‘What the hell?’: James O’Brien skewers Dartford Council leader over food bank photo

  1. Jeremy Kite, the man who never misses an opportunity to have his face plastered all over the place. He used to have his face printed at the back of the parking receipts, a huge banner flying by the side of the council office building promoting recycling for example.

    He lives by the mantra “better bad publicity than no publicity “. I fondly remember an occasion in the Gareth Johnson’s election celebrations about 10 years ago. Johnson intentionally moved to the other side of the room from Jeremy and never even looked at him (source: I was there).

  2. Trust Tories to celebrate a food bank being opened. Well done you melts, it was your fault that there’s a greater need for food banks in the first place.

  3. > “No. Let me tell you what happened James. You don’t know me my friend.”

    Have you noticed how many people say “you don’t know me” and then prove themselves to be exactly who other people thought they were?

    This guy says “you don’t know me” when he’s accused of laughing and smirking while he’s cutting the ribbon to open a food bank. And then proves that he’s exactly the sort of callous cunt who will laugh and smirk while he opens a food bank without giving a shit about the poverty and hunger that his party’s policies have caused.

  4. I mean, doesnt surprise me.

    I live down the road from Dartford and this whole area is an aging community (50+) who all vote Tories no matter what.

    ​

    Even my parents, who are struggling each year and badmouth BoJo at every turn, still vote Tory in everything.

    I know people in this exact area that went from having a nice job, with a nice house, to getting made redundant and now having to scrounge to find enough money to pay off their bills and get food.

    ​

    Yet they will carry on voting tory until the day they die because ‘Imagine under labour though’.

  5. So Jeremy Kite is proud that people who live in the town, that he represents, have to feed them selves from food banks, because the party he represents, let big companies, and the rich, pay people poor wages, so that they have to use food banks to survive. He must be proud that people living in a first world country, are reduced to third world living standards.

  6. Bleats on about not having any time to speak yet probably had a good 60 seconds saying “if you let me speak”, or “one minute to make my point”.

  7. Reminds me of one pos mp that did a food bank phot and claimed parking on expenses. No-one should be celebrating more food banks. Instead, it should be another warning sign. BUT tories don’t give a fuck unless it personally affects them and when it’s time for election, they’ll suddenly care.

    ​

    My local one is fucking useless and does fuck all. Damien Collins is a useless cunt who does fuck all for the town beyond the odd photo op and is a hypocrite when he tries to pander to people. He always looks like he hates the town and I wouldn’t be surprised if he would do the same as the dartford leader.

  8. It makes sense why they view food banks as a positive when you look at it through their “no such thing as society” ideology. This is the society that Tories want where “social services” (like feeding people struggling to afford enough food) are effectively provided at will by individuals and businesses choosing to donate their money and time to charities rather than by the state providing them a safety net. It’s what Jacob Rees-Mogg meant when he called the existence of foodbanks “rather uplifting”.
