UK Politics Thread III: Thready McThreadface (+ Jo Cox)

[Anywhere Else But Here]

Dazza's just a normal bloke apparently: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-ox ... e-36359921

The decimal point was drawn in faint. He thought it was a £150000 car.

'Now Labour’s been accused of its own election expenses scandal'

'But there are crucial differences

However, Guido Fawkes also writes:'

"This is really no different to what the Tories were doing."

'In fact, it is very different, on several crucial counts
Firstly, unlike the Conservatives, it seems that none of the Labour candidates named – so far, at least – would have breached the campaign spending cap had they included the costs of the buses in their local expenses. Guido does accuse one Labour MP of this:....' Bex Summer the Canary

It is about time we started to enter the modern age as far as our energy economy is concerned.

You people did a good job of that by privatising BFNL and British Energy

The French State, EDF, and the French electricity consumer thank you for that, by the way!

Roads are not inherently anti-green are they. I mean all of you chaps up north are probably quite green in your donkey carts.

Ah, the world renowned southern sense of humour, said nobody ever.

A victory for sanity; http://www.theguardian.com/environment/ ... five-years.
Councillors in Yorkshire have approved plans for fracking. Fracking is a massive industry- Britain is wasting billions on wind farms and so on. However important renewable energy is, the amount of money, the independence, shale gas can provide, could assure this country's energy industry for decades to come. We need more of this.

I'm happy to see this pass.

Not good enough, nationalise energy and start building nucs, now.

It would be nice to see energy made genuinely competitive by allowing encouraging community-owned utilities. Have the local council source their own energy and offer it to consumer, or subcontract small and medium enterprises to do just that. It's worked wonders in Germany, it can work here.

Not sure local government can afford to produce nuclear power stations tbh.

Obviously. I never proposed that.

Well I'm not envious of the horse shit smell in Surrey.

You usually can't smell that in the most expensive town in the country!
I usually smell flowers from the lovely gardens!

Tories have an obsession with envy.

I think this is strange. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I am a Yorkshireman, if for some reason you think I am going to be envious of anyone for their home or identity then you quite clearly know nothing about Yorkshire.

It's called "God's own county" for a reason.

But again it's a strange obsession. Maybe because you're all so materialistic? Do you really think the striking miners were part of a "politics of envy?"

[Questers]

And by the way, we've plenty of flowers up north.

Politics of laziness, actually.
Most miners, I am sure were very hardworking, and did not want to strike. Most, I am sure, were manipulated by the greedy, greedy unions.

ok buddy

actually it was about preserving their dignity, dignity that arises from work, and their communities. it doesn't surprise me you don't think this is legitimate.

You're literally a parody of a parody of parody.

No, sweethard, the Unions were trying to destroy this country, using their unfair control over the ability to generate electricity to force a series of successive weak governments, Labour & Conservative, to push through their hideous demands. Thank God we got a Prime Minister in 1979 who, after carefully negotiating around the first strike of her term, managed to crush the unions. Bring the mad dogs under control.

Callaghan would have done the same (with an actual social conscience mind you) if he called an election in 1978. It's not like it was a problem that needed the almighty magician Maggie Thatcher.

Watch for trollnaming.

Though I wonder: Frasers, is that you?

The banks were trying to destroy this country, using their unfair control over the ability to generate capital, to force a series of successive weak governments, Labour & Conservative, to push through their hideous demands. Thank God we got a Prime Minister in 2020...

I lost my password for my first account. It was this, or use an account which was entirely RP which does not fit my own political views. So, tbh, no, you are not getting trolled, I just made a new account.
