What is that "mate" of mine Sadiq Khan trying to achieve ?

 

You lost you demented little cretin, get over it and concentrate on your job you terrorist sympathiser.

Someone that he doesn't agree with.

It's a cop out and shut down tactic to avoid a proper debate.

It's pathetic.

 Labour tried that ID card bollocks years ago. Can't recall that ending well.

He's doing that thing again where he thinks he's better and more informed than the average man in the street that's unhappy with migration centres on their doorsteps.

He knows better than them that the wider cause for their angst is stored up problems.

He knows better than that swathes of people that can't wait to vote reform because they are unhappy at the current migration crisis.

He knows better than everyone.

People shouldn't moan they should be out cavansing and acting in local politics.

Never known a single human being so out of touch with reality in my whole life.

No, not really. Its just offering a different, and in a lot of senses, a more boring factual view.

I live in Kent for gods sake - its the focal point of this ire.

It is stored up problems. I'm sorry that facts are dull, even modern history is boring, and its easy to go..I know because I'm a bloke, in the North and what i see every day is, and those who dont agree arent part of reality yadda yadda yadda. Its lazy guff.

Im sure most on here really think im dancing around in diamond winklepickers, going to private members clubs and have gold cravats delivered by angels.

I work from 5 - 6am until whenever. Three or four nights a week its 15 hour days. I run a small business that is based around working in the evening. Im exhausted most of the time with three teenage girls. So dont lord that working class 'divorced from reality' shit.

Its not only offensive, I thought you were better than that.

Never known a nation so out of touch with reality. Smackhead dole dossers, lifelong benefit claimants, alkies, people working 2 jobs and still living in poverty, cokehead tradesmen who beat their wives up, etc. etc. - all blaming migrants for their self-inflicted misfortune because they didn't try harder at school, while billionaires get richer by the second, making record profits while increasing the price of every single basic resource. And still they believe the charlatan that promised to make their lives better, but demonstrably made it even worse. It's tragic, but also funny as fuck.

Someone who thinks Farage has their best interests at heart and gives the slightest fuck about their pathetic lives.

But god knows, dont say anything or dare to even question or else you're 'out of touch'

Fucking hate that basic line of shutting down anything that might trouble the 'you dont know how it is' nonsense.

Gonzo is the only one here who lives in the real world. The likes of you and I struggle to see the peasants through our gold-plated spectacles from our ivory towers.

You really should have worked harder at school

Aye, mum from Farnworth, Dad from Little Lever, grew up in BL1 - never met someone so removed from the 'real world.'

Heaven forfend you might actually move away, have some different ideas, meet some different folks and don't 'graft' for a living.

Anyway, best get back to my plucked pheasant - the staff need to be dismissed shortly after serving.

I did, did quite well. I like working hard in my job as I did at school, its a career I chose and something I'm proud at doing well in and generally I enjoy. I'm really chuffed Ive managed to grow a small business into something that can sustain me and my family and have flexibility to be there for them.

Its hard work, but anything worthwhile doing generally is.

You’ve soon changed your tune. Unsociable hours was once down to not working  hard enough (according to you). Now it’s all about being a business owner and providing for the family 🤷🏻

I haven't moved away. Grew up in poverty on a council estate, and I still live amongst the scutters and thickos. Always will, because it's home. But fuck me it's sad to see the people around me taken in by shysters like Farage and Tice, and previously Boris. Also Trump to an extent. It's felt a bit like Invasion of the Bodysnatchers since 2016. It used to bother me, but I just laugh at them these days.

There's a difference between choosing your hours and working whenever its important for the job and having to be forced to work shifts as demanded (as my eldest is now learning)

As ever stop looking to pick an argument because you're bored.

Totally agree on that, nowhere near 3 million, but hell of a lot regardless 

Aye there was a lot. He just looks a clown lying about the numbers now. 

It's like the EU referendum all over again

Be angry at the system then, do more, be active in local politics, just dont stand outside hotels shouting as it achieves nothing.

no

we pay taxes for a reason, we elect politicians and leaders for a reason

it's not for the public  to do more

you're active in local politics and done more, but it's acheived nothing 

ps

i'm not angry, just dissapointed

No one is demanding I do anything. Maybe your eldest should have taken your advice.

You’ve conveniently left Starmer off your little list. 

Just had a pint with a bloke who made £3million last year selling houses to be turned into HMO’s.

He’s taking delivery of a new yacht this weekend.

He should be PM. Cheese would like him because he’s helping asylum seekers, Bolty would like him because he’s a massive capitalist pig, and I like him because he bought me a pint of Korev lager.

Truly a man of the people.

Starmer is a prick but nowhere near the grifting shithouses Cheese mentioned.

No.

It is for us to do more, otherwise we are passive other than ticking a box.

This is one of the biggest issues we have.

This idea we just sit back and 'someone else' will sort it out for us.

Lazy and naive.

No 

Show me something where people "do more" to support their government and are better off for it, in addition to going about their own daily lives

And if everyone works 15 hour days like you, just to get by, how are they going to find the time to do more 

The whole point of electing politicians is because they're the ones who have promised to do more 

It's their job
