The Next Election, Political News, and Other Forms of Comedy (US, UK, & Intl)

This article deserves some kind of award. It is by far one of the funniest snarky pieces I have read in a long time. The fact that this guy is standing there on stage with a rifle with no sights is the perfect metaphor.

And no one's talking about how is pub landlord got a PPE contract and the brother of his mistress who also got a multi-million in the hundreds track and trace contract.
 
They are but the mainstream press is in thrall to this government.

Not seen rampant cronysim as the government in a while tbh. And no consequence at all. Hancock also enriched his family members (and by extension himself as he had an undeclared 20% stake in the company).

This a government of calamity and rank and file incompetence. No matter your political persuasion.

Clearly, they're not very bright are they? Plenty of environmental degradation in the former Soviet Union from nuclear catastrophe to the draining of the Aral sea.

It's all vague and at a superficial level with these youngsters. Socialism for the TikTok generation. But of course, a capitalist system is not best placed to support a generation of gullible kids with useless degrees.

If you can tell me what socialism has produced of any worth, other than the AK-47, I'm all ears.

The two greatest expansions of wealth in a populace in history. The largest numbers of people lifted out poverty in history. 100% literacy rates and a cancer vaccine? Any of this work?

Didn't she talk about how she and/or her family were on welfare when she was young?

*Now* she may not need it, but I'd be interested in her explanation of how she and her family would have got by when she was young if they didn't have government welfare... It's hard to grow up to be a conservative politician if you don't make it out of childhood.
