Tory bastards

[IdleRich]

That's basically the tory party position... and although a load of people are fucking spitting tacks they are probably not wrong on the whole.

spitting tacks

never heard this expression, have a vague idea what it means but can you explain?

 

[IdleRich]

I don't know the origin. Its tacks like pins which I thought maybe is American... means fucking angry like "boils my piss" or "grinds my gears" etc

 

[Leo]

yeah, we have tacks, but not the notion of putting them in your mouth and spitting them out.

then again, I also don't know anyone who pees in a pot, puts it on the stove and boils it.

The bi-annual tory implosion gathers apace


Is Boris rattling Dorries?

 

[wild greens]

Spitting tacks is to do with carpet fitting I think

 

[Mr. Tea]

All these inter-Tory feuds and machinations make me think of the strapline for Alien vs Predator.

 

[Leo]

if there's anything more fun than inter-party fighting, it's intra-party backstabbing.

 

[Mr. Tea]

if there's anything more fun than inter-party fighting, it's intra-party backstabbing.

But you see what I mean though, right? If Sunak gets completely rekt as a result of all this, then I'd be pleased about that in itself, but it'll likely also strengthen Johnson, so there's not really that much to get excited over.

 

[Leo]

reading comments in that tweet wild greens posted, sunak should have done a very public resignation for the party fines, which would have put pressure on Boris to do the same. he wouldn't, of course, but it would shine a spotlight on yet another stain on his reputation. and sunak is most likely going to be out sooner or later anyway, so might as well have gone out in a positive light by taking responsibility for his actions. but maybe he's not a very savvy politician.

 

[wild greens]

I think their idea is that there is no point in resigning because you can just ignore the issue for a month and it goes away, plus historically Labour are so incompetent that it doesn't matter anyway, they won't capitalise on it.

Only time will tell on the latter point but this current shower of shit have certainly gotten away with a lot of things that would take lesser "politicians" down.

I think because its not sexual then it helps a lot as well. It's the kinky bastards who have died on their sword historically in this country, the standard fiscal corruption less so

 

[Leo]

but the difference is the swords out for sunak seem to be coming from his own party, not labor.

 

[wild greens]

I would think Sunak's open marketeering and attempts to create an image for himself meant he was done anyway.

I.e. The furlough scheme literature was on his own marketing design, not the tories, he went into business for himself on the partygate picture (the angle of the back garden photo meant it was taken from his offices in No 11), he refused to back Boris

Open propaganda isnt the tory way, you do it behind closed doors and stab people in the back instead.

What i mean by the Labour statement is that the Tories will go for eachother all the time but the machine rolls on.

[Mr. Tea]

HOW WILL HE EVER RECOVER?!?

2 cunts canvassing y’day knocked on the door, big mistake, not to get all Citizen Smith. Nottingham East was C Leslie’s prior to Brexit apocalypse. The last week has also been every man’s worst anatomical nightmare, think it caught up, so both barrels deployed

Door knocks, open it to see 2 fat white pasty looking cunts beaming, “hello sir, we’re from the local conservative party, just door hopping, wondered if we could ask a few questions“

”Fuck off you pair of insipid cunts. Go on, do one, rapid. You’re trespassing”

- “We’ll phone the police!”

”Phone them. Have you met our dogs yet?”

- ”Phoning now!”

”Nice sandals, cunt”

So you stand there as they back out looking a bit unnerved but nowhere near unnerved enough imho. And then the scrotum pain returned

my mum used to pretend she was busy when the jehova's witnesses came to the door, so i'd unwittingly answer it and have to talk to them

 

[shakahislop]

its been ages since i had a job that involved going from door to door. i remember that people's houses used to smell different from one another even just standing at the front door

I've been told that if you want to get rid of Jehova's Witnesses the best thing is to tell them that you used to be a JW yourself, apparently they are strictly forbidden from talking to former members and they will make their excuses and leave with alacrity.
