The brits are in for a rough ride

Well, Russian funding, deceptively until discovered, supporting Brexit supporters. The Russians have endlessly taken advantage of democracies to fragment the populations to take people's eye off the important issues. They really deserve a humiliating defeat in Ukraine for all the villainy they have perpetrated against wester democracies. And about 20 years of sanctions and restrictions from western powers.

10.000% this. Empathically fuck those guys. That guy. Fuck those bitches. They want to take what we got. - Which is freedom and representation. Democracy.
Fuck em. Seriously. Soneone shoot'em dead. We need to wake the fuck up.

I don't think Farage even needs Russian funding to be a dick.

If that's your 10% agreement, I'm guessing we go to the nuclear option at around 75%?

True - I really mean as an 'encouraging' force behind the whole Brexit movement. Oh, look - a bunch of nationalist - lets lend them a hand.

I'm sure that has some significance, but it's lost on me.

We were so poor. My maid was poor, my cook was poor, so was my dressage instructor.

Honestly how fucking clueless do you have to be to say all that in an interview?! Like everyone knows that he's really rich and had a comfortable childhood, don't be trying to be down with the poors!

And that was the interview that he left the D Day memorial early to give!

Sunak's out-of-touchness is beyond parody.

I wonder where he gets it from? I mean, his parents were a GP and a pharmacist, and, true, both those professions are in reality pretty well paid (certainly compared to my parents and the parents of most people I've known). As happened repeatedly with Thatcher, the "ordinaryness" of his background is greatly overstated because people don't seem to understand the actual income distribution of this country, especially in the past (Thatcher always got painted as some lower class interloper among the aristos of the MacMillan era Tory party, when in fact her father was a very wealthy businessman and local politician, and her family was far wealthier than that of either Edward Heath - son of a train-driver, and not-nearly as posh as his affected accent implied - or Harold Wilson)

But still wouldn't expect someone even from the affluent upper-middle-class to be _quite_ as out-of-touch with the real world as Sunak appears to be. There are titled aristocrats who have more of a 'common touch' than he does. Has he had to work at it, or were his grandparents actually even more upper-class?

According to wiki it seems he's yet another of the current top Tories who is descended from the Hindu Indians who the British used as the administrator class in Africa, and who went on to became the elite business class there - just as with Braverman and Patel. There's a weird irony/twist in the way the descendants of the people who once bossed the natives around to facilitate their exploitation by the British empire now have the same role domestically.

Will Jacob Rees-Mogg be re-elected? I still can't get over this interview with him, it has to be a parody or something jfc

Apparently it's just about possible he could lose his seat to the Lib Dems. A long-shot but with opinion polls as they are it's possible he could give us the new "Portillo moment". Almost every other high-profile figure is standing down (and clearing off to make use of their extensive contacts list and insider status to find a more lucrative perch) so I really hope he gets booted out.

TBH I'll be watching purely with schadenfreude. I'm not enthused with Labour right now. Don't get me wrong I'm absolutly going to vote for them and they are going to be a lot better than the Tories but they are hardly exciting at the moment.
