Let's Get Political!

A rare concession that I will make to Johnson, then.  I stand corrected.

The most chilling aspect to this election is that (assuming the Tories do win) it will demonstrate that you can hide from the mainstream media, obfuscate, deliberately mislead and openly tell lies - and it won't harm you at the ballot box.

 So the European Parliament has followed ours and has declared a climate emergency.... interesting that some Tory MEP's but not all voted in favour, Fartage's mob in line with their denying overlord Trump, voted against.

 Johnson, of course, will not come onto TV and debate this with other leaders.

In a way this sums up the issues facing Labour, its laudable that they have taken swift action to get rid, but it still leaves it open to query how the hell she got nominated in the first place!

From the Guardian:

A party source said the comments were made on an older Facebook account she no longer used and had not been picked up during candidate screening.

I honestly don't know either way if labour can be blamed for that. Certainly something for them to take into account from now on.

Either way, you can be sure the focus will be on her having been in labour rather than the fact labour acted quickly.

He said the case was going through the fast-track disciplinary processes introduced by Jeremy Corbyn, whose handling of antisemitism within the party has again come under intense scrutiny.

The same Corbyn that is doing nothing to address the 'problem'?

It was an honest remark!

It's often been noted that you'd be doing well to find many of a left wing persuasion on the TEF.

It's being held in a faith school.... new forms of these are not a good idea.  We've just had the case of parents having to fight in the courts to get altrnative provision for their kids

https://www.theguardian.com/education/2019/nov/20/oxfordshire-parents-win-right-to-prayer-free-school-assembly

and also this week the injunction to prevent protests by mainly but not exclusively muslim parents against the teaching of liberal views on gender, sexual orientation etc. Protests that is right outside the school gate.... they're free to carry on, on FB and Twitter etc.

Getting to you? 

Nope.

The level of shitness is actually quite impressive. He's either naturally gifted or he's worked hard at it. Either way, credit where credit's due.

tbf, all 3 main parties have had issues with this and it's a function of a snap election that they don't have time to do the full vetting they'd normally do

Has he managed to catch the bolting horse then or has it disappeared over the horizon yet.

Channel 4 replaces the absentees' Boris and Farage with ice sculptors where they would have been sitting.

Boris threatens to 'review' their licence.

Doesn't take much for the authoritarian to peek through the affable veneer does it?
