The question we need to ask is why are two different parties expected to be held to different levels of accountability? Surely it should be the same for all but the bar for Labour seems to be a lot higher than that for the Tories in recent years. Integrity went out of the window when Johnson got rid of any hint of propriety from his party. Remember the “form a square around the Pritster” comment? There are still people in opposition who have gotten away with worse, many know having been elevated to the Lords, but guilty of deliberately not paying the proper amount or not, as housing minister her position is now untenable. If she does resign it will not change anything though. Labour will still be expected to be held to a higher level of behaviour and accountability than the Tories (or Reform).

Did the same people who are calling for her resignation make the same amount of noise during the years of Tory corruption, especially during the PPE free for all? I suspect not. If the investigation concludes that it was a genuine mistake then I don’t see why she would have to resign. Nevertheless, honourable people who have gone through a similar process have resigned even though they were innocent. I wouldn’t be surprised if she did go before the conclusion of the investigation as the media will whip up a storm whilst it is going on. It’s a shame, she has the Tories for breakfast and would be handy against Farage as the next election approaches. Zahawi’s situation was different. https://taxpolicy.org.uk/2023/01/19/zahawi_story/

And you are supposed to have a massive intellect? The government have a legal requirement to accommodate asylum seekers. The previous government put more and more of them into places that used to be hotels. This government had already said that it plans to move asylum seekers out of these buildings by the end of this term (within the next 4 years). It clearly cannot move out everybody until firm plans are in place as to what to do with them. That will take time. The appeal judge clearly took this into account when making his judgement. It was the local council, who used money that could have been spent on fixing potholes and other very essential local services, who started these legal proceedings leaving the government with no choice. You don’t like asylum seekers so you have chosen to attack the government for spending money on legal action when it was initiated by the very people who have more of a problem with asylum seekers than they do with people who think that it is perfectly ok to intimidate in large crowds. I don’t suppose that you bothered to listen to the people who live locally and said that there wasn’t a problem with the inhabitants of the building. They were more concerned with the number of outsiders turning up outside the building. We have a system in this country whereby anyone suspected of breaking the law is dealt with by the police within the Criminal Justice System. A baying mob is not a part of that system. They clearly have your sympathies but without them, the money spent on legalities could be better spent elsewhere, could it not? Go on, have a chuckle.

But it wouldn’t be a proper transfer window without hypochondriac whinging about our lack of signing a striker every other post and breaking out the antidepressants!

It’s not just Farage. Tice, 30p Lee, previously Lowe…the party attracts plenty of deeply unpleasant and untrustworthy people. You just have to look at what is happening in the US to see what would happen here if Reform win the next election. Hopefully the mess they are currently making of running many local councils will put off protest voters. You would like to think that those who have had enough of the two main parties would give their vote to the LibDems rather than Farage, yet despite already making a mess of this country by championing Brexit, some people still think he worthy of trusting with their vote. Didn’t he say that he would leave the country if Brexit wasn’t a success? Why is he still here? He has a proven track record as a disrupter and destroyer but a zero past reputation as someone who can fix things. His plan to deport all those arriving on dinghies is a case in point. Where to Nigel? The plan was picked apart in minutes as being unworkable and he had to backtrack on women and children immediately. Any idiot can spout populist nonsense and get the hard of thinking to support them (you only have to read some of these posts). Fixing a broken country takes time, money and unpopular decisions. We all want better services and a better infrastructure but no one wants to pay for it. Taxes will have to rise. The idea that things will improve without tax rises is a nonsense. Starmer would do well to stop worrying about Badenoch and Farage with a u turn on tax increases and start preparing us for them now. Bring in fair and proportionate tax rises across the board. Spell out exactly where the money is going, hit your targets over the next 4 years and win over the trust of the floating voters. If Farage wins power outright or forms a coalition with Badenoch, God help us all. If you think we are currently a divided nation, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Laughing emojis, people shinning up lamp posts with flags and spotty kids running local councils will be the least of our worries.

If Archer had scored that at the other end, a fine angled drive that went in just inside the far post, we would be talking about the quality of the finish, not a goalkeeping error.

So the self proclaimed champions of free speech don’t actually practice free speech. https://news.sky.com/story/richard-tice-defends-reform-ban-on-local-newspaper-in-free-speech-row-13420826

Which is exactly his point. There are new people involved so why just assume that it is going to be a let down again? The window closes in a few days time. If it is a disaster by then, by all means have a whinge. Frankly I would be very surprised if this window turns out to be a disappointment.

My quote was also from ChatGPT and I asked it the same question. As for people being “obsessed” by him, it seems that many of them will be in London in a couple of weeks. https://socialistworker.co.uk/anti-racism/join-demo-on-13-sept-to-oppose-tommy-robinson/

I know. He said 20 were killed.

Yet another charmless and ignorant post from a poster whose opinions started “woke” in the UK. Given that you still get nocturnal emissions dreaming about Margaret “Hatchet Face” Thatcher, perhaps best stop referring to women (that wouldn’t touch you with a barge pole) as “9 Pinters.” Anyway, what are you doing here? Should you be out hanging St.George’s flags from lamp posts with your buddies?

My confusion has arisen by your claim that 20 kids were killed. Your grasp of facts seems as tenuous as Donald Trump’s.

You really haven’t got the hang of this have you? You are supposed to slag him off even though you have never seen him play and have only just heard of him.

Not sure about that. He also missed a header close in earlier on. His timing looks a bit off to me. Probably a bit rusty but I did expect both chances to end up in the back of the net. They were both chances that instinctive scorers snap up.

No doubt Netanyahu and his supporters would call this man an antisemite. https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/-bloodshed-after-bloodshed-israel-fails-to-bring-safety-to-jewish-people-says-rabbi/3094674

Even though he told us that he had some jobs lined up in football after he left us, did he actually get any of them? Maybe there is a reason for that? Surely, if he was such a hot shot, clubs would have been queuing up for his services?

According to AI… “Sadoldgit does mention Tommy Robinson across multiple threads and dates. However the tone is critical, satirical or dismissive rather than celebratory or supportive. The posts often appear reactive, often in response to others invoking Robinson, rather than proactive defenses or promotion. Conclusion: while it is fair to say that sadoldgit often references Robinson, especially when others bring him up, the content suggests a critical engagement, not an obsession. The posts demonstrate an ongoing critique rather than admiration or fixation.”

That looks to be the case. Despite the fact that I spend much more time posting about the likes of Trump, Farage and Netanyahu, apparently I am “obsessed” with one particular person. You can guarantee that if I mention his name the usual suspects will appear (like Beetlejuice) and get themselves into a right old lather. Perhaps they should ask themselves why that is? The bloke is a scumbag of the highest order. Why on earth would you get yourself so worked up if someone has a pop at him? Back in the news recently for allegedly decking someone at St Pancras Stn and no doubt will be behind the demonstrations outside hotels containing asylum seekers today. Still, the usual suspects get themselves more upset by a silly attempt to take the piss out of him rather than his actions. Rock on Tommy, eh lads? Who is the freak Turkish? Not the far right agitator?

You hardly have to be Nostradamus to figure out at the club would be ramping up its transfer activity towards the end of the transfer window do you? Mystic Meg strikes again!

Triggered? As for being obsessed, these are the number of posts made by other posters on this thread which would appear to show that others are more obsessed than I am. Hypocondriac = 17 posts Turkish = 12 posts Weston Super Saint = 11 posts East-stand-nic = 8 posts Sadoldgit = 4 posts

Getting bored with the Armenian soap opera so time for some fun. If our Tommy was a footballer and we were talking about signing him there would be some song suggestions. This would be mine (with apologies to Paul Simon). And here’s to you, Tommy Robinson Racists love you more than you will know. Whoa, whoa, whoa. God bless you please, Tommy Robinson Prison holds a place for those who fray Hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey. We’d like to know a little bit about you for our files. We’d like to help you learn to go f**k yourself. Look around you, all you see are evil Islamic spies. Stroll around the prison grounds until you feel at home. And here’s to you, Tommy Robinson etc etc.

Odd that you should now be putting so much store by the FT when you dismissed an article I quoted from them that rubbished your erroneous claim that the rich were fleeing the UK in droves. Perhaps give this some thought, although, again, it flies in the face of what you would have us believe. https://www.economicsobservatory.com/why-are-food-prices-rising-in-the-uk

I’m not normally a fan of LBC’s Iain Dale but he has gone up in my estimation. After a particularly unpleasant interview with the odious Reform councillor, Jaymey McIver, about asylum seekers, Dale referred to him as a “scrote.”

There is another picture of Butler standing directly behind Jenrick with Butler stating that he was “riding shotgun” for Jenrick. Jenrick is clearly cozying up to extreme Reform sympathisers in the hope of getting their support. He certainly has the support of Butler.

The headline was misleading, but did you read the article? As for putting asylum seekers up in hotels, I wonder which party who were in power for 14 years has anything to do with that?
