General UK Politics VI It's A (Honey) Trap!

[Garrison]

It's also been pointed out that if Sunak really were so keen to get the bill through he could have pushed to complete the back and forth with the Lords before they went on their three week break.

It seems crazy now and something that would only happen in a corrupt state under a despotic dictator. However there are lots of things I have seen recently like the attempt to sideline the judiciary, the clamp down on protests, restrictions making it harder to vote etc that makes me think that fixing elections 'for the good of the country' is not as far fetched as it once seemed.

Well they are very busy at the moment, trying to prosecute someone from holding a sign about a fundamental right: https://www.theguardian.com/environ...mate-activist-trudi-warner-sign-jurors-rights

Rishi says "no foreign court will stop us getting flights off"

When did the UK Supreme Court become a foreign court?

Perhaps he's got another Green Card.

That's coming after the "Rishi Sunak is Six Foot Three Bill (2024)" receives Royal Assent .

Carrot Flower Queen would like that, as by extension it would mean she is over 6 ft, which is something she's long wanted to be (in real life she had to make do with a 6ft 3 husband).

I'm still scratching my head as to how informing a jury of their actual legal rights can be considered to trying to influence them. By that sort of metric, shirley providing a jury with yer acksherall evidence is trying to influence them?

I am not a lawyer, nor have I ever played one on TV.

Disappointed the enemies of the state refused to bang her up after that disgracefully behaviour. Still if things go out way we can have her on a plane to Rwanda first thing in the morning.

Clarkson's Farm is about to air for a third series. The trailer features a meeting between Sunak and Kaleb Cooper, Clarkson's farm hand/manager. Please find and watch it.

"So what car do you drive?"

"Matchbox"

 

[P.J. Denyer]

What does someone spending all their time working with pigs and cows have to say to Clarkson's farm hand?

"Do you work in business?"

 

[Gulliver Foyle]

Quite frankly I don't see the need for flights.

If the UK parliament can rule that Rwanda is safe why can't they rule that the flights have been happening for several years and that the small boats have all stopped crossing the channel?

How many lights do you see, Winston?

she's the new Home Secretary? I mean that's all we've managed to fly out to Rwanda.

Give it six months and we'll see the "Deportation to Rwanda is an Effective Deterrent Bill 2024".

Or the "We Held An Election And We Won Act 2024"

Or the "We Held An Election And We Won Act 2024"

How about the "We Haven't Completely ****** The Country Over The Last Decade And A Half Bill (2024)" including the "We're Not Thieving Bastards Only Interested In Lining Our Own Pockets" amendment (Sunak) and a childish drawing of Liz Truss rendered in half eaten crayon (Gullis)? The "Stop Sniggling At Me, You're Not My Mates Anymore Bill (Andersen Anderson) may be attached.

Who is the minister for nonsense these days?

 

[Andy_Ross]

It seems Rishi has decided to govern by holding a press briefing every day to promise things that will happen after Keir Starmer beats him in a General Election.

It's known as collective responsibility:

 

[Gulliver Foyle]

The Grauniad are reporting that Ofcom are allowing Fromage to keep his GBeebies show during the election, despite being the real leader of UKIP/Reform and a probable candidate.

Has to be said that Ofcom are not fit for purpose, given they've lost all sense of impartiality.

None of the watchdogs are fit for purpose*. The Tory plan is to deregulate, promising oversight, but then to declaw, defund, and stuff the watchdogs with cronies.

Make that at least 3 of us, as both CFQ and I would agree.
