UK Politics Thread (Part 1)

No, that doesn’t. :stuck_out_tongue:

Only if your a member of the Tory party now. Now go baut to being your cynical old self, git! :wink:

Fixed for accuracy

Surely it’s postering. Torygraph readers will be enraged that France is being so petty as to demand international law be up held. So will many others, it’s the self righteous position and the anti EU position.

The French are, frankly, no better than the UK when it comes to the Channel and international law, and often worse.

I take it you read the Torygraph. :wink:
Oh come on then let’s have it on the channel.
As for international law yes France has it’s exceptions. :joy:
It would be nice if you could acknowledge the UK has problems without resorting to France are worst.
Just to even it up what about social care of kids? :stuck_out_tongue:

Without looking I’ve no doubt that the Telegraph, Mail and Express will be making every effort to blame France for this issue.

You brought France into it, not me! I don’t read the Telegraph nor any newspaper per se. I get my news online from a variety of sources. It’s certainly not unfair to say that France has, to varying degrees, been breaching international Treaties concerning the Channel and migration across the Channel for years.

No I didn’t the article did and you took it completely off topic, bravo!!!

Literally, everyone was discussing the UK’s part in this before you mentioned France. :man_facepalming:

I didn’t say it would.

But when two thirds of the cabinet were privately educated and yet private schools account for just 6-7% of all pupils in the UK, there’s clearly a disproportionate number of privately educated people in government making decisions about the lives of people who could only dream of that kind of privilege.

That to me is very wrong and smacks of a serious societal issue. When the school you went to is more important than your actual intelligence, experience or suitability to lead the country, that is an issue that is perpetuated by the private school system.

Really? Does this all have to be about you?

I reckon we should build a wall.

It has been thought of already.

Possibly the most depressing book I have ever read…

What’s always said about PS is that the two most important things you leave with is a psychotic degree of self confidence and a first rate network of contacts.

Looking at the current government, there is obviously a lot of truth in that. Watching them shake off the kind of embarrassing fuck ups that would fell most mortals is quite astonishing really.

READ THE ARTICLE!!!
I won’t ask you to take in the context as that’s obviously far beyond you.

Surely it cannot be as depressing as 1984…?

Pfff.

1984 is a walk in the park compared to

Ah, another joke of the day.

How do you think the unthinkable?

The Wall makes 1984 seem like Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm
