A fitting dish, given how many senior tories have likely already had questionable run-ins with bits of pig you wouldn't want to eat...

To the fucking moon. There's a million gullible morons out there who would literally and figuratively lap that shit up.

Autistic children are autistic because their parents are crap at parenting - Official

A councillor has been suspended by the Conservative party after she made comments suggesting parenting skills were partly to blame for autism cases.

Angela Sandison told Solihull Council's children's services scrutiny board meeting that some mothers should be encouraged not to spend much time on their phones.

Ms Sandison has since apologised and stepped down from the committee

The board's chairman said on Twitter she had also had the Tory whip removed.

Michael Gough said: "The leader has informed Angela Sandison of her suspension from the Conservative group, pending further investigations as a result of the comments made at the children's services scrutiny meeting last week."

Just another case of "Mental illnesses are all made up. Pull yourself together and get on with it" which seems to be prevalent among Tories.

Malcolm Offord, who runs a private equity firm in Scotland and who has donated more than £100,000 to the Conservative party, has been given a peerage and will join the government as a minister in the Scotland Office.

Populism.

This Offord guy gets mobbed when he walks round Stoke on Trent or Hartlepool. They carried him on their shoulders to Westminster and said "Put this guy in the Lords and give him a ministerial post now, Boris!"

The care for those with Mental health illnesses only existed during lockdown….once that ended it was “made up” again.

The joke's worn a bit thin now. Can the grown-ups please come back...

An ambulance driving forumite in another place has reported the cretinocracy is now writing to ambulance drivers, who have class C on their licences, inviting them to become lorry drivers. These are the same ambulance drivers that we have such a surplus of the BBC is reporting in NE England and in Scotland squaddies are having to fill in for them at weekends.

You really couldn't make this shit up.

A few years ago, someone joked that parents could solve the problem of affording childcare by all the mums becoming childminders and basically billing each other.

Joked, I add.

Anger has been expressed after a Conservative police, fire and crime commissioner suggested women need to be more “streetwise” to protect themselves from police officers abusing their power to rape and murder them.

Philip Allott, who is responsible for North Yorkshire, said women should be aware breach Covid regulations – the ruse Couzens used to abduct Everard – was not an offence for which one should normally expect to be arrested.

So women, first of all, need to be streetwise about when they can be arrested and when they can’t be arrested. She should never have been arrested and submitted to that. Perhaps women need to consider in terms of the legal process, to just learn a bit about that legal process.

Egghead Kwasi Karteng has been talking about a new paradigm we're moving towards of high wages, hence this tricky transition period.

Making it up as they go along.

[satnav]

Whilst Tory ministers talk about a high wage economy many of their policies are actually pushing wages down. The school where I work has recently been taken over by an academy and the first thing they have done is cut the wages of teaching assistants by 10%. Given that the government is committed to forcing more schools into becoming academies this will mean thousands of teaching assistants are set to see their low wages get even lower.

It's fine as long as someone can make bank off of it. Freedom innit.

Oliver Dowden tells us Tories keep taxes low, that's "where their heart is".

They tried this lark in the nineties after they whacked taxes up.

It's important to keep in mind the case of Jean Charles de Menezes. The disparity between what he actually did, and what the police (and subsequently the press) reported he did was stark. The conclusions drawn from said disinformation will tell you everything you need to know about how doing nothing wrong will protect you, and how the Great British public will react to anyone not instantly obeying the fuzz.

That would be Manchester on Tyne, presumably.

All #Northengland looks the same to them.

At least he's not trying to get there from Waterloo.
