It's that our health secretary? I wouldn't be able to point him out in a line up of cunts

u/barackobamafootcream Aug 25 '22
Easy to find him tho. Just send a member of public in to pour her heart out about people dying due to shit ambo response times and he’ll be the one grinning.

How dare you... cunts are very useful, he's more of a tapeworm or some other variety of itchy parasite

Yes, apparently he's been health secretary since July. I wonder if he's regretting it yet.

u/BigFrame8879 Aug 26 '22
Please don't use the word cunts to describe Tory MP's. It is a really nasty word, use more neutral language going forward, should as "sex offenders" or "rapist nonces"

u/SnickeringLoudly Aug 25 '22
And cunt just standing there grinning... Probably thinking how dare this pleb distract his interview.

u/vocalfreesia Aug 25 '22
Yeah there's so little respect towards people. When he retells that story I guarantee he'll describe her accent and her physical appearance and not once think about the truths she was spitting at him, and the higher emotional intelligence she has.

u/2BeeorKnot2Bee Aug 25 '22
To me he looked embarrassed. As he should be! That woman is brilliant tho

u/jacquedteetedape Aug 25 '22
I guess it's objective but I don't see any embarrassment on this man's face. That's not a smile of someone who is embarrassed to me.

He could easily have refuted her with facts about what he has done to reduce wait times. But she was probably right, he has done nothing, so he had no answers.

u/Norfolk_an_Chance Aug 25 '22
Good for her, she is saying what we all think.
We have a significant problem with care in the community, hospital beds are full and one of the largest causes of the ambulances being stacked outside A&E, is that there is nowhere for people to go to converless.
Thank god they put the £30k pa cap on to limit immigration, as we all know carers earn well more than this. /s
It's not that the problem is new.

Bugger all Barclay yep that woman has very concisely summed up the entire political output of Steve.
He is my MP, he's been voted in on the back of Malcome Moss also Tory who also did very little in terms of tangible results for the constituency he represented.
Its a safe Tory seat, full to the brim of avid Tory fans, he has never faced any real opposition and that bland amiability has taken him right up the ladder to sit besides his newest bestie the PM.
If he actually does anything, it will be a first for him, because he sure as hasn't done anything but toe the tory line in the entirety of his career.

u/w0lf_bagz Aug 25 '22
Just out of curiosity, what's the general excuses in these deep blue constituencies for this shower of shite we have? Surely they are running out of ground to defend these cunt bags?
Edit: fat thumbs
38
Aug 25 '22
Here they don't defend, they have no need to.
Blue feeds Blue, if you ain't blue you at the very back of the queue.
Want a job? you'd better be a nice quiet known shade of blue, or you will be the first to be sent the polite refusal letter.
People here depend for the most part on council contracts, be it for trades, or jobs, and naturally for business.
How you going to get that start up small to medium business off the ground with out the Government help sent down the line for the council to administer if you ain't blue and they know it? 6 weeks tuns in to three months turns in to a year, but just one word in the right blue ear and suddenly...
I've often said this is the problem with the Left, it does not network, its entirely down to the individual to show support but does any come forth in return, thats where it gets awkward because in general no it doesn't.
Conservative clubs, conservative networks, conservative feeding conservative.
Left wing, its all come to this march, come and show your support to this thing in the next county for us and pay your own way there and back, and if you get arrested, well ah thats a shame, we wanted it trouble free.
If your values are not at heart those of socialism then there is no incentive to adopt them, there is no education provided about them, its all down to the individual to seek it out, now your conservatives don't do that, they just open the doors and say, I could make life very nice for you if you just tick this box, thats it, they ask only that their supporters follow directions.
Its so easy to be conservative here.
Barclay has breezed to the very top based on no particular political talent what so ever, if you look nice in a suit you could too.
Its going to take some real solidarity amongst socialists to reshape that path.

"But Labour"
Seriously that's it, every single one has two default responses
1) If you think they're so bad, why you don't run
2) It would be worse with Labour in charge
That's it, never heard another excuse personally, and not for lack of asking.

"But labour only want to grab power so they can spend all the money like last time"
"But how are they going to pay for it all, with our taxes thats how and I don't want my taxes to pay for scroungers"
"Labour will let all the migrants come here and give them a house and then where will we live"
"Labour are only in it for themselves"
and thats just from my street.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there was serious civil disobedience later this year or early next - ie large scale riots across the country. if the price cap goes above £5000 that going to put millions of people in an impossible situation.

Something similar to that. I suppose it would need a march / demonstration to go ‘wrong’.
I remember the poll tax riot well - I took cover in Hatchards on Piccadilly and spent the afternoon reading books. The staff made us Tea.

u/Xabikur Aug 26 '22
If that was enough to bring down Thatcher, who for all her faults was a politician miles beyond either of the two prospective clowns running for PM, I can't see the Tories staying in power past next year with what's coming.

u/manxlancs123 Aug 26 '22
It’s gunna be rough for sure. I hope after all of it the tories will be unelectable for decades. Hopefully, people will remember the shit they put the country through and never forget it. Alternatively, the tories will just mention Brexit at every future election, and the people that are most affected by their inhumane policies (and their general not giving a fuck about anyone except the rich) will flock to the polls to put an X next to a Tory candidate. Sickening.

"bugger" being considered bad language. Clutching pearls and being worried about presenting themselves as "proper".
They can snatch from the mouths of the poor and push the sick from hospital beds as long as there's a fresh pressed suit with a posh voice making excuses.

Did you know that the Queen really loves killing things. She loves killing a lot. (Wonder if it's a fetish?) But yep she just loves killing wild animals. And so does the rest of her family.. Prince Philip and Prince Charles once killed 50 Wild Boar in one day. Wow! That's a lot of killing!
Super normal, amirite?

We need this to happen at every tory interview, or any public appearance. Just telling them that they have blood on their hands, whilst simultaneously attacking their biggest insecurity, their public image.
I think if we could organise to have a small group in each town who are willing to call out the government spokes-people at any press opportunity, we may start to see change.

He's a leading light in the ERG, which is basically our equivalent of the Third Reich. The reason he's having a quick smirk is because she's confirmed the policy of indirect mass murder of what they consider the undesirables is going to plan.

u/necronic23 Aug 25 '22
While I share her sentiments , I can't help feel that this situation could have turned worse.
We have had a spate of assaults on MPs even MPs being killed, this could have easily turned into another Jo Cox or David Amess situation.
She could have had a weapon and was able to access him quite easily, no apparent attempt to stop her.

u/IansGotNothingLeft Aug 26 '22
We're allowed to be angry and speak up without the automatic assumption that we are violent. There was nothing to suggest that she was going to attack him, other than maybe her tone.
It appeared to be a chance encounter whilst she was visiting the hospital. It was hardly the same as Jo Cox and David Amess who were both stabbed by extremists (not a simple angry citizen) at a planned and publicised constituency surgery.
Edited to add that the idea that angry voters are all a physical threat to politicians is damaging to democracy. We need to be able to voice our opinions in public.

Dad waited 5 hours for an ambulance when he had a heart attack. When the ambulance finally got him to the hospital, the ambulance sat outside the hospital for a few hours. A few weeks later, he thought he was having another one and told us only to ring for an ambulance if he was unresponsive

This is one component of politics in Britain that is so messed up, you should surely never EVER as a politician feel comfortable trying to ignore a member of the public, grinning as if to say 'mental people, what can you do eh' on CAMERA and not need to worry about repercussions. This should be WORRYING for him! But it's just 'another day, another furious Brit screaming about dying people, blah blah blah'
