UK General Election 8th June: Shake it all about?

[Junkenstein]

True, but point at the winner in the current party. Association with corona added to the inevitable brexit fuckups means that the likely winner isn't even playing the game right now. Which says hunt. Gove is just too tentacley and the entire cabinet a doing its best to avoid showing competence at any level. Throwing positive press at anyone not tainted costs nothing.

[Cain]

Meanwhile...

[Junkenstein]

Looking at todays outreach to Australia for a super awesome trade deal that will be world beating. I am actually surprised he didn't mention the wonderful niche product, coon cheese.

Probably waiting for raab to reveal he now knows australia is an island too.

[Cain]

The UK has precisely jack-shit that Australia needs. Australia needs China and the USA, in that order.  Just because we kneel to the same Queen doesn't make us subservient to the UK, despite what Raab apparently thinks.

[Cain]

[Junkenstein]

Add that to patels links to the monument crowd and there's quite the network emerging.

If any of these people were remotely competent you could start to worry. Instead we just get to worry about the incompetence instead. 22 days or so with over 1k dead and there's still a narrative of the overall toll being 40k, not the actual 60-70k. And knowing this mob it could easily be over 100.

[Cain]

Well, they're very competent at stoking a culture war. It's about the only things the Tories have going for them right now.

The Reading Park killings + the ridiculous Ash Sarkar conspiracy theories + the shit that just went down with Burnley FC this evening are all perfect fodder for another 5 years of this bullshit, as more and more of the country die off.

[Faust]

The UK has until Tuesday, to request an extension if Boris wants to avoid no deal.
If thats what he wants then hes going to get it. If it is a negotiating tactic to show the EU he is serious thinking that should it be needed the EU can grant an extension at a last minute in december, he has miscalculated:
There are no self ammending treaties (Maastrict for A50), it would have to go to a referendum in Ireland and poland, the fastest we can turn it around is 12 weeks, and I wouldnt bank on people voting in favour an extension.

[Cain]

So, the UK is going to implement mandatory masks in shops.

This is, of course, now another fault line in our ever-expanding culture war, because common sense is for cucks or something, IDK.

[Faust]

Hopefully the reaction should be grudging acceptance. I hadn't seen masks around at all, but when they were brought in as mandatory for buses and trains, it seemed to make it socially acceptable to wear them

The loudest whining cunt voices on the internet tend to be the same pricks who will do what they they're told, no matter what, on account of they're completely fucking spineless. It's the gormless ones I'm more worried about. Well, okay, no worried about exactly. More like eagerly looking forward to seeing their depressed little maskless faces when they kill the fucking arseholes who spawned them.

[The Wizard Joseph]

Aww... That man posted an image of a cut up membership card. That must be how you indicate that you are quite upset in the UK.

You just gotta hit CAPSLOCK and stop repressing. That is how you show folks you are upset.

[Cain]

I give it two days before we get grainy, potato-quality footage of enraged gammons attacking teenage shop assistants before being pulled off them by the police.

[Junkenstein]

Grayling: so incompetent, he's lost a rigged election.

Fun ahoy next Friday.

[Cain]

Naturally the Tory spin campaign is coming now, to find a way to blame Labour for Russia's election interference despite their own financial backers being implicated in the report while Labour...simply used a report which had already leaked and was openly available on the web.
