Tactical vote for me in Cheadle for Lib Dems, which will hopefully mean the zio-**** Mary Robinson loses her seat.

Fair play to Keith here. He knew he was already on a loser with Harry Cole.

This is an interesting article if only because i think it taps into why the Tories have lost so much support in the ‘blue wall’. It references a Brexit vibe and a sense of having lost ‘something’ and a radicalisation of the ‘sensibles’ - the articles phrase.

Brexit wasn't worth it

In the run-up to the 2016 EU Referendum, people at the IEA and in its wider orbit were having lively … Continue reading "Brexit wasn’t worth it"

‘One of the main social consequences of the Brexit vote has been the radicalisation of The Sensibles.

The Sensibles are a political tribe of sorts, except, they are defined by a vibe rather than a specific set of political beliefs. They have no strong convictions of their own. They base their politics on whatever is considered “respectable”, “reasonable”, “grown-up” and “nuanced” at a given time and place. They adopt whatever opinion is considered the smart, well-educated person’s opinion.

In our time, The Sensibles are invariably on the Left – although not in the sense of being Corbynite anti-capitalists. They are not ultra-woke either, although they would never criticise wokery, because smart, educated people don’t do that: that’s “Gammon”, and low-status.

The Sensibles have no strong loyalties to any political party: they may support Labour, or the Liberal Democrats, or the Greens, or one of the left-coded regionalist parties. They hate the Tory Party in its current form, but they love Rory Stewart, whom they used to see as “the one good Tory”, and they believe that there was a time when the party was more Sensible and Grown-Up. They are most easily defined by who and what they are against: Nigel Farage, Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, the Daily Mail, the Sun, populism, GB News, and Brexit. Of course Brexit. They really, really, really, really hate Brexit. And they cannot get over it.’

She’d a tear seeing that video near the end. Fucking disgraceful what this country has become under these self serving cunts.

Roll on the 4th to say goodbye, hopefully forever.

That backfired badly.

Making up a quote about letting relatives "die in the NHS" rather than go privately, is insanely offensive. Still, it clearly really wound him up, and it turns out he's not a bad speaker when he's annoyed.
