fecking hell, that's embarrassing. Ronaldo would've thrown him into a pond.
What a tosspotWhat else is there left to say about these absolute cnuts?l.

For the Israeli's that's enough violence to launch a military campaign, bombing and killing people but that's ok innit fecking cnut
Getting booted out of the Labour Party is probably the best thing that’s happened to him.
Bumped into him at the Miner's Gala after the speeches were done. Loads of folks were asking for photos with him, and with Zarah Sultana who gave one of the speeches.
Just look at him practicing his hand grabbing technique. Is there no end to his violence!
Spineless.
These lot are running amok.
Portugal is a pretty young democracy and we feck up loads of times, but following the news in this thread, all the corruption from top to bottom in government, there's no way such a government would still be standing and that party would have absolutely no chance in the next elections. Are the british just numb to all of this?
He’s a pathetic little creature isn’t he. Devoid of responsibility in the biggest job in the country.
That guy is thick as mince so it wouldn't surprise me if he didn't even realise he shouldn't be doing that. Being an idiot isn't a valid excuse for a public representative though.
Just another vile Tory MP.
Tosser.
The mere presence of that person in the House of Commons as am MP feels like satire in itself.
I don't know if numb is the right word but most British people accept far too much shit from the people in charge and don't really believe in change. I could never imagine them kicking off the way they have in France.
There isn’t really much that can be done. Maybe the French option of rioting, but even then, it would have to be an incredible riot to get a majority government to relinquish control. If they used a PR system and were being propped up, I’m sure it would have long collapsed. Bar some major changes I don’t really think they have any chance in the next election anyway.
The entire establishment is rotten and they're all on the take.
The best thing some of them have done is somehow convince some thick elements of the population that they are not the establishment.
Try Googling Poll Tax Riots
We're a nation of serfs.
What exactly is there to do? Talking realistically here, rather than hanging them all at the gallows, which I would also be in favour of.
The French are often cited as a good example on here but unless I'm mistaken....the retirement age has still been raised to 64? And Macron is still in power? What exactly did those protests achieve in the grand scheme of things?
I do think that the Brits accept things far more than they should but I'm not sure that governments would be falling across Europe with as big a majority as this current government have.
I'm hopeful that they'll be out of power for a long long time after this.
Just a shame that a lot fo them will end up in cushy consulting jobs rather than hauled in front of a court as they should.
I thought it was shopkeepers

A distant third when it comes to reasons why poll tax was abandoned
Firstly the Tories knew with absolute certainty that they would lose the next election if they kept it, and secondly so many people simply wouldn't pay that local government was going to default, in effect become bankrupt. I'm not actually sure whether the riots, such as they were, didn't actually help the tories electorally, they may have.
On a personal level my finances improved hugely when poll tax was scrapped, I went from just about getting by to having cash left over.

Tesco and the like put an end to that short sighted fallacy.
Yeah but the French probably don't know that
How do cretins like Lee Anderson get public office? He’s such a rancid cnut.

Yeah pretty much, I was trying to word it in the politest way possible. A nation of ***** happy to let a small handful of posh people run everything.
Also indicative of how broken british politics is that 5 years ago he was a spad for a Labour MP and a local Labour councillor.
The entire political structure from top to bottom is infested with utter chancers who believe in nothing but their own enrichment.
Not serfs, not citizens, but officially 'subjects'... of the prevailing monarch.
I know his party is stuffed to the rafters with cnuts, but he comes across as possibly the biggest of them all as in he seems like he is insufferably obnoxious in his private life too.
This (the Johnsons and Trumps and Moggs/Farages of the world). Many more of that variety. Carefully planned caricatures, PR focus group personality cutouts, Machieavellian, which Punch and Judy like, then plays through the organs of media as "anti-establishment". The anti-establishment figures tend not to be cited in the media at all, imprisoned, or otherwise targetted (not for wrong-doing, but for general dissident writings). Now it's algorithmic downplaying of this or that person's content and amplification of someone else's. Shepherding into siloes and so on (just establishment led ideological echo-chambers for the most part). That's what Trump is. It's what DeSantis is and it's what the Tory party, and the Labour party, mostly, has/have always been (after a specific cut-off date in socio-political history). Ballot, which is establishment, is dead, and so those who are on it frame themselves as anti-establishment ballot choices. The last punch-judy act of a dying system.
Our version of MTG. Our politics is in the gutter.
MET giving a good account of itself. Politicians not happy that people are actually using their right to protest, now trying to triangulate the problem between police-force, public law, and various public ideological groupings prone to attacking this or tha institution.
