Politics UK

Since US politics is kinda boring ATM I thought I'd fire up this thread...see if it gets any ground.

Apparently the lefties in the US aren't the only ones weaponizing the racism charge.

What's going on with Jeremy Corbin?

Something I thought I'd never see.

Corbyn is a terrorist sympathising anti Semitic little weasel. How he got into a position of people deciding whether or not he ran this country is a source of constant amazement. His appearance at Glastonbury a few years back was on a par with Biden being interviewed by Cardi “occurrrttt” B. Just reeks of an arrogance and thinking stupid shit like that will appeal to even more stupid people.

I hate the whole idea of “left vs right” myself, I prefer to form judgements on the contents of a package rather than the label, but if we’re having to call it out I’m afraid that the so called “left” appear to find it hard to win an election based on policy. It seems to fall down to slapping labels on folk and appealing to the lowest common denominator.

But you know, me personally, I think the worst thing in UK politics are the cult known as the SNP. I don’t think they’re left or right, I just think they’re anti English.

Very interesting stuff Gary. I've been asking rhetorically for a long time why don't the Dems use ideas as fuel to get people to vote for them instead of using hatred as the fuel to get people to vote for them? The answer is this... their ideas do not sell to most people. Putting two trillion dollars into the weather is a loser at the polls. So they gain their support through unjustified vilification, which is much easier to do in the age of the cyberspace technology.

But I digress, back to Politics UK. I didn't know that about Corbin. How did this man come to lead the libs? I'm thinking an opportunist maybe?

SNP... I'll check that out.

LOL. N, is this your new thread to take digs at Democrats so you won't have to argue with me and FMP?

I don’t know that there’s anyone I can compare them to in US politics, all I can say is that they’re an insufferable bunch of absolute whiners who are hellbent on breaking up the United Kingdom at any cost.

We had a referendum in 2014 and the Scottish people, myself included, voted 55% in favour of remaining in the UK. Since then, they have become professional agitators blaming all and sundry on the UK government but taking credit for any positives.

They cannot let it go, and to make matters worse we now have a bunch of wide eyed hysterical know nothings who love nothing more than roaming the streets of Scotland screeching for another go at their beloved separatism.

It is no exaggeration when I say that I hate them, and I hate them with a passion. I have English relatives who all think that we in Scotland are all like these dribbling morons. It’s embarrassing.

Wow, Gary. I've never seen this side of you.

You know when I was in the UK, I heard a lot of jokes about the Welsh. I also went through Bristol and then onto Cardiff. I kinda have the feeling the English think they are better than any of their neighbors

No, No, No! We do that with our English neighbouring counties too Throw a football into the mix and it gets even more tribal.

It's always a laugh reading the funny laws around the world. Whilst newer law supersedes many a bylaw I always laugh when we have one that says we can stick an arrow in a Scotsman if he crosses the border

There was one funny law somewhere in the world that meant a bride's mother had to be present in the bedroom on the wedding night. It's probably a category on Pornhub Talk about pressure for the poor groom

Everyone who invaded us left all their moaners here. It was perfect for them. An early Escape From New York. Some did escape on a ship once though
