My mum, despite some melty tendencies is pretty left wing but is tragically devoted to the Lib Dems. It is an interesting thought though, because as lovely as they are I'm not entirely sure you could say that over the course of my lifetime they've been overall further to the right than Labour have. The left leaning faction of the Lib Dems don't really seem that objectionable to me, and while I prefer a leftist Labour party as under Corbyn, the truth is that from my perspective the Corbyn era seems like a brief aberration from solid blocks of New Labour dogshit. I can certainly see her argument when she defends the Lib Dems from that perspective.

MINISTRY OF OFFENCE
With the left and right forever going on the offensive, it’s time to restore some order.


At the Ministry of Offence, we invite two teams – one left-leaning, the other right-leaning – to battle it out through the medium of comedy.

This good-natured, quick-witted weekly quiz is hosted by the calm and level-headed Steve N. Allen (as seen on The Mash Report). Our team captains are lefty Diane Spencer and righty Leo Kearse, who will each be joined by a new comedian comrade-in-arms every week.

Leo Kearse is about as funny as finding out you've got arse cancer:

David Rosenberg's analysis of the Forde report. (Left wing, Jewish, resigned from Labour Party a couple of months ago).

At a demonstration earlier this year, by chance, I bumped into a former Labour MP and veteran activist, unafraid to speak out about Palestine, whom I hadn’t seen for ages, and we had a lively chat. She told me about her neighbour’s deep frustration about the endless delays regarding the publication of the Forde Report. Her neighbour was Martin Forde.

Good comedians know how to make people laugh. Leo Kearse makes a specific type of person feel satisfied that he agrees with them. Hes a hack and that first tweet is proof. Hes not making a joke, hes just trying to get a reaction.

TBH I don't like the sugar tax and wish it was gone, let me eat myself to death if I want to, none of the government's bloody business.

Can't have the poors having nice things though, or being healthy and long lived.

Those are things for the "smart" , wealthy, power holding folks. You see its not enough to have all the money and power, you have to remove all joy from those beneath you, and if you manage it, they proved you right by allowing it. If they were your equal you see, they'd be doing it too!

At least i assume that's the logical loop the fuckers go through.

Strong stuff in the torygraph! (Link removes paywall)

Talk of failed elites? In the torygraph?

quote:

A catastrophic energy crisis will fuel a revolt against our failed elites
Politicians cannot shirk responsibility now for the extreme hardship millions of people are about to face

....

But it is Britain where things could truly blow.

The UK may well be the tinderbox of Europe.

....

A civil disobedience movement, inspired by the poll tax revolt, has already been launched here in the UK. The Don’t Pay campaign, which is urging people to join a “mass non-payment strike” when the energy price cap is raised in October, has gained thousands of online supporters.

And if it does take off, what are the authorities going to be able to do about it?

...

This may sound like a grim prognosis, but particularly in Britain it does feel as if we just may have entered the final act of an economic system that has patently failed. It is clearer than ever that the emperor has no clothes and has no more stories to distract us with.

Holy hell, that GB News clip. They couldn't even rustle up enough of an audience to fake canned laughter, so you can just hear the other participants awkwardly guffawing at the 'jokes'. Then they name one of the sections 'Mass debate', a joke which is made and then dismissed forever by most people when they're in about Year 10.
