I had just moved from London to Manchester in 1990, but I remember some voting scandal at the time. Was it John Taylor we're both thinking of?

Moved to Manchester in 1990, wowzers that must have been fun. Yes John Taylor 🙂

The candidates:

LOL, yep, it was decidedly different.

After 10 years of London's hustle and bustle, the next 10 years in Manchester was much more relaxed... almost holiday-like.

Of the choices, which would be the first "insert some obscure WOKE category here"? In the US we try to hard to be diverse that we hire based on race, ethnicity, gender, and if possible, confusion about any and all of those categories. It's essential to appear to occupy the Moral High Ground. First Transgender 4 star general, first Openly gay press secretary, (even made sure she was black to cover the race part as well-bonus woke points)

If you folks don't hire based on things like that, what criteria would you use? I mean, what else is there?

They do in the UK and it was also the first thing i thought when i saw the OP. You can safely dismiss all the white people from that list.

I wonder if all the candidates are trying to earn points through Russophobia?



Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s answer to a media question on British Foreign Secretary Elizabeth Truss’ anti-Russia rhetoric

14 July 2022 18:27

We have commented many times on Foreign Secretary Elizabeth Truss’s anti-Russia remarks which are invariably steeped in painful aggression and nationalism, that is, Russophobia. Now that she has joined the race to become the leader of the ruling Conservative Party in an effort to fulfill her compulsive ambitions, she has begun spewing threats towards our country and its leadership and wants to achieve a “Ukrainian victory” over Russia. Her ambition alone to “lead the free world,” in an effort to resist Russia, speaks volumes. She looks like a second-rate politician afflicted by megalomania. And she is doing all of this instead of addressing the issues at home, which are plenty.

This collection of empty slogans vocalised by a raging Truss clearly shows that, in fact, she is either unable to spot the serious crisis in the economy and in domestic politics in a country whose government she is striving to lead, or she simply does not know how to overcome it and is trying to distract voters. Clearly, the well-being and living standards of ordinary Brits are not among her priorities.

Our response to belligerent outbursts by the British Foreign Secretary, who prefers riding tanks over engaging in serious diplomacy, and her determination to “defeat” Russia, is straightforward – go ahead and try. Many have tried in the centuries-old history of our country. As everyone knows, intelligent people learn from other people’s mistakes. Liz Truss could learn from her own mistakes.

The vast majority of British don't give two hoots about Russians, they live a long way away and it was only during the cold war and NOW when they are pointing missiles at us and threatening us that we are angry, anyone would get angry if some idiot pointed a gun and them and said he was going to shoot them, fear turns to anger and rage remember that.

So there is NO Russophobia in the UK except that brought in by migrants from eastern Europe many of whom still fear Russia after being under it's influence during the cold war.

As for political rhetoric most politicians will talk out of there anus if they think it will gain them votes, they are the prostitutes of the world that do there dirty work with there mouth's while other people have to often clean up the mess they leave behind.

Same thing over in Russia unless I miss my guess except that Putin has rigged the system and can't be ousted barring a coup.


And hey there are loads of people that have link's to Russia and even the Royal hillbilly's down in Buckingham palace do.

The reason that Britain never really helped the Romanovs back then (though most Brits would definitely have done so) was simply this, the sitting king of England feared that his cousin the Tsar actually had a better claim to the Throne of England than he did and so did not really want to bring another member of the family, another king here as well as the fact that like during the French Revolution or the Portuguese revolution they feared it may be contagious and could spread here as well, well that and the fact the bank of England was holding the Romanovs fortune worth perhaps about two trillion today or somewhere in that region and if the Romanov were out of the picture then after then the British royal family had a pretty good claim to that fortune as well.

So there is actually no great hatred of Russia here despite Russia's apparent hatred of Britain which most Brits are only now learning about though that may change as Fear and outrage turn into hatred eventually so let Putin and his cronies continue to threaten us and see how long our tolerant streak lasts.

"Our response to belligerent outbursts by the British Foreign Secretary, who prefers riding tanks over engaging in serious diplomacy..."

Whereas Russia prefers riding tanks over Ukraine to engaging in serious diplomacy?

May you give at least one example when Putin threatened the United Kingdom?

Putin has offered the West the path of negotiations for many years (the last time at the end of last year).

a reply to: turretless

By "negotiations", read "capitulation to my demands". Surely?

a reply to: turretless

Almost nobody in the UK is Russophobic. We just don't like dictator thugs like Putin - another sufferer of Small Man Syndrome.

a reply to: TerraLiga

Indeed. Like there are no such things as "Hitlerophobic" or "Stalinophobic".

Cos it's just a given.

He posted it again without the trigger words.
If the mic gets switched off when an interviewer asks the running candidate difficult questions, it is obvious he has great luck or has a minder covering his back. That's who then.
