OT: How to recognise a Nasty Party leadership hustings.

[R Souls]

Here are a few telltale signs.

1. On the stage you'll see a pair of inept and untrustworthy candidates: a vile, uncaring harridan and a super rich posh boy utterly out of touch with anyone outside his social circles.

1. An aged audience comprising fawning blue-rince boilers and ghastly gammons.

2. A notable absence of black faces in the audience.

1. A bloke running around with a mop clearing up the leaked piss.

To think people like this will choose the next PM is a truly bleak and depressing prospect.

But what choice do they have? It's akin to asking someone "What would you like for breakfast, dogshit or pigshit?"

[Jim GM4DHJ ...]

pig shit please

[garbage snipped]

At least they're not socialist scumbags.

[R Souls]

You don't need to be. Even thicko gammons like you must realise how bad things have become under Nasty rule. .

[R Souls]

Inflation? Strikes? Cost of living? Energy prices? You're happy with all that and don't think it has anything to do with 12 years of Nasty government?

If so you're a deluded imbecile.

[Jeff Gaines]

All these ills are cause by socialism, are you too deluded to understand that?

[Tim Streater]

I agree that that nice Mr Putin didn't want to invade Ukraine and push up energy prices. I understand fully that he was bullied into it by Boris.

Strikes, BTW, are called by unions. I saw a bit of the Mail Union boss on telly last night, spouting the usual bollocks about how "his" members had made lots of efficiency savings. This was the old Jimmy Knapp line too. Truth is, of course, that the efficiency savings were made by RM managers doing their job, which is, errm, managing. Just like the British Leyland managers weren't able to do and the rail unions don't want the train companies to do either.

So R Souls to you, sunshine.

[R Souls]

Who has been in power for the last 12 years? Socialists?

[R Souls]

You clearly watch too much on Gammon Bastards News.

[R Souls]

Not helped either by Thick Lizzie's closure of North Sea gas storage in 2017.

[Brian Gaff]

Have you only just realised what goes on at party gatherings? Where have you been. It seems to me that younger people are now so disillusioned that they seldom engage with any party. This goes for anyone who looks different, has any strong views that leaders should be above reproach and honest in the extreme, or folk with no money. Brian

[SteveW]

All of those driven by external forces, outside the control of the UK government.

[R Souls]

So austerity had nothing to do with running down the NHS, the police, social care and numerous other sectors? Brexit had no effect on staff shortages everywhere?

You can't deny it's a complete mess.

[R Souls]

A classic gammon respone of "Fuck you Jack, I'm all right."

[John Rumm]

Well since the same is true in all other european countries, perhaps they all have nasty parties...?

Or perhaps they have just endured a pandemic followed by a psychopath starting world war III. Forcing wartime levels of spending, restricting labour supplies, disrupting supply chains, and driving up energy and food prices.

[R Souls]

Typical uniion bashing from ToryBoy Tim.

If you're old enough cast your mind back to the disgusting spectacle of the Battle of Orgreave, where rozzers bussed in from down South were paid an absolute fortune to knock seven shades of shit out of striking miners whilst taunting them by waving their payslips at them.

The Nasty government scuppered the inquiry into the actions of the South Yorkshire Police.

[R Souls]

Here's a useful comparison of how european countries are helping.

[Rod Speed]

Beats the way Labour does theirs.

[Rod Speed]

It would have been even worse with that fool Starmer who hasn't proposed doing anything different at all apart from nationalising shit that shouldnt be nationalised like the railways.

[Kron]

Bullshit with gas prices alone.
