Well since you tagged me (thought the tags didn’t work?), I would add a qualification to @Welshie ‘s first sentence; if people are happy, they want their political leaders to stay in the background and get on with the job without making waves. But throughout the world, many people are not happy. Many people are desperate: Which is why they are voting for the likes of Trump, LePen, the Italian bird, Geert Wilders etc. Another observation; when electors vote for the radical left - like the Greeks with Syriza a few years ago - the world’s institutions unite to snuff them out. Would certainly have happened here if Corbyn was PM. When they vote for the radical right, that suits the international oligarchy, so the IMF, ECB etc., look the other way. Rant over. Hasta La victoria siempre. You ****s.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said he would rather a Joe Biden presidency over Donald Trump ahead of the US election this November. Mr Biden was the more experienced, predictable person, he said in remarks sure to raise eyebrows. Before Mr Trump's first run for president in 2016, Mr Putin had praised him as "outstanding and talented".
Unlike the newspapers in Europe, Putin and every serious leader is aware that Trump says whatever the crowd likes to hear. Its white noise. His actual policies are really boring and standard, he will be offended by these remarks though.
Had a very small bet on Galloway at 4.6 on Betfair. Now in to 1.75. Sounds like turnout will be high for a by election. Absolute cesspit of a place. Deserves a Galloway as dreadful a person as he is.
Muslims are the least communist ****ing people in the world man. Why they rushing out to vote for the Workers Party of Communist England or whatever **** he runs now. He's not even confident enough to be bald in public, hides it with a hat. Did they see him strip naked, get drunk and meow on big brother?
Can’t say I’ve given it loads of attention but his plan for Rochdale appears to be Make Gaza Great Again. Personally I’d want the potholes fixed and access to a GP but we can’t expect luxuries.
He is a monumental prick, but a very smart guy. My old mate, a black cab driver, was one of his regular listeners and callers when he had a phone in show at night on LBC. Could never get the better of him in a debate apparently, whatever the subject. Come to think of it, didn’t he run rings round a US select committee one time?
I reckon they are quite communist. The bloke in the Algerian butchers always calls me brother, the only other person who regularly calls me that is Mick Lynch.
Its easier to come across as smart when you have a producer screening calls, you're ready for a debate against a fella on his lunch break, or a retired person, on a topic you have read up on. He also has a bombastic speaking style, doesn't require breaks and can overpower a caller. It all helps someone who's an idiotic sell out ****, appear like a dedicated, intelligent politician.
Labour wins another two by-elections. They're winning but I'm beginning to wonder wtf they actually stand for. They look weak as piss in terms of character, values, vision, and leadership. One nation Toryism looks dead. Instead of making the case for centre-right policies whilst fighting the bigotry and culture wars of parties like Reform, they thought they had to out-do them with the same narrative and ALL they've managed is to hand their voters to them They've literally become the PR machine for Reform and they're that thick they'll carry on doing it. A lesson in how not to do politics if you're trying to be a credible party on the centre-right.
