UK Politics Thread (Part 5)

See what I mean below?

Boris Johnson was elected prime minister. The people warning against him were literally anyone who had the misfortune of working with him.

Polls not so long ago indicated there were. Maybe not gullible though

I’ve seen a few interviews with people from Clacton and it struck me how insulated they were from Farage’s past and financial conundrums. They were simply unaware.

Milliband comes across and huge ego with not much substance. Ready to take us backwards and fully embrace out dated 70s values.

But…. North Sea drilling I applaud him.

But you failing to acknowledge the point. Easy targets because they made them selves easy targets. I am not imaging it and the rest of the electorate will not too..

Yeah, but @LondonRich, and many others of his ilk, will say the same regardless of who Burnham picks.

There are various different ilks.
Each ilk thinks the other ilks are wrong.
Some ilks look down their noses and sneer at other ilks, giving the impression that they really do believe their own shit doesn’t stink.

I completely agree and apologise for my post being a bit abrupt. More than a few of us were critical of the Tories recycling the same people. We’re seeing the same here.

Now I personally disagree with the poke at Miliband. He’s been given a fat budget to spend and aggressive targets to reach. That’s policy choice, not the person.

Rayner screwed up or at the very least the optics were awful.

True, but some are easy targets. I’m just throwing this out there more than disagreeing. I’d just like to see good people in the right jobs. Are we thin on the ground?

Fuck’s sake. Yeah, let’s drill some more oil up and burn it. What could possibly go wrong.

What is his “ilk“?

I like elks better. They’re big goats

My partner used to work for him when he was Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change. She said he was generally really good as a minister - totally gets his brief, really hard working and morally on point. He genuinely cares about people and fairness. His biggest weakness was around decision making. He would delay and delay on making a decision and he really struggled with idea that inevitably some people lose out whatever the course of action.

Damn.
What will all the objectors drink their caramel lattes and fizzy water from?
Or eat their takeaway granola & yoghurts or avocado salads from?

That’s the current political set for you. Exactly or we could buy it, stick it on ships and sail over.

stop trying to be a smart arse…

they could easily use paper cups for their lattes and paper bowls for their avocado salads.

all we need to do is cut down more trees to produce more paper cups/bowls,

simples…

Using petrol chainsaws or get the African kids to dig up more cobalt?

Ha ha ha global extinction level event ha ha ha.
