The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)

There. Resident WHO political commentators and gurus can knock yourselves out in here and conduct your endless bickering. All other threads will be locked.

Liz Truss (champion of free speech) has sent Starmer a cease and desist letter to stop saying she crashed the economy. It's ruining her reputation, apparently. The lack of self awareness in this woman is staggering. Maybe she should contact her local MP for help.

Mr anon.

You seem to be suffering from TDS, why not wait til he's actually in office and then judge him. Looking for reasons to slate him two weeks before he starts work is a bit silly.

[Cabbige Savage]

what do the Trump supporters that state how he's a peace advocate, no wars in his term etc think about him saying he doesn't rule out using force to take Panama Canal and Greenland?

oh no he declared war on Panama and Greenland.
When did the wars start?

where did I say war had started

so no war?

[Mr Anon]

Saying he doesn't rule out using force and actually using force are two entirely different things.
Think you may need a bigger stick to CLUMP him with.
 

Not sure what the benefit is in pissing off your best allies, only really benefits Putin. funny that

His supporters won't care too much about that.

It's the things like paying $4 for a loaf of bread that concerns them the most.

Bit of an uncomfortable read in parts, infuriating in others.

[Cabbige Savage]

So is evry 1 far right now?

[Massive Attack]

Have listened to a lot of programmes on the radio, and with some of those in both the police and social services, who tried to raise the issues and get something done about it were silenced and in some cases forced to leave their jobs. So the ones who did actually try to prevent it all happening further, in quite a few cases got in trouble, damaged their careers, or lost their jobs completely. What a beyond sad state of affairs, particularly given the crimes involved.

Noticeable also how on all of the BBC radio programmes about this, the presenters keep trotting out the “people seem to have forgotten about the victims”, “it’s become political”, “agenda driven”, blah, blah, blah.

I’d suggest that people have NOT “forgotten about the victims” at all and very much the opposite. The ‘people’ for the large part know that for a victim of any crime, 

They're just gaslighting cunts trying to spin a load of old deflecting bollocks. We see through it though..   

The cheek of the tossers to say we should focus on the victims when most of them 2 bob cunts wouldn't in the first place! Disgusting parasites.

My firend tell me you prefer poor slavic girl over poor sub Saharan girl.

​​​​​​Is bad times yes. 

[Swiss.]

I can't wait to see all these countries just queing up to sign trade agreements with us post Brexit. In fact besides the cut and paste deals we have done from our previous existing EU deals I think there has been one significant one with Australia which apparently is screwing up our framers.

Canada, US where are they? 

Ah the benefits of Brexit....not.

I’d suggest that people have NOT “forgotten about the victims” at all and very much the opposite. The ‘people’ for the large part know that for a victim of any crime, it’s paramount that those who committed the crimes are brought to proper and full justice, and that applies equally to those who were in responsible positions, who could have stopped it, but chose for whatever reasons not to, and to allow it to continue for years.

Those people HAVE to be named and made accountable, THAT will help the victims, not all, but some even and they absolutely deserve that. Also naming the people involved and the positions they are in will assist in the process of ensuring that nothing like this happens again, because this is not the Victorian age, (not that it would be ‘acceptable’ even then), but the 2000s.

A modern civilised society should NEVER accept the systematic abuse of the vulnerable as has happened, and the enablers should be called out and shamed straight away, every single time.

Champion didn't and still doesn't  do nearly enough.
She talks the talk but does fuck all in reality.

Strong enough to call it out nationally when no other cսnt would in Politics way back in 2017.

 

She knew the FULL SCALE of what was going on .and imo she didn't do enough, and still doesn't .
where is she now?...still has it's nose in the trough
STRAW was home secretary and MP for Blackburn .
I've e-mailed both over the yrs with no actual replies.
Just generic bs.
My local MP masquerades as a Tory...he's a liberal

We're heading for a war  in our land  ...and it will be  bloody.

Agree with all that, still doesn't alter the fact both Oliver and Champion were banging on about this year's ago when most the establishment were burying their heads in the sands not acknowledging it, or possibly worse in Starmers case seemingly covering it up if that was what was going on. Like you I also want to see a proper inquiry.

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

Sarah Champion and Maggie Oliver were both well ahead of the curve on all this and were brave enough to whistle blow about it all years ago which just so happened to be on, yep you guessed it, Starmers watch at the CPS. He's got to be one of the worst Prime Ministers we have ever had and that'll take some doing amongst the likes of Truss and Brown. 

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

Goodness me. Even the BBC's left wing Political Editor is beginning to see the light:

Is Starmer leaving the door open to an abuse inquiry? - BBC News

I Would like to see the thousands of victims having their voices heard warts and all.
and all those that failed them held to account.
​​​​​​because for me, they are even worse than the vermin they protect.
