Normal Tory MP behaviour this week, nothing to see here. Everything is fine.
I had to go look and see if the image was @beschizza’ed, and it’s a @xeni story… so, that’s just how he looks, I guess.
Move along!
And the prize for “Understatement of the Week” goes to…
Boris the Johnson. Hey, UK, enjoy your dipshit haystack. Ours hasn’t worked out too well.
Given Johnson’s overtly awful behavior up until this point (the racism, thuggishness, etc.) does this even register among Tories? Or does it help his chances?
These people are so relentlessly ‘on brand’, it’s exhausting.
Yeah, it’s gonna be great. No problem. We’ll be fine. Nothing to worry about. Can’t see what the fuss is about. No, honestly, what’s the worst that could happen?
…fuck…
Shoring up support from his base, no doubt.
It seems that way. Once they start pandering in earnest to the Know-Nothings, it’s not long before conservative politicians everywhere start getting caught abusing women. See also:
Remember, kids, they rarely get caught the first time.
Worse, sometimes it’s an open secret. I’m sure this wasn’t the first time the cops had to come to this creep’s house, either:
“democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.”. Mencken
Hunt it is. I wish I was a betting woman…I have been predicting for hunt to be the next PM for forever…
Oh, amidst all the Brexit fun, we’re going to have a general election. The British parliamentary system is setting itself studiously on fire.
I look forward to a good stock of young comedians in 20 years time - they’re going to have plenty of material to work with.
Finally, a bright side!
The only one, admittedly…
Bright? Which?
The future comedians (granted) …
or the setting on fire of the parliamentary system (dubious) …
or a general election (NO - it will be a disaster - Corbyn is almost certainly unelectable at this point - well past his Glastonbury peak - and Johnson is catnip to too many dumb fuck voters. A general election with Johnson getting a mandate is the worst possible ever scenario - and most likely if there is an election)
Just to clarify, if we still have electrical power and broadcast capability, Mock the Week 2039 has potential.
Everything else is a shitshow.
