No way that was accidental. Completely hits the nail on the head for the Torygraph mob. There's about sixteen opinion pieces a week calling everyone lazy.

Thought exactly the same. That's for the tory members, simple as. The only ones who work hard are the ones who have money, it's why they have money, therefore the north are all lazy bastards. Standard tory bollocks.

Haha, I really caught myself the other day. I realised I legit hadn't even thought this ONCE since the head to head started. Baffling, huh?

Question to self: "Where the fuck had my brain been all that time?"

Brain Answers Back: Yeah, pretty convenient, huh? Don't ask. This sort of stuff is going on in here all the fucking time. You wouldn't want to know.
Self: No, really, why the fuck? It must be society, right?
Brain: Society? Haha. Of course. Your bout of selective amnesia was nothing to do with you whatsoever. Actually, it's probably because she's a woman.
Self: No, that's not how I work!
Brain: Pfff. Think about it. A lot of hard headed, cold reason went into that period, didn't it? No. You had an awful lot of fun slating a woman ...knowing you'd totally getting away with it.
Self: uhhh...
Brain: See? I told you, you don't want to know how it works up here. Now fuck off and stop asking so many questions.
 
Now she’s telling Scottish Conservative party members that she once had a Scottish accent ffs……….

Here it is ,,,, she also admits that Brexit was built on lying about the Eu and immigration




The British are the “worst idlers in the world”, from Britannia Unchained. The book is written by Kwasi Kwarteng, Priti Patel, Dominic Raab, Chris Skidmore and Liz Truss

I hear lots of references to this and the young -given that an awful lot of them get job offers in retail on 12 to 16hr a week contracts what do they expect? What sort of commitment - what sort of long term view can they have about a job in a Sainsbury Local for 12 hrs - its hardly something you can look to get a home and start a family on is it? She only has interests in bankers in London and the like. London where there are lots of high paying jobs, company head offices and financial institutions - hmmm I wonder how there is an imbalance between North and South

I actually thought that you were making this up, and that no such book actually exists, as it sounds like a title that you might find in the Scarfolk Council library.

But here's a review:

www.theguardian.com

Britannia Unchained: Global Lessons for Growth and Prosperity – review

A tract by Tory rising stars is extreme, unpatriotic and bodes ill for conservatism, argues Jon Cruddas
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

They just don't get it, do they? And by 'they' I don't just mean the contributors to that book but most Conservatives who think that it is only ever about economic growth and profit.

In actuality, empirical studies have shown that political liberty, health and education are all poorly correlated with growth. It is also possible for an economy to be growing but still to suffer from staggering distributional inequalities that lead to a plethora of social problems. For example, according to the economic researchers Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett, in societies where there is more of a gap between rich and poor, levels of trust between citizens are eroded, people have fewer friends, more tend to suffer from mental health issues and physical problems like obesity, and levels of self-reported happiness are lower. In Britain, for instance (a significantly unequal society according to this research), depression is now, apparently, the condition that is most treated by the NHS.

Can't believe that the Tories are still peddling these clapped out ideas that have been shown to be demonstrably false.

Plus, when this kind of mentality becomes predominant, we begin to understand everything, including ourselves, merely as resources to be enhanced and used efficiently. So everything gets flattened into one dimension. Education is one example of this when the humanities and arts are perceived as superfluous luxuries to be pruned away from primary, secondary and higher education. In actual fact, subjects that fall within that umbrella are vital to a healthy democracy and global citizenship. Drama and literature, for example, can instil a sense of empathy because they arouse the sympathetic imagination, so that we actually get what it might be like to stand in the shoes of someone that is different from us.

Disturbingly, truth itself gets subverted by the narrow philosophy of homo economicus, as all that matters is efficiency and flexibility. Even those who do not buckle under the pressures of this kind of system end up talking like HAL, the deranged AI from 2001 : A Space Odyssey, who when asked whether he is is happy on his mission, replies, 'I am using all my capacities to the maximum. What more could a rational entity want?'

That's a dystopia for you.

It’s amazing how she’s lionised for the 80’s when it was absolute awful. Goes to show how memory can be skewed, especially in this country, given it has always preferred to look to the past rather than live in the present and plan for the future.

You just need to look at the Scandinavian countries, where the gap between rich and poor is less, they have a better standard of living and are altogether happier.

Going to be another Gordon Brown, unelected PM who gets booted out at the first GE. Suicidal by the Tory's choosing either her or Sunak as PM.

There was no one else on radar, Johnson filled his cabinet with supposed loyal idiots who would keep him there no matter what. Now he is gone this is the frightening situation we are left with.

IMO it had to be someone not in his cabinet, Mourdant would have had more of a chance of winning next GE than these two. But even her chance would have been slim.
