Haha, well you give this old fella the impression of being a Leftie, anyway!😁
No, narcissism, corruption and dishonesty in Government are totally unacceptable and should be condemned by all decent citizens, whatever their political persuasion. Incompetence is extremely unfortunate in politics...
It is old ground again, but if Labour had voted for a half decent leader then perhaps, or certainly, there would have been a closer result, but that, of course, doesn’t excuse Johnson’s chaos. Anyway, you know that.
Looking to the future and as a Leftie, you must be excited about the prospect of...
As I said in my post, neither candidate was suitable to run the country and that was the sad state of British politics at the time.
Yes, Johnson was a total shambles as PM, but given the choice between the two, I venture to say that the electorate were more scared of a Corbyn led...
As has been said so many times before, neither Johnson nor Corbyn were ideal candidates to lead the country. Johnson was seen as the lesser of two evils by many.
Those inclined to the left of politics may like to consider that if Corbyn had won in December 2019 and had, let us say, made a mess...
Maybe a tiny bit strong, but some on NSC certainly veer towards that on occasion!
Perhaps it gives them a nice warm feeling like pissing your pants on a cold day.😁
I take a passing interest in the political threads on here, but have to admit I skim through some of the ‘heavier and longer’ thoughts and, umm, wise words of the more politically inclined .
.However, whilst apppreciating that this thread largely reflects the views of those who abhor the...
Sorry to hear about your chronic pain, Harry. An appointment in a year’s time? What a joke. However, I’m not sure you can put this entirely down to the Tory Government. The fact is that the NHS is a mess and the writing has been on the wall for years. Neither of the main parties have had the...
Can’t entirely agree with all that.
I voted Remain and for me, the fact that Johnson backed Leave was a huge black mark against him. I didn’t particularly like him, but hoped that he would ‘grow/mature into the PM role. Well, I got that seriously wrong. Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that the...
With the best will in the world, Jezza v Boris was the low quality choice the electorate were faced with. I for one didn’t vote, hoping for a ‘clusterf… of a government, but sadly, even with no sign of Corbyn in the last 5 years, that is how it turned out.
Harry, no-one can seriously deny that they have been fu—-no awful, but, my point was that many people voted for Johnson because Corbyn really put the shits up them. ‘Anyone but Jezza’.
Who are ‘they’ and what could I, for instance, have done to prevent ‘the cretins’ run the show for 5 years?👍
I like the way Wes talks about the NHS and he ‘talks the talk’ with his views of not worshipping at its shrine etc. However, it remains to be seen whether he will be able to ‘walk the walk’, when it comes to implementing reforms and also dealing the strongest trade union in the country. If he...
