I think Toyotas are quite cool, they’re not trying too hard and they never break, no excuse to leave your car that messy though but there’s a litany of other reasons to dislike Boris other than that .

A Horse Named Stranger Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 So Johnson vs. Jerry C. it is? Isn't that like a political and intellectual void. I mean, Jerry's magical negotiation skills will have him fly on a carpet to Brussels and make the backstop go away (spoiler: it won't). Or in other words it's the political equivalent of this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zc4bGkU05o Johnson, I have no idea. But who needs a policy (or any policy whatsoever for that matter), when you can laugh with uncle Boris? Right boys, we are having a ball. Here, it's even with music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBox5HLLyy0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Brown did that over here when he ran for the Senate, driving around a pickup truck rather than any of his fancy sports cars. The funny part is he owned the truck so he could haul his daughters' horses around, so even that was a stealthy way to flash your wealth while pretending to be the common man.

BigFatCoward Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I'm no lover of the tories, and am incredibly sympathetic to the cause of the climate change protesters. But the level of force used in removing her was absolutely reasonable and being suspended for it is preposterous. In the current climate politicians have every right to worry about what crazy people may do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the current climate politicians have every right to worry about what crazy people may do. There are points where what he did looked pretty excessive, the initial grab and lunge looked pretty violent. However, I agree that he didn't know what she was going to do, what if she had acid or something. And if she was a man, would there be the same level of outrage?

Maybe leave it to the proper authorities who, one would hope at least, are more likely to use reasonable/appropriate force. To be clear, its the one incident in particular with Mark Field I’m referring to. His response was clearly beyond what anyone should consider reasonable and there was nothing that protestor was doing which might have made him fear violence. From all appearances she is simply walking.

You do remember Jo Cox, and know of the toxic political environment we live in? Nobody is obliged or expected to be harmed 'before' they take steps to defend themselves or another, even cunty Tory wankbags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking about a woman in an evening dress, carrying a mobile phone and some papers. Of course everyone in the room was in mortal danger.

She definitely couldn't have had a weapon hidden in those papers or her handbag, nobody has ever tried to hide a weapon they were going to use. Every stabbing I've been to the victim was given adequate notice that the suspect was armed. You sound stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spockydog Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Once again, Jones socks it to the cunts and wankers. Mark Field grabs a climate protester by the neck – and parts of the right cheer him on Quote What is more shocking? That during the chancellor of the exchequer’s Mansion House speech in London, at the heart of Britain’s establishment, Mark Field, a middle-aged male Tory minister, slammed a young, female Greenpeace protester against a pillar then forcefully propelled her out, clutching her neck? That no one at this gilded dinner, full of other middle-aged, besuited, bow-tie-wearing members of the British elite, did anything? That some even reportedly applauded when he returned? That multiple rightwing commentators have not only defended this minister but called for him to be awarded a medal? That social media abounds with predominantly men cheering the minister on, offering a disturbing and all too revealing insight into what male behaviour towards women they judge to be acceptable?
