Sabisky has gone

I wonder whether the timing of his departure suggests that it had more to do with the stories in the media today (which were coming out yesterday evening) rather than the eugenics things, for which he seemed to retain full governmental support?

Given Cummings and Johnson refused to condemn the eugenicist stuff and Johnson's spokesman repeatedly refused to say whether he agreed with Sabisky's assertion that black people are less intelligent than white people, it would seem it's down to the media furore than any fundamental disagreement with the racist eugenicist views. Which is quite astonishing and very very worrying. #BritishTrump

Not sure why the media needed to ask the questioms anyway, a quick google serch would have sufficed.

I suspect this is what finally nudged him as he resigned almost immediately after the first version of this was published online.

When asked in a debate whether she would vote to abolish the monarchy in a hypothetical referendum, Lisa Nandy says yes. However, all candidates, including Nandy, said it was not a priority for them.

The Press: OMG. LABOUR WANT TO ABOLISH THE MONARCHY!!!!
The public: OMG. LABOUR HATE BRITAIN.

The whole Sabisky saga also begs the question of how many more racist wierdos with incest fantasies Cummings has employed in No 10?

This isn't mine, its nicked off Twitter but makes a pertinent point...

80 seat majority. What could go wrong?

3 months later, we're planning to destroy the BBC*, sack judges we don't like, build impossible bridges, spend £100bn on a slightly faster train ticket, bring back eugenics, and debating if black people are mentally inferior.

2 months.


*BTW this is absolute bollocks, The BBC's present settlement lasts until 2027, Johnson's government only until December 2024. Unless he is going to try to bind any successor government (good luck), this is just another classic Dom, a good tough sound bite but slack on detail.

At least someone has said something... https://twitter.com/Haggis_UK/status/1229685390900109312

'I think we should prevent racists from entering no. 10...' Erm...do you want to tell him or should I?

Seems a bit harsh to prevent the Labour party from government/number 10
 (I assume anti semetism counts as racist.)

Very good, as the only chance Labour has of entering no.10 is with a complete change in personnel its a rather peculiar point to make, what's that over there you say?

On that basis if its a race to the bottom that the Tories are winning as they now seem to be getting close to the box set.

Setting aside their well documented Islamophobia problem, investigation promised and quietly shelved, highest ranking Muslim in cabinet unceremoniously got rid of. Their longstanding problem with black people from the leader down.

We now have them, having posited themselves as allies of the Jewish community to win the election, now they're in government hiring eugenicists - a pseudoscience used to dehumanise Jews during the Holocaust.

She's also now said that "only the brightest and the best" would get into Britain under the new skin colour- points-based immigration system. So presumably the half of the cabinet she's not locking up she'll be deporting?
