D Angelo Barksdale Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 You can tell that Johnson has outlived his usefulness now to the folk who shitfested him into power in 2019. His bumbling clownshoes act is now reflecting badly on them. The right wing press are turning and he's probably got 12 months max before he gets the boot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is a buffoon whose shelf life has a short date and I'll be pleased to see the back of him. This is how mature democracies work. Meanwhile, in Holyrood, we have a regional assembly leader less competent than Boris and a local administration more mendacious than the Tories but the daft ScotchNats on here voted for them to have 5 more years with their snouts in the trough.

I know you have no vote and are probably a wee bit out of touch with Scottish affairs.....but who would you have as alternative Scotgov? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in 2019 I voted for the Lib Dems - not because I like them but because they were the ones more likely to overturn a Conservative majority. This didn't work but the majority was reduced. In June's by-election I again voted Lib Dem and this time it worked and Sarah Green was sent to WM. So the answer to your question is: Vote for whomever is most likely to defeat an incompetent and unscrupulous incumbent. This clearly doesn't apply in Scotchland where you're happy to be governed by complete dross who are running the region into the ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtgilphead Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I note that Sebastian Payne (Financial Times) was trying to exaggerate Johnson's importance on Sky's paper review. Apparently, Johnson was the first person Joe Biden called after being elected POTUS. In real life, Johnson wasn't even the first leader of his country to be called. Biden called Trudeau (Canada) and Obrador (Mexico) on Jan 22. He didn't phone Johnson until the next day. I'm sure that this was just another innocent mistake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't the voters who shitfested him over the the line and it won't be the voters who empty him. Your 'mature democracy' is a grotesquerie of archaic nonsense, unelected peers, an inbred family with gold hats, right wing media barons, tax dodging billionaires and a bunch of 'representatives' who are bought and paid for corporate stooges and shills for despicable regimes across the globe. 1 hour ago, The_Kincardine said: Meanwhile, in Holyrood, we have a regional assembly leader less competent than Boris and a local administration more mendacious than the Tories. She's certainly had a bit of a nightmare recently and has gone down in mine and many people's estimations, but by any measure, this is utter nonsense that has no bearing on reality. 1 hour ago, The_Kincardine said: the daft ScotchNats on here voted for them to have 5 more years with their snouts in the trough. Yet the Tories have been returned 4 times in the last 11 years down south, moving to the right each time. Weird huh ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK is definitely a state, and is intended to be a nation state, but the nation-building project has never been fully effective. There has always been a large part of the population (of the original UK) that has felt English, Scots or Welsh (even Cornish) instead of or more than British. Continually calling it a Nation-State does not make it one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Given that Labour are a bit hopeless the Tories spunking money to prevent voter fraud in a General Election that they're bound to win easily anyway seems a bit daft. Unless they think the nasty Nats are benefitting from voter fraud... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
