"Traitor" "Dirty cunt” “What about Savile?" "Protecting pedophiles"

Will Sue Gray be investigating who inspired these thugs?
Thankfully only one poll recorded a Savile bounce for the Tories.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Margin for error stuff, wasn't it, after the last one had a very large lead?

[Tubby Isaacs]

Yep.

[MisterMuncher]

It'll definitely come to a head somewhere along the line.

As I've said before, most of this has a hard core of "true believers" and a much larger body of petulant, hateful assholes who are just in it for the gang feeling and a bit of a scrap with people they hate anyway

[davidjay]

To repeat what has been said before. Johnson is a journalist. He knows full well the power of words. He knew when he gave that reply who his target audience were and what their response would be. He took a QAnon conspiracy theory off Facebook and into common usage. This is the Prime Minister we're talking about, doing what violent thugs have been doing for decades - anyone disagrees with you, call them a peedo. He's given the mob credibility; the next stop will be to storm Parliament.

What's the running total of Tory MPs who say he should apologize/withdraw?

David Davis, Tobias Ellwood, Julian Smith, a few other saying Julian Smith is right. That's about 9 or so. Pathetic.

[Bones McCoy]

It's what happens in Banana Republics

Let's be honest - it's got him out of a hole. They're loving it.

Sunak is the cabinet member I can remember coming close to criticising it and it wasn’t great.

They are all responsible for it.

Ask what a functional state would do:

We might expect the police to pay a little more attention and protect the public better.
We've now seen Whitty and Starmer menaced in the street with no followup.
The Met's priority appears to be placing the ledger of Johnson's misdeeds in protective custody.

You know he was saving it for an election though. Shows how desperate he is that he’s playing his trump cards (pun entirely intended) now.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Yeah, it's completely unprecedented for the police to have to distinguish between facts in different cases.

[Tubby Isaacs]

[Watchman]

Having to send out even more junior ministers, I assume the more senior ones are keeping out of the way, although he does work for Mad Nad, so that explains it

[Youngian]

Let’s not forget the real victims

[Tubby Isaacs]

Paulie doesn't even have an example of a high profile egregious lefty hypocrite there? Who does he mean? Some people on Twitter? He's also rather missing the role of the Prime Minister in what happened to Starmer and Lammy.

Does Zarbo really think egging was something that only happened to Jez?

[Youngian]

I’ll come clean and confess they’re aren’t enough tosses I give that Farage gets barracked while campaigning. Rees-Mogg encircled and bullied while he goes about his business is deeply obnoxious and shouldn’t have to put up with it. But no PM triggered it.

[Andy McDandy]

JRM paraded his son through an area he knew was crawling with protesters in order to make a point. What was it anyway, bring your child to work day? Given how he's used them as electioneering props (with a certain amount of "don't say anything nasty in front of the children", I'd say his shit was of his own making.

Also, attacking politicians - it's a graduated thing. An egg is one thing, a screaming mob is another.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

An egg is one thing, a screaming mob is another.

Especially in the wake of the assassination of two politicians.
