Paid Members tiger_rick Posted July 24, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 24, 2019 Not always been @David biggest fan, mostly because I get drawn in by him being a bloody wind-up merchant, but that's a tremendous "nail on the head" post. Like it or not, that's the reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) Just going to print the Brexit deal Boris. Wait, it’s not connected No, it’s wireless Its not wireless, it needs wires.

David Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I have a feeling that people on all sides of the negotiation table when it comes to Brexit are going to regret not getting a deal done when May was in power. It's going to get a whole lot more interesting when Boris and his appointed team take over this shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Think the only way he’s going is if some actual scandal gets dug up or found out. I’m not talking “had a row with missus” level, I’m talking old school Profumo level shit. As most have said, he’s winning a GE by a landslide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I was one of those who was confident that he'd never get near the job as most Tory MPs hated him, based mainly on a Tory MP telling me that. I completely underestimated how important it was to the party to win elections. The calculation, as @David says, that Boris is a GE winner is what got them lined up behind him. We truly are living in the Trumpian age. Next on the list I guess is a no-deal Brexit, seeing as this is the shittest timeline. I suppose there's an outside chance that Johnson will bring a tiny concession out of the EU over Northern Ireland and somehow sell that to his party. But let's face it, we're crashing out big time. I used to think that long-term, Brexit would be the death of the Conservative Party, as they would take the blame for the undoubted shitstorm that will happen afterwards. But with how polarised British politics is becoming, and the re-emergence of a hard right party in the Brexit party, I think a lot of the "liberal" and progressive things we now take for granted will get rolled back before we're done. The electorate seems determined to move us to the right, and so the system will follow them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The King Of Swing Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I'm starting to believe that we are seeing the end of the UK. I'm not convinced that he's the vote winner that some think he is. But I'm beyond putting my faith in anything these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birth rates alone would lead to a United Ireland at some point this century. Good. Hopefully we go independent at some point too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted July 25, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 25, 2019 A friend of mine who used to work as a speechwriter for Gordon Brown says he thinks that this is a "fuck you" cabinet, designed to be as divisive and chaotic as possible. He thinks the whole point is that it will tear itself apart, force an early general election, paving the way for a Johnson pact with Farage. If there's any truth to that, it smacks of Steve Bannon.
