The Politics Thread

As someone called it, the ‘I don’t CareBear’!

 

Too late,unfortunately,for Hillary now. But you can bet Putin was wiping the sweat off his brow until he found out he had finally won the election for himself and Trump!

 

No reason for the Director of regulation for the Oil and Gas Authority to have a feckin' clue about Geology when making policy about Fracking!! Absolutely not a job requirement in any shape or form, no Siree Bob!!
God save us from experts, that's what I say

 

Likely to be a management accountant SotM. I work in the the mining industry a god forbid letting a geologist figure out where the best ore is or a geotechnical engineer chose the best site for a tailings dam. You might have to spend more money in compensating locals.
Remember, providing the budget looks good, everything else will be fine.....

 

Very likely, DD!
If you like Train Wreck interviews, then this one is an early Xmas present

 

Here's a few highlights from the batshit insane ramblings of Kate Hoey and Suzanne Evans on LBC last night


Also a good excuse to share this...

Shame Shakespear is not still around, all this Brexit sh!te is calling out for a remake of 'Much ado about Nothing'.

 

Doesn't appear to give a **** about The Good Friday Agreement, is from Northern Ireland, questions the patriotism of others. Hmm...

 

I ask myself the question, 'if we had not joined the EEC in 71, would we now be a third world country?'. I always come up with the same answer, no way. So in reality, however we leave the EU we are not going to screw ourselves unless we agree to pay them significant amounts of money on an ongoing basis.

 

I get the feeling somebody at the Wail has shares in M&S, because why else give people reason to buy £79 on an anorak knowing full well it'll piss off Dacre's minions?

First the BBC have Arron Banks appear on the Sunday Politics, now we have Andrew Neil posting (since deleted) tweets about Carole Cadwalladr that sound remarkably similar to the stuff Banks has been posting about her for months

...and don't get me started about his incorrect use of an apostrophe!

 

He's a Tory ****bag that lives in Trump Tower. Who's surprised?

 

The BBC's response is telling: he deleted it, so there's no need to complain

I'd say the fact he had something to delete in the first place is a pretty bloody valid reason to complain, regardless of whether he deleted it or not

 

As is regularly the case - and certainly in the two recent instances around this matter and the Banks appearance on Marr - the BBC surrender any traits of impartiality. They almost seem to glory in being seen to be protective of their Government/ Far Right Paymasters.

Any half decent broadcaster would be forcing their extremely well paid employee to apologise for a Tweet comment that would almost reasonably lead to his immediate suspension and probable dismissal. Unfortunately, the Beeb are many miles away from being half decent.......

"We received complaints from viewers who felt the interview with Arron Banks on this edition was too challenging and that this suggested a bias against him."

 

More butchery in usa this time in ohio.But as the dear old nra says,guns don't kill people!Wonder why?

 

The BBC is almost becoming an irrelevance as a broadcaster. If it wasn’t for Strictly and first dabs at all major non-sporting events I doubt that they would have any significant ratings at all. Well, apart from the 2nd Round of the FA Cup.......

 

This is a feature, not a bug.

 

Another candidate for the Trump White House book of International Ignorance.....

 

A rule for one and a rule for another...... more damning evidence of BBC editorial bias....
