She's so thick and inarticulate, she cannot even pronounce the word "anti-semitic", never mind make a half-decent effort at defending the indefensible to "support her side". I suspect that she might be the thickest MP ever to enter parliament. Quite some achievement with people like Bridgen and Francois in the running. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week she was being asked on twitter about an article she wrote defending Ken Livingstone on some issue from years ago, and when being asked to clarify her position her response was - brace yourself - "get your knee off my neck". Which she doubled and tripled down on in the conversation, which is worth a read. How do these people get into these positions of power? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recall, she was shoehorned into Leicester East at the last minute before the general election, after Vaz became, er, unavailable. Seen as reliable voting fodder by the Corbynistas who then controlled the NEC - boosting their faction's numbers in parliament. I'll bet there were some in the constituency who had their heads in their hands at the time, never mind now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He once wouldn't allow a man to discuss a revolutionist approach to something, kept cutting in and in the end cut him off, lost all respect for him after that. Turbo twat.

That's what annoys me most about O'Brien. It's always about winning the argument and looking the opponent look daft, rather than convincing the opponent that your position is correct. It's about being right, rather than being effective, which is even more annoying when you agree with him. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The simple answer is people vote for them. The fact people are idiots and vote based on party politics rather than the individual involved is both a huge issue with our political system but also within the psyche of voters. There's so many idiots across all parties that shouldn't get near Westminster but do so based on representing the right party. In Leicestershire alone we have Webb and Bridgen. Different parties, but both thick as pig shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieG Posted 30 June 2020 Share Posted 30 June 2020 Under Boris's plan Quote Changes, planned for September, include: A wider range of commercial buildings will be allowed to change to residential use without the need for a planning application Builders will not need a normal planning application to demolish and rebuild vacant and redundant residential and commercial buildings, if they are rebuilt as homes Homeowners will be able to build additional space above their properties "via a fast track approval process" and subject to neighbour consultation They'll love the 2nd item in Leicester they already have shown how they loved to demolish well built attractive commercial buildings to put bland get rich quick blocks. I only hope they go for the 1st option more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosbehFox Posted 30 June 2020 Share Posted 30 June 2020 Said it before. Read Isabel Hardman's book 'Why We Get The Wrong Politicians' You'd have to question anyones motions to be a MP - it's said to cost in the region of £100k to have a successful election campaign, the pay is above the national average but below the figures expected of Oxbridge/Russell group graduates. It points out the very muddy waters of lobby groups and how politicians are assigned to minister roles with a lack of expertise. By the time they learn about say housing and understand the challenges, the cabinet is shuffled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadt Posted 30 June 2020 Share Posted 30 June 2020 Some planning reform is definitely needed but developers are the most unscrupulous crooks going. Even with quite stringent regulations they still apply for awful shoebox builds and they sometimes still get through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
