Topic: UK General Election - CLACTON

[TSC]

Cleverley's defence of conscription was interesting this morning. It would allow young people to meet other young people from different backgrounds.

Good point.  It’ll be just like the good old ‘party time in the trenches’ days of WW1.

[So… Howard Philips]

And they can have a footie match against the lads from Irkutsk, just be before the sirens go off.

A mate of mine went to the Collegiate, a grammar school in Liverpool, which had an Officer Training  Corps, the main attraction was you got to shoot Tommy Guns.

At the same time I went to a Catholic grammar school which didn’t have the Tommy Gun incentive, probably because the ruling class thought we’d be shipping them over to Ireland for the IRA.

My grandad went to Collegiate ….


Ended up in India during  the war. Was very proud to not be able to hit a barn door with his pistol

Tory defence minister when asked last week about national service....

5% of 18 year olds Woukd do the military bit.  That’s 30,000 a year.  The army only has 75000 peopel in it.

Proper gammon bait this policy

Is it true what they say about girls that went to Catholic schools?

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Said on the BBC today that the country won't be returning to austerity and Labour will look to make an immediate cash injection into frontline services as a stop gap while they look to grow the economy.

Seems a fairly decent common sense approach to me, should appeal to most people.

Well fuckiing duh.

[So… Howard Philips]

Is it true what they say about girls that went to Catholic schools?

Yes. They were professional virgins.

Unlike the girls who went to the Proddy schools who weren’t burdened with the guilt of the confessional.

It's like the Rwanda gimmick. It doesn't touch the sides anyway with number of people who'd actually go. It's clickbait for the Daily Mail and GB News.

[WhereAngelsPlay]

c*nts who have done nothing for our youth in decades, now want to force people to work for the country.


FUCK OFF, Jackboot wannabee c*nts.

[Red Beret]

Got a friend who went to Holly Lodge. Good Catholic girl and former sex worker. Dunno what all the fuss is about myself.

With a name like Holly Lodge it couldn’t be a Catholic girls school.

If she’d gone to Our Lady of the Bleeding Heart or St Margaret Torn Asunder by Wild Beasts I’d believe you.

[Yorkykopite]

If I don't go with Galloway, I won't give my vote to a genocide fetish maniac.

That's a tautology, but I guess it's true.

[TepidT2O]

That's a tautology, but I guess it's true.

how true

[killer-heels]

She was on Kuenssberg earlier and put Laura in her box.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-69063581

Kurnssberg illustrated in that interview what a mess political journalism is in. She pressed Reeves on tax commitments and then she read a text from someone who said they would exchange tax rises for better public services, which led her to question Reeves and ask whats wrong with tax rises?

Its basically nothing about drawing out anything but a gotcha moment to get Reeves to say something positive about a tax rise. Probably was told by Conservative HQ to go on that line.

[Redbonnie]

That’s what she gets for going to a Protestant school then, should have gone to Broughton Hall with the other Catholic girls.

Cleverley's defence of conscription was interesting this morning. It would allow young people to meet other young people from different backgrounds.

"Hey James, I've got a better way of achieving that. Abolish private education."

What he really means of course is that conscription will allow public school boys in officers' uniforms to boss around around working-class kids in the uniforms of privates.

The guy who did the most to mix people from different backgrounds in the British Forces in WW2 was adamantly in favour of abolishing private schools.

FUCK OFF, Jackboot wannabee c*nts.

The voluntary but not voluntary community service thing is a joke. Forced to work with other people who you choose not to for causes you may not give a shit about. Cant get a house in the community but have to help them out? No thanks.

[oldfordie]

This is depressing. maybe typical of the life long Tory supporter. she thinks she's clued up but she is totally oblivious to just how much damage the Torys have done to her families life +future, totally oblivious to the damage they have done to the NHS. doctors and care, our schools. all our services. public debt nearly tripled. Tory sleaze and corruption. economy stagnated resulting in low growth.  country torn apart by division.

True, but I hardly think Adolf should be the poster boy for genuinely comprehensive state education.

They’ll be pleased with national service I suspect. They’ll be even more thrilled when they roll out the death penalty swiftly followed by open sewers, polio and workhouses for primary school children. It was f*cking great in the 19th century.

So the only reason the interviewee could provide for voting Tory was because of the way ‘Boris done Covid’.

Just some random c*nt in Canvey Island. That place is a no go shit hole for anyone sensible just like the rest of that region. It needs wiping off the map.

It's hard to understand how some can be so ignorant. am not saying she should be able to remember the long list of bad things this Tory government have done over the last 14yrs. she she should have been influenced by it over the years though. it should have influenced her opinion but she seems totally oblivious to it all, you get the impression they get their opinions from snippets of conversation with like minded ignorant Torys and hardly follow politics.

Because Corbo would have done Covid worse.

I won't even bother bringing up all the facts. the basics, the Torys ran down PPE emergency stock to fight a pandemic years before Corbyn became leader. we all know what happened because of it, Panic buying over priced useless crap we tossed in the bin. corruption.

[TepidT2O]

Hang on, he’s gone fucking further

He’s considering banning people who don’t complete national service firm public sector jobs.









https://x.com/alexwickham/status/1794837181657493854?s=61&t=IBM61bzNciP9yNB3C-HiEg

Of the bitter fucking irony  of that

[TepidT2O]

OMFG ..it gets better

Tories now saying that teenagers who agree to do a year of military service could get 'fast tracked interviews for grad schemes in private and public sectors' afterwards.

Sunak: "We want to make sure Britain's future generations can get the most out of national service."

The man is off his fucking tits.

[andy07]

Tories looking at under 25% now maybe 22% or lower.  A real shoot yourself in the foot strategy.  Hopefully more to follow.

[PaulF]

Has anyone told him that letters to 1922 won't get him out of it?

[Lisan Al Gaib]

OMFG ..it gets better

The man is off his fucking tits.

On top of this leaked documents have shown anyone who refuses will be jailed. It's really fucking insane.

[PaulF]

We don't have enough jails or barracks.
Normally they leak stuff like this and drop it if the feedback isn't favourable. They can't do this now.

Of the bitter fucking irony  of that

I often wonder if I would encourage my kids to join the public sector, and honestly after the last 14 years I think being banned from public sector jobs would be doing them a favour.

There was a large Army barracks about a mile from me which was closed down and is now a housing estate.

So the answer is - where we will the press ganged sleep?

Same, there was a barracks behind the houses opposite my mum and dads, lands been sold now and they are going to build 1600 flats there.

I think very few people follow politics

Yet many of those people have strong opinions on politics.
I doubt if they look at it that way either. most are given opinions so they think they are clued up rather than forming their opinions based on reliable information and scrutiny.
