It is funny I watch that and absolutely lap it up, but the equivalent pro-tory or anti-labour video I will instantly dismiss as bollocks. I have been aware of Led by Donkeys for a while and they seem to do their research and I've never found any inaccuracies in their stuff, but there is an obvious bias. 

 

Whereas this video I have no idea about any of these secret lobbying cabals and their influence on the government, but I find it so plausible and it fits my narrative I just believe every word of it.

Amazing how a relatively small number of immigrants get blamed for economic problems which have been caused by progressively incompetent Tory Prime Ministers and their Cabinet cohorts.

Yours is a thinly disguised xenophobia shared by those who hate the landscape of their lives being changed by the appearance of 'strange' faces. The problem is that it's in the nature of all animals to preserve their territory, but only humans can voice that insecurity and elaborate it into various threats that aren't resonant with modern, first world societies.

These people aren't armies gathering on the French coast with the intention of taking over the country - they're the debris from wars and poverty who see the UK as some kind of sanctuary.

Trump stoked up this issue in the States, fomenting hispano-hate to get impoverished poor white people who historically, had been and were being consistently failed by the state.

The Brexit lie and the inflation of Johnson as some great statesman was aping Trump - the belief that people would fall for solutions that were obviously complete non-starters. Did the Trump Wall ever get started, even.

This government and that of Cameron and Johnson were truly enemies of the people.

Patel and Braverman were, at some point, descended from immigrants who were accepted into this country by governments who had a morality sadly lacking in modern senior Conservative politicians. Yet, both have been screaming histrionically about the need to come down hard on those who they view as undesirable. But the rich Russian mafiosi are allowed to ply their trade without even a hint of possible deportation. I'm going on...and on

Truss' parents are left-wing right? She grew up left-wing and apparently "converted" to her current alignment. 

 

What if - and hear me out, here - Liz Truss is a left-wing sleeper that has been playing a 30-year long game in order to bring down the Tories from within, and is currently enacting zero vote policies? 

 

It's the only explanation, surely?

Funnily enough I listened to a podcast of liz truss from about 4 years ago and that's exactly what her dad thinks. 

 

Listen to it from 1 minute 50 seconds.

I must risk my life more crossing the channel so I can reach the land of milk & honey.

[gerblod]

I'm no economist, but Kwarteng's budget was astonishingly inept. That Truss somehow didn't grade it F- is indicative that she believed an economic recovery could be achieved by such nonsense.

Hunt is going back down the austerity cul-de-sac - the Cameron/Hammond dead-end belief that squeezing the poor (and I mean relatively poor) of money will somehow miraculously create a powerhouse economy. This is faux politics - the Tory Party desperately trying to cling to power for its own sake. Which is, in this time of huge need, almost treasonous.   

160,000 backwoods and backward Tory Party members are steering this country. The last time a ruling 'elite' showed this much callous disregard for their underlings, there was a nationwide revolt and revolution - where their lands and properties were confiscated and  they were executed by the tens of thousands...by guillotine.

As much as I'm against physical punishment, I consider a spell in the stocks would bring a lot of these irresponsibles to reflect on where ego takes one.

Snot worth it, the milks curdled and the honey has got moisture in it and set solid.

The whole thing is the net result of being in hock to all the 'think' tanks in 55 Tufton Street - it's all about f*****m via economics.

Can confirm, her dad taught a module I did at uni a few years ago. From what I heard even then, he didn't like to have to much to do with her due to her politics...

They were invited here, they came here legally through proper immigration means I'd imagine, unlike those crossing the channel in small boats who have paid people smugglers thousands of pounds.

I have absolutely no gripe with migration to this country, but it needs to be controlled, surely. 

[Dames]

3 line whip to vote in favour of fracking. So that's pensioners and NIMBYs they'll have upset in the past 24 hours.

 

The Tory base is well and truly gone. Especially with the racists flooding back to UKIP, Reclaim and Reform.

They were invited here, and now we have been trying to strip them of their rights and deport them. I admire your loyalty to your politics but not your evident myopia to the obvious excesses of the party you are loyal to.

Perhaps do some actual research in to why people are doing it? Count yourself lucky you were born within imaginary borders drawn up years ago so you aren't vulnerable to exploitation and risking your life just for a "nice hotel room"
