TheScarf Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 2 minutes ago, Boo Khaki said: I always thought there was an element of typical 'Nicola Sturgeon says don't drink bleach - BigRab1690WATP immediately downs a bottle of Domestos just to get it up Nippy' behaviour about that. They hated being told what to do, and are thick enough to vote against their own interests just to spite the people warning them. Same thing a few years back with a guy on the radio. His business was making UPVC window and door frames IIRC. Business was in meltdown, zero orders coming in from the EU, his Polish based staff had all fucked off home, he was winding up the business because he was losing tens of thousands every week. Of course, he voted leave, was adamant he didn't regret it, and claimed he would vote leave again in any 2nd referendum. Then there was the guy with the eel farm that had been a family business for generations. Closed down due to Brexit fall-out, which of course he had voted for. Still adamant he knew exactly what he was voting for and was still fully behind it. I think this is why it will be 30-40 years at least before England admits it's mistake and thinks about looking for a route back into the EU. The politicians will be the ones to facilitate it, but in order for that to become viable they'll actually have to wait for all these thick, gammon arseholes who are too full of hubris to admit their own culpability to literally die off first. ‘Oiam on the facking dole naaow bat at facking least there’s less facking Arabs eeyah!’ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) The funniest thing about this is that the most extreme neoliberal section of British politics, the ERG, got exactly the programme they wanted from Truss, and it got rejected utterly by their spiritual master, The Market, instantly. They might have a few quid in the bank from shorting the pound and bonds, but they've hopefully blown the influence they had in UK politics for decades.

You saw it today in Sunderland a real lack of political understanding. Why are we spending money abroad, when people here need it? In the same brain Why are people coming here from Africa and the Middle East? Idiots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A MP is elected to represent their party and not just themselves. If MPs were allowed freedom of conscience on everything you would have no way of predicting how a vote would go on anything, even if the party has a manifesto saying what they plan to do. It simply would not work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrogant and downright condescending. Have let Scotland down for years. Rotten to the core. And yet, in terms of policy, not remotely close to the group you're claiming they're virtually identical to. It's a stance that tolerates little scrutiny. The fact that you apparently dislike both parties equally, does not render them the same as each other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
