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.

        alistair Labour have been good at losing them… hopefully Kier Starmer is going to sort them out with sensible policies next time around. Shame it’s 4 Fckng years away!

        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.

          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.

            Smallman1 This is a question like ‘what is house music?’, you can’t expect someone to bother to explain it and fill in all the details for you, unless anyone here likes typing essays.

            One for you to research if you don’t know already.

            Smallman, whenever I start to like it you fuck it up by asking a stupid fucking question.

            Much like Rhouses.

            QAnon is a far-right conspiracy theory alleging that a cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles running a global child sex-trafficking ring is plotting against President Donald Trump, who is battling them, leading to a “day of reckoning” involving the mass arrest of journalists and politicians. No part of the theory is based on fact.
