Of course Ian Dunt's big problem is the idea that she didn't sit on the story about the Press and the government collaborating to protect the Tories because it hurts the press.

Of loving course it is.

Conservatives are always screaming about people needing to grow up and then you hear their concerns and it's always the dumbest poo poo.

I think it extremely likely that there is a correlation between this look and being deeply wounded by your relationship with your unavailable dad.

You either go full Frank Turner and become the patron saint of the waifs and strays or full Tory and become the patron saint of desperately climbing the ladder standing on literally anyone who gets in your way in a bid to get some sort of recognition from your father.

Eton and many other private boarding schools are not good places and what they do to many people who go there is actually very sad, for them and us.

I mean Lee Anderson is actually working class, it's just he's from the working class where his dad was a scab miner.

It's just so normal that someone can leave their job in Civil Service to run a pub in 1980's Northern Ireland and then immediately resume your career in civil service and nobody will ask any questions about it.

Also, lol this just gives Johnson the ammo to say his getting chased out of Downing Street was an establishment stitch up.

It's grimly fascinating to see whether and for how long Labour can keep their gaggle of corrupt, racist weirdos out of serious press scrutiny, because it's so obvious that once the Great Noticing starts, they'll disintegrate even faster than the Tories.

Having an MI6 asset in their party probably protects them for a bit.

I do enjoy all the "Our army is too small" chat because the big thing going unsaid is that one of the main contributing factors for this is that recruitment is massively down due to there being several wars that served absolutely zero purpose and saw millions die, and even people who hosed everything up at school want no part in that.

And also it underlines that the point of the army isn't defense but its to make sure that we're always handing money over to arms manufacturers.

I cannot tell if this is parody or not. It seems not but I can't believe this is an actual opinion anyone would be stupid enough to vocalise the thought that Anne Frank was bad.

I believe the point the poster was trying to make was that Legality does not equal morality. It's just in doing so he's now arguing that we should all do evil things regardless of legality.

Nah read it again - Corbyn is saying the Tories are willing to break the law (bad) in order to do their policy (bad), this carcinogen is saying that Anne Frank broke the law in order to try and survive.

Therefore because one instance where violating the law was good, by the transient property all violations of the law is good. Except when Tony Blair violated the law, which was bad.

Perhaps they're saying that the Iraq war was good and we should lie to get into more wars. Even if it is directly responsible for the massive flood of refugees from the Middle East now.

Just insult them like they're idiots and move on. They want the argument because in their mind they've already won, because not even Adolf Hitler coming back from the grave to endorse the Conservative party will make them move from their preprogramed views that they've had since Private school. They know they're lying, they don't care, and they think it's justified because they're on the Inside pissing out.

Treat them like slime. Make fun of them. Give them no respect. Show them that their pathetic talking points mean nothing to you and go off on them like you're Stone Cold talking to Vince McMahon.

Fiona Bruce going "Ah he only battered her once and left her in the hospital, it was a once off" is especially egregious because it wasn't a one off, according to multiple sources including Boris Johnson's biographer quoting Boris Johnson's mother he assaulted her numerous times, landing her in the hospital once.
