyone at the wine festival we would never vote for Brexit!!

10 years of Brexit. What’s been your favourite Brexit benefit? 

All about the boats for me. Brexit has gave us back the powers to stop the bad ones and freed the ones that trawl the oceans from EU bureaucracy to enable them to freely catch all the fish that no one eats outside the EU.

I think out of all the weirdos, grifters, cowards & imbeciles in parliament, Honest Bob Jenrick is the worst 

Nigel Farage making a statement on his future in public life at two

Hopefully it’s along the lines of ‘Sorry for fucking over the nation, I’ll fuck off now’. I suspect it will be some woe is me bollocks blamed on the establishment

He'll be having a go at the woke lefty media, like the Sunday Times.

It’s a people vs the establishment by election says the privately educated former stockbroker with 4 houses bought with cash

So it’s Farage vs Count Binface. What would be probably the funniest thing ever in the history of British politics is in the hands of the residents of Clacton.

He either beats a guy dressed as a bin, or loses to a guy dressed as a bin

I’m not sure this is playing out the same way it did in his head. Murdoch wants him gone, so he’ll have to go. That’s how it works.

That bloody woke lefty Murdoch forcing out the best thing to happen to British politics in our lifetime's 🤔

The other man of the people, Rupert Lowe, claims Dunblane was just one muder.

He is looking to relax rules on gun ownership, which were tightened up off the back of that one murder.

Just saw the clip. You can excuse Rogan as his whole thing is understanding nothing and getting angry when the explanation goes beyond him but Rupert knows exactly what he’s doing

Imagine lying about the murder of 16 primary school children and their teacher, to work this in. All so these baby balled wankers can get their guns back

What a piece of shite

I would like to see Rupert repeat what he said in front of the parents of the children who died that day.

I doubt he would be so cocky then.

I know. Wasn’t expecting it to be a murder investigation, which may or may not be politically motivated.

Police were supposed to be having a presser nearly an hour ago. Going to be interesting to see what they say.

A 26-year old white British male has been arrested.

That’ll cause great disappointment amongst all those that liked her.

White guy has been freed and no longer part of the investigation meanwhile the police aren't releasing any CCTV or a description of the new suspect.

We all know where this is going.

Or maybe the polis haven't got a clue.

Or maybe

'OK Sir, we picked you up based in initial information but after questioning you and more details coming to light we are satisfied you are not the person we are looking for. Thank you for your co-operation, you are free to go and we apologise for any inconvenience and stress we have caused you and your family. We will arrange for someone to take you home.'

Nah that cant be right as the police always nab the perpetrator straight away, they are tried and convicted within 48hrs and we move on.

Also CCTV in rural Devon?

Of course there is. Every tree, telegraph pole, pillar box, bush in the sticks has a 4K camera. Thats where yer council tax money goes hence the potholes, library closures etc
