Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 This will probably amuse Americans on the differences over there to one of the genuinely great things we've done that we can be proud of. That's under serious threat of being privatised under new trade agreements. With America at the forefront of that. https://mobile.twitter.com/PaulSenior1/status/1201833213980807169 Hail.

No Excuses Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) UK election taking place today. Still probably headed for a conservative majority. Edited December 12, 2019 by No Excuses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonniey Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) Exit Polls say the Tories win big - real big. Brexit will happen (if the polls are correct of course). Conservatives projected to have 368 seats (86 seat majority) which is well beyond pre-election projections. If this holds it would be biggest electoral victory since Thatcher (Her last two were over 100 seat majorities).

DoneMessedUp Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Potentially the biggest Labor loss in almost a century. Hopefully Corbyn now exits the stage and US Dems learn a valuable lesson and stop chasing unicorns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you can go too far in who you pick as your leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I don’t follow U.K. politics, but Jeremy Corbyn is the long time supporter of Venezuela’s Chavez and Maduro right? If he’s the same guy I’m thinking of I’m kind of surprised he got this close to being PM. I thought he was just some wing nut politician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corbyn is leader of the Labor party, which means (correct me if I'm wrong) only the Labor MPs can vote out Corbyn as leader. Kind of like how House Majority/Minority leaders are elected. (Speaker of the House is actually full house vote, so not exactly the same, though effectively controlled by one party as you don't generally see Republicans voting for a Democratic speaker and vice-versa) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nonniey Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) A lot of you seem forget that Corbyn as PM would have been the worst case scenario. He would have been a catastrophe for British, US and European interests. He was what other Labour members called a Trot, as in a Trotskyist/Marxist. If there was any one person Putin would want as PM it would have been Corbyn. Edited December 13, 2019 by nonniey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Excuses Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) Just an amazing display of political and economic suicide over a three year period by both conservatives and Labour. No one wins in this. This is only the beginning of what will be a very bad decade, in which Scotland and Northern Ireland will undergo massive internal conflict, and will almost certainly vote for secession.

If there was any one person Putin would want as PM it would have been Corbyn. He’s supported Cuba, Evo Morales in Bolivia, and Venezuela’s regime. Is he really seen as an opponent of Russia? If so, how? Is there a strong armed socialist regime on the planet he doesn’t support? Certainly doesn’t appear to be any in Latin America. (Which is why I recognize his name). I understand the draw of so called democratic socialism, but this guy seems to be all in for the other kind of socialism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
