  3. Out of curiosity when will you admit that this is a complete clusterfuck that benefits no one but the establishment?
     
  4. I think I should close this thread

  6. So who do we look to give advice? The politicians? No marks on a motorbike forum?
     
  7. Politicians have always been clusterfucks and have always done it for the benefit of the establishment, this goes back to adam and eve and the snake started causing trouble. I accept that as a sideshow

    In my life I have always made my own luck and own misery. It is refreshing however to have a parliament that now has a feel good factor about it and a pride in the U.K. and it's people, rather than the grinches who go around telling everyone everything is shit

    I'll still do what I do and the main government has very little input into that

  8. Here are a few experts

    Ayrton Senna
    Albert Einstein
    Your Doctor
    Sir Norman Foster

    you want to have a crack and tell them why they should be ignored? Or just the experts you don’t agree with?

    I do wonder how many people have been trading Sterling today? Are they all wrong to perceive the risk to be increased ?

    the in depth opinion poll which sampled every constituency was pretty accurate.

  9. The day that Ayrton Senna and Albert Einstein say that Brexit is a bad idea, I certainly will. :eyes:

    I must have missed their comments on the metter tbh. :rolleyes:

  10. I too have made my own luck and my own misery. However the scale of both is shaped by state of the nation and the government in place at the time. Conservative government has been good to me personally in the past, I’ll admit.

    However I can’t help but think that this current crop of of politicians are the most self serving and cynical ever and the general public and business in general will suffer for a generation whilst the fat cats get fatter.

    I hope I’m wrong but nothing said or done so far over the past 3.5 years points to that. And that saddens me.

  11. I think we were at a stage when parliament was at an impass and nothing was happening, people had just had enough and that did huge damage to our image overseas and damage to democracy at home. There seems to be an uplift in hope at the moment and if it was just from tories and tories only then you could understand cynicism but this election seemed to do away with the old traditional boundaries of always voting labour, tory etc

    I'm sure if Boris fucks it up, he will be punished at the next election but at the moment, it just feels good to be moving forward rather than stagnating in a cesspit of hatred where there should have not been one had the democratic majority vote been respected
     
  12. I agree. Things were at an impasse.........and maybe Boris will sort things. However his track record of what he says and what he does wouldn’t suggest that he will.

    I’m not saying that Corbyn would have btw.

    IMO there’s the thickness of a cigarette paper of difference between the two of them as to who could be the biggest liability to the UK’s future prosperity and development.

  14. There is that risk of course, politics like shares, are not something you should bet on unless you are prepared to loose. For me and for the moment, it's just refreshing to see someone who doesn't see the U.K. as a useless shit hole every 5 minutes and can see the potential the U.K. and it's people have

    for now, I'll go with that

  15. what party was it that said this again?
    British workers are "among the worst idlers in the world", a group of Conservative MPs has claimed. The UK "rewards laziness", does not encourage risk-taking and must strive to emulate the work ethic and low-tax culture in parts of Asia, the five MPs argue in a book due out next month.

  19. It's just popped into my head that we haven't seen much of the forum's own village idiot since the election, our very own Duke. :)

    I thought we'd take a quick look back at some of his best bits over the last 6 months. :bucktooth:

    Feel free to add your own, there are loads to go about. :grinning:
