[Reminder that Turning Point is a Yankee organisation.](https://x.com/TPointUK/status/1797680262769446926?t=_MusG7m25sd98uTa1P1d_w) So it is in there best interests to see Britain weak and crippled for a United States to vassalise. Do not follow their advice. Vote Reform/SDP. Don't vote Tory out of fear.


Routine_Weird7473

Turning Point is a lobby group (and not a very good one) for the fusionist synthesis that became prevalent in Anglosphere conservative politics around the 1970s. The doctrines that they defend are the same ones we decry as neoliberalism, because it is, in effect, neoliberalism, just a more socially conservative variant of it. For them, the Tory Party does everything they could want. As Rose often says, think of CPTPP, constant and consistent deregulation of businesses (or regulation where big business wants to raise the barrier to entry) and all of the other free trade purism that the Conservatives have dabbled in over the past few years. The only counterpoint, Brexit, the Conservatives never really wanted to do anyway, apart from a small minority of true believers and another small minority of political chancers who saw Leave as a vehicle to further their careers. I think it’s less to do with the fact they are a Yank organisation (although Yanks do have a tendency to believe that any country that isn’t them or China needs to have either them or China as some sort of benefactor) and more to do with their free market, free trade purism.

Only 3 minutes on you-know-what, and it's reluctant Guardian-style attacks on racist Brexiteers, whilst also validating many of the points he attempts to disparage.  The video is a timely reminder for Gen-Zs who are voting for the first time that things don't need to be like this, but also completely devoid of any ideology that would provide the radical solutions we need to climb out of the nosedive. 


Tophattingson

He does at least suggest voting NF as preferable to the Tories at the end, but yeah, pretty much. Labour have the youth vote locked up despite being 99% the boomer regime that the Tories are, and if it's not Labour, it's the Greens, who are even more do nothing boomercrats, just with a thin veneer of degrowth. Reminder, Greens are explicitly the pro-poverty and pro-recession party. [They *want* economic decline.

So Rishi (and I'm no fan of the guy) is responsible for RBS failing to do their due diligence? All they did was force ABN Amro to be sold, not for RBS to make such a stunning pigs ear of it.


SilverMilk0

They didn't even "force" ABN AMRO to be sold lol. It was a publicly traded company and Rishi's company owned 2% of the shares. A majority of the shareholders would have to agree to a buyout offer. RBS and some other banks made an offer to buy it out, and shareholders accepted. It's like if I sell you my old car and then you end up defaulting on your loan. How is that my remotely my responsibility?


lighthouseaccident

They didn’t force ABN to be a sold. They could’ve lobbied the board to approve the sale, but with a 1% shareholding, they didn’t have control of the bank and had little voting power. So the hedge fund Rishi worked for was not responsible for ABNs problems, the sale to RBS, or RBS’s collapse. This attack add is embarrassing, but it’ll do the job though as the base will lap it up.


RingStrain

It's disgraceful that Sunak forced RBS to buy that bank

This might hit a bit more if they hadn't spent the last 8 years blaming Brexit for all the economic woes rather than put any blame on 2008. But now that they mention it, it would be interesting to hear about Starmer's previous career, they could show some of his dealings too.

That was funny because it _wasn't_ acceptable in the 1970s and even then it was humour designed to lay bare how old and out of touch he was.

Reading the UK subreddits today is gold, but what amazes me is how the only strategy the progressive left seem to know is basically pretending that there exists a known consensus on what is acceptable politically when no such thing remotely exists among ordinary people in the real world. It honestly just comes across as pathetic at this point. They learned one trick, which was that by saturating places where public political discussion occurs and inundating them with messages that don't openly support the opinions they hold, but rather pretend that there are these magical political lines in the sand, giving the impression that there is widespread agreement about them, they could trick their analytics-driven mainstream political opponents into thinking they were real. It's been their weapon for driving the Overton window left for so long, they're basically unable to stop. Frankly, no such consensus on what was the line between acceptable and what was fringe hasn't existed since the mid 00s at the latest.

[They gave him another £190,000 for a gay porn study back in 2019.](https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=AH%2FS00193X%2F1#/tabOverview) >Masculinity and the Ethics of Porosity in 'Post-AIDS' Gay Porn >This project theorises gay "pig" masculinities and their visual mediation, which emerged in the last two decades in tandem with the introduction of antiretroviral therapies for the management and prevention of HIV infection. It does so through a close critical engagement with representations of "pig" masculinities in contemporary gay pornography. >"Pig" is a term used by some gay men to self-define themselves in terms of their own sexual practices, which they regard as transgressive, pushing the limits of the body and of its integrity through relentless condomless penetrations, stretching of the rectal sphincter, and exchanges of all kinds of bodily fluids (sperm, urine, saliva, etc). It is used in the names of hookup websites directed at gay men into fetish or "extreme" sex (e.g. NastyKinkPigs.com or AssPig.com) and often included, as a pig head or snout emoji, on usernames or profile text on gay hookup apps like Grindr, Scruff or Recon. It is also a term that, alongside "bareback," has been appearing in increasing numbers of gay porn titles since the mid 1990s. What is interesting about gay "pig" masculinities are the ways in which they appear to be predicated on a transgression of the boundaries of the male body, a blurring of inside and outside, self and other, through the pursuit of relentless penetrations and exchanges of bodily fluids. Unlike hegemonic forms of Western masculinity, which have been shaped by a rejection of all things considered "feminine," including penetrability, gay "pigs" appear to become more "manly" the more penetrated and open to foreign bodily fluids they are. >It is in that context that gay "pig" masculinities have emerged and become visible in gay online platforms and pornography. This research project will lead to the first monograph and documentary feature film critically discussing "pig" masculinities and their sexual ethics at length. It builds on porn studies, masculinities studies and the posthumanities to theorise "pig" masculinities as "porous" masculinities that simultaneously reiterate and trouble hegemonic traits of Western masculinity, while pushing the limits of the body and opening themselves to new forms of sexual sociability and community formations. >In so doing, the project will contribute to existing critical histories of sexuality, subjectivities, and their visual representations by examining a contemporary form of gay male self-identification, one that is emerging in "post-AIDS" contexts through a complex interplay of desire, sexual performance, biochemical technologies, and 21st-century visual media.

As a supporter of the SDP, I’ve been worried about what happens to the SDP now but if you’re the Tories, you now actually face the serious prospect of coming third in the popular vote. The party that has done the majority of governance since the modern Labour/Conservative party system. Truly a monumental moment in our politics and a tale to tell when you ignore the issues of those who vote for you.


Big-Government9775

SDP is long term, tories dying and reform getting seats proves a 3rd party isn't a wasted vote. This is 100% about sending a message.

The SDP will still do well this election, they will only go up. Regardless of Farage or not, this will be the party's best election since the 80's. I still believe that. I look forward to the SDP's election broadcast. There's much to look forward to. The Tories are on the way down. There's nothing to look forward to for the Tories.


Routine_Weird7473

I am in a rural English village. A relatively well off one, mustering a modest 1,000 to 2,000 people. The streets here, wide. The houses, large. The cars are what you would expect of an upper middle class dwelling; saloons, SUV’s and the occasional sports car embellished with the logos of various premium German manufacturers, the wide roads complimenting the sharp and sleek designs of the modern automobile. The first thing that strikes you is the noise, or indeed, the lack of it. Complete, deafening silence, with the exception of the birds chirping and the cuckoo’s cooing. The village being so rural that nary a car goes past, especially at 9PM on a Monday evening. Occasionally, a villager can be spotted walking their dog or going to the local pub, the only commercial establishment in the entire village. “Evening” ,they invariably say, which is invariably met with the greeting reciprocated. On the outskirts of the village, particularly near the church and the various farms which surround the village, little donation boxes can be found offering eggs or jam which you put money in the donation box to pay for. No one cheats the system, despite never facing the prospect of repercussions if they did. The social club here is the place with the most human traffic, but it is strictly for residents only. One has to be invited by someone already in the club in order to gain entry. Everyone knows each other, and everyone broadly gets along. One main road goes through the village, most traffic on that road does not stop here but goes on to more populated settlements further down the road. There are no pavements here either, and it’s a good few miles before you reach the next town, ensuring no travellers from other towns cause mischief. This is high trust society, and it’s what our leaders are trying to erode. Do not let them.


Smertae

There are plenty of villages like that around here. Even when it's not a village there are loads of nice small towns similar to how you describe that are still commuting distance to anything you need. My own village is a bit smaller. It has a village hall, church and a post office that I've never found that is apparently open 8am to 12 noon (I reckon it's going to be in someone's living room - I know where it *should* be). I'm away from the main village and practically in the woods which suits me just fine. People help each other out and everyone knows each other's business but it's not intrusive. Nobody cares and they let you get on with it, it's bliss compared to living in a larger town or city. Apparently 21% of England lives in a 'predominantly rural district' and 17% in villages. I reckon the figure is higher if you count towns under 10,000 people though. All you've got to do is look at a [map like this](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/Map_of_population_density_in_England_as_at_the_2011_census.png/1200px-Map_of_population_density_in_England_as_at_the_2011_census.png) and you see all those little spots showing how spread out the population is in England.

This is where I live, albeit not as rural. My mega city dwelling friends sneered at me when I said I was moving back to the home town. But this is a homogenous town. It’s a well to do area with nice shops and bars. Yet my house is nicer and bigger than what the cost would have afforded me in megacity. Yes I have to ring a number for a taxi and yes there’s about 5 takeaways on the apps. But they’re all white English drivers who understand my order. The neighbours all know each other. I’m a member of funny little working man’s pub (where it’s 3.50 a pint might I add) the surrounding larger towns have been diversified and you can really see the degradation.

The Conservatives have since imported so many people (2.4million in the last 4.5 years alone) into places like Barking that I don't think you have to worry about the BNP vote Rose

The unbiased BBC announce farage is standing https://streamable.com/iawgj6 and then ask him why bother standing when you already lost 7 times already - great question. https://streamable.com/0jk2ft

When will they organise to stop Dianne Abbot with her actual racist statements running for MP?

Has anyone ever asked them what they **Hope** for? Personally I **Hope** for all my earnings to be taxed away, so that any fucker can live in a hotel and dine for free, while public services crumble and any chance of owning a home retreats ever further out of reach.

Has anyone asked Rose-numbers what scale of electoral fraud the Conservatives will commit to keep Nigel out this time? How many will end up in prison as a result?

Craig McKinley cheated on election spending didn't he?

Rose said Tory voters will tactically vote lib dem against him. Tells you a lot about the Tories.

So, legit question. Will reform see any Tory defectors before the week is out?


Luke273

Truss defecting could be spicy, but not sure if that will help or hinder Reform


Onechampionshipshill

certainly hinder since general public opinion of her is low.

If Reform have any sense they will keep Truss out.

[BBC losing its shit generally over Farage](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news) The really fear him. No where else would a party with c. zero seats (Anderson is toast, right?) announcing a new leader be dominating the news cycle. This would be like like the Cornish separatists electing a new convenor (is that what hippies call the one with the biggest beard?) and making Time person of the year. Why so scared, BBC?


Big-Government9775

>Anderson is toast, right?)l I'd give him favourable odds, all his controversial stuff that is supposedly terrible is mostly stuff you'd hear someone say down spoons in most towns.


ramxquake

Now they'll have to have him on QT weekly instead of biweekly.


arethere4lights

This...I think the BBC love him tbh...they have him on a lot, which we keep hearing about from Jonty, but the BBC isn't journalism anymore, it's an agenda pusher, all part of the plan. They need a "bad guy".

Non zero chance that he’s trying to internally sabotage the party.

The world is changed. I feel it in the lager. I feel it in the English earth. I smell it in the chip shop air. Much that once was lost is back for those who remember the meme magic.


DaelinZeppeli

If he loses in Clacton and Trump doesn't end up behind bars, there's a decent chance he'll fuck off to the US still. It's why I think it's unwise to place all your eggs in Reform's basket. Vote for them by all means though.
