Not really,  The dyed in the wool Tories are not happy about the high tax, high spend policies and the desire to outstrip the rest of the world in chasing net zero with consequent price rises.  Nor are the "red wall" first-time Tories from the last election.

The dyed in wool Tories have had things their way too long anyway. As for the first time red wall Tory voters hopefully the scales will fall from their eyes as the country and public services crumble around them

I’m obviously not the dyed-in-the-wool Tory I used to think I was because I want this.

As would any sane human being even remotely interested in human civilisation remaining somewhat as it is in terms of comfort. Political affiliation really shouldn't come into it.

I really wish I was better at thinking up puns because I'm sure there are some zingers for this one.

I’m just imagining how it would be to play against someone who orgasms before making each move.

As a way of communicating, it certainly beats coughing, as employed by Charles Ingram on 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?'. 

My favourite moment of that is when the guy coughs the word “No”.

It's what I've scratched my head at too. They seem policies aimed at the more dyed in the wool Tories whose vote they already have. Guess the olive branch to the centrists will be at the budget next year when money appears. 

They’ll try and replicate Turkey. Rampant inflation, thousands killed in an earthquake due to corruption in not maintaining buildings and miles behind in the polls. Then just offered free electricity and gas and the voters lapped it up. The same can definitely happen here. Taxes are so high now so that the tories can promise to slash them if they win an election, and then won’t do it anyway.

Maybe Niemann was inspired by watching the Chess Vibes YouTube channel! Btw, I mentioned it in the Chess thread recently, and recommend it.

The excellent way that the channel's presenter, Nelson Lopez, explains chess tactics. Having said that, to the best of my knowledge, he's never covered the topic of shoving something up one's rear end as a way of gaining an advantage in chess!

Just a slightly higherbrow reimagining of the "town full of *****" chant that sadly has been sometimes heard at the KP, I think.

 

The intent and contemptuous mindset behind both is the same.

Genuinely wonder what she sees when she 

A - looks at who is her boss

B - looks in the mirror 

 

Shes confused.

Second generation "asian".

Married a Jewish lad, now shes a Buddhist.

Bet shes never had a fecking red tissue box holder in her car or ever owned a Datsun.

Wonder if she was told to " Feck off back to her own country" growing up, spat at or chased by NF?

 

She's  not one of "us" that's for sure🤣🤣

How dare she comment on what things are like in our city. She's just trying to drive a wedge between communities in an area where, largely, I'd say multiculturalism has been a success. Playing up to a certain voter, trying to win a manufactured culture war.

 

I say that as a straight, white male, so obviously there will be a huge number of experiences of which I'm completely unaware. There will surely be victims of racial harassment and hate crimes on this forum. And, even in my own narrow experience, I've witnessed flashpoints between different communities and I've heard people of my own ethnicity utter racial slurs thinking that they were in a 'safe' place to do so.

 

But, from what I've seen, people of different ethnicities and backgrounds in Leicester generally tend to come together and live alongside each other in relative harmony.

 

When I lived in the city, I used to work in teams consisting of people either from - or with heritage from - places including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Hong Kong, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Poland, the Caribbean and Ghana. I often think about some of the laughs we had at team meals, playing football together, etc. I grew up with friends at school from many different backgrounds.

 

Braverman is wrong about Leicester. She's just parroting Laurence Fox and his ilk while knowing nothing about what she's talking about, jumping on the troubles in Highfields recently and applying broad brushstrokes, trying to comment about the entire city 100% of the time. She's wrong.

 

Our city isn't perfect but it is incredible.
