For having a social conscience and helping others you will be punished.

That's just pure scumbaggery.

He's the same guy who wrote that unemployed men should be forced to have vasectomies. 

In this reality, displaying someone's words, verbatim, with context, is "clickbait".

I am disgusted by what Bradley has said but in fairness are any of us really surprised. The mask has always slipped every now and again on the odd Tory but given the rabid nature of their front bench I think more now feel they can let it slip more often. 

They won't be punished for it as if every Tory MP who held abhorrent views, and told lies to dig themselves out of a hole, was they'd be lucky to have as many MP's as the Lib Dems.

The more scary and worrying thing is that there is decent chunk of the electorate who agree with the kind of crap Bradley has come out with.

Bradley clearly doesn't understant the Twitter platform not does he understand clickbait

**** grim.

It's everyone else's fault for taking it out of context and being offended

"Right, so we've turned everyone in the country who isn't a sociopath against us with our let's-starve-children-at-Christmas policy, what can we do next?"

"Try and make it more expensive to not kill yourself and those around you?"

James Felton's response kind nails it (but contains a sweary so won't post here)

And as someone else points out in response... "taken out of Context" has become the Tory Mp's "the dog ate my homework"

Laptop allocation for England's schools slashed by 80%

Quote

Schools in some of the most deprived areas of the country were told on Friday night they would not receive the laptops they were promised to help their poorest and most vulnerable pupils learn remotely.

Headteachers across England received emails from the Department for Education on the eve of half-term informing them that their allocations of laptops for disadvantaged pupils had been slashed by around 80%.

The blow comes just two days after the government used its Covid-19 emergency powers to impose a new legal duty on schools to provide a remote education to any pupil unable to attend lessons because of the pandemic.

Vic Goddard, a co-principal at Passmores Academy in Essex, was appalled to discover his original allocation of 129 laptops is going to be reduced to just 26: “We weren’t allocated enough in the first place.”

...

A Department for Education spokesperson said allocations of laptops were being “more effectively” targeted to the children, schools and areas of the country that have “greatest need”, such as those in higher tiers where children are more likely to be isolating.

It's still not a word I'd use but I've called them a number of other quite choice ones in the last couple of days.

One can only assume that there was no convenient way for a Conservative party donor or mate of someone in the cabinet to make stacks of cash out of it.
