MalcolmW Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 BoJo has now said he wants to win the next GE and the one after, taking him beyond 2030. One of his MPs said he doesn't mind him staying beyond 2030 as long as he is gone by 9pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brexit has fucked up my life more than most on here. I have business interests in the Czech Republic. I know more than most the impact that it’s had. I’ve moved on. Nothing that you or anyone on here says will change the result. So we should never mention it again? We should never point out what a bunch of lying cunts we've got in Government? I'm not sure I understand your point. We've all "moved on" and carried on with our lives, haven't we? People who highlight the failures of Brexit haven't quit their jobs and abandoned their kids.

Not sure what your opinion is by reading a few editions but I’m sure it’s content, as any other, will change regularly. Me neither, I've never read one publication with alligience, and these days, I read whatever links i get sent and read everything with an open mind As you say, The content changes The tone doesn't I used to read the News of the world for it's football coverage The rest of it's pages were a cess pit Used to read the guardian for it's football coverage and Charlie Brooker The rest was a bit too right on for me and their film critic seemed deliberately high brow Generally, I'd say it's easy to see a paper for what it is in terms of it's political leanings and target audience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting? No discussion should be shut down. That is the very essence of the problem as the left side of politics attempts to do this all of the time through insult and innuendo hoping that the opponent will choose to beat a hasty retreat rather than go toe to toe. You can raise every -ism you want. Freedom of speech has to be one of the pillars of a true democracy. You should revisit history and check what the nazis and the bolsheviks did. It started with measures you seem to be condoning and ended with concentration camps/gulags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you, I didn’t like it. Unlike you, I accepted it. It’s called democracy. People talk about a divisive society. It’s divisive because people don’t accept democracy. The democratic vote of a nation is more important than my or anyone else’s personal problems. Carry on highlighting the failures if it makes you feel better. It won’t change anything.

In what way do you think I haven't "accepted it"? Because I still talk about it? Do you never talk about anything ever again once it's happened?
