Up next on the Spectator; Why Working Class Darts Fans Are The Real Elite
Ok this is nice, but at the same time you have to go out and vote.
And you have to understand how FPTP works and vote against the thing you hate the most rather than for the thing you really want – that’s how you unseat Tories. I get a feeling the Tories won’t be calling one of their “elections on our terms whilst we’re high in the polls” anytime soon though.
With all those costumes I thought this was South Thanet on election night.
This has convinced me that the upper middle class have turned.
Funny and yet I bet if you polled the demographic there, an overwhelming majority of them voted for Boris and to ‘get brexit done’
STANDS UP
–
I thought they were saying ‘we hail Boris, we hail Boris!’
Posting about darts and the surrounding culture of it on reddit will get a measured response in the comments I am sure.
Out of the blue and into the red,
Nothing in this game for that scruffy ‘ead
Why hate him when it’s the entire party ideology that is to blame? Look at the way they decimated NHS that we need to lockdown every time 10 people sneezes. A billionaire Chancellor who is hell bent on balancing the books in the middle of pandemic and rising taxes.
Tory party must be removed from power and kept away for atleast 100 years to reverse the damage they have done.
Tories setting it up and we’re playing into their hands.
It needs to be ‘stand up if you hate the Tories’. They want you to hate Boris now, that’s the only reason it’s all allowed to become national news. They want Boris hated so all the smell sticks to him when he leaves.
Then they’ll all go back to voting Tory and this mess will happen all over again.
Looks like bojo’s decision on banning crowds at sporting events just got easier to make.
I am beginning to appreciate darts after this and the great Smith/Rhys Jones sketch ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQrzcu4BrhY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQrzcu4BrhY)) about the game.
This is *the* key demographic for the Tories, by the way.
30-60, Self-Employed, Middle-England, relatively well off but drone on incessantly about how “hard a grafter” they are
This is the group that turn elections *when* they turn up to vote for the Tories but will just as easily turn around and say “They’re all the same, I’m not voting” and stay at home which would swing any election the other way.
If this demo turns apathetic, they wont vote Labour or Lib Dem or anything like that, they just wont vote.
Honestly, I don’t find this funny. The people of the UK are fully responsible for Boris and Brexit. It is one of the most self-inflicted situations I’ve ever seen, and people don’t want to take ownership. The only people I will remotely take seriously doing this are consistent remain Labour voters, and ones who also recognized Corbyn’s flaws.
I don’t think Tory voting toffs are into darts, old boy.
They don’t hate Johnson because he and his kind are deliberately destroying the NHS for profit; or for the tax breaks for the rich; or the systematic abuse and exploitation of them and their ancestors by Johnson and his Etonian class for centuries; nor for the harm Johnson has done to the country through his moronic Brexit bluster and incompetence; nor for the Tory Party’s ongoing campaign to erode and eventually remove all semblance of social welfare introduced by Labour governments to support the poorest and most vulnerable in society.
No, they hate him because, despite the pisspoor example he sets, he’s told them they need to wear a mask and get vaccinated.
Thick cunts braying at rich cunts.
Yet how many of them voted for Cameron, Brexit, May and Boris?
The danger of all of this performative stuff is that it is designed to give people an outlet that they will hopefully exhaust by the time of the next election, ideally with a shiny new Tory for them all to fall for.
Id be intrigued to know had Dominic Cummings not left. If bojo would be floundering as much?
I know Barnard castle was a disgrace. But honestly I start to think that whatever Bojo was paying that lemon wasn’t nearly enough.
He helped bojo see an opportunity in Brexit and capitalized upon it. Somehow got the nation to follow this imbecile with slogans.
Hands,face,space
get brexit done
protect the nhs
(Not saying the covid relevant ones not necessary just that it seems its easier to manipulate/convince an entire nation than i previously thought)
I mean you can literally see it in the latest booster ads “get boosted now”. It just seems flat and has no pzazz live the cummings inspired ones.
Yet the tories will still get voted in in the next election
Did Boris ask three witches in the woods to ‘become a prime minister no one would forget’.
Feels like he’s spent chunks of his life going for a big seat in power only for it to become a endless nightmare and shambles, which isn’t surprising with how incompetent he is
Ah the class attack the puppet not the masters jobby
Once you’ve lost the darts crowd, you’ve lost the election.
Darts fans post 2010 are the reason I (a darts fan) no longer attends darts events.
Fair play on calling Johnson a wank though, although I suspect half of them voted him and Brexit anyway
He’s not “Boris”. He’s bot your mate round the pub.
Well, he might be, if that mate would steal the gold from your fillings and shag your wife behind your back.
But no, it’s the whole fucking party that you should hate. They’re the ones showering shit down on you, not just one person who can’t even get his own name right.
Last time I went to the darts, the crowd was chanting “toilet roll, toilet roll, toilet roll!”, whilst throwing loads of unravelling toilet rolls around…
are people who go to darts championships typically true blue tory voters ?
Was being chanted by the fans at the Arsenal vs Sunderland game last night too.
