@toryboypierce got quite upset at his interview on @GMB with @susannareid100 @richardm56 @Kevin_Maguire

So let's just put his correction up here at the start

Because it's a useful place to start

And then we can work backwards
Here is the fuller clip from GMB

So to go back to what Andrew said

"I said councils will now look at services like libraries"

Now what fascinates me in that quote

is the "will now look"

here is the Daily Mail in 2010

here is the Daily Mail in 2011

here is the Daily Mail in 2015

here is the Daily Mail in 2016

here is a librarian body warning in 2020 of the consequences of a decade of Tory cuts

cilip.org.uk/news/491310/Ti…
and just as a counterpoint to that decade of tory cuts

here is @michaelgove and @edballs

I did a larger thread on Michael Gove and books

But back to @toryboypierce

"I said councils will now look at services like libraries"

Councils have always been reviewing services to determine what how they can survive
e.g. see 2010 where councils look at bin services

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
e.g. see 2015 where again a Chancellor warns of where councils might have to cut

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3…
and again of course you can go back to 2007 with the Daily Mail getting really really angry at cuts

dailymail.co.uk/columnists/art…
To end up with a thread that tries to wrap up some of the last 12 years of "compassionate conservatism"

see @RishiSunak and #TunbridgeWells and the word "fair"

Every day

Is a good day to bury bad news

If you can exploit the deaths of over 200,000 people during a pandemic

Then of course you can exploit the invasion, death and carnage in Ukraine

Just be honest about brexit

@10downingst @RishiSunak cannot

Alas
And we go back to 2002

Where David Davis MP quite rightly said such behaviour after 9/11 was appalling

Where is he now ?

news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politi…
So then we go to news reports in June 2020

So my question would be:

1. Which backbench MPs?
2. Which ministers?

Now of course bear in mind this was June 2020 - less than a few months into a pandemic Image

So I am going talk about fairness

So apparently tory propagandists would tell you this is a rebuttal of it from Rishi

Christian also goes further

I am going to talk about 2 leaders

Prime Minister Jeremy Hunt and Captain James T. Kirk

The modern update to that of course

But I want to go back to the original Star Trek

And the words from movie:

"I think that language is really dangerous"

See also:

Picannines/watermelon smiles
Letterboxes/bank robbers
Enemies of the people
Anti-growth coalition
Traitors
Remoaners
Seperatists
Scottish Nationalist Party
Metropolitan/Islington/North London elite etc..
So what does Nadhim Zahawi think is "really dangerous"

Is it the use of the word detest ?

What is the use of this word in relation to:

1. The policies of a party?
2. The values of a party?
3. Those who represent a party at a local/national level?
4. Those who vote for a party?
You can see @NickFerrariLBC here arguing that "they don't do it"

e.g Conservatives don't do this

see the words I put in the first post in this thread

oh yes and see also - "let it rip", "let the bodies pile high"

#BelieveInBritain / #LoveBritain

#GetBritainMoving #Freedom

The themes of course taken from a Conference speech of @trussliz

It is the 5th October 2022 at #CPC2022

It is the day of @10DowningStreet @trussliz closing speech to conference

So I added an extra column to this to cover the *EXTRA* range of bullshit spaffed by Tories to deflect from the #minibudget

let's go through them
1. we "didn't lay the ground properly"

No you deliberately chose not only not to get the OBR to assess the mini budget

BUT YOU DID NOT EVEN PRESENT IT TO FUCKING CABINET
2. It is a coup

Errr

No

It isn't

A reminder - previous Prime Minister Boris Johnson when asked about a literal insurrection said:

"I have no knowledge of what happened"
