General UK politics VIII - The Last Tory

[Norman Alexander]

Well, she was a Tory. The party of pulling the ladder up after them, taking an axe to the ladder, putting the bits in a big pile and burning them, defunding ladder manufacturers then claiming they've never heard of ladders, what the hell is a ladder anyway?

Then pretending she was an eccentric old white Peer.

Gammons seem to think the King can just make a proclamation and Parliament will be dissolved.

Last time a king tried thst it didn't end well for him

Reform by-election candidate calls for ‘young girls’ to be given ‘biological reality’ check

Matt Goodwin argued ‘young girls’ should be explained ‘the biological reality’ that ‘many women in Britain are having children much too late in life’

I'm not a big fan of Chuck³ or the institution that he currently embodies, but having heard him witter on about the various bees that have loitered in his bonnet over the decades I very much doubt that he would, in their fantasy scenario, make many proclamations that they would like.

Everyone has to use homeopathic medicine or have their heads chopped off!

This just in...

Homeopathy has better medical outcomes, than having your head chopped off.

Much of a muchness. Same result, just that the end-point for the former comes a bit later and more painfully than the latter.

Don't mind me, I was just having fun imagining Chucky3, dressed as the Queen of Hearts, running around saying: "Orf with their heads!"

(i.e. the evil doll guy.)

Yup, that was my image too.

You might not like the messenger, but there is nothing wrong with the message. The question is how you enable women to have children at an age when it is safe and possible.

That depends on whether the message is to plan to start your family when it's safer to do so or a dogwhistle to get to work having non-immigrant babies to avoid a Great Replacement.

Perhaps by denying them employment opportunities?

And certainly no need for them to go to university when they can be dropping sprogs.

We may have made some jokes above but you do have a point, but you know that isn't what is intended by those dog whistles. It is an issue society should be looking at.

Just spotted this in another thread...

Cont: Post in thread 'The thread for stupidity from GQP politicians who don't have their own thread Part II'

I've reviewed all four of the Gospels, and of the two that actually describe Jesus' birth (Matthew and Luke), neither of them mention Mary's age.

It's based off the language used to describe her in the annunciation and jewish marriage custom of the time. Mary was betrothed to Joseph meaning that she had recently started menstruating, ie she was a young teenager. Jewish custom was that a coiple were betrothed after the bride's first menstruation and married about a year later.

It seems Reform in Durham have lost another councillor: Councillor Nick Brown has resigned.

His resignation letter is especially damning of Reform Durham and Darren Grimes

“It is clear that certain members of the Reform leadership including yourself but principally your deputy, Cllr Grimes, hold members of their own administration in very serious disdain and consequently refuse to engage in any meaningful dialogue.”

Who could have possibly predicted that a council led by Darren Grimes would be a massive failure??

You don't want homeopathic medicine after having your head chopped off, you want ointment!

The Prime Minister does not serve a corporate brand 'UK' - he serves at His Majesty's pleasure. Whether it's the judiciary, the armed forces, parliamentarians, or members of His Majesty's Government, we serve the nation, embodied by the Crown. What Labour are doing is nothing less than republicanism by stealth

And the problem with being a republic is exactly what?

They need to make up their minds whether they loyally bend the knee to his God-appointed majesty the king, gawd bless 'im, or if they hate the woke traitor's guts for all his woke inclusive blah blah. Like Sauron's eye, the searchlight of hate swivels and scorches everything under its gaze, before flicking on to the next target and the next.

They don't want to run the country. All they crave is the power to destroy.
