"No Spin, No Bias, No Censorship. I'm Dan Wootton Tonight.
Fury as the government U-turns on a promised bonfire of EU laws in a blatant betrayal of Brexit."

That's verbatim.

Awful human being and deserves his place in hell.

“There is no good reason why we can’t train up enough HGV drivers, butchers or fruit pickers. Brexit enables us to build a high-skilled, high-wage economy that is less dependent on low-skilled foreign labour.”

How much is she planning to pay HGV drivers, butchers or fruit pickerss in this high-wage ecomony?

Perhaps she's planning to replace herself with someone who has actually got the skills for the job.
 
To be fair conservatives have loads of experience in picking fruits. Just look at the cabinet.

But I thought we weren't allowed to have a high-wage economy any more because it would increase inflation?
 
How will we be able to suppress voter turnout in the future if labor allows more people to vote? :lol:

Also, direct reference to voter ID as being a political strategy for suppressing turnout. These people are fecking turds.

I’m actually more worried that right wing governments and press will recognise that they no longer need service industry staff and having a large population contributing to climate change and living off the state is in direct opposition to their libertarian values.

There is a potential utopia but it won’t work if there is 10+ billion people.

I'm confused; are you saying right wing governments will decide we need to kill all the poor?

Kill seems extreme but history says it’s not impossible.

Making it virtually impossible to have children unless you are of a certain wealth/class seems quite likely though.

Maybe, but I think restricting access to have children at all is a sure-fire way to get a revolution. It's a way more basic need than freedom of speech or political rights.

They don't need to restrict it outright, just develop economic conditions where having a baby is less desirable..

He's a terrible public speaker and that's a real nonsense stream of consciousness.
 
Jacob Rees-Mogg has suggested the Conservatives introduced voter ID to boost their election chances, but it came "back to bite them".

The former minister said it had "made it hard for our own voters" to take part in England's local elections.

The polls on 4 May were the first in Britain where people had to show photo ID, such as a passport or driving licence, to vote.

Mr Rees-Mogg said the change had "upset a system that worked perfectly well."

The government says the new voter ID rules are necessary to tackle voter fraud, and boost public confidence in elections.
But Mr Rees-Mogg told the BBC there was no evidence that the issue of voter fraud was a "serious problem" - something the government's opponents have long argued

I am shocked to find this out, I always assumed the rules came in because of "democracy" and "fairness" or some shit like that...

By the end of the century most OECD countries will see their populations reduce their population. Some of them even more than half. Even China will see its population being halved. So this policies will not be needed in the west

Nah, it's the far left (Starmer, Biden, etc) that's drifting too far from the centre. The centre-right (current Tories, current GOP, etc) are totally where they've always been.

How they can be so shemeless confessing that they are not interested in democracy, everybody voting but who is voting for them? I understand that this is what they want. But just saying it like without filters

They're busy cultivating an us against them mentality, and have been for years. I'd imagine the people that continue to vote for them won't bat an eyelid at them saying any shite because they just want what they want and feck anyone else who doesn't agree or is disadvantaged.
