What a rubbish job she done.
Lots of rumours floating around Twitter that someone called 'SLUDGE FACTORY' will run for the next Tory leader?
Wrong forum mate :hehe:
As she started sobbing I found myself snarling “F*CK OFFFF!” at her snivelling useless face.
The worst case scenario for britain was her.A complete joke of a politician and an embarressment.
EDIT
having said that ....you have even worse replacements waiting in the wings.
But these last comments demonstrate that the problem isn't May, it is really the deal that the EU wanted to foist on us in the first place . (Or should that be foist place??? )
Changing the PM isn't going to make the problem go away.
I wonder how the remainers will feel about forcing another referendum after they see how the brexit party did in these elections?
I can't say that I know anyone* who was sufficiently knowledgeable to vote three years ago regarding economics, tariffs, trading agreements, WTO terms, the EU and the ramifications of leaving it. And you only have to witness the TV interviews with members of the general public in the street to realise that the average Joe merely speaks in extremely woolly generalities and knows diddly squat about the subject whichever way they vote/voted. And I don't think much has changed.
*Me included.
I wish the media particularly would not refer to him as “Boris” like he’s your friend. He is a right winger who doesn’t give a toss about anyone other than himself. It’s Johnson.
As for May she only shows emotion when her career is damaged. A dreadful politician whose repulsive hostile environment policy has damaged and destroyed the lives of legal immigrants.
She was the PM of the nasty party.
Good riddance.
I'm interested in hearing what preferential treatment the EU would give us if we kept the threat of no-deal alive. We're leaving them. Surely the argument that they need us more than we need them has been proved to be bunkum. The whole negotiation was to see what Britain could get within the framework of the EU as the EU is never going to radically change anything just for us.
All Corbyn has done is to make the Labour party about the people that is should represent. The divisions have been caused by The Tory Lite amongst the Labour Party, like that A grade Twat Chuka Umunna We haven't had a serious Left Wing Party in this country for many years. I think it's great, somebody who actually has some integrity and who will help the poorest and most vulnerable.
It could also be argued that the media is so run by the right that any opposition is going to be savaged. Any threats to the most wealthy being able to avoid tax and being able to make obscene amounts of money at the hands of the worst off are dealt with pretty swiftly by a predominantly right-wing national press (who are all avoiding tax) and Tory cohorts in positions of authority at some of the leading broadcasters.
A level playing field it certainly is not.
The New Statesman is a weekly publication. The Observer is basically the Guardian on a Sunday.
Top 10 national daily papers in the UK by circulation:
Metro (owned by Daily Mail) (right wing)
The Sun (right wing)
Daily Mail (far right wing)
Daily Mirror (left wing)
The Times (right wing)
The Telegraph (right wing)
Daily Star (right wing)
Daily Express (right wing)
Independent (neutral)
Guardian (centre left)
You might say from that list that right wing media is simply more popular. However, I've been into shops where I've never seen a copy of the Independent and Guardian. The right wing media outlets are run by billionnaires who can afford to take losses in order to peddle what they want. I don't believe it is right for billionnaires to be able to influence how we think so much.
Funnily enough Eric I was aware that the New Statesman is weekly and the Observer is on Sunday.
I omitted the Daily Mirror in error.
And the Daily Mail while unquestionably right wing is far less so than it was under Dacre.
Don't disagree thst billionaires do have undue influence.
Not sure what the solution is although I do think that the print media influence has been diluted since the internet.
The notion of a "proper" Labour party after the New Labour phase was an attractive one, but the leadership has shown itself to be weak and too easy a target for the right wing media. There are posters on here whose political views I have plenty of time for who are adamant that antisemitism is not an issue in the Labour party, but my own view is that if there was a genuine will at the top of the party to tackle the issue head on, it would not be the festering sore to the party that it is today. Similarly, the way Labour has tied itself up in knots (mainly because of its leaders views on Europe being at odds with those of the majority of its members and MPs) has seen their "all things to all men" approach bring about a situation, which will, almost certainly, lead to confirmation tomorrow that they are almost an irrelevance as men, and women, desert them in droves - all at a time when it is predicted that the governing party are going to finish fifth in the poll.
