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

Hmm, I don't think they are quangos funded by the tax payer. They're most likely funded by Russia, tobacco firms, oil companies, etc, etc. But the truth is that we don't know for sure because they won't tell us and there is no mechanism to force them to

Yes, there are donors but when you consider how high taxation is now, and public services are run into the ground, the money is going somewhere. It was the same when Johnson was mayor of London, and his consultations for the garden bridge, buying water cannons etc. Millions wasted, but went into someone’s pockets.
VIP PPE anyone?

How much higher is the death rate under anaesthetic for AA's rather than proper anaesthetists?

are you volunteering again? or........ are you volunteering someone else again?

So the UK Home Secretary has been slapped down by the United Nations for racism.

Another high point for our country.

seems very obvious that she's planning for a leadership run once the Tories lose the next election and will almost solely be running on an anti-immigration ticket

Or a cheeky little resign and unseat Rishi should they have a bad conference

A dangerous tactic which could rebound on her and her family, once the racism is allowed to be normalised.

This evil person wants the UN to change the definition of refugees. Being persecuted for being a woman, or gay is not a reason to claim asylum.
Stay where you are and be married off at 13 to an old man, endure FGM, beaten or be killed because you are gay.
Edited to add the UN's own figure
UNHCR most recently estimated that, by end of 2022, for the first time in recorded history, the number of people forcibly displaced is now 108.4 million, and over 35.3 million refugees.

This is a woman whose own parents, came to Britain for economic reasons, and nothing else. I find this unforgivable.
I cannot honestly believe any Conservative party member backs this, or sadly, maybe I can.

I don’t take the word “evil” lightly, but she is.
and hypocritical to the nth degree - as you say the daughter of economic migrants.
how does she define the multi-cultural is that doesn’t work, when she herself is operating at the highest level in government (unfortunately) and she is married to a Jew.
I hasten to add I have absolutely nothing against multiculturalis, economic migrants or Jews!

the woman is appalling…..

"I didn't think racist policies would impact MY family!" says BAME woman who introduced racist policies targeting families

So according to our home secretary “Multiculturalism has failed”, insists the mixed-race daughter of 2 economic migrants of Mauritian and Indian descent ... a woman who studied in France, and who married a British Jew on her way to one of the three great offices of state, where she now works for a Hindu prime minister ...
Yes, her entire life is just a catalogue of multicultural failures...

The sheer obliviousness would be hilarious if this individual were not our Home Secretary.

But she isn't oblivious.

She absolutely understands these valid points. But they are in the way of her ambition, to be Prime Minister, so she discards them whatever the consequences for society

You’ve gotta wonder what has happened in her life to make her such a shameless hypocritical horror. Standard it’s ok for me not others Tory shtick

You've got to wonder what the people of Fareham are thinking to vote for her!

I've spent a bit of time in Fareham and I immediately have a few thoughts which i'll keep to myself!

I expect an awful lot of them suffer from the same delusions/conditions. Coming originally from an archetypal small town England kinda place, I thank my lucky stars that I have now spent the last 3 decades living in BnH!

I know some people in Fareham and, of course, Portsmouth, just across the water, did return Admiral Lady Mordaunt!!

Since the GBNews thread is at the bottom of the bin, I may as well mention here.

In any case Rees Mogg has a game show on there based on future infrastructure funding called Blankety Blank so it's related.

GB News suspends Laurence Fox over comments about female journalist

Broadcaster says it will apologise to Ava Evans about Fox’s comments about her on Dan Wootton’s show

www.theguardian.com

If you haven't had chance to see the interchange, I can't see how either can continue on there.

There is a currently a bit of a melt down between Fox and Wootton on Twitter. Fox seemingly now gone, wants to pull a others down with him.

Fareham is the kind of place where they think mayonnaise is spicy

 

[Stato]

Laurence Fox - A man who grew up in wealth and privilege, owing any minor success he had to his family name. Radicalised by YouTube videos, presumably because his massive ego made him a prime audience for the lie that rich, white, middle class blokes didn't get any advantage from being born rich, white and middle class. He would love to be thought of as a 21st century Alan B'stard, but is actually too thick to be Piers Fletcher-Dervish.

Wootton and Fox should both be suspended imo.

I also think the police should be investigating Wootton, but that's another scenario.
