[Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

[Machiavelli]

Matthew Elliot is a much better fit in the Tower of London rather than the House of Lords. Traitor.

“Elliott – who was mooted to be on the cusp of joining Sajid Javid’s team as an adviser after he was made chancellor in 2019 – was a prominent member of Conservative Friends of Russia, a group which has been accused of uncritically supporting Putin.”

Former Vote Leave chief exec linked to Conservative Friends of Russia

Former Vote Leave man Matthew Elliot is among a string of murky connections linking the Conservative Party to Russian money.

Don't forget the links (and, in all likelihood, funding) between Farage and Banks and Russia. Was all part of Steve Bannon's (oxymoronic) Nationalist International. Also worth mentioning Trump's response to Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
And, to think, so many were taken in with this nationalism and/or proto-fascism.

And yet huge swathes of the population will still vote for these selfish, greedy cnuts.. no shame, no guilt, they just shake it off and move on to the next opportunity to cash in.

Those who support these scum, who used to post on NSC, appear to have run away. Sitting on their hands and hoping for a bright blue tomorrow.

Or posting dog whistle racism in the pit. @carlzeiss. Shame on you. Shame on the lot of them. Weirdos. Ta ra.

Of course... that's the latest spin which the hard of thinking have swallowed. A convenient mythology generated by the professionally deceitful to keep the terminally gullible on board.....

It's cynics like you that are the problem.




If we all just get together and make some jam* for the coronation weekend we can make this country great again.


*Or lemon curd **



**or proper pork pies.

A reminder that back in the 1990s, Neil Hamilton was hounded out for this sort of corruption as a backbencher, we now have several cabinet and former cabinet ministers accused of the same thing. The corruption is staggering.

Thresh them all into a culvert.

Brexit dividends?

Adulteration of honey with cheap sugar syrup has been exposed in a new investigation by the European Commission, which found 46% of sampled products were suspected to be fraudulent. Ten honey samples from the UK all failed the tests. They may have been blended or packaged in Britain, but the honey probably originated overseas.

This is not the first time tests have suggested that UK shoppers may be being cheated on their honey, though supermarkets say they regularly test honey and audit supply lines.

Just put this here for the quote

The Conservative Party After Brexit by Tim Bale review – why conservatism turned into chaos​

Napoleon was history on a horse. Since the Brexit referendum, Britain has been history in a clown car. We are now on our fifth prime minister in the six tumultuous years since that fateful vote. Some describe this revolving door of chaos as the “Italianisation” of our politics. Many have marvelled at how a country that used to have an international reputation as boringly predictable has so often resembled a banana republic with crap weather.

It doesn’t surprise me in the slightest. The Tory motto is profit profit profit.

The Tories want the nation addicted to corn syrup (a trade deal with the US would be great), its great for obesity and will be a catalyst to bringing down the NHS....

We buy honey from local beekeepers / honey producers, not the cheap imported shit sold in supermarkets. The UK is the biggest importer of Chinese honey, making up 30% of all imported honey and I dread to think what goes into that muck.

The Tories want the nation addicted to corn syrup (a trade deal with the US would be great), its great for obesity and will be a catalyst to bringing down the NHS....

The conspiracy is afoot. The shadowy illuminati have once again congregated at a clandestine secret location; this time, an unmarked office block in the City of London. Hiding in plain sight. A phone rings;

“What what! How did you get this number old chap?”

The receiver is quickly replaced. An underling is charged to have the phone line immediately disconnected and the phone burnt.

An oddly coiffured blond gentleman lights up a cigarette; his face briefly illuminated. Years of government and extra-marital affairs have taken their toll on his pudgy face. He has seen things the public could never comprehend.

“I say, tally ho, top dodger and all that. What are we going to do for a jolly good wheeze at those ghastly proles next”?

A cloaked figure emerges from the darkness. He has something of the night about him.

“Well, Number One, there is ‘Plan H’…”

The room falls into silence.

“I say old bean, you mean to get Johnny Poorman addicted to corn syrup, so that in the coming decades obesity may eventually rise, putting a strain on that damnable NHS, so that we may privatise as the Lord Satan intended?”

“This is precisely what I mean, Number One. It is the last thing the public would expect.”

Sounds plausible to me!
