I think this is called Fraud. Nothing Nigel isn't used to. Not sure how I can have any sympathy for people who fall for his crap.
Anyone reading the last three or so pages of this thread must be at or close to the abject disillusionment stage.
I think an entire generation have tbh.
Replace it with a swastica or an IRA pin?
I was commenting on the fact we have become apathetic to such unconcionable behavior and not assuming the OP was being entirely serious.
And on the other side.
Mr Johnson, what are your views on Brexit?
"Whatever gets me the most money, power and kudos from other middle aged, white public schoolboys and Bullingdon Dining Club members."
Wow, did he really say that? Shocking.
It's funny because I always thought people veered more to the right as they got older and more comfortable in life. I guess that's why you lost your job at The Daily Mail though, right? Still trying to figure out which newspaper you work for...Mr Morgan......(?)

Such as ? I constantly hear about tory moderates all the time(The guardian loves talking about this) but whenever certain moderate names get pulled up, a quick look into their history shows they have been far from moderate even in the conservative sense. To name just a few.
Amber Rudd - The Windrush scandal and ended up backing a no deal brexit deal
Theresa May - Considered a moderate during the Cameron years and looked where she ended up.
George Osborne - One half of the supposed liberal tory government imposed austerity which ended up giving Leave the win in the referendum.
Philip Lee - Former Tory who left the party to join the lib dem due to the tory policy on Brexit. Supports immigrating being HIV tested before coming into the country.
The rhetoric has of course gone further to the right but overall the policy is very similar to the ''moderate'' days of Cameron(Its gone from standard Thatcherism to Thatcherism mixed with nationalism on steroids). These tory moderates are hardly Angela Merkel.

I veered to the right in my mid to late 20s, when I'd moved to London and started paying taxes. I'm not a greedy, selfish fecker though so I veered back left.
I've actually written a piece for the Express which is in some ways worse than the DM.
Another proud institution becoming a joke in the space of a couple years:
I do wonder if the people working at the bbc are even aware they are presiding over the downfall of what used to be a national treasure?

I was thinking the same.
The only real change seems to be the dropping of the pretence that they are actually nice people.
For some reason I can't remember anything about the Daily Express except the masthead. Was it a Tory redtop?
It's like a pound shop version of the DM- all immigrants, Diana and property prices.
I wrote a tax planning feature for their money section years back.
I used to like reading Today when I was a labourer back in the 80s. It had colour pics in it. Eddy Shah was the owner, I think.
God, I remember it launching, but it was short lived. Feck knows how the Express and Star survive in the internet age. And the Sport, given porn is not exactly hard to find.
I know what you mean. Clearly Ken Clarke, Hammond and Gauke, for example, will no doubt have voted for bad stuff if they followed the whip over the years, as was the party norm.
No-one ever called May a moderate. The above are clearly less odious than Johnson, Raab, IDS, Patel etc...who all voted for the bad stuff with vindictive gusto.
Wow Eddy Shah... that fecker caused some shit in the 80s in Warrington I think, because of how he treated his workers.
Ah fair enough. I just going off her starting off pro remain but yeah with regards to immigration she was on the more extreme end.
It’s unfair to say LibDems are basically Tory-lite though... ‘cos it’s mean and makes them feel bad.
They just want to vote for the same Tory MPs and wholesale Tory policies of 2015, whilst still getting the back slapping, head patting reassurance of pretending to be progressive. What’s so wrong with that!?
(*yes it’s okay to vote tactically, hush)

Good to see the stupidity that is costing all of us costing the stupid themselves even more.
Hope Farage manages to fleece them again.
He was also criticising the Tories and Labours spending plans yesterday whilst cautioning fiscal responsibility....
Interesting bio
Brexit Party PPC for Crawley. Retired pilot, Scientologist, live in Horsham and love Brexit.
It’s quite hard to have sympathy.
I once went to meet a mate in Horsham but got the train to Hersham.
Is there just no standards to campaigning any more? This is Trump level, just missing out on a recession and 0.1% in the last 6 months is "growing strongly" according to Hancock.
Cant watch the video at the moment but was he even challenged? Seems very few political reporters even challenge politicians on the nonsense they spout these days.

It's Tory HQ filmed so no. I doubt you'll hear anything on the news of this gaffe though.
Or this either (also a Lib dem candidate stepping down hidden in there too)
Agreed , the electorate are really spoilt for choice. Waiting for the fun and games when the manifestos come out, mental gymnastics will reign supreme.
Who gave Diane Abbot admin rights?
*thought I'd go with a different angle rather than the Russia open goal*
Was probably the mail ringing up voice boxes.
Brilliant - Read the last 24 hours of his feed, he's fuming. Bet he isn't alone either. Love it!
Labour and Lib dems not being able to sort themselves out is going to result in Tory running away with it when half of the country doesn’t want this outcome. Grim.
To be honest I'm not sure how much sorting is to be done between a socialist (In the positive european sense) party where the only unanswered question is brexit and a neo liberal party who's only answered question is brexit.
If Bojomopingthefloorwithoutachievinganything gets as many seats as those two combined Britain just has to face the fact that it deserves Bojomopingthefloorwithoutachievinganything.
