Morning all.

There's a weird, big, yellow ball in the sky. Should I be worried?

Is that a euphemism for our next PM?

I keep thinking I know what Tories are like and yet they keep surprising me with their hypocrisy and venality. They'll overlook anything and stoop to any level to get Johnson elected & installed as PM. What exactly they think he's going to do when he gets there, with a hostile and hung parliament, is beyond me. I'm kind of hoping they're stupid enough to think he can win them a majority & give us an early chance to get them out.

HindleA · Post by **HindleA** » Sat 22 Jun, 2019 12:14 pm

If anything this sort of stuff only adds to his "colour"for the Boris fans.

Twitter supposedly take a dim view of doxxing as well, though I am not holding my breath there either.

Correct and to be congratulated behaviour,take it upon yourself to get people by the neck at a security monitored function.Incorrect behaviour to be suspected and condemned contacting the proper authorities on more than reasonable grounds of concern of safety of others.

Willow904 · Post by **Willow904** » Sat 22 Jun, 2019 4:45 pm

Apparently it's not Johnson's fault he acted like a tantrumming child, but ours for knowing about it. Or something.

He'll make a brilliant PM, as long as we all pretend he isn't doing what he's doing and acting like he's acting, because noticing he's a lazy, rude, womanizing twatface is unfair and partisan.

Here ends a public service announcement by a panicking Tory press.

Willow904 · Post by **Willow904** » Sat 22 Jun, 2019 4:50 pm

"How dare someone who doesn't like Boris Johnson say something true about him"

"Only people who think he's wonderful are allowed to criticise him, except if they criticise him they clearly don't think he's wonderful so they can shut up too"

Am I doing it right?

That’s more or less what Jay Rayner asked her on Twitter.

Afternoon all.

So, I celebrated the nicest day of summer so far...by going to the library all day. It was pretty deserted.

And sorry to keep harping on about Pearson, but a past tweet of hers is now causing not a little amusement.

Pearson asking twitter to tell everyone where Boris Johnson lives. Interesting ideas about personal security.

Not so's I've noticed. But there does seem to be emerging the idea that if you suspect someone is committing an offence, you have to have a chat with them first to see if their political views are the same as yours. If they are - feel free to dial 999. If they're not - let them carry on, unimpeded.

Morning.

Three years since the EU Referendum. This is what I posted on FB at the time.

had a 2hr +meeting at school and then went and voted in the nursery next door.

That the Leave side seems to have no idea what will happen post-Brexit apart from saying "Yeah, we'll be fine. Trust us" when the "us" are people I wouldn't even trust to tell me the right time made it a simple choice.

Still the case even now.

That's only if the "someone" in question is right wing, mind.

Anybody else is fair game.

In a way it is an accurate description, given how it was never a coalition of equals. But no, you suspect that isn't the actual reason the Graun uses it.

Call it what it is. It's a cult.

Those who bang on incessantly about the cult of Corbyn need to pause and look at what's happening here and acknowledge that this is exactly the same.
