Off Topic Politics Thread

[- Doing The Lambert Walk]

Tories will be decimated. This will be a bloodbath. Only the fully indoctrinated right wing press reader has any sympathy left for the Tory party.

And even loads of them will vote Reform.

BBC now running with Sunak telling cabinet at 4pm that he's going to see King Charles to dissolve parliament and call an election.

Expected election date of July 4.

King Charles? Still can’t get my head round thar. Always makes me think of this guy...

I am not traditionally a Labour supporter, but I will be for this. There is no way I can see our most famous Saints fan still living at No10 on July 5th.

I don’t think Craig David is standing…

I don’t think Craig David is standing…

I'd like to fill him in (Rishi, not Craig!)

So it's official. How exciting

So the stage is set.

Rishi has no job on July 5th, so has a chat with Dragon to buy a 50% share in the club, then vows to plummet ½ of his father-in-law's fortune into the club.

To be fair, love or hate his politics, as an ex chancellor, he wouldn't do too bad*





*in theory

Now this one I am much more skeptical of, but it would be utterly hilarious.

Rumour is there are a bunch of letters of no confidence going in against Rishi tonight, just imagine he gets toppled with an election already penciled in.

He's just not very good at this politics lark is he?

 

[PompeyLapras]

Tbf I can understand sunak. I can't find my umbrella and my rain coat is pretty thick so I don't like to wear it in the summer because it gets so hot, so I'd probably do the same

 

[Paddy Podped]

I heard he rang Steve McClaren for advice on how to hold his umbrella pre-speech

This isn't to agree with SotonOldBoy. The truth is I don't get involved in US politics, but what some don't seem to realise is that he actually lives in the US. Whether he is right or wrong, being closer to the action than any of us on here surely gives him a different perception that he is quite rightly allowed to voice without being jumped on?

St jab, appreciate the perspective and thank you for that. I live it every. I have even considered returning to the UK, if Biden is re-elected because he has sold himself out to the progressive left and is basically their puppet. Politics aside, UTFS, win on Sunday please.

 

[Le Tissier's Laces]

Sorry, bit confused here. Is the BBC the "progressive left" or is it "tory biased press".

It seems to be both reading back over this part of the forum, which must mean they're doing something right.

 

[SotonOldBoy]

It's a shame he skipped English at school.

I have an O level in english literature. I am posting on a social media platform, not writing a dissertation on Hamlet. But thanks for your insightful reply.

 

[OddRiverOakWizards]

Fingers crossed!

Or left

Hell yes. I have a Chelsea friend who said would you prefer to be struggling in the Premier League or stay in the Championship. I said that is an enormous superstition that we would struggle, but I would take our chances to survive

With a GE round the corner now we have to remember that we are all different, but ultimately Saints fans.

Let’s not get to petty with each other and…..
