UK Political Thread, part the second

I keep joking that nuclear power plants are simultanously considered too dangerous on land, but plenty safe in a submarine.

Nuclear power plants that float in an ocean have a surprisingly low risk of running out of coolant.

It hasnā€™t been removed from 10 Downing Street, it is hanging in another part of the building (a cellar where the features are gradually becoming older? Told you we should have used a stake).

So youā€™re telling me thereā€™s a young Margaret Thatcher roaming the land, plotting her revenge?

Where did you think they got Liz Truss from?

Sheā€™s as evil but nowhere near as personally effective. Basically because most people meeting Truss think sheā€™s mad and an idiot. Thatcher was good enough at her act that most people didnā€™t even notice that she was drunk.

Maybe Iā€™m unfair. Perhaps thereā€™s just more attention on people now and having a cabinet of drunkards, paedophiles, and rapists would just tend to attract more criticism now than it did when Thatcher had one in the 80s.

Yep. The petri dish has other candidates who are more competent at delivering evil, but I suspect we are not able to identify them yet as the mask hasnā€™t slipped far enough. Braverman, for example, is too obvious, Badenoch is none too subtle either. And, of course, it neednā€™t be a woman.

And interesting headline writing - the obvious two things the group have in common is pro-Gaza and being to the Left of the Parlimentary Labour Party. Iā€™m not expressing a preference for either, but itā€™d be equally valid to call it a socialist Commons group.

The body of the article doesnā€™t mention that theyā€™re as numerous as Farageā€™s current party. Be worth paying attention to see if this splinter group gets as much media time as Reform.

It does.

Already outnumbering the Green Party and matching the number of Reform UK MPs

Yeah, the crucial difference between the current crop of Tory leaders (ha!) and Thatcher is that she was not a moron. She was evil, and she was capable, which made her ten times worse.
