As the old adage goes, 'Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.'....Shame on this country for giving power to these lot so many times.

I was having a very similar with a colleague today NYE. How can people still believe the utter tosh that comes out of the mouths of Tories. I just don’t get it. At least there's something to smile about at last. The people of Brexit supporting Kent are now whining at the prospect of the 27 acre holding area required to park up lorries whilst customs checks are performed. You couldn't make it up. What did they think was going to happen post Brexit and the return of hard borders?

They thought all the brown people would go and then there would be less people queuing for the booze and fag runs across to Calais...

It's almost as if they're constantly lowering the bar to see just how gullible the public are. "Bloody hell, I didn't think they'd fall for that, let's see if they fall for this...." I honestly believe that, in conversations that only a select few are privy to, they're laughing their heads off at us all, Duds.

I honestly believe that, in conversations that only a select few are privy to, they're laughing their heads off at us all, Duds. This is what Government by focus group looks like. Come up with a policy, get your favourite newspaper proprietors to advertise it, when it all turns to sh*t, get your favourite newspaper proprietors to tout it as a success or, better still ignore it altogether and bingo!
If you want an example look at the "eat out to help out" bullshit. Nice catchy headline, words containing few enough syllables for the village idiot to understand and you're away because no-one in the popular press is going to question whether the party of fiscal prudence has a clue what it's on about or question where the party who has consistently over many years stated that there is no "magic money tree" has suddenly found the cash.
When you consider that half of the children admitted to hospital in the first 6 months of this year were suffering from malnutrition as a direct result of mounting poverty in this country, rising as a direct result of the Tory Party's unnecessary austerity policies this is one of the most disgusting policies imaginable. But Hey! The Tories are the natural party of Government, at least in the view of an increasing number of the terminally stupid who seem to think that bowing and scraping to the privileged classes amounts to taking back control.

Bullseye! Nail on head, mate. The S*n had a huge front page photo just before the pubs were about to open, showing some white van tw## holding a tray of umpteen pints of beer with the headline "THIRSTY BRITS....". I was going to take a photo of it and post it here, but I got greater pleasure from throwing the sh*te in the nearest bin. This is just one example of how this government and its media masters are trying to brainwash the country into thinking everything is ok. For anyone wondering. No I DON'T buy it or read it, but in my line of work we get to see plenty of that rag, most of which are fresh off the presses and left on the canteen tables. Don't ask, but above all else.... DON'T BUY THE S*N.

housemartins:
the people who grinned themselves to death smiled so much they failed to take a breath and even when their kids were starving (see NYE's post on the CV thread) they all thought the queen was charming
the bullingdon club w**kers can talk down to the electorate, and as long as their colleagues in the media mount some red under the bed campaign at whoever is leading labour (although corbyn had to make it so f***ing easy) then the public will just lap up their lies and figure fabricating, regardless of whether the effects stop at their doorstep, or trickle in and drown them and their family.

All of this, but especially Paul and Stan's fantastic lyrics!

Nothing short of outrageous - although that seems to be commonplace these days, so far as anything this Government touches is concerned. Of course, intelligence services could have looked into any suspected overseas interference at the time - but would have needed the go-ahead from the Foreign Secretary to do so. And guess who that was back then...

news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-self-isolation-period-for-those-with-covid-19-symptoms-to-be-extended-to-10-days-12038836"Self-isolation rules are being changed as scientists warn people with coronavirus may be infectious for longer than previously thought.
The chief medical officers of all four UK nations said anyone with symptoms or a positive test result should isolate for 10 days instead of seven."It's taken almost half a year and lord knows how many thousand deaths for them to come to this conclusion? This f***ing government and their 'experts' are sickeningly inept. What the f*** is going on, who the f*** do we trust with our lives and our wellbeing? I was talking to my sister earlier today, she works in a salon where the owner is refusing to insist on mandatory facemasks for all customers. My sister confronted her and was told that she can insist on them as an individual stylist, yet the other two stylists aren't arsed in the slightest and are not enforcing this, so when my sister insists on them to her own customers, they're refusing because nobody else is insisting on them - what kind of f***ing safety is that? This is the kind of sh*t that's putting the public at risk as a result of the blurred to f*** 'guidelines' put in place by these useless Tory tw##s. Anyone still defending these bastards is a f***ing idiot.

Anyone still defending these bastards is a f***ing idiot. It's the kind of bullshit that led to todays announcement that England suffered the worst excess mortality rate in Europe. And yet so many people continue to believe that the Tories can be trusted. They can be trusted to nothing but dissemble, misrepresent fact and lie if it covers their incompetent arses.
This is on the same day that the national audit office accused Johnson of lying in parliament about the number of children living in poverty in this country, a shameful 1.5 million! T
his on the same day that the assistant editor of the right - wing Spectator questions how Sunak can "balance the books" without causing a civil war within his party, the inference being that they won't tolerate tax rises. The answer, you gormless Tory tw@ is that he can't. Taxes must inevitably go up and must fall on those with the ability to pay and yes, that includes those like me on an above average salary so the sooner Sunak comes clean the better.
The country seems to be run by a party keen to appeal to none other than the credulous, selfish and stupid.
