bickster Posted September 30, 2019 Moderator Share Posted September 30, 2019 Just now, Chindie said: Yes. A Tory MP in Middlesbrough. There should barely be a Tory in the Northeast, but Middlesbrough (be it South or any other part of the area) is one of the most deprived places in the country. Tories should be anathema to them. The Middlesborough title of the constituency is rather misleading, its a mainly rural seat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the last few weeks, there has been a reasonably well co-ordinated approach by the opposition parties to refer to him as "untrustworthy", in the hope that repetition sparks recognition. We all know he's a lying shit, but it's also important to establish it as a known fact, and an unacceptable thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it genuinely staggering that anyone would need a coordinated campaign to know that he is a lying toad of a man. The fact he still has people in his thrall in this country astounds and disappoints me in equal measure. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he still has people in his thrall in this country astounds and disappoints me in equal measure. I agree. I think it's a combination of several things. The false story that all politicians are liars, which is untrue and serves to give cover to the corrupt scum like him. The fawning coverage in the media, not just the tory tabloids, but also the BBC referring to him on so many occasions as "Boris", which anyone can tell them (and they must know) promotes a sense of familiarity and closeness which is entirely inappropriate for political reporting. The "cheeky chappie" image, in which smug self-adulation is presented as being a bit cavalier, a bit edgy. I could go on, but I think I would vomit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s more the fact we won’t have any cake to share and I don’t mean due to mythical Brexit empty shelves , but this is the “its on Twitter it’s true “ bash a Tory thread so maybe the merits of St Jezza should be carried on in the “I’m not a labour support , but “ thread ?

Popular Post chrisp65 Posted September 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2019 I guess the media must be giving the tories quite a hard time over their statement that they can ‘spend the headroom’ and that they don’t know how much Brexit will cost. I’d say if another party had those two things going on in the same conference they’d be laughed at. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted September 30, 2019 Moderator Share Posted September 30, 2019 As well as the whopper that he told that was mentioned elsewhere on VT, he also claimed credit for London Transport going contactless with the Oyster Card today, trouble is, it was introduced 5 years before he was MoL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Something I noticed today is that when asked about his alleged thigh-squeezing earlier, he denied it and then said that people wanted the Tories to focus on 'levelling up and uniting the country'. I heard a different Cabinet minister use a video game reference just a couple of days ago, but the fact it's happened twice means it's no coincidence. Expect to hear more oh-so-subtle appeals to dudebro gamers IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
