A Political Thread pt. 2

[Reiser99]

So the Wall Street Journal had an extremely condescending op-ed about the incoming first lady (calling her "kiddo" among other things) and saying she doesn't have the right to call herself Dr, despite having a doctorate (and 2 masters degrees). WTF is wrong with the American right? They really do seem hate intelligence and gravitate towards crass idiocy. Not even the sort of stupid that knows it is stupid but the sort of stupid that thinks it's clever and all the intelligent ones are actually the stupid ones. Has there ever been a culture more proud of it's ignorance and more disregarding of experience and intelligence? They had no problem with a braindead model trophy wife who posed nude and had all the grace of a **** smear but absolutely detested a Harvard educated attorney and now a woman with a doctorate...

Quite simple really. Braindead model trophy wife isn't a threat to their patriarchal nonsense. Educated, competent women are.

I prefer ripping apart the PM with facts but this gave me a smile.

Are Wales/Scotland?

I've not really been following the news that closely, but I thought Scotland was in a 4 tier system, and Wales came out of lockdown recently?

I don't know about Scotland but I know Wales have announced they are immediately back in lockdown after Christmas.

I could ask my wife but she'll just yell at me saying it changes every 5 ******* minutes (she works cottage rentals throughout the UK).

Dominion looking to sue Sidney Powell for defamation. I really hope they go through with this, it's about time the ******** learned their are consequences to lying. Just wish George Soros would sue them too but that is too much to ask.

 

[ncurd]

Soros is quite happy being a boogeyman and just keeping his mouth shut. Actually I don't know that I just only ever hear his name used by right wing nut jobs. Left wingers never talk about him like ever.

Ministers to treble number of foreign fruit and veg pickers to ease fears of rotting harvests caused by Brexit

Exclusive: Plan to allow in 30,000 seasonal workers a year – despite past claims that UK staff would plug the gap

www.independent.co.uk

Ministers are poised to treble the number of foreign workers allowed into the UK to pick fruit and vegetables, to ease fears of rotting harvests because of Brexit.

In a major concession to worried farmers, 30,000 temporary staff will be given permits in 2021, up from 10,000 this year, under a document circulated for an announcement due next week.

What happened to all the British workers who complained about foreigners taking their jobs? They should be first in line to pick patriotic potatoes.
