So Tory MPs voting to back their guilty MP from suspension..

Completely agree with this.

 

We might laugh at the idea, but what the Mail, Express etc print on their front page is taken as gospel by the brain-dead fu¢ks that read those sh|trags. Boris to save Christmas, Boris to the rescue, Boris fights the frogs etc etc etc ad-fu¢king-nauseam. They lap it up....

 

And if they're not reading the rubbish they're listening to the same bile on the right wing opinion radio stations.
Shock jocks used to say rude and taboo things and folk would laugh, now it's pure Nazi propaganda.

 

For some reason, there are significant numbers who can't possibly understand how parliament works. That despite voting for a party for x years, that things haven't got better for them. The link between voting for a party and it physically being in power doesn't seem to be made in their heads.

By the time of the next election its feasible we're well on the route to boundary "reform"... or in other words, it will be more difficult to get a governing party other than the Tories.

It's likely that there will be internal governance of parliamentary standards, headed by a conservative MP, with a majority of conservative MP's, without any independent input.

It's likely that judicial reviews will not be possible. Meaning the government can't be held to account for its decisions, however disastrous and however corrupt.

It's likely the visual media we are subjected to in the UK will ALL be right wing, or worse. Channel 4 is to be sold off and the levers of BBC news and political reporting have been seized.

It's likely that it will be harder to vote. Or shall I say, harder to vote for those who generally don't vote for the tories with the issuing of ID cards and proof of identity required before being allowed in a voting booth.

This all means a government can do what it likes, say what it likes, report what it likes and claim what it likes. Without impunity or consequence.

Take back control.

They have done. For themselves. Not for anyone else.

 

Most of them are probably worried about what might happen to them if he's punished.

 

If I accepted £50 from a supplier, then later acted improperly to benefit that supplier financially, I would go through a disciplinary process, be sacked, then face a prosecution under the Bribery Act 2010.

An MP was found to have accepted £100k+ per year from two suppliers who he acted improperly for by not declaring his interest, and went through a disciplinary process - that found him guilty (and a committee upheld the decision) and they vote to stop the process and start another one because they don't like it.

 

It's getting to the point where I would think that any reasonable person (even people who hold beliefs that traditionally align with Conservative values) should be incapable of voting for them.

As far as I'm concerned anyone who votes for them next time round is either gullible or a ****.

The problem is how to reach the people who have been misled without sneery self-satisfied paragraphs like the one I've just written. The left needs ways to engage with the people who should be its core voters that don't involve calling them thick or racist.

 

And the said MP got to vote to save himself....like being on your own jury

 

I must say, I was amazed at the gall of the man to actually sit there and listen to the debate. Knowing full well he was going to be given a stay of execution.

 

Sociopaths and voyeurism

 

The question is going to be, at what point do people openly acknowledge that they made a mistake. Or, at what point do they privately acknowledge they have made a mistake and change their voting intention.

Will it be when they realise there are no new hospitals? Or there are no new police? Or the brexit bonanza hasn't emerged? Or they lose a loved one through covid. Or they lose their job because the industry has been hammered and can't continue. Or when they can't get their favourite products as readily. Or inflation has decimated their standard of living? Or something else from the god knows how many reasons to justifiably rally against the tory vote. And that's before we get to sleaze, corruption and pure mendacity.

The thing that really worries me, and I touched on it earlier is that there is the brexit party vote that will largely stack at the next GE that is likely to turn the north bluer still. Though there may be some hope that some parts of the tory heartlands are turned yellow if the libdems can replicate what they did in the last by election.

Where Labour go from here, I genuinely don't know.

 

Unfortunately that’s how it is and until the media give them up nothing will change .
Blair and new Labour understood that .
We are run by fekin paper Barons , TV Moguls and internet providers and social network Tsars aiding targeted propaganda .
You only have to look on this board as a tiny amount of evidence when they write opinions which they claim is solely theirs but is straight off the Tory Press or a blogger spewing vile inaccuracies as gospel.

 

Some folk vote for them so to make a point. They feel they're being looked down upon by people who are liberal, who want to change things for the better, who are probably white collar workers and have been educated at university.
They seem to revel in it, even though the government are hurting them financially in every part of their lives.
They seem to knowingly ignore that it's the nasty liberals who are fighting daily to make life better for those worst off.

 

The liberal elites. Trying to take over the country. Unelected bureaucrats. Wealthy lawyers fighting the poor old national government just because they like Winston Churchill and the good old red white and blue.

How very dare they say they fight for "us" but only to feather their own nest.

The irony would be funny in some cases, but not this.

 

Disgraceful behaviour.

 

Yayyyyy another political post, you just cannot heve enough political posts.

 

It’s because we care you thick Tory pillock, you just sit back in your twilight years not giving a fek just because you vote for them and therefore it’s ok to ruin our country in the name of rule Britannia/ Little England.

 

What he's done should be a 2 year prison sentence for me.

 

If your mates keep acting despicably then we'll continue to call them out on that.
