Because 1) the traditional media have little influence on elections nowadays: the SNP keep winning in Scotland despite having no media support (The National disnae count as naebody reads it). 2) The Mail and Express would trash Labour even if they promised to hang all Remainers and equip De Havilland Mosquitos to strafe channel-crossing migrants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats not what the polling shows - and political expediency dictates that Starmer will always say what "his" voters want to hear. And if that is (paraphrasing here, obvs) that "there aint no black in the Union Jack" and "I will never allow those Jock fucks to break up the Union" then thats what the p***k will say. I almost hate the current incarnation of Labour as much as the Tories because they will be voted in, the economy will be fucked because of the Tories, immigration will be sky high, the NHS and other public services will have fallen apart, and Labour will be able to do nothing and the Tories will get back in 5 years....................because the English are daft sheep believign what the fucking Express tells them And we will still be part of their shitshow despite what you or I want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Personally I think Brexit should be exposed as a scam. If there really is £350 million more week for the NHS then why can't they give nurses a pay rise. Constantly ask where the benefits are. Make it embarrassing for anyone to admit they voted Leave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theroadlesstravelled Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I see James O’Brien is having a rant about Brexiteers who don’t want to talk about Brexit. f**k knows who he thinks is intelligent enough to debate him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By no means all of the interviewed leavers are 'old'. Nor were those who voted leave. The most accurate predictor of voting leave was lack of educational attainment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s proof that the Germans will still want to sell us cars after Brexit.

This is a lifting on banned UK products (pork) going into S.Korea. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/british-pigs-in-blankets-on-the-menu-in-south-korea-this-christmas-thanks-to-trade-win#:~:text=UK government has secured the,pork products to South Korea.&text=UK companies can export products,exports of processed pork products. It's dated 24th Dec '22 - I like this part Quote We have removed that barrier in time for Christmas and it is worth so much to farmers over the Christmas Period I will add that S.Korea are the 4 largest country for imported pork. The Netherlands are the 4th largest exporter to them, £113,000,000 or (8.9% of all pork imports) in 1 year to during covid, when imports were down. 2021. This is a nothing deal..... maybe up to £1,000,000 over 5 years. I would be embarrassed to make this public. etA - I just read the Express report. They are so proud. 'Brixit WIN'. Holy Fuk!
