Dr Strangelove (how I learned to stop worrying and love Boris)

If governments didn't ever improve things we'd go backwards with each new one.

Blair made the country feel better and Ireland has improved. Major could've been better than he was but even his own party had it in for him.

 

Fair point,personally I think both sides take turn to f*** things up and any improvement of my quality of living is through hard work and sacrifice and if Blair’s privatisation of part’s of the NHS was improvement i would disagree personally

 

I'm not saying everything Blair did was great, I just think the country felt happier and more united.

It feels divided and bitter now imo.

Having a Brexit vote of virtually 50/50 has created another divide.

It's all very well saying we should accept democracy and the decision to leave ...

... but we democratically went into Europe.

 

B' liar committed us to a war with his pal Bush... it was a huge mistake not sure if it was a lie about weapons of mass destruction, or they were conned by anti-Saddam Iraqis. Either reason is not good.

Blair was good for, education the NHS and for the less well-off.

Bonko said he would get Brexit done, looking at the problems with Northern Ireland, its doubtful that it is done.

He generally was useless at Covid 19 and now will not help the less well-off with energy bills.

He also lies about everything to everyone. I reckon all politicians lie, but I doubt anyone is worse than Bonko.
Whether its partygate, the unemployment, inflation House building and levelling up etc.

 

Personally Blair never gave me any positive feeling’s or financial improvement’s he was a closet Tory, the biggest help I remember of recent times was the introduction of Child and Working tax credit’s by Gordon Brown, as for the EU, we basically entered way back for trade deals not the other crap that was sparodicaly added

 

Ignore the first half of this write up and look at the section starting ‘3 anonymous individuals’ about the nature of the parties at number 10. People kipping over pissed, police making them turn the noise down, beggars belief this mind. Far from just being drinks after work. On the eve of the Duke of Edinburgh’s wedding. It’s shocking this like. Boris is complicit in this and surely has to be gone. It’s in his bloody house man!

The thing for me is democracy said 51/49. The message was we want to change it but not that much. Johnson set off an ideological missile. It isn’t respecting the vote. It’s the far right version not the version of a closely balanced nation.

 

Trouble was mate if the Labour Party and a. Handful of Tory’s had accepted the result in the beginning instead of using every trick in the book to overturn the result who knows what Brexit we would have

 

The Labour Party’s performance regarding Brexit really pissed me off ,every day taking the piss out of working class people and their views,and like I’ve stated before their actions led to the fall of Dennis Skinner
Bastards

 

Apologies if I seem obsessed with Dennis Skinner but he was my late father’s and my political hero

 

Already a thread posted so I have removed the link

Well there is a surprise.

 

No surprise the fat headed silver spoon prick is a compulsive liar.
The fact he's still in power goes to show the world we live in nowadays.

 

The labour party would have not have had a MP in Sunderland if Farage hadn't put up a candidate there. The tories plus Farage votes were bigger than Labour.

Useless Corbyn ( who like a lot of old lefties) was not that keen on the EU, should have had the courage if his convictions and backed May's deal.

 

Yeah I think that’s right and if a handful of Tories hadn’t done the exact opposite and used it to for their ends. That’s why they could reach a consensus cos it dug out the extremes of everything- in parliament and in public. Should never have happened. Parties should have put it in their manifesto policies and stuck to it - not that either ever do. I’d certainly never believe a thing a Johnson manifesto ever said.

 

Does anyone here think Johnson should stay in power after saying he ‘truly believed’ red wine on walls, altercations and vomiting in his house were ‘work events’

 

It was just "high jinks" like the Bullingdon Club days for the overgrown schoolboy Bonko, so nothing unusual for him.

 

Don’t know why you’ve put “ here “ mate, I don’t think anybody anywhere does. Who would be mad enough to replace him at the moment though is another question.

 

It appears the PM believes any gathering with booze involving workmates, in a place they worked, was exempt from his lockdown rules.

No actual work was required, the mere fact that various people were employed in various departments was the only criteria.

So basically anyone could've had a piss up at work providing they pretended it wasn't a piss up.

Staggering how a grown man can spout such nonsense then expect people to shrug and think 'Yes he has a good point'
