I love this country as much as the next man but wow These people really are fascinating. Sunak was born in Southampton. Johnson was born in NEW YORK. I really don't understand what makes the latter MORE English than the former. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerblod Posted 23 October 2022 Share Posted 23 October 2022 15 hours ago, whoareyaaa said: I think Sunak would be the best option for the general population as he does actually help as we seen over covid, Boris would probably help recover the economy as well but not in the way Sunak would imo if that's even possible. Either of those two would be better than Liz anyway. Aren't you aware that this Tory party has reached the limits of credibility with every observer who has an ounce of objectivity? This isn't about which is the next candidate to put before the Tory membership - it's about asking the country to put right its error of judgement over the shambles of Brexit and vote out a ruined, inept, immoral and clueless remnants of what used to be the Conservative and Unionist Party. Since Cameron got in it's been mistake after mistake - the first was the Brexit referendum, and it's been all downhill from there. Neither Johnson nor Sunak are interested in the needs of the majority of the citizens of this country. If you're not aware of any of this then you have a point of view that you've every right to express and which is totally irrelevant to how this country is being mismanaged. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, watch it and then find me the equivalent ideas from the Tory party for their vision of Britain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facecloth Posted 23 October 2022 Share Posted 23 October 2022 Does anyone remember The Simpsons episode where it's Quimby and Sideshow Bob running for mayor? Sideshow Bob's campaign video criticises Quimby for releasing an attempted murderer (Sideshow Bob) from prison. This apparently is a reason to vote for Sideshow Bob as Quimby isn't tough on crime. This is what the current situation is like. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Izzy Posted 23 October 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 23 October 2022 I thought Raab actually spoke a bit of sense this morning as to why Johnson shouldn't return. I 100% agree with what he said. And I wish JRM would just fvck off. What a total bell end that bloke is. If I were the Tories I'd fvck him off straight away. He's like a bad smell that just lingers around. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy will argue black is white continuously. He has no clue. I really don't see what value he adds to anything. I'm amazed he's lasted as long as he has but that's probably because he's so far up Johnson's arse. If the Tories were in the least bit bothered about the 'optics' of their party right now, they'd find a way to bin him off. The blokes worth about £100m FFS. He doesn't need to be in Politics apart from the fact it plays to his ego. I wouldn't give him the steam off my piss. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you say he's minted, so he doesn't need to be in politics, but it helps him help shape certain policies that line his own pocket even more. A man of his wealth should be only be in politics to help people and make the country better (well that's why they all should be, but you know what I mean) but he's clearly got no interest in that. Also he often uses his religion to defend his voting on certain subject like LGBT rights, but those Christian value are nowhere to be seen when it comes to helping people. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that Just World/Prosperity Gospel version that JRM and most of the American South buy into, suffering does have to be glorified as it is necessary in such versions for there to be "punishment" from the divine powers for being lazy/unlucky/not pious enough/insert other vacuous reason here.
