The alcohol in Parliament debate has turned nasty

Published

on

On Sunday 26 April, Green Party MP Hannah Spencer complained that MPs are boozing at work. Her comments went down incredibly poorly with soused MPs and journalists, but the public overwhelmingly backed her.

Now, the debate has turned nasty, because the only establishment figures left fighting are the grimmest perverts imaginable:

Send in the creeps

Self-confessed mind-paedophile Rod Liddle’s article begins:

I think the best and most succinct description of the Green party was Tim Stanley’s ‘Stalin with a nose ring’. It gives a nod to the witless middle-class skankery of the party’s members and supporters but posits that there might be, underneath, a darker undercurrent.

This ‘dark undercurrent’ he’s talking about is not wanting MPs to drink at work – something the public overwhelmingly backs:

Liddle also said:

I’m sorry Spencer doesn’t like the smell. I suspect her fellow MPs aren’t too keen on the stench of semi-digested kale which emanates from the woman, either, but we have to put these minor inconveniences aside. She represents a party which sees no harm in legalising Class A drugs, but cavils at alcohol. And she does so because alcohol is enjoyed largely by people who don’t like the Greens. It is alcohol as a signifier which annoys her, not the state of being incapacitated by it.

Rod – like your establishment media friends – you’re pretending not to understand what she said:

To make it simple for you:

  1. The Greens have spoken about legalising drugs to remove a source of income for criminal enterprise and to ensure that anyone taking hard drugs does so safely; they’re not advocating for crack pipes in the office.
  2. Spencer very clearly said her issue was with MPs drinking at work – not with people drinking in general.

We’d provide a longer numbered list, but we suspect Liddle wouldn’t be interested in anything past 16.

Menace to society

The next establishment figure to wade in is literally famous for being a drunken menace in Parliament. Here’s what MP Neil Coyle had to say:

First off, fair play to Labour politicians for sticking with the ‘hypno-boobitism’ schtick. Since they first cracked it out, the Green have overtaken them in the polls and nearly quadrupled their membership, and yet Labour MPs are still convinced the attack line is going to land at some point – an attack line which originated with the Sun, no less!

Back to Coyle, people were quick to point out he’s literally the poster boy for not allowing alcohol at work:

As the BBC reported in 2023:

Neil Coyle has been reinstated as a Labour MP, following a Commons suspension for breaching Parliament’s harassment rules.

He was suspended as an MP for five days in March, after a parliamentary probe found he had made racist comments towards a journalist.

He was also found to have engaged in “foul-mouthed and drunken abuse” of a parliamentary assistant to another MP.

Labour sources said his conduct would be monitored by its chief whip.

Mr Coyle, the MP for Bermondsey and Old Southwark, was suspended by the party last year after allegations about his comments to the reporter emerged.

The move meant he had to sit as an independent MP in the House of Commons. He was also banned from bars in Parliament for six months.

The problem with giving MPs access to cheap booze at work is it essentially encourages them to drink.

This is just another way our political establishment is at odds with the public, because Britons are overall drinking less and less. Largely, this is because people’s increased awareness of health and fitness means they understand they shouldn’t feel rundown and tetchy all the time; they should actually feel alive and happy.

Do the MPs attacking Spencer seem alive and happy to you?

Fresh, un-bloodshot eyes

While the attacks on Spencer are getting grimmer, they’re also getting lazier:

We predict that, a year from now, you’ll struggle to find a single MP who publicly condones drinking at work. This is the benefit of having politicians like Spencer who aren’t a product of the establishment pipeline. They point out things that are obvious to the rest of us, but are completely mystifying to the degenerates who rule the country.
