Mr_Danger Posted June 11, 2024 Posted June 11, 2024 “Quad bikes for the homeless! They’ll kill themselves they say, well if they do, problem solved!” “Dirt bikes for the Rwandan bound immigrants, they’ll kill themselves they say,….” Etc. Quote
Keith Houchen Posted June 11, 2024 Posted June 11, 2024 Someone from Labour, probably Yvette Cooper, was on the telly the other day talking about the quad bike and scooters stuff. She was saying how currently when they get seized, loads of them don’t get crushed and taken off the streets, they get sold at police auctions and quite often bought by or for the person they were seized from, and for a cheap price. And that’s the “Potholes and dogshit” stuff that will resonate with voters. Starmer has just said the Tory manifesto is a “Jeremy Corbyn style manifesto” where they are just putting anything in that sounds good. So it’s fully costed and he would stand on it and endorse it then? Quote
Paid Members BigJag Posted June 11, 2024 Paid Members Posted June 11, 2024 Is Starmer having a dig at Corbyn there? Was Corbyn as much of a fool as these people seem to think he is? Quote
Keith Houchen Posted June 11, 2024 Posted June 11, 2024 Just now, BigJag said: Is Starmer having a dig at Corbyn there? Was Corbyn as much of a fool as these people seem to think he is? It all feeds into his “Changed Labour Party” shtick. “I’m not the tories and I’m not Corbyn”. BBC have already said a few times that it’s odd given how he twice endorsed Corbyns manifesto’s. Quote

Max Power Posted June 11, 2024 Posted June 11, 2024 Looks like my home town has had the full Farage Experience today - but instead of throwing milkshake, our lads lob concrete. Not sure that's the best method, but with the price of milkshakes up here I'm not surprised. Quote

Just made sense to me as you have Beyern Munich. I remember realising a few years ago that it was Atletico Madrid and not Athletico Madrid. Brilliant. Quote

Members SuperBacon Posted June 12, 2024 Author Members Posted June 12, 2024 He means the corporation, not the service I'm not trying to defend him, but he was making the point about his parents prioritising his private education over things like that, and it's a fair example I think. "When you are wealthier than the king" What an opener. Quote
Paid Members FLips Posted June 12, 2024 Paid Members Posted June 12, 2024 Not being able to afford Sky and not getting Sky because your parents are saving for boarding school aren’t the same thing, but I get the point he’s trying to make. Class opening line. Imagine being wealthier than the King and trying to relate to people cos you like Star Wars and didn’t have Nickelodeon as a kid. Quote

To be fair to Sunak, he never uses the word sacrifice, the journalist does. He's just saying that his parents prioritised his education and so didn't spend money on other things (that his parents probably thought were frivolous, but he's not going to say that). He's hardly trying to claim he's hard up. I take much larger issue with his use of the word "famously". -5 seats for that, Rishi. Edited June 12, 2024 by Duke Quote
