ForenSix Opposition - Politics in the Soon To Be Former UK in Autumn 2020

somebody else on Twitter made that point, the melts continually called Corbynism a cult but some of these cunts would take a bullet SUV for Starmzy

"Y'all"? Joanna plum logged on to give us a li'l country wisdom on SUVs in Central London.

Corbyn, often going about on his pushiron was absolutely loathed by the leader of the Green party to the point she attempted a GNU that excluded him and included Tories. Check out MC Starmzy larging it about in his SUV, mowing down cyclists like they are subhuman roadkill. Get out of my fucking way losers!

Any other Labour leader would have twenty points on his license already imo.

Only interesting part of this story imo is that he apparently left the scene before police arrived, which you’re not supposed to do? Or does it matter for minor incidents, idk, I can’t drive

Neither can Kieth

Pleased to note that Baz S’s strong performance meant he was one of the 7 runner-ups to go through

WORLD CUP OF WORST LABOUR MPs - ROUND OF 32 - GROUP 4

TOP TWO QUALIFY

I'm Backing Barry

just like with Bazzas 50 year political career, he always manages to plod on under the radar because there is always some other Labour MP marginally worse than him catching all the heat.

He is like the platonic ideal of a wasteman MP who's somehow wriggled his way into the cushiest job his meagre abilities qualify him for

in some ways he's even more objectionable than the dearly departed Frank Field in the sense that Fieldy had some pretty strong convictions, mostly Tory right-wing convictions, but Bazza might often get into trouble for parroting bigoted tory talking points - but I get the sense he's barely even sentient + doesn't believe in anything other than Baz Sheerman - professional lobbyist for hire.

I would like to emphasise the fag paper between appetite shaming and body shaming in order to continue to rubberneck this pile on

Some of those piling on will be straight up body-shaming wankers but for some reason the phrase "big dinners" is intrinsically funny

Really looking forward to the reveal that Sambrook wrote the graffiti himself.

Calculated manoeuvres all within a week of a young black footballer taking the government to task for not doing what you may well call a socialism

The Right sending out a distraction chaff drop that "The Left are the real racists" is a trick right out of Goebbels' propaganda playbook #BigLie

Sadly our outrage just fuels their game

You should get an extra discount for every person you've killed

Re: Gary Sambrook - I personally found the humour in the intrinsic hilariousness of the phrase, and the fact he posted it to complain about it. Onimo otm re distinction

ehrc report out Thursday apparently

Further 367 people have died within 28 days of positive Covid test
The UK government said a further 367 people had died within 28 days of testing positive for Covid-19 as of Tuesday. This brings the total to 45,365. That is the highest daily figure since 27 May, when 422 deaths were reported.

Actually it could be delayed reporting, it's a weird jump

Guardian is claiming 367 deaths within 24 hours.

7 day rolling average is just under 200 per day and rising quickly.

which is p. much what Whitty and co said would happen if something wasn't done (to hoots of derision from the usuals).

Whitty actually said the deaths could be up to 200 a day in November if we didn’t take quick action, so we’re ahead of schedule

great british pluck in action

And those Unchained wankers call us lazy

couldn't be arsed to do EO2HO tbf

Van Morrison for leader of the Labour Party...

The UK is my home. My business, directly and indirectly, provides employment for thousands of people each year. Imperial College, UK Govt and NI Executive have plunged us into lockdown destroying those livelihoods. It’s time they provide the roadmap back out.

— Van Morrison (@vanmorrison) October 27, 2020

"The Roadmap Back Out" has always been one of my fave Van deep cuts

Jon Stone seems okay. His Twitter account completely disappearing, apparently over this, though is utterly bizarre.

you don't fuck with big Keith, plenty of space for more shallow graves at his donkey sanctuary!

He seems like a good guy. Looks like he just got fucked off after a pile-on but when he spent yesterday getting into an increasingly involved argument with all manner of random reply dudes over whether or not it was morally acceptable to drive any car in inner London I did wonder what the hell he was getting into and who he thought was going to benefit from it.

Second thought was being told "we can all see you're dicking around on Twitter, do some work" but they still employ Rentoul who is apparently never off it.

If some of these Starmer cultists were as passionate about socialism as they are about defending big fuck-off posh tory bastard, fuel guzzling 4-wheel drives, then they wouldn't have voted for the creep in the first place!

Probably a hefty subset of War On The Motorist types in there as well.

it was a perfectly reasonable comment he made, anyone driving around London in one of them things is a total dick. At least some of the local Tory cunts in my locality have the argument that lots of the unadopted bits of road that lead to their converted farmhouses turn to advanced quagmire from the autumn onwards. but fuck them as well tbf!

I've scrolled past the tweet now but I noticed this morning that that someone's calculated that the cost to government of a week of feeding the hungry weans at Christmas equals half a day of eat out to help out.

Super Rishi economics are just amazing, no wonder he's been vaunted as the next PM elect

also eat out to shit out has had no long term benefits for the hospitality industry

It's weirdly fascinating how the Telegraph can run with "second wave predicted to be more deadly than the first" as the exclusive front-page splash and still fill the paper with opinion columnists dead-set against national or local lockdowns at any cost.

hey, not many people ate out to help out but every one who did formed a bubble

There was a quote from a Tory MP, probably a disgruntled one briefing to a journalist, from early in the summer that was basically "by the time we get to November, no one will be talking about whether we should have closed the pubs a week earlier, it'll be how we got into this bloody awful recession". Eat Out To Help Out makes sense in the context of that, they basically thought it would be all over by now despite all evidence pointing to the contrary.

The whole thing might have been delayed a bit if it hadn't pissed with rain throughout the Bank Holiday weekend but we'd have ended up back here anyway.

There has been no real strategy for exiting lockdown properly since the start and there still doesn't seem to be one beyond "hope the Oxford vaccine rides to our rescue soon".

this is why the government's management of the situation has been a glaring disaster that should transcend party politics in a world where anything mattered

It's weirdly fascinating how the Telegraph can run with "second wave predicted to be more deadly than the first" as the exclusive front-page splash and still fill the paper with opinion columnists dead-set against national or local lockdowns at any cost.

I've read the report now and it's saying - with the source probably coming directly from Number 10 - that the government is expecting a lower number of deaths every day for a much longer period of time. Which is another way of saying there won't be a national lockdown this winter.

(Until they realise the death rate is much higher than they predicted and once again they shut the stable door after the horse has bolted).

so the cyclist Kieth ran over is a Deliveroo worker

i'm sure deliveroo's famously robust worker protections will ensure that their employee isn't financially as well as physically ruined by their encounter with kieth's suv
