The interns who got sacked by Turning Point UK?

[Andy McDandy]

Took a look at their manifesto. Corporatism, isolationism, slave labour, and for some reason an aversion to their members' private lives becoming public. This stood out:

3. No one can place a photographic lens or microphone, including smart devices, within 15 feet of an individual without prior consent. Breach of this will be considered as harassment to a person and they can use the same methods as can be used in self defense, namely, to remove/destroy offending equipment or use reasonable force personally, or by an agent, to enforce this rule, in order to protect against the invasion of their privacy.

As you may imagine, most of their plans are utter crap. But this bit on social responsibility is just....well, you'll see.

A responsible person does not need to be told how they should behave socially and how to respect their neighbours and other people in society. Unfortunately, a lot of people today choose not to be responsible or respect their environment or society. Many people are either idiots, lazy, don’t care or just try to abuse the system by doing the following:

Litter public areas, including disposing of cigarette buds or chewing gum. This is particularly bad near fast food outlets or with fast food packaging. The covid pandemic has now led to a new litter offence of discarded masks.
Do not clean up after their pets fouling public areas. This includes horse manure on the highway.
Illegal parking particularly in disabled parking places or on double yellow lines because they are too lazy to find a parking place and then walk to the shop.
Play music at unacceptable levels, late at night or in their cars. This includes loud tinny headphones on the tube.
Have very loud exhausts and drive at night in built up areas to satisfy their egos.
Bad driving, such as overtaking on the inside on motorways or hogging the middle lane when the inside is free.
Fly tipping is a very expensive crime that the taxpayer has footed the bill for years.
Swearing loudly in public when there are children about and then acting aggressively when somebody challenges them.
Cycle at night without lights. Besides being illegal this is a danger to pedestrians and drivers. See more on our proposed control on cyclists under our roads and transportation policy.

There are many more ways people are unsociable and in many of these cases there are laws to fine these offences. Unfortunately, because the fines are not often enforced people carry on being unsociable. NONPOL will change this with a new social charter. All social offences will be fine more heavily and people besides fines will receive points, similar to a driving license. People with points will have a high tax code until they have 3 years without any more points. People with no points will receive a reduction in their annual tax code. Good people should be rewarded, and bad people penalised. Persistent offenders would lose other benefits, such as a mobile phone. A new set of inspectors, like traffic wardens, but not uniformed, would apprehend anyone committing a social offence and fine them on the spot. Other people can text a hotline where they see social offences being committed and should this result in a fine the person reporting would receive a percentage of the fine; like a bounty from the old days. All the new fines and income from tax code increases would pay for this new army of inspectors. Our children have a right to grow up into a safe, clean and considerate environment.

So, aside from the dog whistles against travellers, BAME people, working class people, people with hidden disabilities, and more; they propose setting up an army of enforcers, in plain clothes to go around handing out spot fines, egged on by arseholes putting in 'reports' on anyone they don't like.

Also, a mobile phone is apparently a benefit. So that's basically more of the "poor people have got mobiles and plasma tellies" crap. A society based entirely on snobbery and personal prejudice, and a belief that only other people cause problems.

Bunch of cunts.

They put up one of their maniacs in the next constituency over. His personal page - which I now can’t find - was about 10% policy and 90% laundry list of personal grievances, outright bullshit, bigotry and tinfoil hat stuff.

He also looked like he probably lived in a shed.

[Rosvanian]

Oh come on, this has got to be a piss take.

[Abernathy]

Was that in Stratford upon Avon? I think we picked up on him during the GE campaign. "Non-political" spods like these are a bit like so-called ."independent" council candidates, who are all basically Tories or Kippers without the official label. You can take it as read that anyone claiming to be "non-political" is certain to be a tragic right-wing arsehole.

This applies even in (very) public places? He's going to lock up eg spectators at The Open who take a picture of Tiger Woods walking to the putting green?

Ultra-privacy is quite a common thing on the splenetic right. Except no doubt for people everyone knows are wrong uns.

[Andy McDandy]

Possible to read it as only applying to journalists (who all need to be licensed). Seems to be a major concern of them being recorded saying or doing anything that may be used against them at a later date, including anything non-work related.

If applied to the general public, you'[d have utter chaos.

It was indeed. Absolute fruitloop.

[Killer Whale]

Has all the hallmarks of a recently-retired middle manager who has just found out how boring their life is going to be from now on (especially having failed to be elected to the golf club committee yet again), and is in desperate search for a 'role' where they can give the world the benefit of their accumulated skills and knowledge*. School governing bodies and community councils are full of them.

*In reality, accumulated mad, ingrained prejudices.

It probably only applies to "the MSM". Plucky Mr Kipper who spots Socialist Hypocrite Sir Keir in nice seats at the football is probably exempt.

[Andy McDandy]

I just wonder at the idea of their secret politeness police, who wear no uniform yet can fine anybody on the spot for transgressions of an incredibly vague code, those fines funding their entire organisation, and anyone can dob in anyone else, in return for a cut of the fine.

It's a wonderfully circular* economy and I love it.

*Well, more of a downward spiral...
