I get the impression that if this shower had been in charge in 1939, we would have been on the other side, supporting the nazis and fascists, instead of standing against them.
Boris Johnson leads Her Majesty's Government so I wonder what the queen thinks of his actions.
The man is dishonest, devoid of integrity and an outright liar and people were stupid enough to vote him in to power.
This is all going to turn out badly.

Genuinely scared for America.
Frankie Boyle said the other night, that the Presidential election would decide who gets to preside over the burning embers of the US, from a morphine drip in a concrete silo. I think he was only half joking.
For those of you who liked Mrs Thatcher you might find this quote of hers very interesting giving the latest activities of Johnson and his cronies.
“You cannot have freedom without a rule of law... And if you don't have it, what you tend to get is corruption and that is death to freedom, it's death to truth, it's death to honour, it's death to democracy.”
Margaret Thatcher, 1 October 1996.

At the time I thought Thatcher to be be the very worst possible Prime Minister, with the worst possible ideology, we could ever have in my lifetime. How wrong I was. To be fair to the old cow, she would despise Johnson and his incompetent, corrupt, and self-confessed criminal crew, probably as much as I do.
It is often said that a new prime minister eventually makes the last prime minister look very good. Well in Johnson's case that wasn't hard.
Received a letter from my MP today due to my recent move asking me to raise any issues I might have with him. So I just sent a strongly worded but polite* email asking them to never send me anything again.
****s.

Was always going to happen I think, there are more Irish and Irish descent in the US than in Ireland.
I've just made the schoolboy error of clicking on the comments on a Nigel Frottage FB post that a mate shared. My mate had put some disparaging comment, which was completely ignored by the other 7.5k mixture of bots, nazis and other hideous people.
I'm going to get some more weapons I think, and start prepping because this country is ****ed if those comments even represent a tiny minority. I felt dirty just reading them to be honest but it was the stupidity and ignorance that did it for me, more so than the sly provocative "what aboutism" or the "it might sound racist but" comments that then proceeded to be just about as racist as you can get in one badly spelled paragraph.
Just to be clear,
Covid is Merkels fault...
Reason being that she welcomed all the migrants to Europe...
The migrants then realised that Britain is such an amazing country full of amazing counts, that they would risk everything to get here rather than claim asylum anywhere else.
They then arrived by the thousand, swamping British beaches with their thousands of boats and disappearing into the countryside to spread Covid through the population.
Or being put up in hotels under observation from where they then, somehow, spread Covid through the population.
Damn, and I haven't even mentioned yet how it's also the Poles and those other East Europeans who spread it around because...just because, alright !
And those Asians because there's 16 in a house, so that pushes the cases up...
I hope there isn't a war on the horizon because I'd hate to think I'd be fighting on the same side as the odious ****wits, trolls and general ****s that I had the poor judgement to read the musings of.
Am sad because it kind of affirms my belief that I actually despise my own society, and that people are mostly just selfish meatsacks that I have to share the air with.
Apologies of course to all the lovely people who post on here, because I didn't mean you.
Except Godders, because he's a wrong 'un

But I share your sentiments which makes us two of a kind.
Did you somehow stumble into the Whatsapp group that I’m part of? A mate invited me in three years ago. He’s alright as are a couple of other and I only stay because... well. You know how argumentative I can be. I take them on.
They’re not racist though....
Newsnight interviews with Bernard Jenkin and Bob Neil demonstrated the potential fault lines in New Tory. They look every bit as divisive as those seen in the Labour Party between New Labour and the Corbynites. This could be fun as it has the potential for a major schism.
Just had Jenkins and an SNP MP ripping each other apart over varying forms of British and Scottish independence on Politics Live and going on about the politics of hate (which imo they both rely and thrive on).
In the middle of Jenkins and Julia Hartley-Brewer defending the Governments stance and saying all Brexiteers should be happy that Johnson is taking this action. (According to Hately-Brewer because the EU have violated international law in their treatment of the UK during negotiations - Probably a flavour of the future Government line).
Is it normal to just feel seething hatred towards everyone?
