Maybe also "slightly less racist than Corbyn"?Originally Posted by rory_20_uk
God it's a pretty pathetic time for Democracy in the UK.
"Being better than Corbyn" is possibly one of the most depressing slogans to have - but what else can the Tories offer?
That's a pretty damning indictment of the Labour party right there.

Re: UK Election 2019
I suggest making one more thread on Brexit and at least a couple of threads on Uk politics. There can never be too much of UK. Neither can there be enough of Trump.
Re: UK Election 2019
Embarrassing, and apologies to Beskar. However, I would respectfully submit that when Beskar posted his thread the game was not actually afoot.

Re: UK Election 2019
And Boris Johnson demonstrably lies about the key issue that this election has been called on, with his claims contradicting what his Brexit secretary has already said on the subject. Will any Brexiteers care? Nope.
Re: UK Election 2019
What do you suggest those supporting Brexit do? Is there an alternative mechanism to complete Brexit?

Fuck off and die?What do you suggest those supporting Brexit do?
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

Re: UK Election 2019
One thing that strikes me in all the talk about PMs is that everyone loses sight of the MPs. Parliament is where the action is, so one should take into account the MPs (party) that constitute a potential PM's power base.
As far as I'm concerned, more Labour MPs has to be better than more Conservative MPs.
You should spend more time doing that on the Org rather than social media. It's more productive, I promise.Its Jew / rich bashing or Muslim / poor bashing.
