I can imagine we will be horror struck as next week plays out. The cabinet will be a sight to behold.

Blimey take a chill pill Day6

and

*Your blood pressure seems a tad high tonight day6
Stressed?*

This, from our left wing posters.

My blood pressure is fine. My dislike of sneering hypocrites knows no bounds though. hmm

Perhaps the truth about left wing politics in the UK today hurts? It's a source of embarrassment maybe? Think I may have touched a nerve for you both to respond as you have. hmm

So Johnson intends to open the market to GM food. That will please Trump and his farmers.

If we go down that road, we won’t be able to sell to the EU. Our biggest market by far.

Stressed?

Patel will drive me mad. Apart from being the most hard right Home Secretary we e ever experienced, her pronunciation makes my ears steam..

Everythink.

Goin.
Somethin.

Amongst others. Grrrr

When, at the end of a decade of austerity, the priority is a bung to people earning £80k, it’s safe to say the BJ government is looking after the (relatively) rich.

trisher

I asked if you had the right Leader re Putin because Corbyn couldn't even back our government re Salisbury and Syria.

jura2 Wed 24-Jul-19 19:46:05

I totally disagree with Lemon- but I have to say that the 'take a chill pill' mantra is way out of order and not helpful.

This is the most hard right government the UK has ever had

Not so. You cannot perpetuate the myth in 2019 that the Conservative party looks after the rich. Boris in his acceptance speech acknowledged the need to care and look out for all.

You want to smear the right, but it doesn't stack up.

Labour governments haven't eradicated poverty. If anything they have become the party of the middle class.

Go and view last nights BBC2 programme about how left wing and middle class the Labour Party now is. "How the Middle Classes have Ruined Britain" They positively abhor having poor neighbours. They talk the talk but heaven forbid they walk the walk with the lower orders.

Instead they build ivory towers away from street level and pat themselves on the back that their phoney left wing credentials are OK. Despicable people.

Hypocrites!

I think we have moved on from the days of Labour being all about cloth caps and unions.

Just because a person doesn't care for the narrow elite who follow the well trodden path of Eton and Oxford/Cambridge, it is not necessarily envy or communism.

Day6 Wed 24-Jul-19 19:27:16

it could mean an awful lot of things. For Boris and his rich mates

Typical leftist remark about wealth. The politics of nastiness and envy. hmm It is sickening. No one wants your communism, no one wants your sort of corrupt social levelling.

Corbyn is a millionaire, and he has rich and influential mates too. Many Labour Party MPs are very wealthy.

I know. Makes you want to cry.

Pritti Patel as HS? Ghastly woman who opposes gay marriage and supports the death penalty, calls poor people lazy and resigned from her previous job under a cloud.

Fennel Wed 24-Jul-19 19:16:53

So what do you suggest we do about it jura?

jura2 Wed 24-Jul-19 19:02:54

yes Putin, Trump, Cambridge Analytica, Banks, Bannon - and so much more. It is indeed a desperate situation - and yes, I do find it so hard to understand how people can't or won't see. Emperor, no clothes and very very dodgy links ...

Firecracker123 Wed 24-Jul-19 18:36:14

Desperation now from the Remoaners, Putin lol. Next it will be far right Hitler references, racist slurs, mistresses new low there.

jura2 Wed 24-Jul-19 18:29:55

and still people won't or can't - see it for what it is sad

varian Wed 24-Jul-19 18:21:37

Yes I think so. Putin is the sponsor of Trump and Brexit because he wants to destabilise the West.

The man who presides over a basket case Russian economy became the most powerful politician in the world when he pulled off two coups in 2016.

If our newly elected buffoon PM is allowed to do his will and "deliver" brexit Putin will be laughing all the way to the bank.

POGS Wed 24-Jul-19 18:14:30

" Never mind, BJ's sponsor, Vladimir Putin"

Hmm, ha e you got the right Leader.

Firecracker123 Wed 24-Jul-19 18:03:21

Poppycock

jura2 Wed 24-Jul-19 18:01:51

oh thanks for the laugh V smile

varian Wed 24-Jul-19 18:01:16

Never mind, BJ's sponsor, Vladimir Putin , has congratulated BJ, so we all know we are in good hands.

Varian, grin .
