UK Politics Thread

Looks like Labour is going to win today's election by a lot. Interesting how Britain rather lead the populist movement, with Brexit, and now seems to be coming out the other side, with France just really getting into it.

More along the lines of the Conservative Party completely betraying their base and doing the exact opposite of what they claimed in their manifesto. You only need to read the conservativewoman blog to get a feel of what their middle england base think of them. Next it's Labour's turn to betray their base. Starmer has openly stated that he sees Davos as the future, so look for the technocracy to proceed at a rapid pace.

well that was a shit show but a necessary one. I'm happy to confirm that in my place the Tories held. I'm true blue to the end, as in small 'c' conservative. I sincerely hope that the Conservative Party will take this time out of government to reclaim true conservatism, and not the toxic populism that has been de rigueur since the push for Brexit gathered strength. I want nothing to do with populism hence my antipathy to the likes of Trump and Bojo. I do however recognise the cause of the populist movement, it has its place in political history, particularly when the State dislocates itself from the electorate, and that was certainly. the case post the global financial crisis. Hopefully we'll find our sense of who we are again! So many things to be resolved before we get there. Wealth inequality. The free rein tech moguls seem to have in this era, globalisation, immigration, climate change etc. All needs to be translate into a set of policies or political philosophies consistent with the core beliefs of true conservatism. It can be done but few if any politicians of the centre right have nailed it yet.

I must say I've been amused listening to some of the takes of some foreign pundits about what the UK elections mean. I honestly don't think it's that deep. The Tories were tired, if they're honest I bet you most of them are just relieved to be done with it. Even the gambling-gate that happened during the election should make it very clear that there was a complete ideological, political and psychological exhaustion.

You don't have to be sexually depraved to work for the BBC, but it sure seems to help.

Former BBC zoologist Adam Britton jailed for ten years for raping dogs

Adam Robert Corden Britton was sentenced in an Australian court having previously pleaded guilty to 56 offences related to the torture and sexual exploitation of more than 42 dogs

The world has collectively lost it fk'n mind! The politicians are nuts, the electorate need serious help, & the cops are overstepping!

If I’d known my anxiety could cause somebody to be arrested I’d have reported Djokovic to the cops years ago.

But seriously, this is really bizarre. “Somebody is anxious right now because of a reposted social media thingy.” It’s bizarre. It’s closely related to the crybully claim that “Your questions are Violence.”

If somebody is anxious and rings the cops, they should be told, “sorry, when you rang 999 you should have asked for an ambulance.” The unfortunate and scary part of this is, there are cops who’ll relish this. Their success rates of catching criminals will go through the roof..

this wouldn't happen without the sanction of the politicians. We live in a world where people can possess indecent pictures of kids and aren't imprisoned, but if you hurt someone's feelings on X you can go to jail. Make it make sense.

No wonder the grooming gangs were able to get off scot free

Now, this is baffling:

Chelsea star Sam Kerr cleared of racial harassment​

She was very clearly abusing the police officer on the basis of race. She even summed up her words by stating jaded and deranged far-left talking points:

Ms Kerr said she regretted the way she expressed herself but added: "I feel the message was still relevant".

She denied using whiteness as an insult and claimed: "I believed it was him using his power and privilege over me because he was accusing me of being something I'm not.

"I was trying to express that due to the power and privilege they had, they would never have to understand what we had just gone through and the fear we were having for our lives."

The old living-in-fear-of-whitey tripe got this disgusting person off a charge of “causing racially aggravated harassment.”

People in power need to reassess their attitudes to racially motivated abuse, and not look at this topic through distorted left wing lenses: because black people and minorities can be racist!

I just hope that common sense can prevail and this era of madness ends. Can you just imagine if she had been a ''he' and said... "stupid and black"?? I mean what are we doing here??

She was totally racist and the judge bought into all the usual stupid far left ignorance about race. Classic example of false compassion.

I began to watch a fairly good show on Netflix, New Amsterdam, set in a hospital. Early on a black doctor dumped a white doctor because she’s white. He only wants to date a coloured woman, and have black kids. Now we see the obvious thing here, that this is okay - until you reverse it and a white bloke dumps a black girl cos he only wants a white woman and white kids.

At the moment, cos the white female doctor is hot af, he’s struggling with his obviously racist attitudes, previously so proudly stated and accepted. Could be that this show bucks the trend and gives him a teachable moment, which would be fresh: black dudes can be racist, and white people can be victims of racism from black people.

I doubt it, but it would be welcome…

I agree with you, but you would be shocked at how so many minorities believe that they can't be racist. It's cultural marxism. As messed up as a woman thinking that she can hit a man, with no retaliation. Which by the way. is what happens in a lot of domestic violence reports. The data says that the majority of incidents are mutual, but they tend to only log the male violence not the female. I don't feel quite as sympathetic to the police for this reason. I've heard of so many cases where the man calls the police because of violence against him, and when the police come, he's the one who gets arrested. This implies that the police are also guilty of the very same cultural marxism

I think with Identity politics the seductive part is that it’s simplistic: if we deal with groups, merely, and deny the individuality of everybody within the group, it’s a shortcut to making a bigger plan work: the bigger plan being to treat everybody the same. By disregarding that they’re actually not all the same?

But when we add in the other feature of undying Marxism, that if inequality is caused by oppression, then therefore the actions of successful people are evidence if oppression, and the ones who aren’t successful are obviously oppressed, according to the equation, and…uh..wuh…I’ve got a headache trying to think about it.

Minorities can’t be racist because of power dynamics? Is that it? And women can’t be violent towards men, because women are oppressed? And men are oppressers? Therefore any violence by women on men…is men’s fault?!
