Phil-McRackin I don’t think being a cunt is a recognised medical condition
Bit harsh on Eddie that Phil
Truss (general uk sucks thread)
alistair All true, but as there is now an Eton cabal running the Tory party, they might well get their man in without too much bother, after all they managed it with Boris in the first place. Give Gove a shiny new marketing campaign, make out like he ‘Got Brexit Done’, the real mechanic of the whole venture, and the next thing you know he’s wanking off gammons in your nearest Weatherspoons.
If conservatism on that side of the pond is anything like it is here, they’re basically a fucking cult at this point. Fingers in ears “LA-LA-LA-LA-LA” anytime anything counter their uninformed opinion is brought up. Sadly, I think many know they’re wrong but they just cannot bear to admit it. Identity foreclosure. They’ve chosen the hill they’re going to die on and that’s that.
jonattonyeah
Absolute madness. Just like turkey’s voting for Christmas.
Will be interesting to see how low the conservatives poll at the next election (i know, 4 years away), given they are about to totally fck up Brexit as well as every single step during this crisis. Even the die hard Brexit heartlands are going to be crying foul. I’ll start the betting on 15%.
Here in the States it really doesn’t matter what’s going on or the State of affairs. It’s Manchester/Liverpool, Giants/Cowboys, Lakers/Celtics. They just want their team to win. It doesn’t matter what their side does, as long as the other side loses. Republicans actively undermine their own voters left and right. It just doesn’t matter. It honestly feels hopeless with the likes of Facebook and other forms of propagandist media outlets feeding people what they want to hear (lies, misinformation).
jonattonyeah yeah but the Tories in the UK don’t have that hardcore following - think they may now be losing their more established support base. And the Brexit voters will be fickle - many of them used to vote Labour after all.
Good to hear that. The tribal nature of the Trumpists in America is beyond alarming. I shy away from Godwin’s Law, but I honestly believe he could kill 6M people and his cult wouldn’t bat an eyelid. What they’re so aggrieved about I’ll never know.
Jules72 Don’t ever lose sight of how pig-shit-fucking-thick the average racist Brexit supporting cunt is. They don’t give a fuck about the economy or the virus (looks what’s happening now), they just want out and are prepared to take any associated pain.
Along_the_Wire it is a full time job keeping my anger levels down at the moment….
Sunak for PM.
alistair It’s usually because Labour shoot themselves with internecine conflict (the later Blair-Brown years), or simply crap leadership e.g. Michael Foot, Corbyn.
Corbyn was quite interesting in a nostalgic kind of way, the political equivalent of seeing a Morris Minor on the roads in 2020, you think “oh, look at that, isn’t it interesting? I wouldn’t want one, mind” and then most of the country ended up plumping for the Alfa Romeo which is also crap and forever breaking down, but at least looked modern and promised a lot.
Congrats UK, Qanon has landed on your shores too.
