Off Topic The Politics Thread

My late mum would come home from work and would say that she met Maggie today. She would always stop and chat to her. Really made her day. Hugely respected within the MOD. I can’t say that for the ones after.

 

Are you still here? I thought there was a game on today.

 

So good parties were thrown in the streets celebrating her death. Now i dont personally agree with doing that but many did.

 

Cabinet meeting at 2pm. More restrictions coming?

 

Lets cheer ourselves up and have another listen

 

I think that said more about those that thought it acceptable to celebrate the death of a spent old woman with Alzheimer’s than about Thatcher herself.

 

Thats how well thought of she was up north mate but thats been done and dusted numerous times on here.

 

Not as catchy but some tunes here..

 

I will give her that she was head and shoulders above what we have today. She believed in what she promoted, even if she was an awful ****.

 

Thank **** for these newspapers for once daring to step on Johnsons toes. Its great that the pics enable people to make their own judgements and then even act upon them like with the North Shropshire by election.

 

I was there when her hearse went by and some people turned their backs. Many weren’t even born when she was in power. Stupid really.
My pet hate was Tony Benn, I could never agree with him. I then heard him on radio discussing his life and politics. I was sad when he died and I will read his book at some time. I don’t take it personally… even Jezza!

 

It will be the end of Boris if he goes too far.

 

Indeed. In my defence, I didn’t bring it up again.

 

True dat

 

Think something will have to be done by the looks of it

 

That about the benefits of being in both markets in NI says it all. Those same benefits for business in NI, plus the benefits for most people, would clearly also apply to the whole UK, plus us Brits living outside the UK.

 

100 grand is chump change kiwi considering you can earn 100x returns on that in the form of some contracts

 

His cabinet will reel Boris in now.
They can use this to make so unpopular that he has to go/ be unseated.

Not looking forward to the announcement at all

 

Do you mean if he goes too far in protecting public health?

 

The one thing I have learned from this pandemic is how f###ed some people are in our population. He will never do the right thing in some peoples eyes.
Boris is damned with whatever he does. If he locks down or not you will get the same people moaning.
As for your public health quote…. I will just say if we lock down to protect the public, don’t come back on hear in 6 months moaning about economic problems or other things caused by a lock down.
