Owen Jones has received an anonymous email from what purports to be a BBC employee saying that all of the leaders of the parties have agreed to do interviews with local BBC radio across the country, except May who is refusing even to do a pool interview that they could all use. He's trying to get CCHQ Press Office to confirm it.

 

If true then she really is going to ground and only appearing at stage-managed events.

That David Davis needs a good kick in his knackers. You lot should be shitting yourself about having him being involved in Brexit.

At some point you have to look at Lynton Crosby, and let's face it, he's been fucking wank. State of that racist London mayor campaign failure for a start. Strong and stable doesn't really work when it's based on the personality of the leader and she can't be trusted to do fuck all apart from pull random Phil Jones faces.

She's under wraps for the next week and they will just face the protests down calculating that whilst they may not get their landslide a decent majority is better than risking defeat by allowing May out of the bunker.

What she will do if the result is way below expectations is to seal her fate. They will have out at the first opportunity. You can't roll the dice in the way she has done and expect no repercussions if it goes wrong. She's damaged goods and has let Labour back in the game and it's Corbyn that will look the winner in all of this even in defeat.

Jones says he's confirmed that the source of the email is a BBC journalist and that it's true. She is one serious shitbag.

 

She's definitely fucked off doing some BBC4 women's hour thing tomorrow.

Theresa May says this afternoon the timetable for getting immigration down to less than 100,000 is 2022. Tonight David Davies backtracks and days can't be done by 2022.

 

Shambolic. That one might actually seep into the knuckle-draggers' consciousness.

This bluff of companies threatening to move abroad.

 

If Starbucks sell £50m worth of coffee in the UK, but then packs up and fucks off cos they have to pay £5m in corporation tax, then fuck em. Let the greedy bastards fuck off.

 

One thing though, which totally undermines these greedy cunts arguments : there will still be a massive demand for coffee and coffee drinkers with millions of pounds now burning a hole in their pockets.

 

Oh, and now there's also this big fuck off vacuum in the market place, just ripe to be filled by a decent tax paying coffee vendor.

 

You'll be up for the Starfucks chain then:

Good coffee, cookie and celebrity skin flick of your choice for a fiver. No kids allowed.

Reducing immigration is economic suicide.

Yes, I'm sure potentially thousands of redundancies is great for the economy. That sun must be getting to your head.

Short term redundancies from these fuckers could be beneficial, tenancy rates would I imagine drop, the kids who have got barista skills and work on zero hour contracts may just have enough gumption to use their skills and setup their own indie coffee houses.

I left the UK 10 years ago, the coffee thing hadn't really exploded to the size it has now, the market has been created by these fucking behemoths invading the cities, the trouble is the product is generally bland buckets full of shitty coffee.

Australia has had coffee shops for moons cf. neighbours, Starbucks, costa et al are very few and far between in the major east coast cities, they came and got fucked off as people prefer local coffee places, people in the same office, will have their own favourite and there are thousands of independents making a living.

Didn't really know much about Gardiner until recently but I like him. He doesn't give a shit about calling out the media bias and seems on top of his brief.

 

Weirdly enough the coup has brought forward some MPs who would have normally been nowhere near shadow cabinet posts and they have actually outshone the old guard who felt they were so indispensable that their resignations would be a death knell to Corbyn's leadership.
