Whilst at a friends birthday party this past weekend this topic of conversation came up after dinner......
What politician would you actually slap or punch if you happened upon them on a chance encounter, knowing full well you would probably do time for it?.
My 3 choices were
1 : Tony Blair (for lying about WMD and subsequently leading to a friend's death in a phony/needless war, and to wipe that **** grin from his face).
2 : David Cameron (need i explain?, we could be here a while if i do).
3 : George Osbourne (this is the multi millionaire who remortgaged his 2nd home (big farmhouse) outright and then had us (the taxpayer) pay the interest on said mortgage to the sum of £100,00, and he's got the **** cheek to bash on about benefit fraud).
What politician would you like to take a pop at and why?.
Blair - why not that face was made for slapping
Ed Milliband - it might wake him up
Nick Clegg - Just to see how many times you could before he actually objected
Romney, I reckon.
I predict this thread will run...
for...
a...
very...
long...
time!!! 😕
Anyway... Blair, Blair and Blair. Even with all the loony left on here who will undoubtedly say Cameron or Maggie, I still think Tony's gonna come in first place on this poll.
Nothing to do with his cheesy face, everything to do with what he did whilst PM, almost bringing the country to its knees having destroyed all sorts of industries (whilst propping up those that should have been allowed to die long ago with copious amounts of public money), allowing (nay, encouraging) his wife to rip this country off for her/their own personal gain time and time againe, creating himself a golden handshake job to walk into once he'd strategically stepped down as PM, and countless other things!
I'd do time, but I'd be hailed as a national hero for sure!
can you build up power punch like in streetfighter 2 to **** loads of 'em in one go? straight off I'd put Cameron in an institute for putting Hunt in charge of the NHS That's just nuts. Or is it the fact that no one cares about this stuff that is nuts. everyone else is nuts. I'd punch them - punch everyone that doesn't care or doesn't vote or think about stuff.... There is such a bored and uninterested element in society that has no interest or understanding of politics ( I am one of them really) - they/I are the ones that need a slap and need to understand that their opinion is the only one that matters. Need to forage some self esteem and understanding and confidence in ordinary bods that don't vote cos they don't understand what it means or what they mean. I don't see a government initiative in schools for that one.
Nick Clegg is just a little meat-puppet on the end of David Camerons hob-knob so a swift kick to the ball sack would sort both of them out for one jail term.
Lib Dems - Tiz a shame what's happened to them as they do or did have progressive big-thinkers who if given the chance could have made a genuine difference to the economy/state of the nation but who in their right mind would ever consider voting for them now.
Which leaves us with....Ed Milliband in the red corner.........I dunno bout him?, i doubt i could get that worked up about the tea-boy in charge of the opposition - he's a total non-entity and breeds an apathetic reaction from myself.
Mitt Romney?......now we're talking, let the happy slapping begin - quite possibly the most dangerous/deluded idiot yet to make his mark on the world, can i include include every single member of the republican party in this sweeping statement?. Anyone who votes republican is mentally unhinged and should be neutered as a matter of urgency.
Power punch you say?, go for it if you like but we don't want any so called friendly fire or collateral damage........Hmm'kay?.
Lib Dems - Tiz a shame what's happened to them as they do or did have progressive big-thinkers who if given the chance could have made a genuine difference to the economy/state of the nation but who in their right mind would ever consider voting for them now.
Like everyone who thinks they will never make it into power, they have great ideas with no idea how to make them happen.
If we are going International Slapping then Mitt is on the list GW Bush Jnr though I'm sure he wouldn't notice and from down under Tony Abbot
it'd be a powerpunch of education, empathy and self-realization for the thick and unwashed somafunk. That'd be cool.
BTW....this was a genuine discussion between 16 of us after a very boozy dinner and we all agreed to carry it out if the chance ever arises - thankfully one of the 16 is a very successful criminal defence lawyer and has agreed to throw the might of his practice behind us if any of us are stupid enough to go through with it.
We'll see....... 😀
It doesn't sound like a discussion to me, it just sounds like slagging people off, which is easy. Just on another level! I'm certainly no Tony Blair fan, I got a banning off here for starting a thread calling him a certain bad word, which he is. I'd batter thatcher though( if I could find the will to hurt another human being type disclaimer)
Kevevs : semi serious post for you.
So we agree we need an entire rethink of political power along with a genuine evaluation of actual worth vs monetary worth vs social influence in this country otherwise i am afraid i consider we as a generation, will go the way of so many civilisations before us. How can we possibly enforce our demands for change in the current political climate without us as individuals with a genuine grievance being kettled and corralled behind the door of terrorism or branded political dissidents.
I'm actually rather serious about this to be perfectly honest.......bout 15 odd years ago when i was in my early 20's i was elected to my local council which ruffled pretty much every feather possible given my lifestyle at the time. Upon entering into local and town politics i found a staggering ineptness from the elected members to deal with the responsibility of local politics and to be frank the majority of their policy decisions usually involved some personal dealings or possible backhanders which were impossible to prove as everyone closed ranks, I started to lose faith over the years as i was constantly informed "it's always been done this way - why change?" and if you so much as spoke out of turn or vetoed a vote it was reported in the local paper (gossip rag) and as the editor was a close personal friend of the local big-wigs it was a done deal to kick the trouble maker (me!) out.
So? - do we have an answer to our current situation?, I dunno to be honest but i'm going down kicking n' screaming and if anyone would like to join me then hey-ho! - join the bandwagon and we'll see if we can flatten the political/ruling establishment and hopefully we will end up with a genuine democracy, not this mickey mouse system we're allowed to have....yes sir....thank you sir....doff my cap to you sir.....Pfffft! - **** em all.
Can you not say ****? as in ****less?...
Hmmm...obviously not. - sorry 😕
Any Tory mp is offensive to me, though I find Jeremy hunt particularly detestful.
Put all their heads next to one another and punch the first very very hard.
C'mon, 7 hrs into this thread and no-one's mentioned Gove?
Obviously a metaphorical slap.
.....but in which case:
Thatcher
Pickles
Jeremy Hunt
for me.
fuzzhead - you beat me to it. He's my MP too so I'm ready and waiting for my chance... not that you see him round here very much/at all.
That fat useless odious objectionable **** Pickles, his conceited jowly face would get all wobbly too. And then I'd kick him in the nuts for good measure.
Dick Cheney
I'd like to slap a cabinet meeting with an ocean liner.
Gordon Brown - for allowing and encouraging the blowing up of the biggest credit/housing bubble ever and calling it economic growth all the way
George Osborne - for not taking the opportunity on coming to office to do what needs to be done - pop that sucka
C'mon, 7 hrs into this thread and no-one's mentioned Gove
A slap would not be sufficient.
George Osbourne, a face made for slapping.
Tony Blair for wasting the opportunity to roll back some repressive legislation and adding more to it.
Any of the recent Home Secretaries who have kow-towed to requests for extra surveillance and restrictions by our "security services".
Just one?
Frankly, anyone that wants to be a politician should be properly slapped (in a "Revolver", back-of-the-hand way). Repeatedly. Until they get a proper job.
Blair, for everyone elses' reasons, and for dropping us in the brown excrement.
And what willard said: MPs should have done something else before parliament.
they all need a slap, and we do for letting them get away with it
This thread would be easier if it were 'Which politician wouldn't you slap'. All of the tories, Clegg, Blair, Romney, Bush....I'd like to slap all of them very very hard with a baseball bat......repeatedly
In the true spirit of STW, I feel it incumbent on me to point out that the title should be '[b]Which[/b] Politician would you slap?'.
But, anyway, I think the only way I would feel satisfied is if I donned a pair of Kenny Everett style oversized hands and ran along in front of the two front benches at PMQs...
Line them all up for a Falcon Punch
Again metaphorically:
1. Either Herman von Rumpey or Jose Manual Barroso for dis-services to the populations of Europe especially the young/low paid who are now forced to take 20-30% wage cuts or face LT unemployment
2. Those responsible for Circular 10/65 and its subsequent impact on UK education (awaits flaming!) - although a little disrespectful as they have mostly passed away. Its the policy and its impact, not the people themselves
3. Vince Cable - a pat on the back if he had the moral fibre to resign his position and attack current policies from either the back benches or from the labour party. Metaphoric slap in the face for doing this from a senior position within the coalition.
gove
George Osborne
Michael Gove
George Osborne again, just in case he missed the first one
Whilst at a friends birthday party this past weekend this topic of conversation came up after dinner......
Sounds like a really great party.
The Flying Ox +1000
Balls.
What a smug faced antagonistic sneering tw*t. Winds me up a million times more than George Osbourne.
Slap-- Louise Mensch-- i'd charge her for it though
Batter -- Thatcher-- gratis
alex222 : Would the party sound any better if i said we drank 27 bottles of veuve, 6 bottles chablis, 6 bottles petit verdot, 1 bottle of 1963 taylor fladgate vintage port (his age), worked through a decent amount of peruvian flake, smoked homegrown organic t'weed through his vaporisor (birthday present), played pool and foosball down in the bar/games room till 4am, watched withnail & I in the cinema room then went skinny dipping in the pond come sunrise....fall asleep for a while then up late for champagne breakfast followed by a drive up onto the moor with the beaters simca truck to shoot clays then a wee blast round the roads in his 1936 MG TA sports car before retiring to the drawing room come late sunday afternoon for a wee snooze before a late supper.
Of course none of the above actually happened but if it did it would be a rather good party indeed 😉
Probably batter Gove using Osborne
Hunt because he is a ****
Blair- because he is a Hunt
Prefer the bottom one, what constituency does he represent ?
you wouldnt need to Batter gove-- just squeeze and his head would pop off zit like
Piers Morgan.
I know, but the guy just encompasses everything unlikable in a human and triggers some instant rage in me.
There are not enough hands in the world to give the slapping I would want to administer to the lot of them. But, in the spirit of the OP
1. Pob, just for that face
2. Bliar, for being... ...well, Bliar
3. Clegg, for completely intercoursing the Liberal Party for the next millenia.
