0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

I haven't seen it mentioned, but the Tories' candidate for London Mayor was also out being a mask-off racist moron and saying the quiet bit out loud earlier:

quote:

The Conservative London mayoral candidate Susan Hall has been criticised for suggesting Jewish people are scared by Sadiq Khan.
She accused London's mayor of having a "divisive attitude", which she said "frightened" some Jewish Londoners.
The comments by Mrs Hall, made at a Conservative Friends of Israel event, have been branded as "dog-whistle politics" by the Jewish Labour Group.
...
Mrs Hall told the Conservative Friends of Israel event that she intended to make London a "safer" place for "everybody".
She said Mr Khan - who is aiming to secure a record third term at next year's mayoral election - was "divisive", and that she knew "how frightened some of the community is" as a result.
"I will ask for as much help as I can get in London because we need to defeat him," she said of her opponent, adding: "Particularly for our Jewish community."

The Board of Deputies, Labour Friends of Israel and everyone's favourite Jewish MP have been vocally denouncing her.
She really doesn't want the job, does she?

An acquaintance of my friend who lives in a caravan in the woods has just been telling us how the word “parliament” comes from “a parley of men” and if you simply refuse the offer of parley, they have literally no power over you. Apparently you can use this to inform the police why it’s not possible for them to arrest you, but I assume we can also use it to just ignore the tories from now on?

I didn’t mention that I’m booked to have my fifth covid jab, it’d only upset them.

That's why the actual power of parliament is vested in the mace, which comes from the Latin matia, meaning "a heavy club that can split your head open."

Yes.

Also science is saying different things to what it said in 1963. Why do they keep changing it? What are they up to?

With a possible bit of a side wink to the people mad about Katalin Karikó winning a Nobel for mRNA vaccine research, but all of those people think that Sunak is a WEF lizard person.

Here's the pictures my friend took of him.

My friend commented that they loved his smirk on the last photo - where he saw that they were taking pictures and was having too much fun to possibly be embarrassed :unsmith:.

I don't know of any separate thread, so I'll post what I have here.

I made a transparent cut-out of him
(apologies if imgur has mangled the transparency)

and I tried photoshopping him into a few sword fights


I was genuinely touched that he recognised me when I visited him at the stockport market, and I'm glad I had the chance to meet him.

Edit: I made something more traditional, too

Here's a cut-out

sure is a lot of red meat being flung around at Conference

agreed that it seems unwise, but perhaps Nerissa Chesterfield (the new press secretary) as a Cummings protege believes in the power of attacking aging consensuses as political fodder

or maybe amidst CON disarray, "when in doubt - Australia" is just the go-to in the vacuum left by the collapse of Cameronism

(Brexit was arguably subject to other dynamics though - and probably if it had been tried a few years earlier or a few years later it would not have worked - still, trying yesterday's strategy on today's challenges is hardly novel as politics goes)

probably that too, but between the singling out of 'biology' and the way seemingly every speaker at the conference has gone out of their way to throw out a few lines on 'we know what a woman is!!!' or 'unlike keir starmer we know a man can never be a woman!!!' even if they're talking about international trade links or whatever, in the immediate term i'm pretty sure they mean 'woke = saying trans people are real/valid'

Those dirty scientists will have to start obeying the immutable binary of biological sex. From now on, worms are boys, snails are girls.

There's nothing, it's purely in anticipation of a future press opportunity. Donelan saw that Gillian Keegan could make headlines by sternly ordering enquiries into That School Where Maybe A Kid Thought She Was A Cat, just like Braverman could get the Mail's approval by telling the police off for investigating golliwogs, and Sunak could somehow get away with declaring that speed limits are Enemies of the People. This is how you get ahead in 2023, which is why Kemi Badenoch is now somehow a viable leadership candidate.

In turn, Donelan correctly believes she can raise her political profile by declaring an investigation into Crimes of Politicised Academic Wokeness at some point in the future once they've found a university fracas involving TERFs to get people mad about.

Yeah that was my read too. I've said it before but if some of these "it's just biology 101" people took biology 201 they would be in for a rude shock finding out all the things organisms get up to when it comes to sex. Human gender innovation have nothing on what evolution has already wrought.

Will there be a Tory leadership election, if so will it be a members vote or a Tory MPs vote?

Or will deputy PM Oliver Dowden become the default choice until the next GE? If he's the choice, then that might explain his weird entrance to the conference:
