In the news thread

It’s insane how obvious it is , really is “no fucks given “ and sets a terrible precedent for other fragile democracy’s with power hungry leaders who push for a dictatorship.

Fingers crossed that this is so blatant there is a backlash in the voting booths against trump.

And latest reports on other American news sources say up to 500 sorting machines have been taken out of service. That’s just insane and so fucking corrupt. America really is in a state of chaos you’d think you’d only see in developing and 3rd world countries.

Man that’s nuts

I know the BBC has been accused of bias before and I didn’t think much of it but I think it’s very strange I got a BBC news alert for ‘Democratic National Convention: What to watch for at Biden’s nomination party’ (link).

Usually it’s stuff like the Beirut blast or super-big news events. Weird.

That’ll be an odd one for the republican house. Surely the majority of them see the USPS as a distinctively American patriotic service and wouldn’t want it to be gutted like this

Appalling

I don’t hate many people but I fucking hate these Michael Fabricants with every fibre of my being.

It’s the same as the NHS over here. Institution of the country that everybody loves and relies on, but the government wouldn’t hesitate to sell it off to their mates if they got the chance

They’ve backtracked now and are going to use the teachers grades for everyone after all.

Surely Gavin Williamson muuust be gone now. He’s done nothing but fuck up

I just hope it’s turned a lot of young people that will be able to vote soon against the Tories, if they were so inclined to vote for them in the first place.

He shouldn’t resign or be fired, he should be publicly executed.

He’ll probably be promoted in a few months.

Where’s our fat fuck prime minister by the way. Why aren’t we taking to the streets and burning them out of Downing Street. This has gone on way too long now.

What a dreadful shower this lot are. We should all be calling for several resignations at this point, it’s not even about your political persuasion any more, it’s about the sheer lack of competence.

What a surprise, boris does his usual disappearance act when shit hits the fan! Such a bunch of useless Michael Fabricants.

They really have no idea what to do, it’s like they’re blagging it all the way with Rishi Sunak showing the only bit of competence among them.

Well he’s been stuffed in there after Saj’s aid was removed and he declined to continue in the role once Boris became PM.
He’s Cummings’ guy which must come tagged with a warning label.

Oh yeah it’s a whole Cummings squad in there, can’t trust any of them but what he did certainly contributed to the country being civil during the lock down . Even though he managed to fuck up payment caps and the self employed unfortunately. The rest of them don’t seem to have done anything positive

I’ve got no stake in this. I don’t know anyone who’s doing their A levels but I’m furious about yet another fuck up from these liars. I think I would explode if I was directly affected.

Also this. The sleaze is coming thick and fast now.

Don’t forget that Robert Jenrick isn’t in jail and is still a cabinet minister.

It’s crazy , you’d think they’d have run the result algorithm early and looked at the potential problems. It looks as tho they just went straight in and now this shit show!
Not only that but all the uni places turned down and given to other students. how the fuck does that work out now they have to either turn down the algorithm students and give the place to the u-turn students even though many were guaranteed and signed ?..
Or do they have to honour both set of students and have over subscribed courses - which they probably can’t because of covid?

What a mess
