The Missus had it on before and I walked in to see Gove say that of all the candidates, he was the one Corbyn would fear the most (fantasist) and that he’d done great things in every department of government he’d run to date (John and Yoko territory here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably also saved Wellington and captured the Eagle at Talavera. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I caught about 20 minutes of it and found it quite surreal how they were all saying how poor some of our public services were, what needed to be done to improve them, and how divided our country was and what they would do to bring it back together. I felt I was listening to a debate between Lib Dems, Labour, The Greens etc not 5 people who'd been part of a government, many of them in senior positions, who had decimated our public services and wilfully instigated a blame culture of pointing the finger at Johnny Foreigner and benefit claimants for any woes. The worst thing about it though was that aside from Raab I'd rather any of them became PM rather than the person that will in Johnson. What a shit show. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a shit show. I initially wanted Johnson to win because he'll destroy the Tory Party, I still think he will, I'm just of the opinion after last night that Gove will destroy it more. So Gove for me then Johnson because it doesn't really matter who leads that shit show, they'll all be bad for us in varying degrees, I'd rather the eventual outcome was the death of the party all together 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seemed to be imploding in the early 90s over Europe, but managed to hold it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that he speaks only of older people. Presumably that's to distinguish them from people sanctioned and taken off disability benefits, who we assume can die without dignity or respect.

It's not exactly death camps, is it? I fully support it, having seen people slowly fade away,losing their memories and passionate, having nothing left but months or years of pain and confusion. If I ever get close to that point, I want to go out on my own terms, before my mind goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they've always managed it but I do think this time, they're between a rock and a hard place and eventually whichever route they take, they'll implode in some form, it's just a matter of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't actually think Matt Hancock sees organ-harvesting as a vote-winning policy and I don't think a Jeremy Hunt manifesto would be based on Logan's Run. It's just quite funny that his marketing team haven't phrased his campaign pledge as clearly as he might have wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, you see, it's quite hard to tell that it's a joke that their policy might be to euthanise the old, because it does appear to be official policy to sanction the poor to death.
