I didn't say they should die, and I don't want them to die. I'm still frustrated that so many of them voted for Brexit and gave Johnson a huge majority. Yesterday in vox pops on the TV news they were still coming out with the same old nonsense that they like Johnson. What's wrong with them? Why were so many of them so gullible? It's bizarre. Like an infectious disease sweeping the North. Or maybe the Johnson-is-a-good-bloke excuse is just a way to hide their xenophobia and racism. A lot of them in the mill towns voted Brexit to get rid of foreigners, i.e. Pakistanis. If it hadn't been for all the stories about the so-called Asian grooming gangs I think the Brexit vote would have gone the other way.

Changing the facts
I’m sure Urban used to be better at this than this.
Maybe I’m just older and it’s the same as saying “the telly used to be better in my day”
David Clapson you joined in 2015 so you were here during the endless threads that eviscerated the shit you’re coming out with here. Go back and re-read some of those discussions.
Memes and Bantz. Isn’t that what the Bandwidth thread is for? Or Facebook? I get that nothing anyone says makes any fucking difference so we may as well make jokes while the world burns. But it does look flip and it gets dull when... well, the world is fucking burning ffs.
I’m no good at the discourse myself but I really miss reading it on here.

When you're irreconcilably of polar opposite views as the people pulling the levers, I'm not sure there's much that can be done.
Johnson should've been out on his ear for proroguing parliament, let alone herd immunity, but it didn't suit his enablers to ditch him until now. The same will happen with Truss, and anything you or I do won't make a jot of difference.
Discourse was exhausted years ago.
I'm not suggesting that doomscrolling thru pages of twitter memes and ignored poster is great - just unsure what else is on offer.

It's all fucking horrible, I personally have nothing constructive left to say. All I have apart from keeping my head down and looking after my boy (and the few remaining splinters of community left in my messed up world) is laughing at her name, like I did at boris penis err johnson's.
I literally have no idea what to do next.

The tweets aren't good enough for the bandwidth thread, and everyone knows it. Otherwise everyone would be laughing too much to give a fuck about the discourse.

You've often been wrong on plenty of the detail mind...Been right so far
Personally I'm unconvinced Truss will be a worse prime minister than Johnson - a worse prime minister would surely be a competent one. As it is, I think there's a good chance Truss and her government will be tangled up in events and unable to act fully in the way she'd like to until she loses the next election in two year's time, as Johnson has been (mostly) for the first part of this parliament.

I'm not a huge fan of the Tories, however, I do want them to succeed in government because people desperately need their support.

If people get their support, that will be a failure for them.

What’s amazing about Johnson is that aside from the protest bill he pissed an 80 seat majority away doing nothing aside from lining pockets.
More of this incompetence please
exactly - this is what I mean by tied up with events. The current moment requires action which needs to be taken, and which will - albeit probably late, and probably not entirely sufficiently - but which will prevent them from carrying out the programme of government they'd like.

If there's one tiny upside to all this, it's that people will now stop referring to the PM in these ridiculous matey first name terms.
'Boris' FFS.
(I know it's not his actual first name.)

Truss to push ahead with low-tax economy despite calls for caution
Reports that prospective PM is also considering freezing energy bills this winter at a cost of up to £100bnwww.theguardian.com
She isn't even officially in power yet but I hate her already. Is it possible we have the addiction to popularity of Johnson, the stupidity and viciousness of Patel and the understanding of global economics of the slug I evicted from the kitchen this morning, all in the one festering ToryZombie ?
I once had a job counting the votes of the Tory leadership election. Tories don't do spunking cocks they right little essays about the dreadful state of the Tory Party, like it's the letters pages of The Times.
