The State Opening of Parliament (again)

China?! The cradle of democracy and human rights!!!! Re education camps come to mind entirely for Muslims! Wow, are they ALL terrorists?!!!

Am I right GagaJo that you’re off to work in China because you’ll be paid what you’re worth there? If so, how does that fit with the very worthy comments in you last post?

Urmstonegran, I am so left-wing/socialist, my views have NEVER been popular

Seems the election result certainly bears that out.

For all people may comment on JC's lack of interaction with BJ, it was JC who actually noticed that someone was either about to trip over something or bump into something and warn them. He then grimaced in concern for said person. Credit where credit is due.

Not sure where you got this info Annie. I feel just the same, and I shall be 69 in the New Year.

You were born after the 70’s, explains much Gagajo

Urmstonegran, I am so left-wing/socialist, my views have NEVER been popular. Better a caring virtue signaller than a selfish Boomer, only concerned with their own pocket.

I've NEVER lived under a socialist government (my age). This isn't new to me. No need to get used to it.

My principals aren't based on my pocket. I'm financially better off under the Tory jack boot, ironically. Not that that is my aim. I prefer to support the vulnerable in society.

Boris did not hide anywhere.
He went into the fridge as he was joining an early morning milk round.

The tv reporter tried to ambush him egged on by Piers Morgan.

The unhinged hyperbole of the Remainer grassroots is matched only by its clinical hypocrisy. In particular, those who usually love to virtue-signal about minority rights are in disgusted denial about the fact that their views are no longer mainstream.

Slowly but surely they will get used to it because the result speaks volumes.

Better than hiding in a fridge and being incapable of doing a TV interview. Coward.

Really Anniebach? A Tory supporter making comments about someone hiding from the press? OH THE IRONY!!!!

Anyone else read about DWP removes option for claimants to choose whether work assessment outcomes are reported to GPs? Another attempt to undermine the rights of a vulnerable group. Election less than a week old and ALREADY attacking vulnerable groups.

Oh you must all be SO proud.

Totally graceless in defeat.

Boris was at Richard Murdoch's Christmas party on Monday.

Paying back all the free lies and propaganda provided by the Aussie multi millionaire.

It was petty and embarrassing, he had Diane Abbott to walk back with , Johnson, Corbyn, Abbott.

Reminded of when he was asked a question by a female reporter, ‘stop harassing me’ then he hid behind a glass door.

He should have resigned immediately and with some grace.
Churlish unpleasant man.

Even this from the sainted John Crace in the Guardian today:

“On the walk from the Commons to the Lords, Boris Johnson repeatedly tried to engage the Labour leader in small talk. Corbyn looked as if he was about to be physically sick, walking jerkily like a broken cyborg, his head fixed rigidly ahead as he steadfastly avoided any conversation. It was petty and peevish, but the best he could manage under the circumstances.”

#QueenSpeech Bojo Accused Of 'Breaking Promises' On Minimum Wage Hike

Boris Johnson stands accused of rowing back on his pledge to hike the minimum wage to £10.50.

#ToryLies

@Dr_JCarter

People are actually surprised that the Conservatives have already begun back peddling on their manifesto commitments.

You mustn’t have been paying attention the last 10 Years.

This is what they do. Lie.

#Parliament #QueenSpeech

Might have got name wrong WW2 or WW3, sorry.

jura2

I have no evidence WW2 has changed her name whatsoever. Just felt haven’t seen her posting since the election, she was always very vocal in her views so surprised not to see her opinions on things now. Also a few new names, also with forthright comments, so thought it may be her.
Of course, I may be adding two and two and making five! I’m no Miss Marple!

Could well have been ! Queen Anne the same. Poor woman had 17(!!) pregnancies and only one living child who died aged 11 (enter George 1st!!) Henry and Katherine did have a living son who died at six weeks. Had he lived history would have been totally different.

Speaking of pomp and pageantry, I found the sword, the crown (with a roller all to itself, fhs!) and the hat on a stick (yes, I know it has some grand title or other) rather other worldly.

Like a strange tribe that worships various icons, which must be processed on state occasions. Most archaic.

She looked tired to me.

Yes, Dragonfly46, I also felt it was very much 'forced marches' with the Queen. Rather hoped she would end by saying "can I b****r off now'?
