Calling Cards of Morons

People who treat supporting political parties like supporting their football team.  It's become particularly prevalent over the last decade and it does my head in.  The fact that support for parties should always remain massively conditional seems completely lost to some people.

An extremely accurate summation of Politics' wee area of the overall dumbing-down of the populace. What is even worse is that this arrogance runs both ways - look at Labour's continuing confusion why they're fucked north of the border, and why so many members* are leaving Keef, Mandy and the rest** to "unify"*** a Tory tribute act down south.

* Including YT - still (always) a Socialist, I'd not remain a member of a party which excludes the likes of Ken Loach**** even if it were free.

** I'll give anyone an even money shot that Bliar and/or Broon get wheeled out at next years Conference.

*** read, "shed a massive percentage of members who might not like hearing Tory policies from a "Labour" Party who don't appear to know the meaning of the word "opposition"". A percentage, moreover, which I would be willing to bet contains a high number of those members who got out on the streets and knocked doors to deliver a message in 2017 which would have led to a better future, had Yer Kinnocks, Ummunnas et al not worked from within to protect the status quo.

****Yes, I'm a fanboy, but I've known Ken for twenty years and a kinder, more decent human being you'll never meet.

It's another move in our society towards Americanism.

It's certainly reasonable for people to treat politicians with varying degrees of contempt, but the operative word is varying. Anyone who claims that there is no fundamental difference between different political parties or representatives and think that this S3 Modern Studies level of analysis marks them out as insightful is indeed a verified moron.

"Hi, I've noticed that you're charging £1.99 shipping for this item, but I've done my own research and the Royal Mail would only charge you £1.83 for this, so can you explain this discrepancy? Your answer will affect whether or not I buy from you".

Thanks for outing yourself as being a fucking nightmare to deal with, Karen. On to the blocked buyers list with you.

Here's where I keep them. Another couple of those and I'll be able to afford a wild weekend of powdered sugar and a firm handshake from a slightly-underdressed manual worker.

One of the major innovations that BF has brought to the club - everything in cash, and a second set of books for the "loans".

The answer should be “ Unless you’ve found a way of magicking up packing materials then you can f**k right off”.

f**k that. Get those counted in assorted bank bags, take to the bank and don't lose a percentage of all that sweet, sweet Sterling.

I think in Switzerland, you can literally deposit coins at certain machines at your bank. Not sure why this isn't a thing more widespread.
