Election Year or Fear!

[Geoff Parkstone]

A little perplexing the banned words for sure, but at least this way the boy scouts amongst us dont have to refer to our ***gles. I seem to remember some years ago we tested the system to see what was allowed and what wasnt - there were some grievous anomalies

NL. The 3 party leaders reached agreement and yesterday they had meetings with their MPs to let them see the content. The 3 meet again today to discuss any minor adjustments the MPs have suggested /demanded. Tomorrow the plan will be presented to Parliament. Cabinet expected to be named in the next week to 10 days. Then they can start work. 3 months from election date to coalition being formed. However, there was a 5 month period pre election from the time the previous cabinet fell.

they sound like the Weyward Sisters...when shall we three meet again

What a futile and banal comment. The last 3 coalitions have taken 6, 8 and 9 months between election date and coalition forming. I think you might have been attempting humour. Fail.

Moving on and more seriously. I’m no advocate of anarchy and it doesn’t sound, from a distance, as if the Netherlands have been experiencing such a state over recent times, but what, in your opinion, has been the clearest manifestation of this period of lack of effective leadership and government?

I’m sure Swale meant ‘right wing’. He’s not immune to typos, but I am surprised ‘w@g’ got through seeing as we’re not allowed to say s*x, or vit@l. Just shows how bonkers those who run the site can be. (No, not you AF…the useless untouchables and uncontactables above you.)

Eh yes mea culpa, must read my posts back, but when one has posted it twice, copied it and eventually got it posted one loses the will to live.

Mm I'd include the useleess untouchbles as AF, who always fails to make any sensible comment whenever his favoured right wing grifters are shown to be liars, purveyors of bull**** and hate.

But bizarrely comes down heavy when one accidentally infers that 40% of those "wonderful community minded" chaps and ladies who rioted, were known to the police in connection with domestic abuse, child abuse and ***ual offences. I wondered why he was so quick to be the "hard man" on that issue?

I mean its not like any of them would sue this site is it and it was probably not too big a correlation to say that if 40% of those arrested were known to the police, that a significant percentage of those ignorant thugs taking part were of similar ilk. But then it struk me, perhaps AF had friends involved in the riots, highly likely given he seems broadly supportive of racists, xenophobes islamaphobs and the like.

Ok this one breaks my new years resolution somewhat, but rest assured temporarily.

Never thought I'd see Swale referring to someone as a "right wog hate monger and grifter". Been taking public speaking lessons from Alf Garnett?

Thank goodness for that, I'm rather enjoying not have to read the BS you post and your pathetic attempts at humour. Long may it last!

[swaledale]

Its interesting, maybe the Tory party will morph back to a party that is actually composed of "sensible" politicians? Reform is now the place for the loons, grifters, gob****es, those incapable of rational thought and whose view of themselves far exceeds their ability.

How Farage is going to be able to sell reform as a "new" way of doing politics when the majority of its MP's are Tory failures?

Another of Goodwin's bizarre claims, is this claim that a uinveristy educated elite hold the power, when firstly he is univeristy eductaed and secondly its obvious that its financial institutions and a the billionaires who have the power and he doesn't mention them and is more than happy to be funded by them!

Oops spoke to soon. No sooner had I posted that the Tory party might become more sensible, than Bad Enoch gives a speech basically saying that the Tories were more right wing than Refom and she had gone further to the right since becoming leader and anybody who disagreed with that should leave the party!!

So presumably all non extreme right leaning conservatives will now defect to the Liberal party?? She is nearly as crazy as Truss, becuase trying to out Reform Reform isn't going to work. Ah well back to political chaos where hate, division, lies, etc rules.

Reform report Labour to police for posting video where Matt Goodwin says negative things about Manchester

Bit sensitive, they won't cope in government if this makes them tearful

Police told them no offence committed.

Reform now threatening to sue Kemi Badenoch for mental health comments about Suella Braverman unless she gets an apology from Badenoch...even though Badenoch has apologised.

This from a party led by farage who labelled Zack Polanski a lunatic not long ago.
