Off Topic Politics Thread

I hope so. They have been so bad recently.

I'm not even going to try to get into work tomorrow through the chaos and have taken the day off...

I dont understand how First can own both the trains and bus service around Southampton but not organise a proper replacement bus service...

 

Did he tweet something political....to which then he quit?

I think I can. They can't afford it. That's why they'll probably be nationalised too.

 

But when labour said they would nationalise the railways the MSM and the Tories poured scorn on it.

Bunch of absolute tossers. I’m embarrassed to be British these days .....

 

People have said we should celebrate like VE day when all I feel is that this is more like Dunkirk. Beaten and broke with a frightenedly uncertain future.

I cannot bring myself to accept Brexit and to forgive the selfish, racist bastards who voted for it.

I will despise them forever. The bastards.

 

Of course they did. Then reality came about.

Baroness Scotland ?? Who is she FFS. Who voted her in ? We don`t want her. Awarding bungs to her pal, Lord Patel of Bradford. I so want to get rid of this system and all the tossers in it.

 

Happens with bus routes all the time, especially in London - companies make impossibly low bids to win contracts, then can’t deliver without cutting costs. Turns out they can’t reduce costs without hurting services. Who knew?

 

On the other hand if you wish to get from your house in (say) Hampstead to (say) Padstow Pfeffel and pals are more than happy to provide a subsidy. Saves a few hours sitting in the Range Rover on the M5.

 

She's got a history of some dubious activity. Still in a job though.

 

Private Eye report regularly on her self centered and dodgy antics, done so over years now. Sadly shes got form for accusing any critics of 'racisim'.

 

Just over 24 hours before we all have so much more sovereignty to benefit from.
I think I will use mine to pass a very quick law, stating that Liverpool FC players can’t run faster than jogging pace, when playing us.
Oh and You’ll Never Walk Alone. Another law making refs start games before they finish the song, instead of indulging them every game.

 

Tomorrow is the end of our formal membership of the European Union and Boris Johnson is keen to press on with the trade deal with the EU as soon as possible. He has said it will be a hard series of discussions but he is extremely confident that his chosen negotiating team have the necessary skills, intelligence and grasp of international politics and business to bring about a successful conclusion to the talks.

I'm not so sure .....

 

They all look the same. It's not a version of this même that's doing the rounds is it?

 

With Keir Starmer apparently way out ahead with Labour members ( 71% was mentioned ) perhaps it should become official party policy to rejoin the EU. It would attract a good proportion of the LD vote and a smattering of Tory Remainers too.

 

Put an unruly mop of blonde hair on each of them and you have Johnson.

 

All this talk regarding the Tories nationalising some parts of the railway is confusing. When the Labour Party said they were going to nationalise it you were all for it. Now the Tories have started to nationalise the failing franchises you are criticising them. What on earth would you expect them to do? Surely you would criticise them if they took no action? I know they poo poohed the Labour Party for wanting to nationalise the whole system. To my knowledge they don’t intend going back on what they said. I just don’t see what they could do other than what they have! I think if they nationalise the southern it would be for the best. No one else has tried to do away with the guards that to me doesn’t make sense not having guards! But hey what do I know.
