The Eye-catching thing about that Johnson Nonsense, is that the top rate of tax in the UK is only 40%, and that it starts at £50,000. People in the UK pay very little income tax compared with pretty much everywhere else in Europe. Gove wants to get rid of VAT, which leaves you to wonder how he's going to replace 20% of the UK's tax receipts.

Johnson's policy announcement being widely criticised from all quarters as reported on the BBC website, without any supporting voices that I could see.

Anyway, there are a lot of candidates officially launching their bids at the moment, with Penny Mordaunt surprisingly backing Hunt. With the Gove campaign on the skids after the charlie revelations and Raab performing badly at speaking events, it looks like the final two could be BoJo and Hunt, unless Javid can get a bit of momentum.

I thought postal voting was more prevalent in the UK, so how does that equate to colour?

I remember canvassing voters in Rochdale in the 1990s. I'd knock on the door, and a meek woman would answer and when I asked how she voted, she'd say 'oh, he decides that for us' and step away from the dooras her husband approached.
The meek white, elderly woman would then stand aside and let her gruff, white Tory voting husband come and tell me to fuck off.

This is getting serious.
I expect Raab to announce that he garroted a drifter on the Isle of Dogs just to see him die.

Was Gove's candidature speech today full of sexual innuendo today? I think there's a story about Johnson going to come out soon, it's probably an open secret about his bastard son rather than love child.

Originally posted by ooh aah View PostThere's an episode of The New Statesman where the government realise that Britain's oil reserves are about to run out, and there's also an Election looming. The Tories don't want to take the blame for the inevitable economic shitshow that would follow, so Alan B'Stard suggests putting Piers Fletcher-Dervish in charge of the election campaign, on the basis that he would make a complete pig's ear of it, Labour will win, and then they'll be in government during the economic crash. The plan is that the tories would then gain a crushing victory in the subsequent election. Unfortunately Fletchr-Dervish is so transparently incompetent that Labour get wind that something is up, and so they try not to win the election either. Before long all 3 political parties are doing their best not to win the election because nobody wants to have to deal with the economic clusterfuck that is about to happen.
I'm guessing this is basically the same reason why all these tory leadership contenders are now claiming to be former drug addicts. They have to be in the race so they don't get called cowards for not entering, but none of them actually want to win this time round.
Since they won, our mainstream media suddenly 'discovered' the economy was tanking and we've had a bunch of Chinese Naval ships chug into Sydney unannounced. The general consensus is that these were arranged prior to the election in an attempt to embarrass the new Labor government and when the new Tory government got in it was too late to stop them. The difference is that these c*nts are unembarrassable (if that's a word; otherwise you get my drift).

Apparently Gary Lineker and Dr. Brian Cox are backing Rory Stewart's campaign!
When I attempted to verify the former's endorsement I was informed that today's is the 33rd anniversary of his hat-trick against Poland at the World Cup and the 29th anniversary of him taking a dump on the pitch against the Republic of Ireland in the next tournament. I wonder which one he recalls more fondly.

Raab's NDA for apparent bullying and sexual discrimination is now getting picked up. Still look moves re Johnson and his NDA/injunction re his child he refused to pay any money towards. Or the rumours of him demanding his mistresses had abortions.
