He's sounding like a whiney little bitch now, it's embarrassing to watch.
Cringeworthy.

Nobody told me the rules.

He fooled the 17.4 million. Fooled them up real good.
To a kid looking up to me, life ain't nothing but bitches and money.

The vote to exit the EU was nearly 6 years ago, you really do need to start living in the present.

Remember folks, he's only there because the party of the working man was so incredibly awful that the working man voted for an Eton schoolboy instead.

Assumptions are the mother of all fuckups. Weren't the wars of empire won on the playing fields there?
They prolly thought the toff would know a party when he saw one, and not comb his hair with a balloon. Its generations of conditioning. Undone.

Re: Boris - how much longer will he suvive?
I do. The similarity of the Boris v Corbyn dynamic is frankly staggering.

Re: Boris - how much longer will he suvive?
I think you could draw various similarities, especially if you throw Brexit in as well.
I reckon we could agree though, that neither Boris nor Hitler are/were in place because they're great, it's a situational tragedy, bought along by the apparent lack of a palatable alternative.

Re: Boris - how much longer will he suvive?
I was joking of course ..
But I do think the god-awful Boris/Corbyn dilemma was brought about by the nosedive of any even remotely credible/visible third party and the way the meeja leapt upon the electorate polarisation of the Brexit decision to paint their preferred candidate as good vs evil.

Politics in the UK is in a very dire place - polarisation, with large groups believing that people do not have a right to a different opinion to them, the rise of the "offended by everything", selective media streams, the TV media / Papers getting more polarised one way or another and very, very low grade politicians.DefTrap wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 11:05 am I was joking of course ..

I think we have become the USA.

Brexit as what, the treaty of Versailles? You should mind your head in that heat.Potter wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 10:52 amI think you could draw various similarities, especially if you throw Brexit in as well.

Re: Boris - how much longer will he suvive?
I'm not really sure what would be considered a decent candidate anymore. The public seem to be swayed by characters rather than qualities, someone who can be a bit outrageous, outspoken, a bit of a lad, a good laugh down the pub etc. Decent candidate seems less and less likely to equate to decent PM. I reckon if Boris went back to being 'more Boris', and instead of the apologetic whining said "Yeah we had a few beers in the garden, but didn't we all?" with a big grin while holding a pint, he'd be the toast of the working class. He'd no doubt be out of a job as well, thoughPotter wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 2:35 am
I keep saying it, but why oh why won't Labour put a couple of decent candidates in, then pile on the pressure, the public would swing wildly and the tories would have to go for a vote of no confidence.
If a general election was forced I could possibly see a protest vote putting Starmer in, but I'm not sure it's that bad yet.

Re: Boris - how much longer will he suvive?
Actually I was thinking of the other thing, it escapes me because I'm knee deep in something for work and I cba to google, the agreement where the various countries agreed to recognise Germany as an actual power and defined it's borders, I think it begins with an L - my mind is scrambled after too much mind-bending financial stuff today.
