Let's Get Political!

I think this is satire, but don't quote me on it!

Not just Labour that has a problem with anti-Semitism:

Looking forward to the 2-page spread in tomorrow's Mail about this

Rather depressing watch, I am fairly interested in the process but I didn't realise just how much of a stitch up it is!

I think Islamophobia is mainly the Toriees bag....

It pains me defend them (sort of), but remarkably the Mail is at least reporting it. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7699869/Tory-candidate-suspended-party-online-comments.html

This popped up yesterday about Corbyn which without judgement as I don't really recall the background was rather interesting...

Mail are too busy with this anyway.

This from the guy who over the weekend was suggesting essentially forced labour camps for the homeless and those with ASBO's, which seems a heck of a leap from Labour to being a bit fascisty.

Apparently Arron Banks' Twitter account has been hacked and a file of his DMs sent to Carol Cadwaller (sp?), the journalist who did the initial expose of Leave.EU's links to the Cambridge Analytica scandal and Banks' links to the Russians. Hilariously, Andy Wigmore (a director of Leave.EU and one of the self-styled "Bad Boys of Brexit") is now bleating about it being a violation of GDPR. You know, the EU Data Protection regulations. Couldn't make it up

The BBC's everso impartial political correspondent, Laura Kuntingberg, chose to report this on twitter by talking about the Leicester labour candidate resigning and a picture of his resignation.

Stuff started leaking already:
1) Priti Patel taking a grand bung from Banks via a Mail journalist
2) Banks boasting to Julia Hartley-Brewer he'd brokered a clandestine pact between Farage and Johnson, around the time Farage stood down his candidates in Tory seats
3) Anti-semitic remarks about Soros (surprise)

Banks referring to Northeners as 'Northern monkeys'

Looking forward to tonights leader debate on ITV. I fully expect Corbyn to do well if given chance to actually talk about the issues that matter. We could have a sweepstake on how many times Boris will say "get Brexit done". It's all he trots out.

Well we do like to walk around with our arses out and steal car aerials!

Wigmore seems to be thick as shit, he is basically the (northern) monkey to Bank's grinder!

I don't tend to watch much of the debates/speeches but i managed to catch the CBI event yesterday and watched both Corbyn and BJ speak, and my word, how on earth can anyone take bumbling boris seriously. OK, i know its not as simple as that, but he was terrible. Compared to Corbyn who spoke so clearly and answered questions without (too much) sidestepping.

Julie what’s her face needs to shut up and stop interrupting JC and BJ after 10 seconds each time.

Julie what’s her face needs to shut up and stop interrupting JC and BJ after 10 seconds each time.

Indeed. As the old saying goes, the best referees are the ones you don’t really notice.

Tonight told us very little; not that I expected much else but it would have been nice if the debate was allowed to develop.

Moving on, I wonder what delights tomorrow will bring with the great Labour advent calendar
