Tessa Jowell delivered the Olympics.

Tories trying to ride on the coattails
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Apparently Johnson also delivered Crossrail, you know the rail project that is years behind and billions overpriced.

I'm afraid politics is a very repetitive business Sandy

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes but also one side of the argument is only ever presented by either side. For example the vast majority of people of I know (both sexes) think that the burqa oppresses women and say fair play to those in the public eye who call it out.

I haven't heard much from that side of the argument recently.

This is Great Britain. We do not tell people what they can and cannot wear.

I love the way the Tories keep bringing up how Johnson won two Mayor of London elections, that was like nearly 10 years ago, and a lot has changed, and the second time he barely scrapped past Ken Livingstone, who was way past his sell buy date. He was an awful mayor anyway, he wasted so much money on bridges that never opened, buses that never ran, an Olympic Stadium that is still costing the taxpayers millions and other madcap schemes that never got off the ground. He was totally and utterly useless as Mayor of London contrary to the nonsense currently being peddled by the Tory media.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm afraid politics is a very repetitive business Sandy. If I had a pound for everytime I've heard somebody bleating on about 350mil on the side of a bus or letterboxes in recent months I'd be a very rich man.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a central plank of the Leave Campaign, the bus was wheeled out without fail every single day. Now if you are not going to believe or take any notice of that, then why should the vote of three years ago be taken seriously, when it is obvious that there is no plan for delivery, and never has been. The whole Brexit shambles was just to please the extreme right wing of the Tory Party, and three years on, it is still that internal fight in the Tory Party that is at the centre of everything.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
UKIPs results in the 2014 European vote sealed the deal for the EU ref.

People go on about the bus but conveniently forget that the bottom was supposed to drop out the economy the day after the ref if we voted leave with the loss of 800k jobs.

That was a much bigger lie.

The UK economy is between 1%/1.5% smaller than it would have been since the Brexit vote, with a loss of around a quarter of a million jobs.

I honestly don't get how people think Boris is the right person to go to Brussels and get a deal?

We are deffo not going to get any deals and we'll probably get kicked out with nothing and Boris will just disappear on his bike, smiling all the way to the Bank because some stupid Banker will give a not executive role somewhere

The rest of us will be screwed

How can you keep missing the point so badly?

Do you tell your partner how to dress and thats why you're defending it?

Really how others dress or what they believe in is nobody's business but the person themselves

But with Burka which has a veil on it, as with a balaclava, if you can't see the face of a person, visually the most identifying part of that person, then as a security operative, I should have the right to ask the person to take down their veil so an identification could be made?

Are you saying that only women forced to wear it should be defended but women forced not to should be ignored?

No, some men just think it’s ok to control women. That’s what it’s really about.

posted on 21/6/19

There are instances where that is the case and there are instances where that isn't.

I can understand when people are against what Iran and Saudi do. I can understand when people against what certain European nations have done (in the opposite manner). In both cases those are taking away the rights of women to choose how they dress. In one instance you could say its men and power. The other is to do with race and power.

You can't say you support women's choice in one instance and take it away in another. You would be a hypocrite.

This just in....And folks, it's a CONservative MP

A by-election will be held in Brecon and Radnorshire after 10,005 people signed a petition to remove the constituency's Conservative MP, Chris Davies.

From https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-48720176

CONservative living up to the name

Boris would be proud.

“Boris Johnson is the ultimate proof that Britain is depressingly far from a meritocracy. His is the ultimate proof that, even if you are incompetent, dishonest and morally vacuous, the highest post in the land can be yours as long as you come from the right class”.

Read that the other day and wholeheartedly agree. I despise the man.

If you look at the accusations labelled at Corbyn, like anitsemitism, and compare that with thieving and fraud, by the conservative party, there is definite media bias to make it sound like Corbyn should be hanged beacuse he is a bad man!
Whereas the opposition get away with being incompetent, frauds and the like.

It's ok to be Richard Turpin these days?

What makes me sick is the fact a party can elect a prime minister without people's vote, just because we have the "party gets elected and not individual" policy?

I think the people should decided who should run as a PM?

In current situation which is farcical to say the least, the people can do nothing while a bumbling fool gets to run the country?
