Tory bots out in full force

 

Mini rant: PMQs can be incredibly rage-inducing, but by far the thing that puts my TV in fear of its life the most is when Johnson says something like: "The people of the UK want ..." or "The people of the UK care about ..."  I'm one of the people of the UK, and you do not speak for me, you flubbering blamange!!  :angry2::angry2:

Judging from the two posts above, this seems to be classic and approved Toryspeak.

We know a lot of musicians who played in these groups back in day, both British and US  -- they know what they saw, and they saw a LOT of under 16, both boys and girls.

One of the great producers from the era -- even now, and so much younger, we all will recognize the names he put on vinyl -- and the film titles for which he did the sound tracks -- says he sometimes in his most depressed moments thinks that in England at at the very least, the whole point of the music biz in the 1960's 70's was paedaephilia.

He retired quite some years ago and now is a full time environmental activist, to which he's put all his very significant money, other than what's he's earmarked for his grand-daughters' education.

I thought Theresa May was supposed to be strong and stable.

Hard to imagine a more presumptuous and pretentious phrase than "I speak on behalf of all of the UK". it is also rendered ridiculous when multiple people claim to be doing so. Surely as long as one citizen is speaking on behalf of the entire UK then there is no need for anyone else to do so.

Oh wait, I was wrong, there is another more pretentious phrase "best ever prime minister" in association with the name Boris Johnson. Though it may be true if all other past PMs were complete AND utter shite.

One might be able to credibly claim to be speaking on behalf of all those who voted for you. Though with the results of recent by-elections it may not be such a safe assumption.

I loved it.  It was much better than “Cats”.  I’m going to see it again, and again.

Was that the production where Zouma had the lead role? I believe other versions had much higher production values.

That's a little melodramatic. She apparently asked them if they wanted to carry on and they said yes.

Isn’t the point she should have managed to take the test 30 minutes before the meeting so she knew the results before starting?

No, I think this is more about Scot's fantasy of neutering James Corden - I might be projecting there, tho.

Jacob Rees-Mogg begging for Sun readers to identify all the regulations they want abolished. 
Goodbye health and safety, food and buikding standards!

 

I'm sure it will be easy to come up with some easily achievable petty EU rules they can scrap without any effort and claim victory.

we can start with straight bananas / bent cucumbers.

once we have got past the fake EU rules maybe we can look at the real ones like removing VAT on Energy as promised before the referendum.   VAT on Tampons.    oh sorry I forgot they voted down removing VAT on Energy.  oh well.

The whole point of a, creating a Minister for Brexit Opportunities; b, giving the job to the living incarnation of unearned upper class smugness that is Rees-Mogg; and c, starting his job with an appeal to Sun readers to write to him and remind themselves of all the things they hate about the EU, is surely obvious. They want their good old reliable culture war back.

I said at the time and it's a pretty obvious thing, but actually exiting the EU doesn't change anything for these people as far as using Europe as a culture war punchbag goes. Want to fire up the Tory base? Pick fights with Europe! Preferably one-sided, largely imaginary ones. It worked when we were in the EU, and it works now we've left. It'll remain a go-to for decades yet.

And BFC is currently absent. COINCIDENCE?!

I've been busy deleting my whole online presence.  So if I go for the top job they can't pull me up for having called loads of people cunts on an online fantasy forum. 

Don't mind Cressida, she's no John Stephens, but she's better than the last few by far.

You've got some more deleting to do.

 

And... low bar

Considering it was the corporations who had pushed for these undoubtedly stupid rules, I'm curious how abolishing them will work out.

They didn't push for them because they don't exist they are inventions of...wait for it...Boris Johnson while he was a bored EU reporter
