Brexit Arms Festive Special. Will the Grinch steal christmas? Could it be ‘Christmas with the Kranks?’ Or will we end up with a ‘Blue’ Christmas after all?...🤷🏻‍♀️🎄

[EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit]

First off, comrade Hilda has been busy in the propaganda dept! Praise be to Hilda! The dear leader will appreciate and reward your efforts with a cushy job in the newly opened Ministry of Bullshit. ✊🥀

A festive choice of...

•Festive Glazed Gammons.

•Goose that laid the Gilded socialist egg.

•’Whigs’ in blankets.

State sanctioned by big brother.

DON’T BE A TWAT.

“I think he would have been pleased with how far the family has come since through sheer hard work, though, and I can just imagine what he would have made of any privately-educated "E-stands-for-Excellent", Islington dwellers who sympathised with terrorists.”

So much this. Ditto on my family side. The world and the UK are a VERY different place now.

I have a split working class and agricultural family background. My Dad worked in the Foundries whilst he studied, until he moved us south for new opportunities.

Anyhoo! ☕️ 🥐 (and 🥃 for you hardcore morning types.) on the bar for you all! Dig in!

My Dad worked in the steel industry, starting on the shopfloor as a 14 year old - before he lied about his age to join the RAF for WW2.

He had to join the union when he started work. He was doing a man's job and being paid a boy's wage (sound familiar?!), and asked the unions for help but the shop steward didn't want to know (too busy drinking in the local pub that my Mum's parents ran). From that point onwards, he would never pay the union subs.

He eventually ended up in senior management, and always maintained that the unions were full of 'leaders' wanting to look after themselves - but that there would never have been any need for them, had their not been dreadful bosses.

Morning, Ajandjjmum. Your Dad was not wrong. It's not surprising so many of us have working class backgrounds. Our families were all about aspiration and wanting better lives for their children by engaging in sheer hard work.

I'm not wealthy enough to be a champagne Socialist. And I'm not young enough to think I know everything.

In other news, from the Telegraph:

"Labour will put fans at the heart of football by giving them a far greater say over the way their clubs are run,” she said. “We will provide them a say over who their manager is, allow safe standing, and make sure all stadiums are fully ­accessible."

"She" is Rosena Allin-Khan, shadow sports minister. So if you are still pondering over how to vote, this has to be the clincher. Vote Labour and Choose Your Own Football Manager! Winner!

Anyone else think the retail offers are getting increasingly desperate?

“I'm not wealthy enough to be a champagne Socialist. And I'm not young enough to think I know everything. smile”

Preach! 🙏🙌🙌🙌

"Labour will put fans at the heart of football by giving them a far greater say over the way their clubs are run,” she said.”

Great, state run football teams (because that’s what they mean when they say ‘fans’). Just what everyone wants. This is full blown bloody communism. Misery awaits us all.

It’s basically a ‘Black Friday’ policy giveaway now. How can anyone still buy into this bullshit? 😳🤦🏻‍♀️

Just seen Boris’ statement at the Nato gathering. Very statesmanlike, I increasingly admire the way he can become the man for each occasion. He knows when to be light hearted and approachable, he knows when to be serious and restrained etc... Also, he appears to be liked by Trump, yet simultaneously be liked and have good camraderie with our EU leaders and neighbours even in the face of current tensions. Great news for diplomacy and future international politics. His past transgressions will no doubt haunt him, as they rightly should, but I like where he is heading now.

AJ, 🥃 for you and one 🥃 for your Dad! He sounds great!

Interesting article here, no specific smoking gun on the islington house as it were, but yet again there is a close association shown with Jezza and favouring those who moved in dangerous and awful circles.

Before any ploppers go at me for daily fail links. I can’t afford subscriptions to other haughtier and MN approved newspapers.

That article is an eye-opener, Epic. It has everything - IRA sympathy, landlord in need of emergency safe space due to earning the wrath of their neighbours, prioritising this lowlife over local families in genuine need (why go through all the stress of being on an impossibly long waiting list? Just pledge your allegiance to the enemies of your country and schmooze the right Eternal Campaigner. Job done).

I'm rather hoping then we'll see the really big revelations in the media the next six days or so, the ones that the media might have kept tucked up their sleeves.

In other news, from the Telegraph:

"The Kremlin has fuelled the growing row around leaked government documents published by Labour as it failed to deny the involvement of Russian hackers. Senior MPs have called for an urgent investigation into how Labour obtained the classified information amid growing evidence linking the leak to Moscow. Jeremy Corbyn hinted yesterday that he had downloaded minutes of US-UK trade talks from a website where investigators increasingly believe it had been placed by Russia. The Kremlin failed to deny being behind the leak yesterday as it used the row to mock Boris Johnson by suggesting it was being used to distract attention from his “own problems”"

So, Jezza, there's an easy response to the demands of "Senior MPs" for "an urgent investigation".

Demand that the minutes be forwarded to the Russians so that they can confirm or deny whether the leak was their work. You've demanded it before. Salisbury. If only they'd listened to you. 😡

Jezbollah is a dangerous man. The evidence is mounting.

If Labour are going to stick with the defence that they just plucked those documents off the reddit page, then more fool them. If they want to form a government, why aren't they taking more care to vet their sources? It's just not acceptable. They did the same with "the NHS will be charged £500m more a week for drugs" line, which they cherry picked from a report which looked at the potential impact of a free trade deal and assumed the cost off all drug purchases rose in line with US prices (even though we only get 10% of our drugs from the US at present). And they couldn't defence why they were using that line (as per Andrew Neil show interview).

They've also been written to by the Chair of the UK Statistics Authority about the stats they are using on violent crime.

It's deliberate misinformation at worst, and bloody shoddy vetting of their data sources at best. It's funny Labour have gone quiet on releasing the russian interference report as well. Wonder why? Is it because there might be evidence that Russia is interfering in their campaign too? I bet Russia would love a Labour Govt. Brexit referendum re-run which will cause more chaos, nuclear deterrents removed, indebted to hilt, major industries nationalised, economy will be bust and investors will run away. Perfect for Russia as means we'll be too busy sorting our own house out to be involved in international issues.

Can you imagine! The Irony! 😉😂 I would fall off my bar stool laughing. What a time to be alive. 😉

Who in their right mind, downloads a so called ‘sensitive’ Government document off Reddit. With zero fact checking and questioning of the source originator, then, openly calls a press conference to hold it up to the world as some Holy Grail of truth and virtue. The stupid burns hard here. And these useful idiots want to run the country?

🙄😱😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 🥀

Why didn’t they just sneak it to a sympathetic newspaper, rather than risk the fall out from it’s dubious origin? Are they honestly that thick?

Exactly Epic the irony would be delicious. Of course Russia is a threat and all political parties need to be vigilant against disinformation. Yet the Labour party have walked blindly into. Their own stupid fault, trying to deflect the Corbyn car crash interview.

It's like the whole "evil Tories selling off Our NHS to the Great Satan" stunt all over again, Holly. And the footage of NHS staff - dressed in scrubs and with stethoscopes draped around their neck, in case we missed the point - was a stunt. A particularly tasteless one. However, they are playing to the gallery.

No, it's not that they are that thick, Epic. I think the sad truth is that they hold the electorate in such contempt that they believe we are thicker than they are.

Labour doesn't use the old "throw a dead cat on the table" distraction any more. So very last year. Theirs is a flaming great mountain lion.

By the way, the postman has just dropped the latest rainforest's worth of LibDem spam through the letterbox. The local candidate no longer appears anywhere in the campaign material, probably because they proved to be so deleterious to LD vote share last time. However, stuck in the middle of the spam was...the Labour candidate's pitch.

Folks, rejoice! My Labour candidate is NOT a figment of my imagination. She exists! There's even a photo of her with some beardy type in the sunshine. It's hard to make out who it is because his face is in deep shade as he is using a hat to shield it from the sunlight. However, he appears to be holding a jar of marrow jam and has a copy of Allotment Monthly tucked under his arm. 🤔

“No, it's not that they are that thick, Epic. I think the sad truth is that they hold the electorate in such contempt that they believe we are thicker than they are.”

Nailed it.

Anyone scratching their head, as I was, about where Labour think the average family will be over £6k better off. Robert Colville is even rageier than me. Labour's "average" family has 2 FT working parents using the train to commute and using FT childcare - this applies to hardly anyone and certainly no-one in the "working class" end of the spectrum. To add insult to injury Labour also make up loads of the figures and mix inflation and non-inflation adjusted and leave out all current Govt subsidies. They have also ignored all their stealth and overt tax increases.

No wonder a habitual Labour voter like me came out 80% Tory in the survey. Also tells you how much to the Left the Tories have travelled from Cameron to Boris.
