Michael Portillo got double-jabbed, went out and caught Covid, then went on national TV to tell people that because vaccines don't make you IMMUNE, then it's reasonable not to take them.
FOR F***S SAKE!!
VACCINES MAKE YOU SIXTY-THREE PERCENT LESS LIKELY TO SPREAD COVID!! #BBCqt
You don't get to complain about Labour having a Shadow Cabinet that's on the 'wrong side of the Left' if you haven't been putting maximum effort into scrapping our two-party electoral system.
If you want a specific type of Left-wing party, YOU NEED PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION!
Simply put:
If you're constantly complaining about the divisions of Centrism vs Socialism then, whether you accept it or not, you believe Labour should be two different parties, but that only works under a fair voting system.
So what have you done to get Labour to support one?
There's also something inherently anti-democratic about the Labour infighting while the Party still officially supports FPTP.
Both sides know that not all progressive voters identify with their faction, but will HAVE to vote for them if that faction seizes control of Labour.
Get ready to agree with almost everything he says, but be aware that he will subtly and intelligently slip in 5% that is society-breakingly evil.
Jordan Peterson narrative:
Politicians can't be expected to know everything about everything; we just need them to say sorry when they get things wrong.
Flaw:
They're meant to use their civil service experts. They could have checked BEFORE they wrote their HS2 manifesto! #BBCqt
Jordan Peterson narrative:
Politicians take a financial hit when they enter politics.
Flaw:
Boris Johnson was a millionaire.
They're earning 100s of £1000s. Their financial difficulties are NOTHING compared that of people on universal credit, whose lives are at stake! #bbcqt
Can we PLEASE recognise that it's not OK for the government to pursue policies which their civil service experts say will be hugely damaging to the country.
The civil service are the government's experts. Boris Johnson studied Greek poetry! HE DOESN'T KNOW BETTER!!
The Government's experts came to the conclusion that pursuing Brexit would hurt the people of this country, NO MATTER WHAT DEAL THEY NEGOTIATED.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
That means supporting FPTP and expecting Labour governments to be in power long-term, when FPTP is statistically proven to benefit the Tories, is insane.
Boris Johnson: 'The best way to ensure every MPs IS properly safe is to get Brexit done'.
Translation: Follow my political agenda or you may die.
...which is the attitude behind every political assassination ever committed... promoted by the most powerful man in the country.
If someone came to your workplace and told you the best way to ensure your family is safe is to vote for x, you'd call the police!!
The fact some people seem to think mentioning that our Prime Minister knowingly used death threats, is just "political point scoring" terrifies me.
We've become so numb to a man who once conspired to beat up a journalist that mentioning the evil stuff he's said and done is seen as political point-scoring.
Just because our broken voting system means this stuff doesn't get him removed DOESN'T MEAN WE STOP TAKING IT SERIOUSLY!
