Good. One less remainer in the cabinet and hopefully it’ll lead to the downfall of this utterly useless Prime Minister. The way Windrush has been handled is nothing short of a disgrace, and the national outcry over it shows in many ways how the nation isn’t racist and how swivelled eyed the remainers are that suggested Brexit was the result of a racist vote.

But, no. It's the Brexit-voters who are all racist. Not the EU. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SYwV9034kM | This user would like to thank for this useful post: | |

I think the UK is now officially the worlds most self-destructive country in terms of politics.
I wish I had a time machine and could go back to 1945 and show Churchill a copy of the tabloids over the last 30 years and say: "This is how the country is going to turn out with the NHS, policing, courts and politics". I'm not saying he was the perfect PM but it was probably the time that the countries direction could have been changed for the better.
We are an utter joke and completely lacking in any unified political direction.

The UK is basically a den of jackals (both politically and in the media) all looking to screw the others and I do not see the UK progressing as a nation if the politicians do not share any common goals. It seems like ever cabinet has short term goals which the next party wants to undo as soon as they can.
In my view, the UK's forseeable future is screwed until this happens.

Yeah, lets ask rhetorical questions and use these rofl smileys and see who wins the internet.

I love this. France and Austria come within a whisker of electing extreme right wingers for president. Greece is a basket case, where actual neo-fascists and actual communists are actually taken seriously. Turkey has become a police state (again). Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands are having all kinds of nasty shit bubbling up from the sewers. Italy continues to be Italy. Russia is a mafia state. And poor old Syria is in the middle of a bloody civil war...
But, according to Richdog, "the UK is now officially the worlds most self-destructive country in terms of politics."
Right you are, Richdog. Right you are. |

Right you are, Richdog. Right you are.  | | | | | I think you need to read a little hyperbole into people's statements instead of taking everything 100% literally, but then again I do realise this is a level of emotional intelligence that you likely don't possess. |

Your repeated green rep points that you give to me full of rofl smileys tell me everything I need to know about how much things get to you because they are the mark of a petty and insecure man. |

It's a good job I've worked with three year olds, otherwise I wouldn't have a clue what you were on about.

Makes perfect sense, Richdog. | | | | | Yes, it makes perfect sense. It's called putting on a face other than that which you are actually wearing, and you have exhibited the same behaviour and conducted the same spiel for as long as I have seen you post on the forum. If you were not bothered at all you simply wouldn't go out of your way to do that stuff so repeatedly to people, and to pretend otherwise is just kidding yourself (which is also understandable).
Like I said before, it's old hat, sad, and extremely predictable... but no less amusing for all that. Anyway lets leave it there, we both have better things to do with our time than engage in online fisticuffs. |
