BREXIT

Something about a northern working class female that upsets you is there?

Ah the usual left wing class thing. She has done well considering her circumstances but call  me old fashioned, i just think a PM should have a certain level of education attainment and intelligence.

Nope but someone like Sajid Javid does. Hard working lad who has come from humble beginnings and who stuck two fingers up to the likes of Corbyn and Abbott by saying terrorists like Jihadi Jack and Begum can piss right off from re-entering this country.

Be thankful for his stance otherwise if it was up to Abbott they’d be on a business class flight home to face “due process”.

Javid the banker? Who helped cause the worldwide financial crash of 2008 then helped make the working people pay for it? That Javid?

Day One:

Our new PM tells (just under) half the country he is now serving to “PUT A SOCK IN IT.”

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon joins the Conservative Party.

Katie Hopkins tweets at Tory Baroness Warsi (who has repeatedly called for an inquiry into ingrained racism in her party) “YOUR party? It is OUR party now, nationalism is back, British people first.”

Some crackpot in Brixton shouting at every black and brown person walking past that “YOU lose”.

A British Asian in Newcastle had their next door neighbour tell them this morning “the Conservatives won so we won’t have to put up with you for much longer.”

Former Blairite Labour MP Ian Austin, now employed by the Tories in an advisory role, is launching an investigation on the Tories’ behalf into all left-leaning online media (after his paymasters had previously dropped hints about clamping down on Channel Four).

Damien Green, Tory MP, tells LBC listeners that we all need to start paying into an insurance type system to pay for our care.



A week ago all of the above may have been funny. Now they’ve got a mandate for it all. All of it.

The fact you picked up on my personal life rather than the content of the post says it all.

I think it's getting time towards closing the thread if only for the mental wellbeing of a certain moderator on here.

Put the phone down Nath, grab a beer and pay some attention to your wife and kids tonight

What do you make of the above developments today? Assume you’re as horrified as other right-thinking individuals in the sudden one day rise in xenophobia and words to the effect of private health insurance?

Don’t have to hear or see, just have to read the above.

Agreed. 

like i say you can't change the world.its not such a bad place look at the good bits and be thankful your not a wrexham supporter

Could be worse, you could be a Private Sector worker who has to pay for the pensions of the public sector workers, many of whom until auto enrolment never had a pension to look forward to.

There is absolutely no point at all at even attempting to discuss anything with you because your hate and prejudice for anything that is different to your beliefs or ideology will cloud and determine your response.

Javid has come from an ethnic minority working class background to become one of the most powerful men in the country. I would say the vast majority of people would respect and admire that. however, due to the fact that he’s a Conservative you probably think he’s “scum” and a “sell out”.

Ironic thing is that you mention Yaxley-Lennon, he probably has the same mindset as you.

It does sound like the Labour leadership have sleepwalked in to this slaughter. Ignoring numerous warnings about what was going on in the Country, they were hopelessly out of touch. If you're a Labour leader and people who hate Thatcher won't vote for you, you've got a big problem.

Equally ignorant were Corbyn's apologists. Quite a few people (also on this very thread) sneered when favourable Tory polls were mentioned, dismissing them without even stopping to consider what they were telling us. Yes, some polling favoured Labour but you'd have to be pretty daft to not see the general trends. Admittedly, few saw the extent of the defeat but nevertheless.

I doubt that neither May nor Johnson will be remembered for their general popularity. However they, particularly Johnson, have each comfortably beaten Corbyn and it's easy to see why.

There's much to debate in terms of where Labour go from here - allowing Corbyn to hang around like a bad smell until the Spring would be an early mistake.
