UK Politics Thread (Part 4)

I just quit my Netflix subscription, and now they won’t let me watch any of their programmes. What a bunch of cunts. Honestly, I didn’t expect that kind of pettiness from them.

Nowhere fucking near it.

The UK is on its knees.

Ps. I should add, it was (and continues to be) successful and thriving if you’re one of those at the top towards whom the Tory project directly and indirectly funnels all wealth.

Yeah. Around 20 billionaires in 2010. Now around 200. Fucking sickening.

Now i wonder what opportunities there were that allowed those that deal in assets, funds, shares etc. that permitted them uo increase their wealth?

Were they natural occurrences or fabricated i wonder?

Careful…

I was told in Part 3 that unless I could demonstrate exactly where all that wealth had come from I was speculating…

I was told in the Russian invasion of Ukraine part 1 thread, by a certain Tankie, that the military build up at the border was just my ridiculous propaganda,that all intelligence regarding an imminent invasion was clearly baseless lies and that I was clueless, and that a Russian espionage ship cutting a fibre cable was far, far more likely to be a trawler.
So speculations with no basis in reality. Shrugs

This is simply untrue. The EU did respect the decision and were willing to deal but the UK Government kept jerking them around. For example, at one such meeting between the two parties, while the EU representatives arrived fully briefed and with a thick wad of documents to aid the discussion Lord Frost turned up with some notes on the back of a fag packet. May voted down her own bill.

It was the UK government that set the clock running on the 2-year deadline without any sense as to what Brexit meant or what it would look like. It was the EU that offered multiple extensions to give time for the UK to develop their plans.

However, what the EU was never going to do was grant the UK preferential access to the single market without the UK agreeing to some sort of rules that apply to others with similar levels of access.

Well fuck me rigid with a broom handle, a genuinely sensible proposal I can get behind. Well done Labour.

More kowtowing to the rabid right.

And yet you still think they’re mad socialists…

They are mad socialists, they’re just doing something sensible. Those of us on the right who are ists and bigots and phobes can never approve of what the left do. Apparently.

Ideal opportunity just gone to taper taxation so the super rich get hit the hardest.
But nope.

What has happened to the lardarse jab. Could use that as a double whammy for fat teenagers who can’t get out of bed…

Fat teenagers don’t need a jab, they need less pizza and jogging.

I thought it was David Davies for some reason and he had to ask to borrow a notebook and pen.

Yes, you are probably right.

In fact this arrogance is exactly why I chose to cancel my Netflix in the first place.

Had a similar argument with Amazon once when they started charging me for a music subscription I never even asked for.

I was ready with notes though.
