    It is harder to take the piss out of people that are trying to improve the lot of people at large rather than those helping a narrow minority increase their share of the national cake often with dubious methods.

    It's always ok to take the piss out of posh stereotypes with the Tory Boy thing - but if Enfield had renamed Wayne Slob Labour Boy there would have been uproar. In fact there was when the L is for Labour, L is for Lice sketch went out.

    It's always been ok to take the piss out of 'posh' folk but if it goes the other way it is snobbery from those Tory Bastards
    Shameless? Benefits Street? Vicky Pollard? Chav Towns?

    The Tory Boy joke, by the way, isn't that he is posh. The sketches were funny because he was a teenager who espoused out of date views and a nauseating deference for the Tories you usually don't see in younger people.

    ...and was there uproar about the L is for Labour/Lice sketch? I remember that sketch, can't find any evidence it was ever denounced as it was clearly a parody of Tory attack ads. Did you just make this up?

    Anyone see Emily "Sausage Fingers" Thornberry on The Marr Show this morning? What a hoot

    I thought her pointing out the fact that Fallon had attended Assad's election party in 2007 was great, myself.

    So you think that her pointing out that Fallon had been on an all party trip to meet Assad trumpe Corbyn's undenied support of the IRA? And do you also think that her replies to Marr over Corbyn's 2011 attack on the UN were satisfactory?

    The way she fumbles her way through interviews and gets "cross" when the interviewer puts something to her that she's not sure about, makes me doubt her Foreign Secretary credentials, meself
    I thought she was great. She didn't lose her temper, she just politely answered the questions. With regards to politicians changing their minds, let's not forget May campaigned to REMAIN in the EU.

    I am fucking livid that Andrew Marr is having Paul Nuttall on his programme next Sunday. UKIP has no MPs, it has less local councilors than the Green Party and less paid-up members - why do we not see the Greens on the BBC? Biased? I think so.

    Labour exist to hate The Tories. Every Labour MP starts their sentences with "The Tories want to...[some made up bullshit]"

    They represent nobody and should die as a party and let someone else take over.

    Not exclusive to Labour though, same sort of thing applies to the Tories too. People like Liz Truss are interchangable faces who stand for nothing. At least the Conservatives have some semi-sensible people in their party, people like David Davis, Jacob Rees-Mogg (national treasure) and Theresa May herself who can actually go on TV/radio and add up or not claim that Mao was a great man.

    Has the thought ever crossed your mind that perhaps this thread isn't your bag and it's probably best to just sit back and read the comments?

    All politicians can be accused of being hypocrites because no doubt they have said one thing and then changed their mind at a later date (this isn't actually what hypocrisy means but this seems to go over the heads of the mouth-breathing fools who parrot on about hypocrites like it means anything). Simply pointing this out is not really clever or relevant.

    The Tories' new slogan going by some of the responses on here should be 'it's always someone else's fault'.

    Can't blame Tories for NHS being mismanaged

    Poor people are too stupid to deserve a decent benefits system

    Can't be blamed for a bad Brexit deal, it's the rest of the EU that are being the problem

    There's literally nothing wrong in the country that we can apparently blame the Tories for, it's always someone else.

    Yeah. It was the Labour Party in the UK who are entirely responsible for the global financial crisis.

    I thought she was blaaaady awful, as is every time I see her on the box getting interviewed.

    Sorry if that's unfair or it hurts anyone's feelings

    To be fair I think she is a pretty awful person too.

    I don't mean that she is a bad person or has bad intentions, she just fails at being a fully functioning human being.

    I'd sooner neither, but if I had to choose between BoJo or Thornberry to be FS, I'd go with BoJo.

    Why do you keep trying to suggest anyone who doesn't agree with your opinion is some sort of crybaby incapable of coping with you having a different opinion?

    Wierd.

    I pop onto this sometimes for an insight into what is going on but unfortunately some of the contributors on the right of the political spectrum seem to have just turned into a parody of themselves. Do they act like this in real life or just on the internet?

    They don't seem any more ridiculous than Corbyn as Prime Minister and Abbott as his Home Secretary. That's the nub of this election.
