Ill have one foot in, u dont have to worry about that.

 

The referendum was a levelling down. Brexit isnt going to be an immediate success if indeed a success at all. But those in Blyth or Blackpool south want to bring the liberal elite aka hardworking business owners down with them. Absolute Scum, just like Corbyn.

 

Well im adopting the tory mantra of do for oneself and oneself only from now on. First port of call is how to get my tax bill reduced before jan 31st.

 

What are you on about? why are you offended? I didnt vote LABOUR!! how many times do i have to tell you i wont ever vote labour again.

 

Corbyn was a hopeless leader but he would not have bankrupted the country. Your conception of macroeconomics and mine are very different.
I hope you're right about Johnson as PM but I doubt it. He was an utterly useless Foreign Secretary and I see no reason to believe he'll be any better as PM.

 

I agree. Calling vast numbers of pissed off people thick is part of the problem not the solution.
But I'm still struggling to understand why people who have been fecked over by the Tories for decades think that voting Brexit is going to benefit them, especially as it involves putting the Tories back in for a potentially long period. They must have reasons, but I don't understand them.
I'm not trying to be clever or disingenuous here. I would genuinely like to know why and how people towards the bottom of the pile think that pulling out of the world's most powerful trade bloc is going to help them.

 

Do you employ people?. If so, have you thought of the consequencies of moving your company abroad, will you be laying staff off, leaving them unemployed?. Just a thought

 

The press were overwhelmingly in favour of attacking him and reading through various social media outlets Ive seen the effect it has had. Tbh It wasn't just that he was being attacked, but more the type of accusations that were being made. It's one thing seeing a misleading media article on Boris Johnson and perhaps wrongly believing he's an idiot on the back of it. The misleading coverage on Corbyn had some believing he was a terrorist loving mad man who's going to make Britain into some sort of jihadist state. He also hated Jews for being pro Palestine (which I guess makes me an antisemite aswell). And he couldn't tie his shoelaces.

Mention Corbyn and all sense of reality went out of the window. Was he the answer? I don't know. I'm not one of those that will defend him to the hilt. I understand some of the criticism and scepticism around his policies. All the other nonsense that came with it? Not for me.

 

Yes, and I say that using facts. Cuts to schools, cuts to the NHS, cuts to the police force, youth centres closed etc etc. The list is endless. As a die hard Tory who'd vote for them blindly there's nothing I can say that would convince you otherwise but I don't think most would class their 9 years (?) in power as something that even remotely resembles success.

Is Boris Johnson the answer? We'll wait and see but I highly doubt it.

 

Protesting is a way of expressing disapproval.

It's not going to achieve anything, but they have a right to do it. A bit backwards of you to suggest otherwise.

 

Ive just read several pages of you and your pals hounding another poster because he/she chooses to post on politics rather than football so get off your high horse. Hardly the empitomy of inclusiveness and tolerance are you?

There's a decent debate to be had if you really want it. You and @Edin Nowhere are nothing but a pair of cowards. Amber has posted some good stuff and shouldn't be put off posting from the likes of you.

 

Brexit created a massive problem and we have had a general election based around Brexit and get it done from to Conservatives. Getting it done how and when Boris?

Problem is other issues are not getting tackled like racism, knife crime, NHS, homeless etc. It was a load of rubbish by the the Conservatives and I don't see the direction of the country. The country is in a mess already as it is.

However, Labour were a disgrace. Corbyn had a chance to really hammer home on the conservatives shamble. Boris is a tool and Corbyn should of made mince meat out of him but no he pussy footed about.

England has its own Trump now. Don't be shocked to see the NHS sold off.

The poor are really going to suffer under Boris.

Labour really do need to get their house in order as they're an embarrassment.

 

Don't mind protests. It's a way of expression.

Police seems like a results driven business now anyway.

 

Environmentalists protest even worse and often then get in their cars. They're the worse but I don't mind a protest as I think it's important to express.

 

Turned it on watch it for around 5 minutes and turn it off, it does seem like some can't accept any form of democracy.
I believe some of the more pro remainers thought the General Election was the way out, yet didnt support the leave parties in enough numbers.

 

Very good post, not sure who could disagred with it.....but I'm sure some one will.

 

Your sneering tone is odious to say the least.

The Conservatives won. We don’t fully understand all the reasons why, we can say with confidence some of the reasons that Labour lost.

For a lot of people, whether you disagree with them or not, it’s a jarring outcome that’s going to have some reaction borne from shock. Absolutely nothing wrong with a protest. I don’t personally believe that it’s helpful, but we all have the right to do it.

Maybe if you disagree you can piss off to China. But the likelihood is that you don’t disagree with protesting in and of itself, you’re just looking for a reason to stick the boot in on people you disagree with while they’re already down.

 

I agree that the USA financial crash had a lot to do with it but Labour had plenty of warning of the problems coming with the huge Northern rock going broke and having to be nationalised in 2008 and then chose to do nothing else to protect the economy from further bank crashes, But as for austerity the public seemed to accept it was needed and chose the Tories to enable it and as such have not blamed them for the cuts in this election rather blaming the cause not the treatment

 

Not to bat too much on the front foot, but our chancellor Savid Javid was literally a managing director at Deutsche Bank through the crisis too.
