They appear to have missed off the 340k to keep Rutman quiet?

Alex Salmond in danger of becoming Scotland's Farage. What does he hope to achieve with another independence party other than split the independence vote?

Ah, yes. His ego.

This is what happens a lot with the left - they end up splintering into factions and so none of them end up in power. The right, apart from the extreme right, largely tend to rally round the Conservatives despite their small differences. This is why we have so many right wing governments in a nation that broadly supports liberal policy,

One thing this Scotland thing is showing is that they're not these principled people fighting for a cause for a cause they believe. They're as much ego-driven, power-hungry and driven by self-interest as every other politician. Hopefully it'll lead to the independence movement taking a long hard look at exactly where they're going and who's in power.

Also annoyed at Johnson spouting the 'capitalism' nonsense as being the reason behind the vaccines. Utter bollocks. If capitalism was behind it they'd be charging tens of thousands a dose. Massive demand, supply can't keep up - price should be much higher than it is and climbing. If 'PharmaBro' had been in charge we'd be looking at having to bankrupt the country to get enough.

Reason it's affordable is because it's being done 'at cost' for public health reasons (i.e. society) and distributed by a public service provider. Not capitalism.

Do you know what we have got from capitalism in this pandemic? Billions wasted on a privately developed T&T system and PPE that was unfit for use due to giving contracts to greedy fuckers with little or no experience using contacts and donations to those in power.

How he can even say this stuff with a straight face is staggering. If he truly believes it he truly is an idiot who has no understanding of what capitalism actually is.

It’s a sad fucking state of affairs when you’ve literally photoshopped out a Corbyn banner in your local election propaganda. Probably because you’ve got no chance of inspiring this many people at any time.

When I first came across this I was pretty shocked. And whilst I don't think I'm going to give jingo jean any credit, I did think back to my dna results that showed that I was 'technically only 10 percent English even though I, my parents and grandparents were both born in England.

As one poster has said on YT, perhaps there was a confusion of ethnicity, culture and citizenship (appreciate that British is citizenship, not English).

Jean’s gonna be pissed when someone tells her where the Anglo-Saxons originated from.

Deleted member 4439 · Mar 30, 2021

In fact, I hadn't picked up on her use of the word 'pollution'. Lammy does indeed deserve credit for not having rised to that one. Not sure I could have held myself back.

Tbf, I suspect she's very well aware that the English are Angles.

What always gets me about this stuff and the Amish, you’ve decided on a cut off when things are OK, why then?

For the Amish: why is 1500 technology OK but 1900 tech not?

For Jean: why does someone who moved here 600 years ago English but someone who moved 60 years ago not?

Why the random cut off?

Yeah fair play to Lammy there.

And what an awful piece of shit Jean is.

Poor old Jean must get very confused when watching the England football team.

'Look at this Roy, there's a load of foreigners playing for England! It's PC gone mad Roy!'

It does seem to be needlessly baiting. I suppose it does give David Lammy the opportunity to point out how ridiculous she sounds, but that's not going to be changing the minds of the Jeans of this world.

It’s like Jean thinks there is a finite amount of Englishness available and people are going to steal hers. Reinforced by her use of the polluted phrase.

Can't have the state broadcaster covering any negative press surrounding the Dear Leader now can we

PVA · Mar 30, 2021

They do, however, have a story on the front page of their website about the conduct of David Cameron when in office. Much more relevant than the conduct of the sitting Prime Minister, of course.

Was thinking similar to that myself. It's almost as if the time Jean thinks she's living in is the end of time. Sounds a bit like the prevailing boomer outlook.

For people like her it’s not a random cut off. It’s black and brown people turning up and polluting the ‘English stock’. Well guess what love, we are here so you can swivel.*
