Along with talking about how he still wants to cut benefits for the wealthy, Clegg's been saying that the country should be thankful to the lib dems for all the heinous poo poo they stopped the conservatives from doing. This claim is ridiculed as Cameron's depicted as a mad axe-wielding bastard with Clegg a useless prophylaxis failing to stop the cuts.

You realise the story you linked to is about the UKIP suspending a candidate because he wants mandatory abortion for Down's babies, right? It's exactly the opposite of what you're implying.

The comic is probably nothing more complicated than the Queen disliking the tories when she actually meets them and switching her vote to the nearest protest group, i.e. UKIP. It was probably drawn before the eugenics story.

The link was really meant to be a "look at this" thing rather than an actual suggestion about the political and eugenic leanings of the queen.

In the same way the BNP don't want to openly talk about thinking Hitler was an alright bloke, UKIP don't want to talk about how their members support Eugenics.

Jedit posted:OK, tell me how the Queen is indicating her support for eugenic eradication of Down's babies by voting for a party that just unequivocally opposed it? Not an answer to your question but the UKIP's initial response to this was "what's the big deal, he's just saying. incidentally he'd make an excellent councillor." Then when they realised people were much more offended by it than UKIP presumed they would be, THEN they suspended him.

Nah, Poor conservatives prefer the daily star or the sun (or in happier times the news of the world). The daily mail is more your lower-middle class conservative paper. You know the kind of people who vote ukip, or worry about the EU giving rights to the wrong sort of people, or the fact that some of the people living on their street might be gay or ethnic minorities and won't somebody please think of the children!

Fluo posted:Guardian: Note that the sign on the Fur Cup identifies George Osborne as The Fearless Gideon. Osborne changed his name from Gideon to George when he was in his teens, claiming that he never liked it. However, a school friend recalls Osborne saying he changed his name because he didn't think the British people would elect a Prime Minister with an obviously Jewish name. (Clearly he forgot Benjamin Disraeli, who was born Jewish - and was also a Conservative.)

I like this particularly choice quote from Gideon's Wikipedia article:quote:In 2009 when David Cameron was asked whether or not he would be willing to sack a close colleague such as Osborne, he stated, "With George, the answer is yes. He stayed in my shadow cabinet not because he is a friend, not because we are godfathers to each other's children but because he is the right person to do the job. I know and he knows that if that was not the case he would not be there. "[17] Hmmmmmm

I never fail to be gobsmacked when looking at Osborne's Wikipedia article. The man's history doesn't qualify him to be a shift manager at Tesco, and yet there he is, nominally running one of your bigger economies.

Those who cannot, teach. Those who cannot teach, train teachers. And those who cannot train teachers, administrate. I don't believe there is anyone in any position in any government in the world who is actually qualified for the job, Chancellor/Secretary of the Treasury least of all. Anyone qualified to run a national economy is in the private sector making tens of millions a year.
