Britain - The Official Thread

I bet Carrie Johnson would agree.

I bet Carrie Johnson would agree.

I never knew this, but she was one of the women attacked by John Worboys...

 

[MatskiMonk]

I'm so glad for our political elite ruling class.

Spoiler: Swear word in Tweet.

Spoiler: But otherwise, it's just major cringe.

The trainee bar staff down Spoonies are better at exercising their authority.

Results from the second ballot in the Conservative leadership race:

Rishi Sunak - 101 (+13)
Penny Mordaunt - 83 (+16)
Liz Truss - 64 (+14)
Kemi Badenoch - 49 (+9)
Tom Tugendhat - 32 (-5)
Suella Braverman - 27 (-5)
____
Out after Round 2
Suella Braverman

Out after Round 1
Nadhim Zahawi
Jeremy Hunt

I expect Tom Tugendhat will drop out... Badenoch has no chance either.

Good to see Liz Truss floundering... she would be an absolutely horrific PM.

 

[PeterJB]

So Sunak gains 13, Mordaunt gains 16, Truss gains 14, Badenoch gains 9, and Tugenhat loses 5.

 

[Touring Mars]

Quote from The Guardian just now:

It doesn’t sound as if Tom Tugendhat is dropping out. Spokesperson: “Tom is in it to win it."

He can't even muster 9% - or just 1 in every 11 votes - of MPs from his own party. How deluded are these people??

 

[Pupik]

Tom Tugendhat

This seems a slightly inept fellow in a children's story, who lives at the village's end, because keeps misplacing his magical headgear. And then the locals say: "Oh, Tom...not again!?!"

 

[Dotini]

Good to see Liz Truss floundering... she would be an absolutely horrific PM.

In time of war, maybe the horrific person is what's most needed.

 

[Famine]

How deluded are these people??

They're Conservative MPs.

They want to be responsible for the country during a post-Brexit, post-COVID, global supply chain shortage, global energy shortage, threat of nuclear war in Europe era.

Need I go on?

 

[HenrySwanson]

There seems to be one major policy issue all remaining contenders have declared a position on, and it's the same position for all. National insurance rise? Income tax cut? Northern Ireland protocol bill support? Take a guess....

 

[UKMikey]

 

[MatskiMonk]

In time of war, maybe the horrific person is what's most needed.

Or maybe not.

 

[Dotini]

Or maybe not.

Agreed. You are in an unenviable situation.

You may wish to consider which candidates are most closely tied to the US military and intelligence apparatus.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Agreed. You are in an unenviable situation.

You may wish to consider which candidates are most closely tied to the US military and intelligence apparatus.

By extension, the US military and intel apparatus are, to you, the horrific option?

I just wish the USAF was turning up to the airshow I booked tickets for.

 

[Dotini]

By extension, the US military and intel apparatus are, to you, the horrific option?

To clearly answer your question, I would say it would be wonderful to conquer and dismember Russia, distributing her vast resources to our friends and allies. I personally would like a ski chalet in the northern Urals.

And now that you are at war with Russia, who do you want to lead you? Attilla the Hun, or Friar Tuck?

 

[Liquid]

You may wish to consider which candidates are most closely tied to the US military and intelligence apparatus.

Sunak held a US green card during the 2010s which should have been withdrawn as a US green card holder is disqualified from running for political office in a foreign country. The fact that he held a green card at all was kept a secret.

So I'm pretty sure he has lots of friends in the West Atlantic.

[Touring Mars]

Lord Frost has called on Kemi Badenoch to remove herself from the leadership race in order to increase support for Truss.

Hilarious that someone called Truss needs additional support.... though, it's hardly surprising considering she is a total dolt:







And even at her own leadership promo yesterday:

 

[TheCracker]

I think she's purposefully emulating Boris levels of buffoonery to capture the hearts and votes of the hardcore Johnson cultists.

 

[HenrySwanson]

Well she has Nads and Rees Smog behind her so she's obviously a winner.

 

[UKMikey]

Hilarious that someone called Truss needs additional support....

Should she end up presiding over the breakup of the UK she might find herself caught in the jocks' trap.

 

[Dreadmed]

And now that you are at war with Russia

...gee, how on earth did that slip by all the national broadcasters, surely an official declaration of war with a major nation would be headline news internationally, nevermind on a national level... oh wait. We aren't.

 

[UKMikey]

...gee, how on earth did that slip by all the national broadcasters, surely an official declaration of war with a major nation would be headline news internationally, nevermind on a national level... oh wait. We aren't.

Not in the physical universe, at any rate.

NATO weapons and munitions are being used by your proxies and allies to reach targets deep into Russia. MI6 has been mentioned as operating on the ground in Ukraine. You've been formally warned (demarche) by Russia. Perhaps one more false step and London becomes a lake of radioactive glass, your nuclear reactors become flaming fountains of death. This may be your eve of destruction, 10 seconds before midnight.

Unfortunately Putin doesn't seem to understand what constitutes Russia and what is Not Russia.

The Консерватьив Партий is way too deep in Russian money to care about what ultimately happens.
