2018 uk politics thread (rolling)

Not to mention that the Tory/DUP deal was already arguably a breach of the treaty’s terms.

Always worth a reminder:

Huh, never knew the wretched little shit came from Edinburgh.

Born in Edinburgh, but brought up in Aberdeen.

It’s a shame he and Gordon the Gopher fell out. Gordon would have skewered her good and proper.

This is disgraceful and extremely dangerous in light of what happened to Jo Cox and the attempted assassinations of Khan and Corbyn. These tory cunts and their friends clearly know paranoid shit like this is liable to provoke a particular kind of unstable right winger and they’re spreading it anyway.

It’s okay, he’s clarified that he wasn’t comparing them at all. Glad we got that all straightened out.

The more I read stuff like this in light of Jo Cox and the van nutter, the more convinced I am he’s just going to get assassinated one of these days. And shitbirds like this will bloviate about how stunned they are and standing as one and how now more than ever we need a less antagonistic discourse. Genuinely feel sick thinking about it

it’s that slithering, shitty, “sorry not sorry” stuff the tories do that i can’t abide. they drop a little poison in the well and act wide eyed and surprised when everyone starts getting sick. they know exactly what kind of dangerous, reactionary forces they’re provoking here and they don’t give a shit.

and of course, on cue, almost as if all this is coordinated, here’s a discourse keeper to help normalize and mainstream this horse shit…

ticks every single box. he even stuck a fucking orwell reference in there.

also reminds me of what frankie boyle, who is occasionally pretty insightful about this stuff, said about the tories, which is that when they’re smearing an opponent or trying to force through an unpopular policy, they mobilise their gurning idiots to basically run across the minefield for them and take the flak so they can judge how it’s playing. this is all textbook.
