Admirably succinct. As usual, the problem confronting the right wing in elections is how to persuade the turkeys to vote for Xmas. They rely on the fact that most low paid, semi-skilled, unskilled, and unemployed people are not very bright or educated, and can be tricked and deceived. Sometimes the rich and powerful succeed in this, sometimes not, but more often they succeed.
He's not looking so silly now.. I wonder what the outcome will have on our own situation. Will Mr Trump be a bit more pro UK, than Hillary?
well he's pals with Farage, and whilst he doesn't exactly have any heavy sway with our current government , Mr Farage still has a voice in the UK..... its anybodies guess what will happen now. Buckle up people
I'm not pro Trump but Hillarys words about the uk re. eu, with obama in the mix did not give confidence regarding future trade. Who knows what goes on behind closed doors.. I suspect the UK is important to the EU and US in this global economy we are all tied in to but they shug it off publically as insignificant.. I'm sure it will all work out eventually. I think something like this was bound to happen after the finanical crash.
The educated minorities outvoted by the uneducated masses who take charisma and trust it. Wonder if the remoaners believe it should be a null vote given the unwanted outcome....
I wonder what the UK general election will bring, interesting times. Love the fact in the US, even the "educated " use Celbs to win votes..
Not a lot, I only put £10 on it, I wasn't that sure myself, but thought 5/1 on a 2 horse race wasn't bad. :Woot: I just got the same feeling I got with Brexit.
Very true. In America the turkeys vote for Xmas and this is achieved by waving a lottery ticket at them which gives the winner the right to own the turkey farm. The turkeys don't do maths and think that if they vote for Xmas, they will soon be running the farm. What they fail to compute is that there are 1'000 turkeys and only one winning ticket. But they prefer to "be in it to win it". They also all think that God will make sure the winning ticket comes to them. That, as far as I can see, is how the US works.
The dilemma for American Turkeys is do they vote for Christmas or do they vote to stay in the battery farm? It isn't a good choice either way.
In the US election, the decision has been made and the voting was binding, but everyone gets a chance to vote the opposite way in four years time. In complete contrast the UK referendum was advisory, thus not binding and the decision has yet to be made, but Brexiteers are trying to pretend it was permanent and conclusive.
just because i thought if was a funny wee ditty. It’s going to be grand, because Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage both say so, and just like the Donald Trump whom they’re competing to sook up to they’d never lie. Let’s get on with cutting all our ties to Europe, they both urge. They’re a bit like the chieftains on Easter Island who called on their tribespeople to cut down the last trees on the island in order to move a big and pointless stone statue, provoking a total collapse of the island’s civilisation and a descent into human sacrifice and a cannibalistic civil war. The difference of course is that the Easter Islanders at least ended up with some big statues to show for their sacrifices, whereas the only beings who will express any interest in a statue of Nigel Farage will be the doos which crap on it. And anyway no one is proposing to throw Nigel into a volcano as a sacrifice to propitiate Donald Trump, which is a bit disappointing really. I must confess I did get my hopes up slightly when I saw that photie of Nige and the Donald grinning in front of a pair of golden doors which looked like something from an Indiana Jones movie, and was sort of hoping that they’d open the doors and immediately be devoured by giant spiders, and or fall into a tank of ravenous piranhas. But it was not to be. Doors like that are more usually associated with Egyptian pyramids and contain mummies whose brains and hearts have been removed and are stored in jars. Which isn’t a bad description of Nigel and Donald, come to think of it
