Interesting narrative forming from Boris supporting MPs 10:12 - Oct 21 with 4112 viewsStokieBlue

It seems that the narrative today from Boris backing MPs is that if the party elects anyone other than Boris then there needs to be a GE as they have no mandate.

This is clearly bullying and scare tactics to try and force MPs who fear for their seat in a GE to back Boris.

Why weren't they saying the same when Truss was elected leader?

It's clear hypocrisy and surely transparent to the electorate in general.

I personally think people should be jailed if contracts have been awarded to mate's and relatives of Tory MPs

Of course, that won't happen but it would make some of these shysters think twice about profiteering from a National crisis and a pandemic scenario

Partygate in itself was staggering, the people who don't see a problem with it, really need to have a look at themselves

I think jailing and a highish 'percentage of personal assets' type fine for corruption in public office too. Little fines and / or suspensions just makes them laugh while they wait for their next brown envelope.

Undermining democracy with corruption in public office will ultimately result in the breakdown of law and order and decent society, so is a massively serious offence in my eyes.

Why should I not steal if they do?

I honestly think if he comes back his approval ratings will be at least 10% higher than before he left office.

I think most people just zone out and think he's good for for bantz and better than Truss so they won't really care.

Me neither, but if you think of this site how many actually bother with politics threads? It's the same small percentage of the site on each one. The majority don't bother commenting and some have said they have no interest. I think it's the same with the public with the large majority in the middle who think nothing will change anyway and they don't really care.

This is exactly why the Tories can ultimately ram through whatever whey want, regenerate and quite feasibly win an election in two years. It's great seeing anger on Twitter and expressed in some polls but on the whole people in this country are fairly apathetic, awfully politically educated and used to subjugation to the machinations of their supposed betters. There seems little appetite to manifest any frustration in a visible, active, useful way. So the show rolls on and the masses learn to treat it as soap opera material rather than stuff that actually causes the problems they're facing. It's happening right in front of us, it's hard to deny.

If you look at the samples of the people approached in the street; TV news and the like, you have to question the sanity of some of our co-patriots cos those are exactly the type of comments some of them make.

I appreciate those could be heavily edited in order to strike fear of course.

But nonetheless, as you say, a tonne of people won't even remember what the fuss was about.

The economic sh!t train is coming at us fast whoever's in the driver's cab.

Even the "non-political" will apportion blame when their lives are badly impacted - they don't care when it's "someone else" experiencing the pain.

The 'non-political' will want to blame someone but will they vote?
If they do vote, they'll vote which ever way the right-wing media tell them to.
Their woes won't be the fault of the Tories, it never is, it's the immigrants, Europe, Labour when they were last in power etc etc etc

The most ridiculous thing is there is a good chance he could be suspended as an MP by the privilege committee for lying to the house.

Shouldn't he also be having the whip removed for failing to vote in the vote that brought Truss down (ironically shouldn't she too)? How is nothing being made of him going on holiday during sitting parliament? Would any of us be paid for taking a holiday above and beyond those within our allowance?

They can do untold damage and then win a war in the Falklands and win an election ... or give a tax cut to the lowest paid just before the election and win it ... or simply say "watch out for Labour they will REALLY ruin the country and then you will suffer - our attempts are nothing compared to what they will do.

It really is depressing. Hopefully the electorate won't simply forget.

People have been all of those things but above all, perhaps, they've been subconsciously bought off by decades of cheap credit, endlessly and unnecessarily upgraded and hideously damaging technology, cheap consumer tat from expanding far eastern factory-slave countries, the housing bubble(s), TV and Internet sh!te.

Now that a lot of those things aren't going to be available, or at least available cheaply, a large chunk of the previously soporific populace are going to wake up and shout "WHERE'S MY NEXT FKN PAIR OF TRAINERS AND iPHONE COMING FROM, THEN!?"

My hope is that a significant chunk of them will get engaged enough and en masse to start making a political, and more importantly, environmental difference.

They are completely deluded and living in a bubble. They’ve bankrupted the country now and for a generation. Their beloved policy of cut and destroy has done just that so I suppose they will be happy.

I would not be surprised to see Johnson back in. If tory MPs were told that publicly doing tricks with consenting Christmas Turkeys would save their personal skins, they’d be shouting in unison ‘gobble gobble’ as they headed to the farm.

Utterly clueless. Their currency is self interest, lies and sheer incompetence. Thinking about it, it doesn’t matter who they wheel in. The misery will continue until they’re gone and long after. In Tudor times and beyond this lot would be facing the block on Tower Hill or Tyburn for treason. They’d deserve it too.

They disgust me.
