Twitter is hilarious - rumour on there is the Boris Johnson's baby with Carrie Symonds is not his baby and is actually Zac Goldsmiths.
The left wingers have access to social media, but they just haven't quite figured out how to use it properly. They post utter ****e tbh. I'm talking far lefties here, not ye uncle joe who wants a bit more red in parliament.,
Not sure why you say "left wingers" as you've described the majority of the people who post political things on wider social media. Most don't bother to fact check they just forward it on to the next bunch of people. It's not a left-wing, right-wing or centre thing it's a people thing.
Because they're currently not in government, the opposition are always more desperate, aggressive and whiny in their criticism of the people in power, who they despise. As soon as the left are in government again, or as close as they can get to being in government with a moderate centrist representing them, they will suddenly become completely ignorant to every single minor infraction the government makes, then the right wing will be the obnoxious twats pointing out everytime Kier farts in the wrong direction. Is that a detailed enough answer for you?
I know - but he asked me why I specifically mentioned the left. As much as you all act like it on occasion, you're not a bunch of idiots, I trusted you could make the logical leap that all political posters are the same.
See you've made a mistake again like all people on such topic. Assuming what side they are on. If it helps I'm on neither side. Voted for Brexit. Spoiled my ge ballot as none have the quality to run a country. Hence our society in its current form
All I can say is politics and the political system is utterly unfit for purpose and has been for about 40 years. Possibly longer. Boris could, as per Black Mirror, **** a pig on live TV and there wouldn't be a thing the electorate could or would do about it.
I didn't mean "you" as in "you're a left winger" I meant "you post on not606" mate. I was trying to say that whoever read my post on here is intelligent enough to understand that all people who post politics mostly don't have a clue, I didn't feel a need to cover every single base to avoid hurting people's feelings. I don't have a clue what side you're on, but I am often called Tory boy on this site by the left wingers who dot this little place and I didn't vote for neither Boris nor Theresa, have been an active member of the Labour Party attending events and when Corbyn got elected even shifted over to supporting the Libs instead of Tory. If anything, in the past 3 years the Left wing has made me more conservative than I've ever been in my life, they are the absolute best in the business for turning people right wing as possible.
It is a poor system we currently operate in the UK but I think proportional representation is also a bit ****. I've lived under it now for about 3 years here in Norway and it's not great. I think maintaining how we run the house of commons is important, as much as it can appear a show you don't know how good the Commons is until you live under a different system. When I try to engage in politics here and tune into the Storting, it's like an Oxford address. Rich, uninterested, boring people take turns to walk up to a pedestal and relay their long drawn out theses on the current situation. It's silent, unemotional, boring and the common people are so, so disconnected from politics. Never in my life have I experienced so few people who vote, find anything to talk about or show a single sign of interest in politics than here in Norway. We do some things right, some things wrong, we gotta blend the two. I think a ton of what we do in Britain is like that, we do so much right but we need to blend it with the things other countries are getting right and adapt.
See its not just the voting system that is wrong. The whole setup is wrong. I don't believe in career politicians. We need more professionalism in politics and not a "boys club". For example to me the education secretary has to be someone who had actually worked in education and not some gimp.
Here's a simple fix - every politician voted for puts down 3-5 mandatory promises. These promises are then centrally logged so that the public can get absolute visibility of the key issues they voted them in for. If no action is taken within a pre-determined period of time, that politician forfeits their role and the the right for that party to contest the constituency, with a new vote happening. This applies to local and central government. If politicians can't be trusted to behave with honesty and integrity, we force the issue. The overall issue is that politicians spend half of their time working out what to say that will gain the most favour, and the other half of the time saying it. There is no, or little, actual actions that mean anything. If we create a culture of honesty and transparency, we will gradually start to encourage better people to want to be politicians, and hold those who simply lie to win votes more accountable. The secondary, larger problem with the UK political system is the millions upon millions of dozy, ignorant morons who are allowed to vote. British people are genuinely up there with the very worst in the world. Lazy, entitled, snowflakes galore, who demand freedom of ****ing everything yet take offence at the slightest comment.
I agree and have ALWAYS been confused about this. My simple baby brain when I left school was - the education secretary was a teach, the health secretary was a doctor. But, no, it's a guy who graduated from Oxford with a first in economics. Makes no sense.
This is also 100% on the money. How the **** you can have an Education Secretary suddenly becoming Transport Minister or Healthcare Secretary is beyond baffling. Every position at the very top should not be a politician, it should be an expert. From there, you start to understand how pointless and corrupt politics is at its' very core. They don't keep the country going, we do - in SPITE of politics, not because of it.
Apparently both Rafa and Pochettino have sanctioned a deal for Coutinho. Pochettino has apparently said he wouldn't want to take over until after the season is finished.
