O'Kelly Isley III Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 The Tories really are the masters of projecting blame onto others.The 11am BBC Radio 2 news had a quote from a hauliers rep who has the Government, and of course the 'Gove' part of, firmly in the blame frame. Kudos to whoever leaked this letter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn’t so serious it would be hilarious. Listening to one of the road haulier organisation’s spokespersons today on radio having a go at the U.K. government for trying to scapegoat the hauliers for the government’s failings. This will get dirtier the closer it comes to January. The Tories will not escape the political fallout of a No Deal Brexit, but those driving it will have made their money and be gone by the next GE. I used to think the U.K. electorate as a whole could not be as stupid or naive as their U.S. counterparts but I’m not so sure now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still not rushing to cash in on some grotty terraces round any of those mind. The late lamented Grimbo spent some of our hard earned cash making the wiring legal in some slum he rented out down there, could be a bargain to snap up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When even a hard-hitting expose of the staggering levels of London-based corruption and money-laundering raises not a ripple, then it will take something quite dramatic to jolt the masses out of their collective supine stupor. Brexit-related food shortages should be a good start - when the good people of Boston in Lincs can't get chorizo and Valpolicella then all hell will break loose. We await with interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of Gammons who support a hard Brexit will barely notice the real negative impact. OK, the price of their weekly shop will increase but in the main these are not people who travel extensively, or own companies that trade with the EU, or care in the slightest about a progressive UK in Europe. They'll continue to vote for the party that promises to clamp down hardest on immigration and uses the most populist slogans. That will always be the Tories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a point where the economic effects of Brexit will affect their lives.

I'd like to think that all that is true (especially the murder bit), but I suspect that it will take a lot to convince people that the ideology...and that's what it is....that they support is flawed. The Tories also know that another GE is years away. The British electorate in general is not reactive....it's timid, accepting. You could blast this country back to the stone ages and many people would just shrug their shoulders and say 'ach, what can you do ?' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Kent, aka Farageshire. Going to be interesting to see what this whitest, most Brexity part of England makes of this new 'Gammon Curtain' they're about to find themselves behind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Considering the level of xenophobia when I lived there, the inhabitants of Kent will have been delighted to hear that they're getting their own hard border. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
