General UK politics VIII - The Last Tory

They'd have been a lot better off if they had scarpered off to the sun before voting for Brexit and losing the right to do it.

Spain dodged a large number of bullets there.

I see that Islamo-Communism is the new Judeo-Bolshevism.

Or even commie-nazism.

Have all the bot accounts forgotten that the UK is no longer in the EU?

PS all the non-EU locations are ridiculous ones that nobody from the UK would move to. Patagonia for example is the arse end of South America and completely undeveloped. It has a very small population and almost no industry or other avenues for job opportunities. Plus both Chile and Argentina are run by far right presidents who are running their countries into the ground economically.

They resented spending their tax dollars on Brussels.

One says he's gone to the Philippines.
He's not interested he just finds them confusing.

Under Labour, HMRC will reach into your bank account and seize your money.

Under Reform, you’ll get a £30 rebate if HMRC leave you stuck on the phone for 30 mins.

NEW: The Tories say Labour's plan to let HMRC take unpaid tax directly from bank accounts is "outrageous"

"Labour want the taxman to be able to empty your bank account over a few hundred pounds and leave you with nothing to pay the rent. It is absurd that Labour are handing the taxman powers like these. Scrapping these safeguards and collaborating with credit agencies so they can decide which accounts to raid is outrageous... they are once again approaching the Budget looking for yet more ways to squeeze the public so they can bankroll more benefits handouts"

I have more than a sneaky feeling many of these comments are piss-takes aimed at the patriots themselves.

 

[P.J. Denyer]

Could claim it was a Citizen's Arrest?

Unless there were extremely unusual circumstances handcuffing someone would still not be legal, you're right to physically restrain someone are very limited. Private security guards shouldn't even be carrying cuffs. I'm sure @Nessie could expand with more, and more accurate, detail.

Reform UK
@reformparty_uk

Once again, this government proves that it just doesn’t get it. A four-day working week for teachers is ridiculous.

Under Reform UK, teachers and all public servants will be expected to work just as much as the rest of us.

If by 'the rest of us' they mean Nige, there ain't gonna be a lot of work done! Has he even attended Parliament 4 days since he was re-elected?

Convicted criminal doesn't like the police. Shocker...

 

[P.J. Denyer]

How about telling the likes of Russell Brand and Stevie babes to stop doing things which can lead to criminal investigation, charges and trials?

Especially as Stevie already has relevant criminal convictions...

And any evidence that Connolly was intimidated? Rather than she knew she was guilty, was advised to plead guilty in order to get a reduced sentence, rather than running the risk of a longer sentence after a full trial? Anything? Anything at all? Or are you just blethering?

How dare you suggest that she was guilty of writing the things that she was proven to have written, were seen by thousands of people and she subsequently admitted having written. Haven't you heard of innocent until found.. Oh, wait..

 

[P.J. Denyer]

Islamification update...

I can report that both St John's and St Columba's cathedrals in Oban have not been turned into mosques and nor have they been burned down.

I have also observed a number of other intact churches around Argyll and that Castle Stalker has not been turned into a minaret for a muezzin to chant the Adhan.

Are you sure? Maybe they were just a little burned down and you missed it?

"Essex Police said two offences of assault without injury were recorded and "learning requirements" had been "passed to the security staff employers".

It is a grey area of the law, how much force private security hired for a job can do. Detaining people suspected of a crime, or removing someone from a premises are fine, so long as reasonable force is used. I suspect from the quote Essex Police told them to stop using the cuffs.

And Brits aren't the most popular nationality in Argentina..

And in Ireland, which very closely follows UK law, a citizens arrest can only be effected to stop a crime in progress.
