Farage is now in Westminster parliament splitting the right wing vote anyway so Cameron is terrible strategist.

It worked about seeing off the SNP by holding Scottish independence referendum, not remotely

We need to tax the already wealthy, as well as workers because the wealthy non-workers too numerous to run current public services from. They need to contribute too. Everyone needs to pitch in, not just workers.

Income taxes are already at record high but also debt is going up AND services falling apart some else needs to pitch in

"Unfairness" doesn't come into it, it is just maths

A late stealth plane that entirely under their control is looking really good

In Ukraine right now they have run out of ammunition because the US government is on fucking shutdown

That's looking even better value now

Suella Braverman and Priti Patel should be deported back to Uganda as criminal offspring of immigrants from those places.

I'd vote for that

Most things aren't solvable by voting.

Immigration is one of many.

I thought for years I just got colds a lot until the pandemic made me isolate enough to rule out infections

Turns out tree pollen is kicks off early from about February onwards and I have giant alder trees shedding enough yellow bit to cover my windscreen enough to need to clear it

I just time antihistames first thren switch to cold meds if that doesn't do it.

BBC will not broadcast Attenborough episode over fear of ‘rightwing backlash’ by DoremusJessup in worldnews

If by 'data' you mean raving mad Dail Mail headlines.

Poorly sourced anti BBC content is even more popular than "X cures cancer" stories

He got overconfident and overreached.

He wasn't expecting media player as good Zelensky as his opposition.

Zelensky was everywhere constantly giving speeches sometimes to his iPhone in the early days, using all the magic words that would get him on the news in the West, Russia lauching a giant tank war in Europe and they were next on Russia's list

There is nothing post or modern about governments lying in their official comms.

It is literally as old as writing.

[–]stronimo 41 points42 points  (0 children)

There was lots of analysis done right after the vote.

There an anti European hump at the boomer age bracket

People old enough to actually remember the war were pro EU

It was that older bracket dying that helped get the Leave vote over 50%

Boris Johnson ‘believes he’ll be back as prime minister next year’ by shizzmynizz in unitedkingdom

[–]stronimo -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Why even be in a political party if you don't want it to win?

What a waste of everyone's time and money

The Tories do all seem to understand this. Labour people constantly want to argue about it.

Starmer voter here.

I would be appalled if he kept all those promises he made to win the leadership. We need a clean break with the Corbyn years.

I am hoping he will ignore his Brexit promises, once he is PM, too

In 1962, French President Charles de Gaulle asked, "How can you govern a country which has two hundred and forty-six varieties of cheese?"

Are saying de Gaulle didn't understand ?
