mouldy_uk Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 My mother in law is a typical Daily Mail reading, well off, Tory voting pensioner and she hates this lot and especially Boris. That alone gives me hope we can flush this shit away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should never ever lose sight of that. Don't get me wrong like, I'm massively of the opinion that people need something to vote for, not vote against - and doing so means taking on capital and the media - but even that has a limit. The Democrats were able to crawl over the line by recreating Weekend at Burnie's against the most populist candidate I've seen in my lifetime, and that's in a country far more gone in terms of being under the boot than we are. If things get bad enough they'll vote against what they have. My fear is the even bigger, more dangerous populist that comes in after centrism yet again kicks the problems into the long grass.

OCK Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Could so easily be the greatest satire in history if he wasn't actually real. Also, anyone who is romantic over the British Empire should be avoided as it's one of the biggest warning flags going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 listening to lib golden boy JOB this morning see what he's saying about the tories, first time in months started on about johnson & ukraine as dowden mentioned it in his letter then proceeded from nowhere and for no reason to point out to his dripping lib audience that boz is only acting in the same way that any politician in the HoC would...no wait every single one of them except Corbyn of course...no wait probably Abbot as well so let's say everyone except Corbyn and his cabal lost a lot of respect for the guy over his corbyn shit like, i still feel like on some level he's trying to convince himself he was right to slaughter the guy given what's transpired wonder what he thinks famously anti-war activist jez corbz would have done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Honestly, the little cunt has been playing Lord Snooty since he was 4 years old and nobody has had the sense to beat the shit out of him. I missed my opportunity, on the train back from Epsom, on Derby Day. I didn't know who he was at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCK Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 There's only one real "traditionalist" aka "I'm a middle-class middle-aged person that doesn't want anything to change as I remember when it woz better in the past and fuck them kids" option to vote for in the Tory Party, but some many alternatives. They need to change first past the post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many seats that neither they nor the Lads will win otherwise. Similarly the LDs would need to get behind it and accept they're the juniors in such a pact.
