Tories are lying *******s (warning may contain traces of Tory)

[Andy Bee]

Cross purposes? I was saying that any MP or MSP will use their background to take on consultancy roles when they leave. She or a he can’t possibly do that while an elected meneber. Although actually I think MPs can and do, maybe MSPs too. It has to be declared and dropped if one becomes a minister?

A few interesting inputs, I didn't realise the speaker was such a big fitbaw fan.

There should be a rule against a sitting mp changing seat.

Apparently Boris Johnson is ditching Uxbridge and South Ruislip (majority of 5,034) and scarpering off to stand in Rutland & Melton (majority of 23,104).

Not sure he has to worry. Labour have put a far-right Corbanysta into the seat which is pretty centrist.

Lots of MPs standing down from Labour and the Tories. Interestingly, a disproportionate number of women - I think I heard that around 40% of the number were female- with many citing the violent and misogynistic abuse they were facing, usually from faceless cowards on social media.

A former Labour donor has pledged £5,000 to try to help Ross Thomson retain the Aberdeen South seat for the Conservatives.
The donation from property developer Alan Massie was registered on October 9 and a spokesman for Mr Thomson confirmed that it was for his campaign for re-election.
Mr Massie, a director of Carlton Rock who now lives in Jersey, was previously one of Labour’s top private donors.

Scottish Conservative MP Ross Thomson is to stand down after being accused of sexually assaulting a Labour MP in a Commons bar.
Mr Thomson said he had made the "hardest decision of my life" not to contest the seat for Aberdeen South at the general election.
Labour MP Paul Sweeney had said he reported Mr Thomson to Westminster's standards watchdog following the alleged incident last October.

Here's what Houghton is quoted as saying.


Ryan Houghton
I find no credible evidence to suggest the Holocaust did not happen. I think that's a baseline of historical fact, anyone who says otherwise. Stand by. But I do find some of the events fabricated and exagarated in some cases. As history is written by the victors there is always going to be a bit of 're-writing.'



Here's what you said recently.


Fife-Hibee
Whenever you hear about WW2 you will always hear about the mistreatment of Jewish people (and rightfully so). However, you almost never hear a thing about the way the Japanese treated war prisoners, which was utterly horrific. Perhaps the hushing up of it in the history books was all part and partial of their little deal with the US? You also hear very little about the way communists were treated and the huge influence they had on the overall outcome of the war.

The full focus is on Jewish people now, as if their lives somehow matter more than anybody elses. This in my view is by design. It's being used as a beating stick against anybody who speaks out about the agenda of the Israeli state and the strong media and political influences they have over other countries.

It looks like you two would get on just fine together.

Every so often your posts contain interesting observations or valid/arguable points, but I've started to tune out because I feel your hypocrisy and inability to take responsibility for your own words/actions suggests you are someone who isn't actually worth listening to.

[lapsedhibee]

"The Tories are sending targeted ads from the PM to voters in specific constituencies saying their seat is “one of the nine seats needed to Get Brexit Done” ... but they are sending them out to dozens of constituencies."

And the Guardian article goes on to name 40 or so constituencies.

An idea perhaps borrowed from Johnson himself when he's trying to make a potential new mother feel a bit more special than she actually is.

What a farce the honours system is. 'Sir' Ian Duncan-Smith, the man who refused to release the figures around how many people had committed suicide after being declared fit to work and removed from disability benefits. The man whose sanctions system created an explosion in the number of food banks. In true all Orwellian language these 'reforms' were designed to help people escape the 'trap' of welfare dependency. "Your benefits payments have been stopped, now you're free and no longer dependent. You should thank us". Utter ****.

IDS is pure ideological right-wingism, utterly destestable in its complete and utter disregard for the weak and vulnerable.

Maybe the centrist, labour types who sat on their hands, whilst the Tories voted through the policies they now despise, will realise what they've done to their heartlands.

I've always wondered how much IDS saved for the country following his benefit reforms.

On one hand we have a reduction in people entitled to benefit (a reduction I believe was not that great, because it turned out the majority of those claiming were entitled to what they were getting.)

On the other hand there is the amount shelled out to Atos, and Crapita, to deliver an assessment system that wasn't fit for purpose.

If Labour had been any use at all they could have exploited that.

If you consider the amount of appeals that resulted in overturning the initial decisions and rightly so I'd wager he actually cost the country, not to mention the stress and anxiety he caused, he's not fit for purpose, the thought of him getting a knighthood beggars belief, odious little cretin.

Or the government is checking what it is spending your money on and wants to make sure it’s being spent in the best way.

Depends on how you want to spin it I suppose.

But on the face of it it’s not really a ridiculous concept for a new government to review what its departments are spending to see if some of that current spending can be reassigned to their new priorities.

The alternative is they just lump more spending on top of current spending without challenging what that is.

When the railways were nationalised before they were terrible and nobody used them. If they are just going to nationalise then then I think it’s a mistake. I don’t think that’s what they will be doing long term though.

I actually love the idea. I know it would never pass any kind of cost benefit analysis but neither would HS2. In fact half the railways in Britain would never have been built if modern risk assessment methods had applied.
There are obviously massive technical aspects to be overcome but we never used to shy away from such challenges. Being able to get a train from Edinburgh to Dublin or Belfast in a few hours has massive appeal though. On the whole, very few societies ever regret building a bridge.

The topography of the seabed and it's considerable depth (almost twice as deep as the English channel) make it a ridiculous idea that would cost a jaw-dropping amount of money to make possible. Not to mention the small matter of over a million tons of munitions dumped in Beaufort Dyke.

Do you mean down through Tarbert and past Campbeltown? I'm not super familiar with that area but I know it's not flat and is fairly hilly. Again, that would cost an absolute fortune to get the infrastructure in place in this kind of terrain. I just can't ever see it happening due to cost and intense complications the entire project would inevitably contain.

I saw an article once that suggested three bridges crossing to Arran, Campbeltown and then over to NI. No idea how complex all this would be.

Campbeltown is about a 3 hour drive from Glasgow (even on the rare occasions the A83 isn't closed by landslides at the rest and be thankful) so that would be a total non-starter.

https://amp.theguardian.com/politics/2020/feb/10/checks-on-eu-bound-goods-inevitable-gove-tells-business-leaders?CMP=share_btn_tw&__twitter_impression=true

Michael Gove has told businesses that trade with Europe they need to prepare for “significant change” with “inevitable” border checks for “almost everybody” who imports from the EU from next year.

https://www.fwi.co.uk/news/eu-referendum/two-tier-brexit-food-standards-system-unacceptable-nfus-warns

During a session on how UK government policy will affect Scottish farming at the NFUS annual conference on Thursday (6 February), a farmer asked Mr Ross if imported foods would have to meet the same high standards as food produced on UK farms.

The MP replied: “There are ongoing discussions on this point. [International trade secretary] Liz Truss has been just announcing some things today.

“Ultimately, it’s up to the market and if products come in like that, I am reassured that consumers will know which are the best products to purchase.”

Farmers in the audience at the conference in Glasgow roundly jeered Mr Ross for his comments.

He went on: “They will be reassured that the produce from Scottish farmers and UK farmers is of a significant standard, that they would not want to buy chlorinated chicken, or hormone-induced beef.

“It is an issue that we are looking at in any [trade] deals going forward and it’s one at the very top of the agenda for ministers across various departments who are looking at this.”


Frictionless trade, less red tape, maintaining high standards - its all ****ing bull****.

Thinking about this, it's kind of ironic that the circumstance in which this grand projet might make sense is if RoI/NI/Scotland are all in the single market and England and Wales aren't. If Johnson can get it ready for independence day, then ok, maybe not a totally stupid idea.

Does anyone know if the £20 Bn estimated price tag (I'm presuming this is a total guess anyway and would in reality be overrun multiple times) is supposed to include the costs of upgrading road and rail links (currently woefully inadequate) from central Scotland to the bridge? Also, anyone know what the road/rail situation is like on the Irish side?

Apparently Cummings is losing a lot of the internal Tory battles. He has so far failed to get:

- Javid sacked or moved in reshuffle
- HS2 scrapped
- 10 Downing St internally restructured to an open plan office with him and Johnson at the centre
- his choice (Andy Haldane) appointed as BoE governor
- clearance to recruit his own civil servants outside the usual structures

Looks like they used him to win the election but are now trying to sideline him. What a shame.

He is also raging (but in this case all the Tories are) that they have to follow due legal process to deport immigrants with criminal convictions to Jamaica (some of whom arrived in the UK as young as 2).

Two wrongs don't make a right as they say but the way the two cases recently have been handled have not been consistent. I realise that a government minister is higher up the tree than a local councillor but it has been totally off the scale and I don't see Murdo and Jackson getting all worked up about someone who was actually convicted of sexual assault. It is pretty crap to see stuff like this politicised as there are low life's in every party and organisation.

There will be many nights in future that she won't work so she's entitled to make hay when the sun shines, and there isn't an election every night.

We need to be a bit careful with our "politics of envy" - how far do we take it?

I think we're right to take the BBC to task when they decide to splurge a load of license fee payers' cash on big names who may or may not deserve it but ITV, Sky etc can do what they like, if they can afford it.

At least three government ministers - Churchill, Whately, and Johnson - have today responded to detailed questions about the country's readiness to deal with multiple cases of coronavirus by not answering the questions posed at all, but instead repeating how ready everything is and how the most important thing is to wash your hands more often.

What are they like, the Chinese - if only they had had access to soap! :bitchy:

No other sitting politician has earned that for giving their opinion on a general election night, it's obscene and immoral

And let's just forget the getting on with the day job ***** that she levelled at any other party. She's a complete charlatan that'll soon have her place in the Lords, awardeed by a **** that she supposedly doesn't like

Davidson has pretty much decided now that she is in it for every penny she can make. It weakens her for heading up BT2 though so that’s good.

Did she not turn down a lucrative London job a wee while ago? :dunno:

Only after heavy criticism up here. As soon as she goes to the lords she will be taking that job and others.

Seems like Priti is as horrible as she appears https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-51687287

Right wing press will no doubt blame snowflake civil servants.

The UK government is investigating the possibility of digging a tunnel between Scotland and Northern Ireland, the Scottish secretary has said.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has previously raised the idea of a bridge being built across the Irish Sea.
But Alister Jack told MSPs this was a "euphemism" for a tunnel, saying "it would be less expensive to tunnel it".

Since when was 'Bridge' a euphenism for 'Tunnel' :rolleyes:

Mrs Ozyhibby’s cousin works for her and she says that she is every bit as bad as she is portrayed and worse sometimes. Not a nice woman to be around at all.

I know you shouldn't go by appearances, but she has something reptilian about her. If reptiles sneer and snarl at all those around them that is.

Has there ever been a nice female Tory mp?
