The media has a lot to answer for All they have done is frenzy up the doom and gloom and help to heighten tension This could have been avoided if they had been pro active instead of reactive My Facebook is now full of posts where people are abusing " immigrants" I thought the British would pull together but it seems the sheep are once again led by the media frenzy instead of researching for themselves It's like watching spoilt children not getting their own way i shouldn't be surprised really because society is now reeping what it sowed Selfish people
I've just found this campaign write up about how things unfolded. Quite how accurate it is I don't know but an interesting insight none the less if true. How David Cameron blew it – POLITICO
And this post is on Facebook with a substantial share number, it's been posted by a Remain voter and whilst containing a few swear words I must say it's made me chuckle. Good on him : "Right. Fuck this. We're ALL up shit creek and we need a paddle. Now, not in three months. Fellow Remain voters: Enough already. Yes, we're all pissed off but navel gazing ain't gonna help. Not all 17 million Leave voters can possibly be racist northern pensioners without an O level to their name. Maybe they have a point about this quitting the EU thing? Maybe not. Whatever, we are where we are and no amount a whinging is gonna change that. Allegedly we're the intelligent ones, so get your thinking caps on. Leave voters. Well done. Good game. We hear you. Now you need to get stuck in to the aftermath and not just piss off back to Wetherspoons. (Just banter, twats!). And the first person to say they "want their country back" gets deported to fucking Gibraltar. OK? Politicians. David. Fuck off. Shut the door behind you. Now. George. You may be a twat but you're our twat. Plus you know the passwords for our Junior Savers account. Get your calculator. Drop the face-like-a-slapped-ass routine. You're on. Boris. Sorry mate. That photo of you abseiling by your scrotum over the London Olympics while waving a Union Jack can't ever be un-taken. Plus, you'll never be able to appear on Question Time again without some sturdy Glaswegian nurse asking where the fuck her 350 million quid is. Not only will she have a very good point, she'll be wearing a T shirt that shows you gurning in front of that fucking bus! No captains hat for you I'm afraid. Theresa. You're in charge love. Get the biggest shoulder pads you've got. We need Ming The Merciless in drag and you'll scare the shit out of 'em. Nicola. Yep. Fair cop. You probably could get us on a technicality, as could London. But we fucking love shortbread. And oil. And to be honest you're probably the best politician we've got, so we need you on side. Sort your lot out and we promise never to mention that Jimmy Krankie thing again (although it is pretty uncanny) and we'll make you a Dame once we're sorted. Bring Ruth Davidson. She kicks ass. Opposition party. We'll need one. Someone take Jeremy and John back to the British Legion Club where you found them. Take Nigel as well. Give back their sandals, buy them a pint, then go to Heathrow and collect David Milliband. Fuck it. Lets gets Ed Balls as well. He keeps George on his toes. I think he works on the lottery kiosk at Morrisons now? Oh. And Mark Carney. Give him a knighthood and tell him to keep that shit coming. We definitely need more of that good shit! Everyone set? Right. Hold the Easyjet. We're going to Brussels and this ain't no hen party. #weneedaplan
:Hilarious:. well that took the sting out the venom shown several posts back. love it. :smileys: a cool reminder that they aint all assholes.
Not bad,for someone who voted the other way. But not Theresa May: she wasn't on the right side,and it was obvious her main objective was to position herself for a possible leadership contest.Professional she is,passionate she ain't. And not Sturgeon either.She's a shrew,her own country voted to stay in the UK,(that means all of us),but she's more selfish than the worst Union Leader. Here's a thing:a Labour MP says that the democratically held Referendum should be ignored,and now the Shadow Cabinet wants to sack the democratically elected,(by members of their own party),Leader. Seems like Labour MP's have decided they know better than the people who voted for them... the irony of it!
That's odd because mine is full of people saying leave = illiterate, racist thicko. And very few with self-congratulating posts about the vote going that way The remainers are behaving like petulant kids (incl the labour shadow cabinet!) rather than accepting a democratic decision and getting on with it That's a shame as it shows a lack of respect for anyone with a different view.
Ah not people congratulating themselves posts of pictures Reports of people shouting at immigrants to go home Cant be arsed to trawl back through it all to show you what I mean
Corbyn was elected as leader for the same reason that Leave won. People want change. They are sick of austerity and want an alternative. Milliband and the Blairites weren't offering it. That doesn't mean that Corbyn isn't a leadership disaster, because he is. He'll have to go. The moment Labour can come up with someone charismatic who is vocally anti-austerity they'll be in business again. Someone a bit like Sturgeon...
heres hopping the rest of europe and the globe still like Scottish whiskey what with it accounting for a third (i said previously a half that was wrong) of the UK's balance of trade. i fail to understand why some dont get the scotts angle. especially after recognition of project fear felt by many on the brexits side. the full force of all the uk media including the BBC the last Minuit intervention and vow. all shown to be bollox. wheres your democracy now? indi was apposed not even two years ago by lies and full blown fear hence the position and scenarios arising now. a rod for theirs and your back.. if you are genuinely interested go looking for the wee black book. in there it details the promises given then denied.including the constant you can only stay in the EU by voting to remain in the UK. there will be no rewriting of history here. the only thing that will change for me re indi if it arises is that i wont be fighting it on ere. (unless it's to correct some miss information and highlight the odd bit of hypocrisy ) :smileys:. i know many wont care. but thats not my fault.
The method for choosing the leader of the Conservative party, and hence the PM, is the same as it always was. We, the voters, do not directly elect the PM.
it would be nice to get a tory leader/ PM from the north of England or Wales just so the can have a constant reminder what their party has done to the UK.
Most of the present breed of front bench politicians are just dire career opportunists. It has to be said that Sturgeon, despite that hairstyle, is a star performer, it is just a pity she was born north of the border.
yip. if we are gonna elect our leaders based on hairstyle lets get? Teresa may? i suspect she will have more hair follicles than her opponents (and tory voters) have brain cells. :smileys:
I think you're right about the media. It has been entirely negative and when you've got challenges on your hands being negative is the last thing you want. This result is ideal for the media. It's going sell a lot of issues, a lot of advertising space. Keeping the drama ramped up helps. As for the young and metropolitan London - Christ, you'd think we'd declared war. I think I'm going to have to step away from the debate because we've had it now. Time to get on with life.
You have to admit that those who voted to leave have been left looking a bit bloody stupid (to put it mildly)? I saw someone describe it at the weekend as like having a great night out with the lads, one of you decides to drag everyone out the pub to move on but when you get outside you dont know where to go or cant get in anywhere else. No one likes that person.
