I dunno, wanting to viscerally murder all of my co-workers would be pleasingly refreshing imho.

Especially as they can't sack you for it.

I dunno, being a giant amoral gently caress sounds like it'd be a piece of piss in the UK Parliament, whereas actually wanting to help people in a world of whips and pedos and backroom deals would wind me right up.

Well yeah, and our political systems actively reject and work against people like that, and keep them as far away from the levers of power as possible.

But if you're a giant amoral gently caress, like you're bound to be if you're the Tory Prime Minister, you dug your own grave when you die of a heart attack at the age of 62

If you share your name with a Tory MP, and write a letter to the chairman of the 1922 committee asking for a confidence vote (while crucially at no point in the letter claiming to be said MP), are you committing any offence?

I don't get this. The same person I mentioned upthread who is a fan of Grieve 4 PM thinks Rees-Mogg is a dickhead, but quote: "at least he believes in something and doesn’t feel the need to bow to May."

I believe in driving 80 km/h towards oncoming traffic, and don't feel the need to bow to the law. This is admirable, you should all admire me.

The Labour MP Barry Sheerman says May is a woman of courage who has been let down by her colleagues. He says she has an impossible task, because no Brexit deal is better than the status quo.

Well isn't that essentially what the US and UK do in their Middle East adventures with rather large weaponized head butts.

The big laugh is the far right of the Labour party supported it because they thought it would bring total destruction for ever to the moderate centrist wing (ie Corbyn etc).
