jack D and coke Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 7 hours ago, Cade said: Claire Fox. Ex-member of the Revolutionary Communist Party, publisher of the Living Marxism magazine, which was shut down after accusing ITN of faking evidence of the Bosnian Genocide. She supported the Provisional IRA. Now runs Spiked Online, an internet magazine owned by the Kochs and which runs a far-right neo-liberal message. She supported Gary Glitter's right to download child porn and believes anybody should be able to do anything they want online. She denies climate change. She served in the EU as a Brexit party MEP. Boris just gave her a life peerage. It’s almost like they do this stuff to wind people up His brother too ffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maroonlegions Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) A Tory advisor pocketed millions of pounds in profit after the GOVERNMENT handed him a £252 MILLION contract to supply PPE despite HIS firm only being a YEAR old , and having NO HISTORY in MEDICAL EQUIPMENT , and the fact they WASTED over £150 MILLION buying the WRONG fecking masks. Just let that sink in the next time you hear anyone taking the blame away from this corporate "mates" elect party. Or say nurses dont need or desrve a fecking shitey pittence of a pay rise.

Cade Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 From John Bercow's twitter: I hope the Prime Minister is enjoying a well deserved rest so don’t spoil it by telling him what’s happened this week: 1. The govt launched a “Fix your bike” voucher website 2. It broke in less than an hour 3. The govt said we should all lose weight 4. The govt is still issuing vouchers to help us buy burgers 5. It was revealed the govt spent £400m buying a bankrupt satellite company, OneWeb, to replace the Euro GPS system we lose due to Brexit 6. Months before, a study by MIT found that OneWeb’s tech is 6x less efficient than the EU solution: the worst of the technologies studied 7. In June the govt merged the Dept for International Development into the Foreign Office, and said the move "guaranteed there would be no cuts in International Aid" 8. This week the gov cut International Aid by £2.9bn 9. And the govt quietly granted permission for your health records to be given to Palantir, a controversial data-mining company said to have worked with Cambridge Analytica on Brexit 10. It did both these things the day parliament broke up, so there couldn’t be any questions 11. But in answer to questions about the Russia Report, the gov’s suggested solution is to (I'm not making this up) to ask Russia to tell us who their spies are 12. Ex-Russian intelligence staff say 85% of their work is not spying, but “political funding and misinformation" 13. Which brings us to: Funding and Misinformation news 14. Since 2012, the Tory party has had almost £3m in donations from members of Putin’s cabinets 15. 14 current govt ministers have received donations from individuals or companies connected to the Russian leadership 16. Priti Patel said the Russia Report could be ignored because it was now 9 months old and “out of date” 17. The govt delayed the release of the report for 9 months, and the reasons given were described as “simply not true” (aka "misinformation") by the Intelligence Committee 18. Now Covid news, and Matt Hancock boasted he had met the targets on his “Six tests” on Covid 19 19. Full Fact found 4 of the 6 targets were missed, one target couldn’t be met because it had never been defined, and 1 “relied on a definition [that] does not reflect practice” 20. The cross-party Media & Culture Committee found that the gov’s support for arts was “vague and slow-coming” and “jeopardised UK culture” 21. The cross-party Public Accounts Committee found there was an “astonishing failure to plan for the economic impact” of Covid 19 22. It also said the policy of discharging patients into care homes was a “reckless and appalling policy error” 23. It called the govt “slow, inconsistent [and] negligent” 24. The chair of the Committee said “A competent government does not run a country on the hoof” 25. More on-the-hoof news: the gov quarantined tourists returning from Spain because Spain was a danger 26. The day before, Spain had 2 Covid deaths. Britain had 114 27. The transport secretary was on holiday in Spain, so was effectively trapped by his own dept’s decision 28. Which brings us to Brexit, and a report from London School of Economics showed a WTO Brexit will permanently shrink 16 out of the UK's 24 industry sectors by up to 15% each. Permanently. 29. A Tory MP tweeted “👍🏼WTO here we come!” 30. Another pro-Brexit Tory MP with a grasp of what's to come tweeted “my strong advice is: take the opportunity to live abroad” 31. Dominic Cummings tweeted that leaving the EU "could be an error” 32. And now PPE contracts, so prepare to begin eternal screaming: 33. £252m to Ayanda Capital, registered in Mauritius for tax purposes. PPE not delivered 34. £186m to Uniserve. PPE not delivered 35. £116m to P14 Medical Supplies, with assets of just £145. PPE not delivered 36. £108m to PestFix, with just 16 employees. PPE not delivered 37. £107m to Clandeboye Agencies, a sweet wholesaler. Yes, a sweet wholesaler. PPE not delivered. 38. £40m to Medicine Box Ltd, with assets of just £6000. PPE not delivered. 39. £48m to Initia Ventures Ltd, which registered itself as “dormant” in March. PPE not delivered. 40. £28m to Monarch Acoustics, which makes shop furniture. PPE not delivered 41. £25m to Luxe Lifestyle, which has no employees, no assets, and no turnover. PPE not delivered 42. £18m to Aventis Solutions, which has total assets of £332. Not a typo, £332. PPE not delivered £10m to Medco Solutions, incorporated just 3 days after lockdown, with share capital of (not a typo) £2. PPE not delivered 44. In all, approx £1bn to inexplicable suppliers for PPE that hasn’t been delivered 45. The gov still polls well for economic competence. Go figure 46. Meanwhile a Nuffield Health study found after 10 years of "chronic underinvestment", UK is at the bottom of the league table for health resources; and diagnostics and surgery by the NHS will take 4 years to return to pre-Covid levels. But £1bn for non-existent PPE 47. The gov’s “world beating” test-and-trace programme was described as “scandalous” by the British Medical Journal, and found to miss its 80% target in every Covid hotspot announced this week 48. And finally, Boris Johnson refused a public enquiry into gov handling of Covid 19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maroonlegions Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 The term Tories originated in the mid 16th century in Ireland , it deprived from the Gaelic word, "toraidhe", which means plunderer , robber,thief, barbarian and yobbo.. Now translate the above to the last ten years of TORY austerity cuts on welfare, public spending, schools, housing and the NHS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just a Tory problem (unless of course we find out that Cummings had anything to do with the algorithm). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, as much as the Scottish government fecked it up (& they did), they listened and then did something about it. Yes its a U-turn but the point is, every tory in the land were screaming that Sturgeon had to fire Swinney or at least encourage him to resign. This was a week before the English schools got their results! The English seen what was coming down the tracks and just sat there watching the train crash into the station! Performed the same U-turn following the roasting they received and although the U-turn was correct, the double standards from the tories in regard to calling for the education secretaries head (or lack of it) is astounding! In fact, its not astounding at all. Its what we come to expect from Boris, Ruth, Cummings et-al.

Cade Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Liz Truss' meetings with the "Institute for Economic Affairs" (a rightwing think tank dead set on a hard brexit) have been removed from the transparency register after Truss re-classified them as "private personal discussions" instead of political meetings subject to being published. Are we really to believe that meetings between a cabinet minister and a political think-tank are not political in nature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird, seems like there is some sort of body that's supposed to oversee this stuff, you know, either prevent things like "mutant algorithms" from coming into effect or mitigating their effect if they do—and apologising for the **** up. 41 minutes ago, The Mighty Thor said: The latest bullshit du jour from the government that can't stop lying.

These are the people who cannot and will not take responsibility for anything. Its always someone else's fault. The reality, of course, is everything going to rat shit is attributable to a weak government creating policy on the hoof, focus grouping the shit out of it then changing it on a whim blaming 'mutant algorithms' or other such fantastical nonsense.

maroonlegions Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Does this paper really have a big Tory supporting readership.

Cade Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Govt plans to scrap the Electoral Commission. Who needs independent oversight of the democratic process anyway? Who needs Russia interference dossiers? Campaign spending rules? Pah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
