All politicians are corrupt, but some are more corrupt than others!
I kind of wish people would stop going on about this stuff. It’s just a distraction from how damaging the policies are.
We know their policies are damaging but we will wait a long time until they can be chucked out on that basis- and by that time it will be too late.
The more it can be demonstrated how much sleaze is going on (especially Rayner’s dirty weekend away courtesy of wealthy backers) the shakier their foundations become.
I have to disagree. I want people to reject the woke socialism of the Uniparty (all of them except Reform), not carry on as part of the Punch and Judy show that politics has become. My aspirations for a future government are for it to do less of almost everything and do the bare essentials with more vigour. I’m afraid a lot of people just want the government/state to make everything wonderful.
Presumably bribery and corruptions laws don’t apply to politicians? LoL
KJ Keen ( Posie Parker ) speaking about her latest ‘Attack of the Killer Tomato ( Soup )’ by an unhinged woman-hating bloke. I am of the opinion that a large number of incels have rebranded themselves as trans activists. Misogyny comes in various forms. Where’s Yvette Cooper and her ”extreme misogyny = terrorism” when you need her? Amazing how many men are triggered by women exercising their right to free speech, isn’t it? Look no further than the recent example of Hatun Tash at Speaker’s Corner I shared. There’s never Muslim women there, jeering and intimidating Christians and Jews who are speaking, only ever men. So there’s your two ”harmful ideologies” demonstrating ”extreme misogyny” on the regular, Mrs Cooper. What you going to do about it, other than employ two-tier policing/justice?
”She said: ‘It just feels from an operational level that our safety is not taken very seriously. The threat of the trans activists is not taken very seriously.’
Ms Keen believes the trans activism is ‘rife in the universities’, adding: ‘I think it’s very frightening how much power this cult seems to yield.’
She welcomed police quickly charging Lindsay but fears that he may be given a light sentencing – as she hit out at the heavy jail terms handed out to rioters who made despicable comments online.
Ms Keen continued: ‘I’m just very aware, over the last few months in this country people have been whipped into court, probably been given terrible legal advice and they’ve been told that if they plead guilty everything’s going to be fine and dandy, and then they’re going to prison for 15 months for a Facebook post that might be a shameful, despicable thing to say.
‘But I’m thinking… if he gets less than 15 months inside for what I consider an act of terrorism, which under the stipulation of what terrorism is, which is an act with a political aim, and the aim here is to stop women speaking, I would really hope that he gets longer inside than a pensioner saying something off colour online, or even vile, online.
A spokesman for South Yorkshire Police said: ‘A 34-year-old man has been charged with two counts of assault by beating following an incident in Sheffield city centre earlier today (21 September).”

And it’s going to get even better for them.
What most people don’t realise is that anyone of school age today is going to be spoilt for choice when it comes to finding jobs.
As the population ages, the workforce is going to shrink and there aren’t going to be enough people to fill the necessary jobs. The few people who are left of working age will be able to command big wages as employers fight over them.
“As the population ages, the workforce is going to shrink and there aren’t going to be enough (properly trained) people to fill the necessary jobs”
Setting your own questions in exams and passing them on lower grades will eventually show them up in the coming years, an easy pass in life = quality in the work force will plummet!
That’s if you think school exams prepare you well for adult work.
That’s also if you think that it’s the current generation of kids who are the ones proposing setting their own exams. But the last time I checked, it was not the idea of children, but of (some of) the people in charge of the education system. i.e. current grown ups who presumably at some point did quite well in school exams and went through the education system some 20 or 30 years ago.
In my experience people rise to the challenges they face when they are presented with them. Those who want to learn to do a job will, despite their prior education (or miseducation).
Labour’s freebies are neither shameless or stupid.
They are the deliberate actions of militant communists who have seized power with a massive Parliamentary majority for the next 5 years.
If you’ve followed the Obama/Biden/Harris playbook since 2020, as they are, you can see what’s coming next.
Time to stop bleating, start mobilising against them.
There are more of us than them.

Have a read of this article and conclude that our elections are 100% fair and free from manipulation.
As someone who has been involved in every election since 2019 I am confident in asserting that they are not. Elections are rigged although perhaps not as blatantly as the case for poor Andrew Bridgen.
