At least his bullshit was short and sweet then.😃

I don't know, he's too much fun.

He's always fucking touchy. The fact of the matter is, whether I personally like it or not, PM appears to have  contemporary views on some subjects which I would have thought would appeal to the wokists and snowflakes who seem to be growing in number in places like this one.

There isn't a politician alive on which any of us will agree with utterly and completely. He knows that of course.

I would place her right at the centre of the Conservative Party which is good enough for me. The theatrical one knows what is likely to happen to his dahling chardonnay (and strawberries and cream) quaffing socialists if she gets the gig. They will continue to lose at the despatch box and very likely at the next GE.

This is why he is touchy (unless he's scuffed one of his elbow patches today?).

You wish I was touchy don't you, you big old bear.

As you well know, I am strange. Tonight I may avert my attention to Stranger Things ;)

Not annoyed for the simple reason that years of observation have taught me that certain things, especially in the maelstrom of politics, are inevitable. PM has been tactically brilliant. Withdrawn from the public eye for a few months; launching her tilt at the leadership late in the piece; cleverly including a Q&A session at the end of her launch etc. It was always going to be the case that her opposition would attack the tall poppy sooner or later - especially after such a spectacular launch by comparison to the rest and her popularity throughout the membership. Will it be enough though? I hope not and that she fends off Truss & Co. before demolishing Sunak in the final run off.

I know dyslexia can be a debilitating condition so, with this in mind, I will keep this brief for you. The reference to the Labour Party was not one of my heartfelt rants against the evils of socialism. Merely a comment on the nature of politics when it comes to leadership contests. I could quite easily have used the pointless centrists or the skirt wearing ingrates from north of the border but I must be unconsciously drawn to exposing evil.

Trying to draw a comparison between the redecoration of a London flat/a flight to a private island to over a century of sleaze ranging from communist infiltration to  branch stacking and various other sinister activities is like comparing The Dog and Duck playing an unregistered player to years of bribery and corruption by the  Agnelli's at Juventus. Beyond ludicrous.

And the point I was making originally that you came back with the usual 'it would be worse under Labour' rant, was that it is not just her opponents that are coming for her it is the press. Take a look at the headlines into todays on line Daily Mail all the political headlines are in some way critical of her. (At least they were earlier today) 

Not sure why your comparison is the decoration of a London flat although I suppose trivialising what Boris has been upto might help keep him in your Churchill Top Ten. 
I repeat it was a strange response as if you support PM for PM as you say you are, my post was highlighting how the establishment is starting to work against her. But you seem to think  you need to post something anti Left every time you type. You really do not need to. 

I love the fact that equal rights for all is a 'contemporary view'

I think it is OK as long as you keep your feelings suppressed in a closet.

Yes - what was it - Bolty doesn't mind it all 'being behind closed doors' but doesn't like 'em flaughtin' it.

Just in case he can't bare it any longer and he just waps his wanger out into some young pup's trifle.

Only a couple of years until you can exercise your democratic right. Mr. Beige will probably still be around for you.

Since 1900 we are leading 14 to 6. If PM gets the job, it will be 15 to 6. There's a reason for this. The UK population instinctively know who is best equipped to run the country.

Labour certainly isn’t my team. I’ll vote for who I think is best and that changes over the years/people. They’ll get my vote though currently as I do see them as a better government elect.

I don’t like any of this cabinet as they are thick as pig shit and couldn’t give a shit about the average person and look after their hooray Henry pals. Tossers to a man.

I thought it was all alright, as long as you didn't make eye-contact or push back

Did you miss the bit where I said to the same volume ? 
 

Took a look at the Daily Mail site and flick through the headlines. 
 

 

 

Maybe she’s just got more “volume” to uncover than the others? Penny’s got lots of good qualities but her views on some subjects might appear stronger than many Tory’s would be happy with. If the idea is to pick a more right leaning Conservative leader then maybe she’s not the one to go with?

Don't be ramming it down our throats.

I'm surpised that gay rights is a left leaning issue. Personally I'd say it was a human rights issue and therefore isn't left or right.

Odd you mention it.

Here we go, I might have expected “human rights’ to be brought into it by one of you lot and you never let me down. You have your views, I have mine, others have theirs and everyone’s entitled to them, unless of course you’re into cancel culture as well, or is that not left leaning either?

Simple question, simple answer time.

Gay marriage? Yes or no?

That wasn't a proposal by the way😃

Whoa, I’d keep off the maths bolty, that might be a step too far for the poor souls. 😉

Simple answer then Mick.

Whatever floats your boat. It’s an accepted fact that some are attracted to the same sex, so it makes sense for them to live life how they want to.

As long as they keep their sordid perversions behind closed doors and don't flaunt them, and have Pride events and stuff. Probably. 

PM clarified her comments/beliefs regarding trans rights etc. Made perfect (common sense).

Wouldn't consider her as being on the left of her party, even if she was proclaiming pardoning witches.

If there is more to uncover why not do it in one article ? Simple answer numerous stories make it seem worse. 
When you say 'the idea is to pick' can you clarify whose idea you are referring to ? I thought it was an election and people could choose who they vote for. Although you are right, because it is clear that the idea of some people who seem to exert a lot of influence is that they should be choosing which Oxbridge candidate gets the job.

Good lad.
