This is a normal post I mean, at least he's being open about it.
All politicians are cunts. The lot of them. Anybody who honestly believes that there's an MP out there that doesn't put their own self-interests before the self-interests of their constituents is having a fucking laugh.

Does that make it okay? Of course not. But these hard-left Milennial Instactivists like Marina Purkiss who, let's be honest, comes across as a bit of a fucking bellend seem to be under (or at least, try to sell) the impression that things would be vastly different/better under a different leadership. I don't think that would be the case, and we'll find out soon enough.

At the end of the day. These 'commentators' don't find success by shouting in support of whoever's currently driving the bus.

I suppose you could make the argument that some action is better than inaction. But what kind of action needs to be taken to change the mindset of a nation that voted for fucking Brexit in the first place?

This is a normal post It kind of spoils the message when you slip into hyperbole
You can't prove either of those things and never put down to malice what can be more easily explained with incompetence.

As someone else said, both parties are just sides of the same arse. I've been voting for 40 years or more and the calibre of politicians just keeps falling each time I vote. Johnson and Corbyn were the low points for me. Neither had a fucking clue about leadership, policy or diplomacy and I wouldn't have put either in charge of a stationary cupboard. Why people voted for them I will never understand.

How many politicians have spent their careers entirely in politics? Or in law, so that they develop an air of looking down on everyone else. Most have no real empathy for the average person, why would they? They never mingle with them.

Nothing will change until we change MPs and how they are motivated. I would personally like to see their salary tied to delivering election commitments, and paid well for doing so. I would also like to see recalls for any misdemeanor, and no moving into lobbying at the end of a career.

Pay them really well, but attach the kind of strict rules that mean to get booted out for breaking any rule.

Who's not that bad, to be honest.

There's much worse.

We are lucky to not have a complete cunt, because we are in a safe seat.

I am of the view that the one thing that keeps an MP acting decently is fear of losing their seat. Swapping your MP for a different one regularly is, in my view, politically healthy.

The problem with Johnson, is that he has this unwavering attitude of privilege and entitlement that means he'll never do the right thing because he has no fear of any negative effects from doing the wrong thing.

This is a normal post I listen to streaming services because it gives me an opportunity to discover new music/be reminded of artists I've forgotten about
without having to listen to the intolerable presenters and overplayed post-punk wank that has become so synonymous with so much of contemporary BBC6 Music's airtime.

I also have an extensive collection of Hi-Res digitally archived vinyl which I can listen to in the comfort of my own home. But there's really no good reason to transfer all those files over to my phone to listen to on the move. They're far too large and even my 'good' wireless headphones won't do them justice. If I'm walking to the shop/commuting to work/going for a run/doing just about anything other than leaning back, shutting my eyes and losing myself in the Music, streaming services make the whole experience much more convenient.

It's comparable to Netflix vs. Blu-ray for me. If I just feel like sticking on some light entertainment, or fancy watching a movie after work, I'll fire up Plex or one of my streaming services. If I want to really experience a film, then I'll fire up the Blu-ray player.
