:tories: Tories in trouble?

Oppsy.

Yeah but a big slap on the back for consistency(she’s proud of that).
This may be why she avoids oversight committees like the plague.

ah.

Hmmm.
Blacking up. Bad.
Paying homage to a legend from one of the greatest movies ever…
So next up Cosplay is wrong

That is a really tough call without full context.

Yes obviously I get #blackface is a bad thing and I’m short of context here but… there is a very thin line here. Next up, dressing as a Klingon or a Vulcan or

Hmmm a very deep dark rabbit hole.
#blackface bad
Dressing as a movie hero?? Hmm

Hancock still saying they’re going to build 40 hospitals when this doesn’t appear to be completely true.

Nothing these people say is true. You only had to see Johnson’s performance on the Marr show this morning. Clearly making it up as he went along, alternating between barely concealed seething anger, then instantly changing to joviality and mateyness, almost textbook psychopathy.
Hancock also dismissed reports of complaints about Johnson putting his hand up women’s skirts and groping them as his private life, so i wouldn’t take much notice of what he says.

Johnson on Marr was put on this am. I went to another room and got into bed. I was then brought g&t and snacks. I think I had the better option.
Hancock is now slightly saying he wasn’t correct about that earlier comment.

I just want to go live on a small island somewhere I dont have to deal with it all. My anxiety levels are increasing.

What I don’t get, and perhaps @Intiniki can enlighten me, is where the line is drawn on this one… Is blackface in any context unacceptable?

Do we get angry at Robert Downey Jr for his appearance in Tropic Thunder?

Ben Kingsley for Gandhi?

Or Reece Shearsmith for Papa Lazarou?

Hancock is a bean-headed thundercunt.

We really are through the looking glass. James Cleverly in the conference hall today claimed that the Conservative Party were responsible for the formation of the NHS. Never was a man so inaptly named.

It’s pretty unacceptable to me. Including Trudeau so I am not just appalled at Tories doing it.

Ben Kingsley was born Krishna Pandit Bhanji and his father is of Gujarati Indian so think we can let that one go?

What about Papa Lazarou?

Pretty uncomfortable about it to be honest and I think more about some of the stuff that was on TV which I don’t think is good now. We can all change and educate ourselves. Just because we used to think it was ok then doesn’t mean we should ignore people’s concerns now.

Yes but I guess the question is should you apply today’s views to stuff that happened decades ago.

You’re calling for a Dark Age of television if it never challenges anyone. No pun intended.

I’d like to see you keep your eyes open after a couple bottles of claret for lunch
