British Banter

You really are uneducated - where did you get that from?
Are you saying that because I believe in Democracy - then that makes me - not only a 'Tory' supporter - But a 'Thatcherite' ???
I've no idea what academic level you achieved (if any) or other advisory guidance you got from other sourses, but your views are blinkered, one dimensional and limited to critical statement. It's actually sad to see

 

I agree with you WOLF.
I don’t have any conversation with that bigot twit as your judgment of him really doesn’t half cover my opinion.
Being a life long Marxist and Trotsky and Leninist bigot there is no reasonable sense to be had from a conversation with someone like that.
Pretty thick really.
It’s either their opinion that matters or there is no other opinion allowed at all.
Say anything against his opinion and you are a scumbag and all of the other nasty insults he can throw at you and you're perhaps opposing beliefs.
This person is the nastiest piece of work I have ever come across in all my years of being on a forum.
Best just ignore him and his bile.
I learned that many years ago!

Now of course.
I expect a torrent of dim minded scumbag insults.
Par for course really!

........

 

Here is a blue dog with a red alligator.

 

Just for good measure, here are a couple more blue dogs.

 

I prefer Red Cats

. . . .

 

Arguing and reasoning is one of the best known conversations ..a different point of view refreshing if you are able to appreciate and understand that everyone might not agree with a culture place or thing .....name calling is just mud flinging without to much sense of contact

 

Taken the British public long enough to realise this scumbag is ruining their lives !!!

Boris Johnson would lose seat in general election 'wipeout' for Tories, poll suggests

Boris Johnson is currently on course to lose his seat at the next general election, a poll has suggested.

Carried out last month at the height of the Downing Street lockdown parties scandal, and published in the Sunday Times, the poll hints at the extent of the damage caused by "Partygate" to the Conservative Party.

The survey, run by James Johnson, ex-prime minister Theresa May's pollster, suggested a "wipeout" in which Johnson's Tories currently stand to win their lowest number of seats – 201 – in a general election since 2005.

Labour would win 352 seats, the poll suggested, giving leader Sir Keir Starmer a small majority of 14.

Going into the 2019 election, Johnson's majority of 5,034 in his Uxbridge and South Ruislip seat was one of the lowest ever for a sitting PM, though it rose to 7,120 in the event.

The seat has previously been heavily targeted by Labour and the latest polling would encourage the party to do so again should Johnson – who has appointed election strategist David Canzini to help try and repair his reputation – still be PM when the next election is held.

As well as Johnson, half his current cabinet members would lose their seats, the poll suggested.

Those projected to lose their seats include defence secretary Ben Wallace, transport secretary Grant Shapps and COP26 president Alok Sharma.

Meanwhile, 55 of 65 "red wall" MPs – Tory candidates who won in traditionally Labour-supporting areas, driving Johnson's stunning 2019 landslide victory – would also be voted out.

In an ominous sign for Johnson, the poll found Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, considered the leading contenders to take over his job, are more popular than him in every seat in the country. Meanwhile, Johnson's name was cited as the biggest reason for hesitation to vote Tory among swing voters.

James Johnson, who conducted the survey of 4,500 voters, wrote on Twitter: "There is a seismic shift away from the Tories and towards Labour."

He added: "Are we saying this level of Tory wipeout is going to be the result in 2024? No. The gap will narrow in an actual election, Labour still has huge weaknesses.

"But although the news may move on from Partygate, the Tory brand damage has all the signs of being long-lasting."

The Met Police is currently probing 12 alleged gatherings held across Whitehall and Downing Street on eight dates during coronavirus restrictions, with the PM alleged to have attended six of them.

 

So, 'our' (phth, phth, phth) ever so squeaky clean Government (sick !!!) who have taken a holier than thou attitude to Russia still have their shitty hands in Vladimir Putin's pockets.

The scumbag 'nasty sleaze party' is still mired in sleaze up to its neck.


Give Russian-linked donations to Ukrainian charities, Labour MP tells PM

Christopher McKeon
2 March 2022, 2:08 pmThe Conservative Party should give money from a Conservative donor with Russian links to Ukrainian humanitarian causes, the Prime Minister has been told.

Lubov Chernukhin, whose husband Vladimir Chernukhin served as Russian President Vladimir Putin’s deputy finance minister before moving to the UK in 2004, has given more than £2 million to the Conservative Party since 2016.

Figures released by the Electoral Commission on Wednesday show Mrs Chernukhin donated another £80,250 to the party in the final months of 2021.

At Prime Minister’s Questions on the same day, Labour MP Bill Esterson asked the Prime Minister if he would instruct the Conservative Party to hand the money to Ukrainian humanitarian causes.

I asked Boris Johnson if he would end the suspicion of conflicts of interest and show solidarity with the Ukrainian people by giving the £2 million they have accepted from Lubov Chernukhin, to Ukrainian humanitarian causes. He chose not to take the opportunity to do so. pic.twitter.com/66DIOntiNf

Mr Esterson said: “I know he doesn’t want to tar everyone with Russian links with the same brush and neither do I, but leaked documents… show that Vladimir Chernukhin received eight million US dollars from a Russian member of parliament, an ally of Putin who was later sanctioned by the United States.

“This is an opportunity for the Conservative Party and for the Prime Minister to end the suspicion of conflict of interests with Putin whilst showing solidarity with the Ukrainian people.”

Boris Johnson replied: “It is absolutely vital that if we are to have a successful outcome in what we are trying to do collectively, united with Ukraine, that we demonstrate that this is not about the Russian people, it is about the Putin regime.”

The Tories have previously defended taking money from Mrs Chernukhin and there is no suggestion that Mr and Mrs Chernukhin’s wealth is illegitimate.

Mrs Chernukhin is entitled to donate to UK political parties as she is a British citizen.

Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner said: “The Government’s dangerous links to Putin’s cronies must be rooted out.

“If this Government is serious about taking the toughest measures to eradicate Putin’s influence in Britain, they must first get their own house in order.”

We’ve published the donations and loans that political parties reported to us from October to December 2021.

Other major donors to the Conservative Party listed in Wednesday’s release from the Electoral Commission, which covers the final three months of 2021, include West End producer John Gore, who donated £350,000 over the period.

Mr Gore has donated more than £6 million to the Conservative Party since 2017, making him one of the party’s leading donors in recent years.

In total, the party received almost £5 million in donations during the last three months of 2021, an increase of more than £800,000 on the previous three months.

The Conservatives received £3.2 million from individual donors and another £950,000 from companies.

The Labour Party raised just £3.9 million in the same period, a decrease of £125,000 compared with the previous three months.

About half of those donations, some £1.7 million, came from trade unions, primarily Unite, which donated £747,000, and Unison, which donated £332,000.

In December 2021, Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said the union would be cutting its donations to the Labour Party, but did not say how much this reduction would be.

Compared with the last three months of 2020, Unite donated £255,000 less to the Labour Party in the final quarter of 2021.
