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

[nicko31]

Is there a Tory donor that manufactures marquees?

Just asking....

They are still using the oldest tricks in the book. Creating a "Problem, reaction, solution" scenario accompanied with divide and rule amongst the public. Giving these obscene and immoral private contracts such as floating barges to their inner circle whilst funding it all from the public purse. A sad state of affairs and an embarrassment to the UK.

Unfortunately, you're right, and pocketing millions if not billions of our money.


Edit to add, watch out for the Freeport/Charter Cities. It's a long term plane which we must reject, by voting them out.

All this money being spent on hotels and no one in the Tory ecosystem is benefitting much financially. That situation is not sustainable..

Firm managing hotels for UK asylum seekers posts bumper profits

If the Home Office was allowed to get on and process the asylum claims, these poor people could actually get jobs and contribute to the economy. Just 2% of claims were processed last year, yet once processed over 80% are accepted.

Nail on the head. The easiest, cheapest solution was always to simply recruit more staff to process applications. But that would be too humane. It would erode the Government's justification for its callous Rwanda policy. It would mean the whole asylum-seeker issue may very well disappear from the headlines....with the risk that the media might actually focus on real-world issues, such as the appalling state of the NHS, our crumbling schools infrastructure, the industrial scale fraud and corruption amongst our political elite. I could go on.

Last night the Conservativs lost overall control of ESCC when the Lib Dems won the Meads by-election.
For those that don't know, Meads has an average age of 71 and has returned Conservatives since Methuselah was a boy.
Not a particularly close result either with the LD feller bagging over 50% of the vote.

My bone of contention with lil Rishi is he has a place in Santa Monica (with its own gym) and he's not there.

Well clearly my beef with lil Rishi is he's currently in Santa Monica and is coming back to this - how can the man be trusted.

Well

It has taken over a year to make this public.




But let’s all froth at the mouth over Lee Anderson (we already knew he’s a racist thug)

I can only assume that these are either selfish, stupid, or senile (2/3 of Conservative support in every general election comes from old age pensioners, with 'grannies' being the largest category of Daily Mail readers).

Like Trump, today's 'culture wars' Conservative Party appeals mainly to the very rich, and the proudly uneducated; the latter admiring the likes of Nadine Dorries, Suella Braverman, and attention-seeking gobshites like Lee Anderson (a Pound Shop Norman Tebbit).
