carefully edited to save gobshits blushes. like dugdale she aint copping to well with being the main opposition. defending the torys in Scotland? :Hilarious:. not that the BBC ever tell it like it is.
May – right wing nazi Leadsom – offshore banking, inheritance tax dodger. As tory as they come. Gove – homophobe and pro capital punishment Crabb – homophobe and detested by 99.9% of the education system Fox – anti abortion, pro Iraq, supporter of Israel not much to choose from is there
Democracy needs to change. General public need to sit in office, selected on a rota basis. Do X amount of years and move on to the next group selected at random. Sounds like it wouldn't work, but some say it would. This idea is more relevant now that the democratic vote for leaving the EU is being questioned and challenged.
I dont think Leadsom is up to it, watched her on one of the debates on TV and she seemed lost if not repeating the same punchlines over and over. Just waffle. May, reminds me a bit of Thatcher (not good lol), but she is the most professional of the lot and could deal with Brussels. Also she seems to have less 'old boys club' allegiance, that has to be good. It has to be her.
listening to that again i noticed proff Curtice (originator of the two votes wasted) attempting to rewrite history re polling. dear dear dear.
Michael Gove. At the end of the pre-selection there will only be May and Gove standing. I don't think the Conservative party members will go for someone who didn't campaign for Brexit. He says that he could not support Johnson when he realised that Boris was not the man for the job as PM,(he was back tracking on the Leave pledges): if Gove was genuinely thinking of the country then it was the right decision. There was no reason why Boris coudn't still have thrown his hat in the ring,unless he realised himself that without Gove he would not get enough backing? The MP's will go for May,but the members will choose Gove. That's why Heseltine etc are bitching,May's just Cameron in a dress.
Tarzan is bitching because she's a little bitch. Michael Ray Dibdin Heseltine ... anagrams include: He is the incredibly mad alien. Incredibly, I am the headlines. Randy imbecile hit headlines. These are not coincidences.
any truth in it? for those that may not know, Michael Gove is not only a native Aberdonian but cut his teeth as a journalist at the P&J. During a long running dispute in 1989 I lived almost across the road from their Lang Stracht offices, where a youthful Gove was a regular on the picket line in a struggle for trade union recognition at the paper. I was involved in fundraisers for the strikers and often stood with the pickets, including the skinny wee bespectacled lad then barely in his 20s (as I was – and skinny and bespectacled too). Chatty, witty and very, very bright I admit I was rather impressed by the young Gove. This guy has the makings of an MP, I thought – Labour, naturally. Then, one day, I was there when the pickets began discussing the then burning issue of the Poll Tax. I was completely taken aback by his position – essentially that it didn’t go far enough. Soon we were embroiled in a heated debate. His arguments were as disingenuous and intellectually contorted as you might expect – he professed himself a libertarian as I recall, and liked the idea of flat rate general taxation too – but again I have to confess to being impressed by his self-confidence and apparent fearlessness in advancing such a contrary view to a bunch of left-leaning strikers and sundry supporters (some very left-leaning indeed). I forgot all about him until I stumbled across his pawky gawky face on TV one night in 2003-4, vehemently defending the UK/US invasion of Iraq while still managing to score points and cast doubt on the integrity of Blair and Campbell and their manipulation of intelligence. Shit, I thought, he’s going to become a big deal in the Tory ranks. Subsequently discovering he was thick with Murdoch only confirmed this; Gove was ambituious and calculating enough to all the way. I don’t know if he’ll outwit Theresa May and win the Premiership but don’t bet against it. If he does win, Nicola should ready herself for an exhausting intellectual match because Gove will fight harder, longer and far more deviously to thwart Scotland’s hopes of independence. He’s a sleekit, arrogant, dishonest little swine but utterly ruthless – and smart as they come. (By coincidence I also knew Liam Fox very slightly at school in East Kilbride. However (1) he hasn’t a hope in hell of winning, and (2) Liam really, really doesn’t live up to his name.)
