Not The Politics Thread.

[kingfox]

Another party at Downing Street, this is getting out of hand

 

[I am Rod Hull]

 

[Sly]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.

 

This government is incompetent and needs replacing.
 

The opposition isn’t up to the job and needs to get itself in order. 
 

We are in need of a solid, 3rd party option that is competent and to a degree not corrupt. In fact, we’re desperate for this right now …..

[StanSP]

EVERY. FVCKING. WEEK.

What's wrong with the opposition?

You've got to admit that Dom is playing this beautifully. He's probably got a spreadsheet at home detailing the precise date of every little nugget he plans to leak. I wonder how many more there are to come?

It's almost parody now. Absolutely unreal. 

 

At any other time, with any other leader, in politics or otherwise, they would fall. 

 

I JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW BORIS ****ING JOHNSON IS STILL THE PRIME MINISTER.

Probably. But given how long ago, wouldn't surprise me it its overridden by now. Some CCTV systems only record for about a month? 

 

As for Priti Patel, a) there's always a tweet and b) if it's the public she'll show her power, if it's her own people, she'll do fvck all.

My honest opinion @Daggersis that they’ve genuinely not done enough. They’re far from clean themselves and need to sort their own politics out. It’s taken the Conservative party to self destruct, for them to make headway. 

 

I’m without a doubt not a Labour supporter, so appreciate others may take a different view. 
 

A strong opposition is required to oppose whichever side is in control.

Nobody has done as bad as this government, all the cuts the tories do and running the country into the ground but they still blame it on Labour who were in power over a decade ago!

[Pliskin]

The tories have compromised the integrity of the entire political system. All those other public servants who were forced to work during the height of the pandemic, and still abide by the laws set out by them have been pissed on, as well as every other citizen in this country. 
 

MP’s have usually been the arse-ends of a middle class society, but this has really taken the mick. 
 

Anyone one else serving in a public office who did this would have been sacked.

[Adrian]

Am I allowed to play devil's advocate?

 

Truth is alot of people took rules with pinch if salt....They played by the rules mostly but there were 'gatherings ' and kept it on the hush hush...

 

Did anyone on here disgusted at Boris  have a 'secret xmas'.  No one will admit their own hypocrisy cos we all lie and bullshit but happily point out others

 

There are those who bloody loved the rules and obeyed them all of course .You know the ones that the idea of attending a music festival would be like paying a visit to the devil's asshole

I do enjoy it when people doing as they're asked to do become the focus of derision.

1st sentence: Those people are cvnts. 

 

2nd sentence I'll finish for you "...to protect their health and their families at a time of uncertainty in a global pandemic, as they were advised to do, not by the government, but by the science".   

 

3rd sentence: What a strange, antagonistic comment. Imagine equating taking health of yourself and other people seriously, to being an apparent dullard.

 

Imagine being deluded enough to still defend Boris ****ing Johnson.

People did bend the rules, I know of some who had family in their back garden, socially distanced. We’d gather on our street Thursday evenings after the clap, bring out a chair and sit on our own gardens having a drink and chat with the neighbours sat on their own front gardens, it was good and brought the street closer together. One was a lady who lived on her own, it was her lifeline. 
 

However, the pm and his cronies should have been whiter than white, they were running the country, laying down the rules, set the example, someone should have been strong enough to stop this at the very beginning. But if you put weak immoral people in charge of the country, you get weak immoral leadership. 

cummings can **** off too, he’s no better and is running round like a women/man scorned because he go dumped. He’d have been right in on this.

It’s one thing to take the rules with a pinch of salt. And to be honest I don’t think anyone on here honestly expected everyone to follow them, there are just some people who can’t be told what to do, however…. When the leaders of your nation can’t even be arsed to follow their own guidelines there’s a problem, because it more than calls their integrity into question and completely undermines everything we tried to achieve. 
 

Government leaders are suppose to be intelligent, responsible people and lead by example…. 
 

If a group of coppers had a party during the height of lockdown and it was exposed, they would all be sacked no questions asked, but the leaders of your country do it, and it shouldn’t be an issue? 
 

Not everyone sings from the same hymn sheet, but those who work in senior public sector role’s such as a politician for example, must show exquisite behaviour, and a prepared to lead by example, anything less shouldn’t be tolerated, because it undermines everything they try to implement.

Yep, not really answered my question though. What precisely do you expect an opposition party to do?
 

You say they should do more - what? An opposition can only oppose the governing party or hold it to account through questioning or action in committees - both of which it does if you watch committees working.
 

So if they’ve “not done enough”, what is it you think they should be doing?
