and with the people
> retarded black people
Is there any other kind?
that's unkind, unpronouncable
Yep. Didn't mean to derail the UK pol room with US stuff. But from a colonist to the mother empire, my hat's tipped to you. Well done
Whether it works here remains to be seen
I don't feel like there's a cult of support like with Trump
It feels more like there's collective relief at dodging a comminst bullet
i.e. we're giving him the benefit of the doubt
but he's basically being called, to give a poker analogy
Possibly because Trump at least had a profile that was -seen- to be successful from a layman's point of view, in business and on tv
Boris, by contrast, was an OK but eccentric mayor, and a tv/media personality
It's not concrete
Trump's appeal is that he makes the autistic left screech in pain and fear and it's provided massive amounts of entertainment. Politically however, I don't think much is getting done. We're still spending at unsustainable rates and the debt continues to skyrocket. Sure we're better economically today than when Obama left but I don't see what's being done to rein in the government to help maintain that prosperity. If anything it's bigger than ever which is what he ran against.
If you're going to run that level of deficit, you want to be able to show somethign for it. A transient amount of improvement in the economy is all very well, but he'd better off imho doing something for long term improvement
Same here - infrastructure
"Making the fucking trains run on time" is a good start
Danger with using deficit spending to improve the economy in that direct way, is it's a ponzi scheme
"Will you give way?" "No."
THat's showing leadership 🙂
They're enjoying it. That's a good sign
At this rate it seems very likely that Boris is on course to win the next election
Right. At some point the bill comes due. That's my fear, is the bubble crashes and gives way to the far left socialists looking to punish the people for Trump.
Labour hasn't really recovered at all from their defeat and no leaders have appeared who might actually have a decent chance of winning back the North and so far there have been no major mistakes by the Conservatives
Early days yet. Let's wait and see
"so far" lol it's only been a week. Give them time.
Well my point is that not many major bills are passed in a governments term and so far the main one that being Brexit has been passed in a way that Brexit Voters support
let's start the ok boomer party
run on a platform of getting rid of dumb shit like anti-privacy laws and the communications act
and the tv license fee if boris fails to do it
"When they've worked their policy out I'll give way"
Rekt
disagree with him on quote trading
ouch
you want to be rebuilding your fish stocks
