Trump playbook.
1. Lie.
2. The number of people who are gullible enough to believe the lie is greater than the number of her current voters who are engaged and angry enough to stop voting for her.

Haven't seen much about it yet either.
I'd guess that it could have been a bit better but it's better than the last lot ever did, and a million times better than the lunatics that 99% of the media seem hell bent on promoting.

A dyslexic ghost?
Assuming that's the reason they only got the first and last letter of c***s correct?

I suspect they don't call her anymore.

Did you get it sorted? I just looked and adult option was on there.
Let me know if not and I'll see if I can give someone at the club a rattle about it.

On behalf of the Club (Sheffield FC) I approve this message!

Agree on Thatcher, as much as I can't stand her! My point is that, without Cameron's party over country gamble, none of the rest follows.
I'm not enough of a political academic to try and judge how much Labour choose to be in or simply feel constrained by the sewer our politics has become!

I can think of somebody who will be surprised to not appear on your list. 😆

This is why, despite all the shocking detritus that followed, I believe history may well judge Cameron as the worst PM ever because it was his gamble to keep all the low information/IQ voters voting Tory that opened the floodgates for Farage's grifting and lies to come pouring through.

I think this just shows how far the Tory party has fallen. They chose lies over politics with Brexit/Johnson and are responsible for the success of Farage's dishonest populism but now too lazy, or incompetent, to change course and do anything other than meaningless insults that idiots lap up.

If Reform are left wing then I think this is where the Overton window currently is!

Me reading the knuckle dragging idiots who replied to his Tweet, and remembering they are all allowed to vote.

Nobody takes her seriously. Stop giving her the oxygen of attention that she craves.

For context....

Agree it looks that way. It certainly feels that way as someone politically to the left of the policies he is talking about.
Weird thing is, sort of point of my OP, that we know he's an intelligent man, who will have bright political minds around him - so, he can't be being that stupid, can he?! 🫨

Julia Hartley-Sewer.
Another poisonous manipulator of morons and bigots who I don't miss now I'm not on Twitter anymore.

One good thing about leaving Twatter is that, just for brief moments, you can almost forget that idiots like Fabricunt exist.

Sorry, yes, I wasn't disagreeing with you (and I didn't know who that was, so thanks for clarifying 👍⚽). I was just pointing out that amusingly there wasn't an actual photo of Sheffield FC on there at all. 😁

The other images are a Sheffield FA side, not Sheffield FC (although it is often used with artistic licence as there are not many early images of Sheffield Club sides.)

I'm sure Farage will burn it all down, at least for the majority, while he stands on the roof passing all the items of value to his wealthy mates!

Agree. But, a lot of those votes were from Tories too. I'm just disappointed that he's gambling on it being harder to lose votes from the left so he's appeasing those on the right - rather than using 5 years to act like a Labour government and gamble that improving people's lives will win elections.
comment in response to
post
I think we're going to have to agree to disagree on that one, even as unimpressed as I am with this Labour government, so far!
As I said, a choice of s*** parties at the moment, when there are better options but I don't know how we get low IQ/information voters to vote for them though.

The hard part to factor in is always, what about the majority of people that we don't hear from, who have little to no interest in politics but do, or at least may do, vote at election time. So often on social media I think we forget that demographic because we don't hear their voice here.

I'd say mostly, it's not that hard. In my everyday reality, it's quite simple: show people respect to be who they want to be and get on with their lives.
As far as Starmer's strategy goes - it doesn't seem good. Certainly in terms of politically engaged groups he's losing more than he's winning.
comment in response to

I understand what you're saying, but they're still clearly better than the Tory or Reform options and the sad reality is we have a brainless electorate that will swing further to the right.
Anyone left of centre seems to have a choice between a range of s*** sandwiches, just from various animals!

The whole trans thing is a minefield that isn't always easy to navigate, but his method appears to have been to stick on a pair of Doc Martens and randomly stomp through it, to sweep up the votes of a few hard of thinking voters.
comment in response to
post
He is definitely giving that impression.
Ironically, my vote is not totally safe, while that brainless gump is never going to vote for anything other than the most hateful populist on the ballot paper. (And as "hard man" as Starmer might try to appear, that will never be him.)

Fair 👍
Generally, I think the only way you can try to stay sane is to laugh sometimes anyway.
comment in response to

My first thought is to laugh too.
Then I remember that his vote counts exactly the same as mine or yours.

My social media choice now appears to be, either feeling like I'm politically to the left of Karl Marx on Twitter, or to the right of Thatcher on here!
Any sort of compromise or realism appears to make me evil personified to the cults of Corbyn, Trump, Boris, Farage etc.
