Current Affairs Liz Truss

[BigMick]

This is a painful PMQ.

It truly was.

The Tories serving up a series of friendly half-volleys for her suggests she'll survive another week.

 

[JoeLovell]

I had to do the same for my dad.

Your words should be read at the PMQ. Let the bustards know that the contempt they showed for us is unforgivable.

I’m sorry for your loss. Although nothing can ever reverse the pain of having to watch people we love going through that, I will take some comfort in hopefully seeing the lot of them thrown out at the next election. Boris Johnson might have been PM at the time, but they all backed him when he got caught breaking the rules, to try and save their own skins and they’re all just as guilty in my eyes.

and quite frankly libellous man !

lol

A poem I saw on another forum:

There once was a PM called Truss,
Whose policies caused quite a fuss.
But instead of departing,
She called Mr Kwarteng
And pushed the bloke under a bus.

Had the EU remained solely trade Brexit would never have happened. The political element is what scared the UK and likely future countries off and I dont blame em.

To suggest only those who wanted oot were far right bigots and fascists is incorrect and quite frankly libellous man !

Can you name any of these countries that don't want to join the EU as a result of its social policies?

It wasn't only bigots, but it was all bigots.

There were also rich people wanting to strip their employees rights and their duped employees.

Thanks. I take solace that he never got to see the fsw in charge ... it would have killed him!

I dont disagree that many on the far right + many rich business owners voted Brexit for their own unscrupulous purposes however to suggest the majority of the country who voted in a democratic election are bigots/fascists is incredibly libellous.

well, if you ignore the fact you can't libel a group of people, unless the group is so small an individual could reasonably be identified.

How is that libelous?

Let's give an example my unsure friend.

"All Liverpool supporters stink of urine" is not a libelous statement as nobody could reasonably prove material damage

Likewise "All farmers are sheep molesters"

However if I was to say "All strikers at Liverpool football club use performance enhancing drugs" and I couldn't back it up with any evidence, then anybody employed as a striker by that club could sue me for reputational damage.

 

[Lobster Johnson]

@ForeverBlue92

Still unsure?

Everybody who voted to leave the EU is a bigot and probably can't spell their own name.

Off you go, find somebody who can prove material or reputational damage from that statement, get yourself a willing lawyer and sue me.

Many Labour voters voted Brext - fact - Labour sitting on the fence over Brexit gave Boris an easy election victory - Labour have now learnt their lesson & are not going to reverse a democratic vote ....only the Lib Dems will do that .....
Ironically The nutcase Truss was a Lib Dems plus an avid remainer.,.....in fact she was in Cameron & Osbourne's remain campaign......

Shouldn't the last few posts be in the "EU in or out" thread?
