Comrade Fakename posted:ITV News going hard: Why do they still have a loving reputation? After killing over 150,000 sick and disabled people through benefit sanctions? After mangling the brexit negotiations and reigniting the troubles in Northern Ireland? After killing a further 120,000 people through the botched covid response while they dumped the response money into their mates bank accounts? While they used their majority to asset strip the NHS, remove protest rights, and allow the police to break the law with impunity? I wonder if there's anyone who could have maybe stopped that from happening by not constantly laundering their reputation? You absolute loving weapon! AAAAAAAAAGGGHHH E: this country does not deserve s picture of my dog.

stev posted:What really boils my piss is that this would have been so much more damaging last January when the outrage was fresh but the usual suspects just decided not to tell anyone about it for a year. This should be the real scandal. There's absolutely no way that senior journalists only just found out about this video now. They've sat on it all year, and decided that now is the moment to try and force change of government. The public's main take away from this should be the realisation of how much influence and control the media has in deciding who runs the country.

WAR CRIME GIGOLO posted:I said this a week or so ago about scandals every 6 hours. I read through 100 UKMT posts and in horror what do I see? Like scandals every 6 hours I just want to say loving hell. HOW ARE THEY STILL IN GOVERNMENT Your second paragraph in part answers the first. But we have literally no way to get the Tories out of government. Even if every Tory MP faced a recall, they'd still be in charge until the by-elections, and they'd probably win most of those if not all regardless. And that's assuming they didn't just use the intervening six weeks to change the law allowing them to retroactively dismiss petitions for recall.

Labour can't be forceful about this because you know for sure they had parties as well during that time and those will be released as soon as they say something that's worded any stronger than "pease choke me harder, tory daddy"

From a strategic point of view surely calling for a police investigation would be more damaging that calling for an apology or an inquiry, if the cops don’t want to do it point out that they have been doing for ordinary people holding parties to highlight the ‘one rule for them, another for the rest of us’ divide

In this one instance I can understand why Starmer is probably nervous of going in two-footed, because the moment he does it will 100% come out that someone in Labour also had a Christmas party. Better to ask open-ended questions and let Boris hang himself. lol at The Sun pretending this story doesn't exist https://twitter.com/OwenJones84/status/1468354530278613002

If he were worth anything he would also want the labour fuckers doing it to eat poo poo. But of course that's not the point, the point is still one rule for them and one rule for us, just he can't make it in the big boy leagues.

The point is to break people on the altar of their own compassion, or to saturate them with outrage into a defeated stupor. The point is to keep people arguing for team red, or team blue, or gently caress it team yellow, all the while knowing they're running out of the larder with their mouths full and the kitchen on fire. The complicit are bribed - either directly, or indirectly; or just with the idea that their pile of bricks will continue to be worth just as much as another pile of bricks, or the vile little notion that somebody is slightly more hosed than they are. Think the only sane thing to do is check out and look after those you love. None of this circus is accidental no matter who expresses what. Turn the tap off. The poison will bulge in the pipes whether or not you're drinking it. There'll come a time to do something, and it will be a few minutes after the last suit earnestly claims that nothing could have been done.

Yeah, Labor losing a few MP's to make an example doesn't hurt, they are already the opposition, but it makes more pressure on the Tories. The sad thing is, even twenty years ago this would have brought down the government and we'd be talking about a general election now. We're post shame sadly.
