Conservative party conference outcomes

We live in hope.

This is interesting reading.

Suck it up, losers. Bags of nuts and "proper" light bulbs.

So it was all worth it, then.

It seems then that project fear was the plan all along. Weird how the Brexiters on here rubbished everything we were saying at the time, but are now saying that they always knew this would happen..

They seem to be taking a leaf out of their beloved leaders book and telling porkies.

I clearly recollect Urm suggesting there would be a bumpy road for a while after B. Seems she was correct.

I don't even recall her being on Gnet before the referendum, let alone making predictions of 'bumpy roads ahead'.

(I'd only respect a prediction of 'bumpy road' made in the run up to the ref. not at any time after it)

Just got a lot of hot air so far. Nothing sorted. Nothing planned to fix anything. Just happy optimism relayed in true Churchill acted out fashion. As usual jokes are the way through because that is his forte.

Sorry , no idea what happened there. !

Lovely quote from the Times article."He sounded at times like a man standing at the bar in the first class lounge of the Titanic ordering another round of drinks and regaling his fellow-passengers with funny stories shortly just after midnight when it's just about come clear there aren't enough lifeboats. ".the article is headed" Boris the clown is wrong act for tough Times "
I don't remember hearing say exactly what he was going to do, apart from give a £3,000 premium to attract teachers to deprived areas, which would replace a similar scheme tried in 2019 and abandoned .
Plans, no but material for end of pier show, plenty.

I agree, the 'scum' comment was shameful. But that doesn't excuse our Prime Minister's constant so called 'jokes'.

The thing is Greta he did get on to the serious stuff which of course constituted the vast majority of the speech.

That's not really the case though, is it?

The lighthearted jokes were just that, lighthearted. The Corbyn comment made me laugh out loud!

Or maybe you would have preferred him to have taken a leaf out of Angela Rayner’s book and talked about Labour scum?
Now THAT was shameful.

I love it!

Shame on you then. Boris Johnson is our Prime Minister. He should govern – not fool around. Unfortunately for us his modus operandi is ”I haven't got a proper plan, I don't know what to do next, this could get sticky so I'll just crack a joke, preferably with an insult and they will all love me for it. IMO he is a disgrace.

What’s worrying me is how Urmstongran is planning to cook her fish without any power - maybe the candle will do the job?

Ceviche. Which is OK provided the fish is really fresh. Don't need any heat for that.

Blimey, you have very low standards if you think that was anything other than pathetic, clunky and totally irrelevant.

Urmstongran

And Keir Starmer a “human weathervane”.
?

Good grief! How childish! It's unbelievable that anybody can be impressed by it.

Urmstongran

And Keir Starmer a “human weathervane”.
?

Yeah, he's not that clever, it's a meme off Facebook from about 5 years ago. He called him Captain Hindsight the other day.

What a fabulous role model Boris is for our youth.

one of her tenants?

I’m confused again. What ? Who ?

And Keir Starmer a “human weathervane”.

Urmstongran

This is truly shocking ...

Andy Burnham has condemned a protest banner at the Conservative Party conference in Manchester that recalled the 1984 Brighton bombing by the IRA.

Unknown protesters hung a banner from a bridge over the Irwell River, Greater Manchester, which read: “Remember we only have to be lucky once’.

... I'm a die-hard anti-Tory, and I want to see them wiped out politically. But I think that banner and those who are responsible for it are despicable.

It's an incitement to violence - and an insult to those killed and injured. No politician, whatever their stripe, should be subjected to threats and intimidation like this.

Is this what passes for appropriate comment from the leader of our country now?

Makes me ashamed.

“We finally sent that corduroy Communist cosmonaut into space where he belongs” !

I love it!

Still no uptake tho on those small French fishing boats ....

Ooh look at the pile on! Illustrates the anti-Brexit feeling here on GN in a nutshell.

Cooked fish by BBQ anyone? It’s delicious.
But we all know it won’t be necessary.
Just the silly French Minister sabre rattling!

No one is anti or pro Brexit anymore Unrmstongran. Again you don't get it. It has happened.

What comes next is how our country deals with its citizens and its - so far - allies. How it moves forward and ensures our futures.

You are simply showing your obsession for the past and that one day when you could say "we won".
