[Finance] Snouts in the bloody trough..

[WATFORD zero]

I would bloody like that !!!!

Anything but Corbyn like many hundreds of thousands of others. Starmer is a much safer bet

Fair enough, but you need to wait until your last two votes for Brexit and Johnson have played out their full term. You can change your mind mid term but you've voted for another 2 years of this yet before you get another go

The royals are beyond reproach and scrutiny to so many for their disgusting privileged snouts constantly being in the trough amongst many other things. It is utterly depressing.

I need no convincing though. He's not my king. I have absolutely no respect for the man.

The money you could save with a cheaper head of state.

I quite like Charles as a bloke, although he hasn't had time to misuse his power and wealth as much as his predecessor . . . Yet. Give him time obviously and he'll most likely be paying of any necessary sex trafficking victims like a good un.

I am not sure this is correct, you can't vote again! It's not democratic. I've read this a few times.

Like many others in the same boat. Things might be a lot better in 2yrs who knows what the future holds

Elite member of establishment does something wrong.

Gets defended by another elite member of establishment though.

If hasn’t already got off, gets sentenced by another elite member of the establishment

If (a big if by now) penalty is heavy, then gets appealed to another elite member of establishment

And then if (IF!) upheld and not reduced or quashed, don’t forget another elite member of the establishment can change the rules!

Effectively it’s like Steele commiting a foul, with Dunk as ref, who’s been selected by RDZ, who’s monitored by Barber against laws designed, set and ruled over by Bloom.

Funnily, no penalty was awarded to the opposition in the end. Which is great if you’re a Brighton fan (aka the elite establishment). But less so if you support anyone else…

You've also got the bloke on the PA system telling you it wasn't a foul and most the commentators on the TV and Radio telling you to support Brighton.

That’s more the Chinese version, but it’s becoming increasingly hard to tell the difference I agree.

 

[Baldseagull]

Yes, yes let's get a Labour Gov't instead. They won't have their snouts in the same trough...oh, wait a minute.

Plenty of reasons to switch to Labour, but that ain't one of them. Most politicians trough in the same farmyard.

I thought he said we need a revolution?

 

[Hugo Rune]

Indeed, they're not 'all the same'

One gets the impression that you’re not going to have a particularly fun day tomorrow.

Top tip. Stay in bed and stay off NSC.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Name me one Labour PM who got severance pay for 44 days at number 10, and gets a 6 figure pension for life?

That's a fairly specific request.

Very surprisingly a mixed bag in the end. The BBC late evening predicted a 15% swing to Labour in Uxbridge in a crushing victory, they played amateur psychologist and said the Tories in the hall were sad.

Politics …. it’s a funny old game.

Tom Scholar, who was sacked by Truss as the Treasury’s top civil servant on her first day in power, was given a severance payment of £335,000, plus £122,000 in annual leave adjustments and compensation in lieu of notice.

…… which is Truss’s fault for dumping him against all the advice for no good reason, rather than his fault for being dumped on from a great height.

Cant be arsed spending my days identifying as a victim

How come the huge pay rises and salaries of the mega-rich are never blamed for fuelling inflation, or pricing themselves out of work?

One Think Tank or similar did recently cite the pay rises of top earners as a factor in fuelling inflation

I prefer the Jess Phillips MP line: “I enjoy being angry!”
it‘s called justice and it’s worth fighting for.

Recognising when you’re being taken for a ride is not “identifying as a victim”.

Nice to see Labour turning over the biggest majority in their history. But in London, @clapham_gull had called the Uxbridge situation.

Tory voters gaslit into believing that Johnson’s old ULEZ policy was a Labour idea. I suspect Tory HQ will now realise that anti-green policies (framing JSO as Labour and the biggest threat to the Country) should be put at the forefront of the culture wars. This Trumpian message works. Stuff the environment.

To be fair, it’s the nearly 50% rise in the money for the Royals which gets me most. I’d like to see the justification. Has the price of caviar gone through the roof? The price of champagne rocketed?
