Yep. Had a think. I'm, as usual, totally wrong. Is the word "Wankers" socially accepted on this forum? I don't want to upset anyone.

Im sure some sensitive petal will be offended.  Silver lining and all that.

Could leftie baiting become the new blood sport? I shall put my vast computer like-brain into action.

Bozo - Proven liar
Patel- is sorry we might think she sells things to the Israelies and can't read numbers.
Raab - Doesn't know we're an island.

Liz Truss - Numbers again.
Cummins - Ran away.

etc.

 

Ffs get over it and change the record. We had the election, your predictions were proven to be totally wrong. Let’s get through this unprecedented situation and a few years down the line we will have another general election then you can cast a vote to make a difference as you see it. Be careful what you wish for as ltd company sole trader type set ups don’t really sit well with your left wing citizen smith type socialist heroes.

An ol' boy once said to me "if someone calls you a cnut" ignore them, "if lots of people are calling you a cnut, you probably are one".

 

Before we go further down the political route I didn't vote Labour last time due to who was leading the party.

 

She's a nasty piece of work.

Eggs, I agree with you, up to a point.

Hook, line, and sinker. Go on.

Andy, I think that the issue is that she continues to behave in a detached and uncaring fashion in the wake of a crisis that is claiming the lives of NHS workers. Like refusing to apologise for PPE shortages. She apologised if some people felt there was a shortage. That was a classic, and transparent political dodge. 
 
The underlying loathing for her has a fairly firm basis in:
 
* the fact that she is stupid, and unqualified for the job
* the fact that she is a bully
* the fact that she has a history of working for the promotion of tobacco
 
It's pretty hard to be objective about her day to day rhetoric with her character so fundamentally undermined by these shortcomings. The fact that she's doing such a poor job in office only serves to reinforce this. 
 
It's like Trump. It's almost impossible to commend him for the occasional thing he does get right as he's completely compromised by being a world class prick.

There is much to dislike about Trump, but he did get the economy booming and unemployment down. (Pre-covid of course)

Thats like, your opinion man.  

 

You're emotive investment in this seems to have rendered your objectivity to a level akin to MarkJ's.

Just now, Big J said:

Some might argue that he merely capitalised on the economic foundation left to him by his predecessor, and that the measures he took to further boost that economic boom were short termist and protectionist. Neither of which are sustainable in the long term. 

 

Whoever these people are that you're referring to must be complete nutcases. Thats some 'Occupy Democrats' reasoning right here.  

 

Next up we have PETA with their balanced view on animal care.

Actually, I don't really care very much. I just intensely dislike people like her, and am happy to simultaneously dislike them and not care about them. Infact, there isn't really anyone in the Tory front bench at the moment that I'd piss on if they were on fire. They've lost all their moderates.

 

Id piss on Priti Patel, but we're veering away from Politics now.
