Good Morning, all

Welsh Tory David T.C.* Davies is 100% convinced the Nastiz can win the next General Election. I can sleep with Brigitte Bardot; the probability I will is vanishingly low.

Typical Tory, he rants against the Welsh Labour government for building no new roads in Wales and for trying to enforce a 20mph speed limit replacing the urban default of 30mph.

!

  • No, not ' Top Cat' - T.C. stands for 'Talks Crap.'

This BBC graph of average sea surface temperatures since 1979 should have (but hasn't) spurred our politicians into action to actually do something. Clearly there was a tipping point in May 2023, which has certainly been evident in the UK due to the last 12 months of even more unusual weather.

Where are our leaders when we actually need them? We need a general election, a hung parliament, and some representation in government.

The Fixed Term Parliament Act of 2011 was of course, like much else exported from the Westminster Village, a misnomer.

The problem outlined below (the Tories ruling on stolen time) would disappear if we made a simple reform along US electoral (Presidential & Congressional) lines rather than bleating about 'a Parliamentary System is different.'

Simply fix all dates for future General Elections and stick to them +

Good Morning, all

It's been almost two years since Rishi Sunak became our Second-Past-The-Post Prime Minister and he's still too frit to secure his own mandate for things like his Rwanda Transportation policy by calling a #GeneralElectionNow but don't worry, be happy - today most of us get to vote in local, mayoral and/or PCC elections.

Perhaps public health officials should issue a new triple-3-word slogan to Conservative voters:

STAY AT HOME

DON'T VOTE TORY

PROTECT THE NHS

Good Morning, all

Nick Ferrari cites the European People's Party as his authority for justifying his right-wing views on the Rwanda Transportation policy of the Nastiz.

The EPP is "the largest group in the European Parliament," claims Nick, "and they're not right wing" Ferrari tells a caller.

'Fatso' as one chap calls him, is so ignorant. The EPP is the group the Tories belonged to before they became the Nastiz and joined the far-righters in the EP.

As Fishi Rishi said, it's an historic day. It'll be the subject of essays by future schoolchildren where the Conservative Party removed any doubt that they were xenophobic hate-mongers, trying to appeal for votes to the most bigoted, intolerant and ill-informed members of society.

As disasters go, the Rwanda Bill knows almost no limits. https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/04/23/as-disasters-go-the-rwanda-bill-knows-almost-no-limits/. When all the politics is done, some poor refugees will suffer the most inhumane treatment by this government. It is my hope that lawyers will still be able to find ways to obstruct their evil desires.

I am ashamed of my country & government!
This gov't has no compassion, & is willing to break international law in order to deprive desperate people of their right to asylum. What an absolute disgrace.
I hope (but have no confidence) that Labour will repeal this when we finally get rid of these inhumane Tories later this year.

Over-promoted prefect Prime Minister #Sunak decrees to the legislators of Great Britain that they can't go home today, until they pass his fash deportation bill.

He has no electoral mandate for the Tory #Rwanda bill. So, MPs & Lords together, tell him to go and seek one.

Theresa May tried going into the House of Lords to glower at them from the shadows. Sunak goes for a schoolmaster's detention. Tories think democracy an impediment to their personal authority. Kick em out
