Westminster Politics

There is an email doing the rounds on Twitter and trending ahead of George Osbourne’s wedding on Saturday. Alleging all sorts of things. Don’t want to post it here due to the nature of it but it’s on Twitter.
Any links?

Mods, tweet clearly stats the email states "according too", it's a rumour, no one is staying this is truth or anyone here is endorsing this as truth.

If you want me to delete, go ahead.
 
Whether that email happened or not, it has sure ruined his wedding. Which, you could argue, is awful if he's innocent, but then again, how many lives did that cnut destroy with austerity?
 
What else is there left to say about these absolute cnuts?l.

fecking hell, that's embarrassing. Ronaldo would've thrown him into a pond.
 



Getting booted out of the Labour Party is probably the best thing that’s happened to him.


Bumped into him at the Miner's Gala after the speeches were done. Loads of folks were asking for photos with him, and with Zarah Sultana who gave one of the speeches.
 
Portugal is a pretty young democracy and we feck up loads of times, but following the news in this thread, all the corruption from top to bottom in government, there's no way such a government would still be standing and that party would have absolutely no chance in the next elections. Are the british just numb to all of this?
 
The mere presence of that person in the House of Commons as am MP feels like satire in itself.

I don't know if numb is the right word but most British people accept far too much shit from the people in charge and don't really believe in change. I could never imagine them kicking off the way they have in France.

There isn’t really much that can be done. Maybe the French option of rioting, but even then, it would have to be an incredible riot to get a majority government to relinquish control. If they used a PR system and were being propped up, I’m sure it would have long collapsed. Bar some major changes I don’t really think they have any chance in the next election anyway.

We're a nation of serfs.

What exactly is there to do? Talking realistically here, rather than hanging them all at the gallows, which I would also be in favour of.

The French are often cited as a good example on here but unless I'm mistaken....the retirement age has still been raised to 64? And Macron is still in power? What exactly did those protests achieve in the grand scheme of things?

I do think that the Brits accept things far more than they should but I'm not sure that governments would be falling across Europe with as big a majority as this current government have.

I'm hopeful that they'll be out of power for a long long time after this.

Just a shame that a lot fo them will end up in cushy consulting jobs rather than hauled in front of a court as they should.
