The Tories want to keep Boris around to soak up the blame for the cost of living crisis, and anything else this hellworld has in store for us. They’ll ditch him with just enough time before the next election to install someone new they can ludicrously claim represents a fresh start.

The thing about the Yorkie bar “not for girls” visual is that it misses the context that at the time all other chocolate was relentlessly marketed to women. Yorkie were exploiting the gap in the market that men actually did like chocolate.

some news on those mysterious "American candy" shops https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-61810743

(i think we discussed them here before?)

so the actual product is fraudulent as well as the business model, hmm

The fact that this went down immediately after the new council got in suggests the previous (Tory) council was in on the scam.

In other news, looks like the focus groups shifted:

Kind of incredible (though entirety expected) that the government attempts to deport asylum seekers to an internment camp in Rwanda and then the next day the PM’s ethics advisor quits - but because of some parties. And it seems that none of the media thinks that’s weird.

And then they launched BNW with pretty much no publicity (on their streaming service only I think), just so the network shitlords can say 'see, they didn't like it, back to grimdark bullshit I guess.'

All the new Star Trek shows have only been on their streaming service (in America, and now here that it's launched), and BNW has been extremely well-received.

I do vaguely wonder if Boris will stay in place in order to soak up blame for the shitstorm we’re all in, and then a reasonable time before the next election he’ll stand down and all the senior Tories can say “as you know, I was always deeply critical of Boris” and claim to be honourable when they run for leader.

Lmao if you think Boris would take a bullet for anything or anyone

Lol of course he wouldn’t. But this doesn’t require him to. Boris gets to stay big dog for a while longer, and who knows, maybe he can turn it around? Meanwhile the party just waits around for a year while Boris soaks up blame and can finally chuck him once the rules allow, just in time to roll into the next election. It’s going to be pretty weird to have a pariah prime minister though.

Anyway, it’s kind of remarkable how this whole drama is going on around a scandal that is hardly mentioned. I know it’s because that MP groped some dudes but everything else about who knew what when and all that is just a bare relevant footnote when it’s ostensibly the actual centre of everything.
