Current Affairs The Conservative Party

Corbyn would be a philosophy lecturer in a failing polytechnic, Abbott would be a Dinner lady and McDonnell would be swinging from a lamppost. Because the entire political spectrum is crap.

They're all now universities.
Dinner persons.
Tired and emotional.

Funny seeing all my county's Tory MPs now clamouring to "fight for fair funding" for the (Tory) County Council, which is on the verge of going bust, having all voted consistently to reduce central funding for local government. Carbon thieves the lot of them.

Pete and Joey should avoid page 37 of the latest Private Eye (issue 1479, the one with Putin on the front). Marcus Fysh MP may be a name people will be hearing a good deal more of in future.....

I sometimes wonder if the Tory-voting blues on here feel a bit left out when they see this thread title.

Should be ashamed of themselves.

If you want hypocrisy, find a Tory politician. For example :

Scum.

Can't make out if it's cold face mutual benefit or appeasement again from the Tories regarding Orban, maybe be both. However, it's knocked the allegations of anti-Semitism in Labour right on the head, because actions speak louder than the words!

The con's seem to be forming brexit allies like they watched the Dirty Dozen instead of attending serious economic briefings.

A good day to bury bad news:

Members of the Windrush generation will be refused British citizenship, the government has announced.

In a statement issued late on Friday afternoon, the Home Secretary said the Windrush taskforce would begin the process of refusing cases which had been found not to be eligible for documentation or citizenship through the scheme.

Sajid Javid said a number of Windrush citizens would not qualify for citizenship because they failed to meet the “necessary good character requirement” due to committing criminal offences.

He said refusals would also be issued to those who had applied for documentation from abroad but been found to be ineligible as they were not able to provide sufficient evidence that they were settled in the UK before 1 January 1973.

Refusal decisions were only taken after “substantial assurance” had taken place and officials applied a “generous interpretation of the evidence required to prove an individual’s status”, according to the Home Secretary.

He said individuals could request a free review of the decision if they disagree.

In the update to the Home Affairs Select Committee, Mr Javid also announced that 2,121 people had successfully applied to become British nationals since the Windrush Scheme was established at the end of May, with 2,398 also able to secure documentation confirming their right to be in the UK.

He said: “The Windrush generation have helped build this country as they themselves have built a life here. I am appalled by what I am appalled by what some people have been through but am delighted that our taskforce is helping so many people to establish their right to be here and gain British citizenship.

“We are doing all we can to gather the information needed to enable applications to be processed successfully and quickly. We are looking for reasons to grant rather than refuse but we need to ensure that only those who should be benefiting from this Scheme are benefiting.

“All refusals have followed careful and deliberate consideration. No decision has been taken lightly and applicants will be able to have the refusal reviewed free of charge if they disagree.”

Some of those tories would make you vomit. I just watched that sanctimonious prick Ian Duncan Smith and thought "is there a worse example of a patronising, arrogant tory?" I answered my own question, Jacob Rees Mogg, who in addition to the "qualities" exhibited by Smith sounds like a tory straight from central casting

I think theyre all arrogant patronising knobs, no matter what party theyre in

[Blues Harp]

Marcus Fysh....unreconstructed scummy Tory .....MP for Yeovil who is a barmy brexiteer. One who belongs in the same bin as Gove, Rees Mogg, Boris, etc.. Don't all Tories on here know that? Keep up lads
