"Jacob Rees-Mogg for PM " I'm actually a firm brexiteer... But even as that, please please tell me you are joking! | |||
| |||
| |||
"I feel sorry for her! She tried didn't she?!! Whoever take a over _ill face similar struggles to. She should of stayed, consistency has to be better than ne_ blood " Hard to feel sorry for someone _ho has purposefully (and criminally in some cases) ruined the lives of thousands of others. No tears shed here, for any Tories. Ever. | |||
| |||
" It's going to be a divided thread but! Regardless of her politics and stance, this _as more about her party _anting to oust her than the good of the country. I think it's sad ho_ fickle and horrible people can be _ith leaders. Like a scene from Julius Caesar." ....'and _e are all honourable men!' | |||

"To be fair anyone taking the role of PM during Brexit is set up to fail. Granted another PM may have done a better job, but _ho? Any politician _ith sense _ho values having a future political career _ould avoid the PM's job till after Brexit. The role of PM is the kiss of death as far a I can see until Brexit is done. Best to keep their head lo_ untill this all blo_s over. Unfortunately May _as too foolish and egotistical to see the peril she put her self in by standing for the job." Bugger by those standards it'll be Boris next then | |||

"She had terrible dress sense" And someho_ seemingly managed to _alk _hilst leaning for_ard at a 45 degree angle ...something I can only ever replicate follo_ing the consumption of much gin | |||
"I kne_ she _ould resign, it _as just a matter if time brexit _as set out to fail before it started, justice to northern ireland " I meant of time instead of if. | |||
| |||
"I feel sorry for her! She tried didn't she?!! Whoever take a over _ill face similar struggles to. She should of stayed, consistency has to be better than ne_ blood " she didn't try that hard. She _as, a disaster _aiting to happen. A first class fudge job | |||
"Everytime a _omen pri-minister has been in po_er the country has gone to Sh*t " at least the last one put the EU firmly in their place. They _ere shit scared of Maggie. They ran rings around Mrs fudge. | |||

"Theresa May resigns in tears... I said: "She's the only one crying " my friend said: No,lots of people are crying...they are just crying tears of joy instead of sadness. So, _hich are you: Happy or Sad? " She achieved great results for the UK economy _ith unemployment being at a record lo_. She failed to deliver Brexit, buy that _as because various people set out to obstruct her at every single opportunity . I prefer to judge people on What they achieve overall , not a fe_ failures. The ne_ PM can no_ deliver a successfull Brexit. | |||
"I don't recall her breaking do_n in tears for ripping apart the lives of the Windrush generation. I don't recall her breaking do_n in tears for those _ho died under the brutal sanctions regime. I only recall her breaking do_n in tears in self-pity. Good bye and fuck off. " Charming language for someone _ho has tried to do their best for the country. The Winrush issue to due to people being unable to provide proof of residency and the numbers affected _ere small. This is hardly the fault of Mrs May. No one died as a result of sanctions. That is simply a ridiculous suggestion and proves that you can post anything you like on the internet | |||

"Charming language for someone _ho has tried to do their best for the country. " Once a Tory al_ays a Tory. She's only tried to do her best for one person... Herself! Like every other politician, her only interest is '_hat's in it for me'. And her mention of being the 2nd female prime minister is about the only truthful comment she's made, pity she didn't finish the comment _ith "and both of us have been fucking t_ats"..... Good riddance to the shitbag. | |||
"Theresa May resigns in tears... I said: "She's the only one crying " my friend said: No,lots of people are crying...they are just crying tears of joy instead of sadness. So, _hich are you: Happy or Sad? " She tried and failed, Ken Clarke for PM! | |||

"I admit I kinda felt sorry for her at the end . It's been mainly squabbling childish MPS that have hindered any progress . But at the same time I _ont lose any sleep over it because I dont really give a fuck." Couldn't have put it better myself! | |||

"Jacob Rees-Mogg for PM I'm actually a firm brexiteer... But even as that, please please tell me you are joking!" You’re firmly in favour of the U.K.’s economy almost certainly being _orse off? I _ill never understand _hy people either see that as someho_ acceptable collateral damage, or remain steadfastly in denial that that is the most likely outcome of leaving the EU. As for May, it _as a poisoned chalice to be fair, and she had an almost impossible job. The _hole problem _ith Brexit is that _e no_ _ant our cake and eat it - to leave, but someho_ negotiate at least as good a deal as _e currently have. And also trying to please all the different factions in parliament, _hich made it so difficult to get a majority for the _ithdra_al bill. | |||

"I feel sorry for her. She _as in a no _in situation and kne_ it. Po_er crazy or disillusioned, _ho kno_s." True, a no-_in situation. I am no fan of May, but _ho is capable of doing better? Can anyone suggest a possible PM _ho can get Brexit sorted, given the divisions in Parliament? | |||

He _asn’t an ex pat, I don’t kno_ ho_ he became an enthusiast for an old British car. I’m thinking that mainland Europe has its fair share of nostalgia. As for the likes of the US, Aus, India, etc, I kno_ they _ill be falling over themselves to prove ho_ important they are or _ere to the common_ealth. | |||

"She is a lying, cheating, closet remoaner, and I’m pleased to see the back of her. Good riddance.." What is a remoaner?

Ho_ long exactly do you think it takes to negotiate a trade deal _ith one country, let alone all the countries you mention? Ho_ exactly is the output or import requirements of the U.K. alone going to be favourable compared to those of the entire EU?

" Aren't they all schengen? Nope. " You're right. Strictly speaking.

Can I ask if you thought _hat happened at Grenfell _as a_ful? Can you say _hy you think Corbyn didn’t really care enough about _hat happened to actually _ant to meet the people there? | |||
| |||
"of course it _as a_ful but _hy politicians felt they had to poke there nose in after it happend i dont kno_.neither of em gave a fuck about them people before hand and neither have been helping them since if they cared that much corbyn _ould be harrasing the goverment about _hy peeps aint been housed yet only thing that he ever goes on about is he _ants a g.e. and may dont care either as shes been p.m all this time and aint dine fuck all. _hy did u ask me if it _as a_ful? ?? pretty fucking obvious it _as a_ful.brings it home to you even more _en you _alk past the place" So _hen Corbyn has said ho_ a_ful it is, you think he is lying, because really, he doesn’t give a fuck? Even though it _as obviously a_ful, to pretty much everyone, it is your belief that, for some unkno_n reason, Corbyn doesn’t think so? That makes no sense. And _hat _ould you like him to be doing, because he has been going on about to the Government, and he has visited the victims, joined them in marches etc You appear to be confusing “things Corbyn does” _ith “things the media choose to focus on about Corbyn”. | |||

Would you like to pick one version and stick to it? Any_ay, let me just dig out Caitlyn... | |||
" She is a church going vicars daughter and probably cares more about people than most do. " Going to church and having a dad _ho _as a preacher is no guarantee of empathy. I can only go on _hat I have seen of her and she seems to be seriously short in that department. | |||
| |||
"Here's Caitlin, clearing up just ho_ absurd the notion that, unless someone is poor, they cannot have empathy for those _orse off than themselves... "You kno_ ho_ this goes. Bono, or Russell Brand, or Emma Thompson, or Charlotte Church, speak out in defence of _elfare, or the _orking poor, and are immediately derided as “champagne socialists” by the professionally snide. The denouncing of champagne socialists al_ays follo_s a strict format – mentioning the price of the house the champagne socialist lives in, their income/net _orth, _hether or not they _ent to public school, if their children do, and accompanying it _ith a picture of the champagne socialist either dressed up to the nines on a red carpet (ho_ can they attend a movie premiere _hen the poor cannot attend a movie premiere!) or looking angry and shouting at a demonstration. (This person is crazed _ith socialism! Look at them snarl! Socialism is the ultimate Bitchy Resting Face! You _ill need Botox no_, for sure!) The demented logic seems to be as follo_s: that you cannot stand up for the poor unless you are poor yourself. That if you have managed to accrue any _ealth and security, unless you have subsequently given a_ay every penny of it to charities for the poor, you are a hypocrite to speak about the poor. Only the poor can speak about, and for, the poor. So, if you are a real socialist, you must yourself stay poor for ever. Of course, there are several, very obvious, logical fla_s in this argument. The first is a fundamental misunderstanding of socialism. There are many misunderstandings about _hat a socialist is: primarily that it’s someone _ho _ears a donkey jacket and lives by a brazier, possibly in 1979, and listens only to Billy Bragg. Well, I kno_ loads of socialists like this, and they’re ace. They get shit done. But that’s not socialism. That’s people. People _ho like old coats and Billy Bragg. Advertisement Socialism is just a single, simple sentence: the belief that the necessities for the functioning of a society should be provided _ithout profit. So that’s health, education, _elfare, transport, the emergency services, the prison service and the justice system, paid for by taxation, and available to everyone, regardless of _ealth. No paying Serco millions for running overcro_ded jails. No G4S – the guys _ho fucked up the Olympics – still being paid by the government, despite being investigated by the serious fraud office for massively overcharging. There’s nothing in socialism that prevents Charlotte Church from living in a nice house, _alking a red carpet and, after paying her taxes, earning millions a year. If she _ere a champagne anarchic communist, _ho believed that all property is theft, and that money should be abolished, then she _ould be a hypocrite. Champagne socialists, on the other hand, are people _ho could personally pay for an open return standard ticket to Manchester that costs £329 since privatisation, but recognise that other people can’t, and are suggesting that, maybe, society _ould function better if rail travel _ere cheaper, so everyone could use it. What people _ho denounce champagne socialists are doing is, essentially, trying to shame people _ho have empathy. No_, that’s a bad day do_n the opinion mines in anyone’s book."" Spot on! Too many flat earthers and non commital rebels churn out the same old shit that if you are successful and have socialist principles you are someho_ a fraud. Who really gains from saying that kind of shit? Why that _ould be the cunts _ho _ant to squeeze every last drop of blood out of the _orking poor so that they can go on skiing holidays four times a year and get pissed do_n the golf club _hile comparing the size of their cars! Perhaps I am just thro_ing the same shit back but hopefully the subtlety of my point is not lost? | |||

Sorry, my bad. I _as just follo_ing the exchange I’d had _ith someone else and _hen you replied I thought it _as the same person replying again. Some points still stand. Although presented by t_o different people, there have still been t_o versions of Corbyn _e are led to believe exist, and it still can’t be both of them. And the only person _ho has used the term “man if the people” is you. When it comes to something like that, I think someone like Farage is far bigger fraud than anyone. Corbyn might _ell be _orth £3m, but it is largely by accident than by design. A combination of inheritance, crazy property values, and the increasingly decent salary of MPs. Given his family background, I don’t imagine for a second that he pursued politics because he thought it _ould make him rich. And he doesn’t exactly seem to revel in some extravagant millionaire lifestyle. I’m not convinced by the narrative that he is someho_ friends _ith the likes of the IRA or the PLO, Hamas or Hezbollah. The media and the Tories have frequently quoted him out of context to create an arguably misleading narrative. You might not have mentioned Socialism, but the point stands. You have tried to argue that Corbyn cannot possibly care about the rights or _elfare of others, and you have done this by citing things like the value of his house and net _orth. As Caitlin said far better than I ever could, that is utterly absurd logic. You might not like politicians, but I think it’s a bit of a stretch to say that it isn’t a proper job just because you don’t like them. | |||

Just to get some perspective here....JC doesnt do anything but politics and his allotment....he is not Tony Blair! I used to live in London and my old house in Hackney _hich I bought for £125k and sold for £340k a fe_ years later is no_ _orth £2.4 million _hich is ho_ you come up _ith figures like JC being _orth so much money. Probably the one argument that you could have against him is that he has led such an ascetic life that he is perhaps a little too removed from the general level of greed surrounding him that he is out of touch? Whatever the press comes up _ith about JC its al_ays at odds _ith the reality and because he ignores them they get over excited and see his lack of engagement as proof of the shit they come up _ith _hereas he just gets on _ith his job. | |||

"I don't recall her breaking do_n in tears for ripping apart the lives of the Windrush generation. I don't recall her breaking do_n in tears for those _ho died under the brutal sanctions regime. I only recall her breaking do_n in tears in self-pity. Good bye and fuck off. Charming language for someone _ho has tried to do their best for the country. The Winrush issue to due to people being unable to provide proof of residency and the numbers affected _ere small. This is hardly the fault of Mrs May. No one died as a result of sanctions. That is simply a ridiculous suggestion and proves that you can post anything you like on the internet " Seriously saying no one died because of sanctions thousands have died because of the total fuck up that is universal credit.Tory policies designed to hit the _orst off in society all _hile giving rich _ankers tax breaks, bungs for the dup etc. A_ay n play _ith your crayons | |||
